Blast From The Past #4

 

Every Monday I'm going to (or try to!) add a card, or creation that I made waaay back, as I've noticed a lot of my pictures from years ago have disappeared. So...here we go with something from either the 1st of the month, first time I'd used or done something or... made on a Monday or made in the same month as now! This one is the first time I used those teo PinkPetticoat papers together.

This blast from the past comes from  February 2013, using one of my favourite Limited Runs digis. It was and most likely the only time I'll use that Sentiment! Don't forget there's no longer any Quirky Crafts and most of the links here do not go anywhere!

It's Really Quirky, This Supernatual Love

Over on Quirky Crafts, Cazzy has put on a reminder about our latest Challenge, another week to go. It's all about Supernatural love... and I was thinking, seeing Nikki from Limited Runs is one of our sponsors, I HAD to use one of my old favourites,  Mad Madison with her Axe. And just when I thought I couldn't think of another way of using her, I thought of two ways! Here's one of them! 'I love you to pieces.....The Tinier the better!'

Madison's been 3D-ed... well, her head and half her body and the axe head have been 3D-ed, coloured with Promarkers, printed PNG Madison straight on to the red tiny heart paper and then added to the card. All papers are PinkPetticoat.

 I've added some eyelash wool, four heart brads and a few punched out hearts too, plus glitter to the edges of the card as well as  Madison's bow, axe and the front of her dress. The tiny black ribbon was recycled from a top and Glossy Accents has been added to her eyes. 

Inside I've used Madison again. This time a little bit smaller over the same red heart papers and also pale green heart papers, this was then all printed out together. (It looks layered but it isn't)

  The Font is is freebie. It's called, very appropriately, Head-injuries  (It takes me ages to plan all this you know, I don't just throw it all together willy-nilly !) click on the link or google the name.

Try My Quirky Cup Cakes?

Evening ! It's That Quirky Time again... every two weeks we have a quirky challenge. This fortnight we're sponsored by Limited Runs and Paper Pretties so that means more prizes!
It's Cazzy's turn to set the theme and she wants to see...

*CUP CAKES*

on your creations! The Quirkier the better!!

So here's mine! I chose to use this Ladybug Swirl cup cake from Limited Runs and as I said over on the Quirky Blog, my link leads to loads of lovely cup cakes and I know I put on at least 12lbs just looking at them!!

The Card. I started by edging a plain pearl card with red Poppy Promarker, (all the red under lay is card edged with Promarker) Printed out about four cup cakes, coloured them, cut one out with a Scalloped circle Nestie and cut the others up to do a bit of 3D-ing. The icing and the ladybirds.
I've used, freebie paper, the red gingham is from activityvillage.co.uk or a bit darker HERE but sorry, the cup cakes were freebies, but are now 99p for the set, download from Paper Craft's Inspiration Magazine HERE (and it took me ages to find them too!) Never mind get over there anyway and save this month's freebies they are fabulous!
Where was I? Oh yes, I just kept adding anything that matched up with the colours or went well with my Ladybird cup cake... even to adding party backing paper to the back of the card, although why I added buttons...? Maybe it was just their colour or I was thinking Chocolate buttons!!
The paper flowers were from a freebie card LMC making set from Crafts Beautiful, bought via Tesco's this month. The large ladybird brad is from a set by Forever Friends ...or ...might be from Pepper and Friends... the rest is from my stash. The two wooden ladybirds were stuck to tiny pegs, but I wrenched them off with a pair of glue ruined scissors!
The Font is a freebie it's called Denne Kitten Heels and you can download that HERE or just Google the name.
As you can see by the picture, I couldn't help but add Mad Madison with her axe to the inside of this card!
That's it for now, except I've just noticed blogger telling me I've used up 97% of my allotted blog space...what happens when I reach 100%?? Scarrry!!! Anyway, pop over to Quirky Crafts and join in. Also, if you use Limited Runs Digital images join in their Gallery Challenge HERE.
This is on Timer, I'm not here, so I'll add challenges later, we're having tea with Lady Pam.... hope we all don't break her new little table!!!*
