Dottie & Morning Blues - Penny Black Saturday Challenge
Morning everyone. I have now not had a ciggie for 48 hours, but I have developed a really rotten cold, (is this anything to do with giving up I ask myself). Anyway I am not missing it too much at the moment, hope it goes on like that.
Well its Saturday and that means its time to play Penny Black Saturday Challenge, and this week we have a topic that suits me fine "DOTTIE", we would like to see your dotty and spotty creations, and our own dear Kath has donated this weeks Prize, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check out the DT cards and join us in this dotty challenge.
This little star has been coloured with Copics and matted onto Green and Pink Base card, the papers are Basic Grey, the small dotty one is from the new released pad "Bittersweet" which I found whilst browing the Glitterpot website. I crocheted the flower and add a gold centre and brad. The crown brad and ribbon are from poppicraft. The little glass sentiment says Sister but the flash reflected off the glass so it doesn't show up.
I carried the "Bittersweet" papers on to the inside and the swirls are by Stempleglede.
Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 43 - Have a Giggle
What a great theme this is, great Idea girls to cheer us up after christmas and to take our minds of the doom and gloom of the economic outlook, and some brilliant cards from you this week. To join the challenge and see the fabulous DT cards just click Here
The fabulous humourous stamps I have used for this card all come from the Ethel & Murray stamp sets I bought from Ideal World the other week, there are two sheets of stamps, which include men and women and some fabulous sentiments, these are just ideal for older friends cards, as long as you know they have a good sense of humour.
This looks just like me in the mornings (minus the curlers), it takes me ages to become human in the morning at least 4 cups of tea (and it used to be at least 4 ciggies). I received a lovely Christmas Present from my dearest friend Donalda she sent me 12 SU re-inkers, I have been waiting for a chance to use them and these stamps are perfect. I used the SU reinkers and H20's to colour but still used tattered rose distress ink for the skin tones. Thanks Donalda they are fabulous to colour with, I love them.
I used another Ethel image for the inside of the card as I really wanted to show you as many as I could. She has been coloured by the same method. Both the sentiments are from the stamp sets. Hope you enjoyed them as much as I did
Thanks for looking
Hugs

Fabulous dotty card, love the cute image. But I did laugh at the second one especially the inside.
Just catching up with all my favourite blogs Jacqui and your latest creations are just wonderful! I adore the way you decorate the insides of your cards too.
Good luck with the smoking, I gave up over 3 years ago now (after nearly 40 years) and don't miss it at all.
Both cards are fantastic - but the CCT card is brilliant.
Beautiful creations Jacqui. Love Dotti on the first one ... wish my legs were as thin. And the second has really put a smile on my dial for the rest of the weekend. Hang in there with your quitting... it can only get better. Hugs from Desire

Love both your cards. The inside of the first one is as gorgeous and the outside and the second one gave me a good giggle! It is warming up a little over here. At least the kiddies can play outside without danger of frost-bite! I'm not kidding...for a couple of days it was so cold they couldn't go out for recess at school...they were going stir-crazy! Hugs Jeanette
Great cards, Jacqui, the dots are fab and love the old dears giggle card too, such fun humour!
