The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers Challenge #271 - B is for Black, Black Heart

We're having far, far too much fun over at The Sisterhood of Snarky Stampers with Challenge #271 as we play B is for Black, Black Heart. Doesn't Edna look the bizz? 

We'd like to see anti-valentines or black on your cards, or even a combination of the two - whatever floats your crazy little love boat. 

Here's what I made using one of my most favourite stamps from Rubber Moon designed by Mary Engelbreit. I don't know why this lil gal makes me laugh so much, but she does! 

BTW, you may be relieved to know I'm not sending the card above to my hubby. He's getting this one instead!

The XOXOXOXO background is from Simon Says Stamp and I cannot stop playing with it. Seriously, I. Just. Can't. 

I'm linking this little chameleon card over at Inkspirational because their word prompt of XOXO just seems to fit perfectly! 

The current AAA Colourful Challenge also seems like a good place for my cards to go and play. 

And I'm also linking to Lost Coast Design as rightly, or wrongly, I think my chameleon card fits in here too... sort of!

The Christmas Kickstart Challenge #11 - Christmas Kids!

For this challenge I'm delighted to be joined by my lovely, long-term blogging buddy, Lindsey.

Our theme for this fortnight is:

Challenge #11 - Christmas Kids

We'd love to see cards featuring children, or that you would make for a child.

My first card features those gorgeous MFT Bitty Bears from this card.

Instead of little brown bears, this time I decided to go with little polar bears and a very limited colour palette. The sentiment is from the same set.

My next card is one that I made a little while ago.

I've used this sentiment before, but it seems to go so well with this little cutie from Rubbermoon.

My final card looks so much better IRL. The bokeh background was created with stencils after stamping and masking the little girl from Eat Cake Graphics. The sentiment is from an Ink Road set. 

I really hope you'll drop over to The Christmas Kickstart to see Lindsey's gorgeous cards, and to play along!
