The Design  team card for Creative Knockouts  is lots of layers and our sponsor is polkadoodles The image I am using is milkshake drink rebel

I tried this on a white base card but decided  a coloured base looked better, my colours were green and pink. I found the backing paper in my stash, while having a tidy up forgot it was there, the scallop  was embossed with the swiss dot embossing folder the image was coloured with copics the sentiment was a stamp and I used the pickled raspberry distress ink

I might add some bling to it when I decide to send it

The Design team card for Creative Knockouts is a fun fold and our sponsor is all dressed up The image I am using is two little mice 

I am not sure what this fold is called but a back to front fold would be close 

I used a purple base card, scored and burnished my folds the two outer panels I have used a heart backing paper ,have cut a purple and a white branch adhered the bottom together, cut a white  set of leaves and made a purple flower and put a  cream coloured gem in the middle

The middle and side  panels are cream with a faint leaf pattern, I then coloured my image with copics and mounted onto card with foam squares that then was adhered to  another floral backing paper that was on card, That was then adhered to the base card just  to the edge of the fold so it stands out when the card is opened out.

I cut three with love sentiments and adhered to one another just makes them pop out a bit

The three flowers on the top I originally was going to put on the side panels  but didn't look right, they were too small and as the space I put then on looked rather bare without anything on it, so there they went

The back I haven't decided what to do with that, it will either have a white card there to write on or a stickers and the coloured bard base

The Design team card for Creative Knockouts  is Christmas in July and our sponsor is Rachelle Anne Miller I am using snowman globe

Here in NZ we have a summer Christmas so Christmas in July is getting to be quite a thing

I decided to make my image a ornament

I printed out the image twice one was reversed and coloured them with copics, the stars were coloured with a silver metallic brush pen

I then found the Christmas tree template resized it then copied it and reversed it. I cut them out on the scan n cut, I then embossed them with a snowflake EB folder then rubbed shabby shutters distress ink over it  punched a hole in the tree for the ribbon, then I fussy cut the globes, not very tidy,then adhered them and the globes together

Once I had done that I decided it looked too plain and a bit dowdy so I added some iridescent gems so they can sparkle 

So this is how it ended up Gems are not sparkling in the photo but they do sparkle  

Nearer to Christmas I might change my mind and put this onto a card

Winnie

The lastest challenge at Creative Knockouts  is for Die cuts/stencils-punches and our sponser is Polkadoodles and the image I am working with is Blossoming Winnie 

I started off with a white base card 

I then die cut my backing paper and adhered it to the base,

Printed out the image Die cut it then coloured with copics.

I had a few edge punches but didn't like any of them with the die cut image, so I die cut the lace edge

I used a foam strip along the edge cut so it would stand out then used a thicker foam to the side of the die cut image 

I do not usually put a sentiment on my cards or bling them unless or until I decide who I am giving the card to but I should imagine this will be blinged

This challenge at  Creative Knockouts is For the kids from using a image from Doctor Digi  the image I am using is  trevors treehouse 

I made this a stepper card,as the green backing paper was left over from another card and put into my stash,of, to use some time and I thought it looked a bit like grass.I printed off the image twice so I could  3d the bits by glueing them together rather than do it with foam dots. I was going to do it with the tyre,flag and Trev only Trev looked ok, not that it is noticable. I coloured the image with copics. the treehouse is different shades of grey, the first one I did was brown and then then the tree trunk was brown it all just merged into a big brown blob The Happy Birthday is a die I cut three of tthem and glued them together then adhered to green cardd then ontto the bottom of the card with foam dots I might add something to the side pieces yet although I do like it the way it is

             

                  

 The challenge at    Creative Knockouts  Is Embossing Delight sponsered byRachelle Anne Miller    and I am using this image Bee yourself

I decided to make a Quadruple z fold card thought it would be a good way to show off the embossing and its a fun fold to make there is a lot of tutorials on you tube

The Embossing folder is called Bee's Delight 

I embossed the card then cut to sizes then used Mustard Seed Distress ink to ink all the edges 

Cut the Frames with the Cuttle Bug and distressed the edges of them also I did some slightly heavier bits I was trying to give it the honey on the fingers onto the  paper look 

Added sentiment to bottom it says "you are awesome" and also added a wee bee beside it 

   

                                                                                             

Birthday Wishes

 This challenge over at Creative knockouts is Birthday Wishes with an image from Mirtillamente called sweet birthday Definitely think I need a new Camera The photo is not that Bright

I started with a White base card, 

The pink embossed card was in my stash thought it looked a bit like a waffle cone. 

I had some strips of backing paper so did a twisted ribbon technique which is so easy to do, there are some tutorials on you tube 

I distressed the edges with black soot distress ink I then adhered to the black card. Then onto the embossed card, I used a strong glue as the panel didn't really stick to the embossed card 

I scanned the image, then cut it out with my scan n cut, I then added a border on to the image and cut it out using black card, I coloured the image with my copics then adhered to the black card I then adhered the image to the card with one inch and two inch double sided foam tape just so the sentiment is even
