			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week at <a href="http://sentimentalsundays.blogspot.ie/" target="_blank">Sentimental Sundays</a> we are challenging you to Show your Spots &#8211; and include a sentiment. We have an added bonus for you this week however. You must follow the weekly theme, but if you use the BONUS provided, you get to enter your entry twice. This week the entry is a sketch.

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week at <a href="http://paperplaychallenges.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">PaperPlay Challenges</a> our challenge is Double Delight. We want you to use two of something on your project. We are sponsored this week by <a href="http://www.in2stamps.com/" target="_blank">In 2 Stamps</a>.</p>
<p>I created a clean and simple vintage wedding card. A mind boggling combo but you have to do what you are asked right?!</p>
<p><a href="http://nicoleqmullen.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/double-delight-small.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2834" title="double delight small" src="http://nicoleqmullen.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/double-delight-small.jpg?w=584&h=595" alt="" width="584" height="595" /></a></p>
<p>The lovely Prima papers took care of the vintage aspect. I then kept it very simple with a die cut stamped with a sentiment. My double delight is the two butterflies with a touch of bling.</p>
<p>Make sure to check out the rest of the design teams work, as always they have created beautiful work!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I picked up a mini canvas on sale a few weeks ago and decided I wanted to play with it. I coloured it with alcohol inks and then stamped a motorcycle stamp all over it. I then used embossing powder (WOW Embossing powder - blueberry) to distress up the edges. I then painted a small slip of wood and embossed the edges of that also (WOW Embossing powder &#8211; pepper). I stamped and embossed the sentiment (WOW Embossing powder - black). I stamped another message on the bottom right corner too. To add a bit more impact to the sentiment I die cut two cogs and embossed a flourish pattern on them (WOW Embossing powder - paprika).</p>
<p>In my head I pictured this working out totally differently, but that&#8217;s art for you isn&#8217;t it! I wanted it to be a mini inspirational canvas for a guy I know who loves motorbikes. I am not sure I really like how it has worked out but I will live with it for a while and see. I can always paint over it!</p>

<p>I am entering this into the <a href="http://wowembossingpowder.blogspot.co.uk/2012/05/may-challenge-earthtones.html" target="_blank">WOW Embossing Powder challenge</a> which is for masculine projects. I also used lots of their earth tone embossing powders on my project.</p>
<p>Thanks for stopping by!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Welcome to our new <a href="http://sentimentalsundays.blogspot.com/" target="_blank">Sentimental Sundays</a> challenge for this week. This week we are all about being Whimsical- with a sentiment of course! We are sponsored by A Day For Daisies.</p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><a href="http://adayfordaisies.com/"><img class="aligncenter" src="http://xa.yimg.com/kq/groups/48924823/sn/266603294/name/ADFD+Square+Flower+Button+transparent.jpg" alt="ADFD Square Flower Button transparent" width="234" height="223" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I used an adorable image called <a href="http://adayfordaisies.com/stamps/index.php?main_page=product_info&amp;cPath=21&amp;products_id=948" target="_blank">Dragon Gifts</a>. I coloured it with my Inktense pencils and added some shimmer to the dragon and the fairy wings with perfect pearls. I am having great fun using my pencils and figuring out how how to get shading effects etc. But its fun practising!!</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://nicoleqmullen.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/whimsy-small.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2802" title="whimsy small" src="http://nicoleqmullen.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/whimsy-small.jpg?w=584&h=639" alt="" width="584" height="639" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">I fussy cut the image out &#8211; it took quite a while! I then glued the bottom of the image (the lower part of the grass strip) directly to the card base that I had inked up blue for sky. The rest of the image I raised up with foam dots to make it look like the grass, fairy and dragon were popping off the card&#8230;.</p>
<p style="text-align:left;"><a href="http://nicoleqmullen.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/whimsy-side-view-small.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2803" title="whimsy side view small" src="http://nicoleqmullen.files.wordpress.com/2012/05/whimsy-side-view-small.jpg?w=584&h=605" alt="" width="584" height="605" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align:left;">Thanks for stopping by. Make sure to check out the rest of the design teams stunning creations!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This is my first ever attempt at creating a digital collage. Retro Cafe Art Gallery have a fantastic <a href="http://www.retrocafeart.com/pages/FreeGoodies.htm" target="_blank">Las Vegas themed freebie</a> up on offer at the moment. To enter simply download the free collage sheet and use it through any medium you like and then post a picture of your creation on their FB wall. Simple and fun!</p>
<p>I created my tag in Photoshop and used some vintage splatter brushes to age it up a bit. I then cropped out parts of the collage sheet and applied them to the tag. I am not the best at Photoshop but I am happy enough with this for my first attempt at a digital collage!</p>

<p>The design team got images to play with &#8211; lucky us <img src='http://s0.wp.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':)' class='wp-smiley' />  I picked out the adorable <a href="http://www.bugaboostamps.com/Birthday-Penguin--cupcake_p_2428.html" target="_blank">Birthday Penguin</a> with cupcake for on my card. He is holding balloons to fit the B theme and I added a double bow and a button too. I added glossy accents to the balloons to make them look dimensional and also some stickles for sparkle on my cupcake. I also added glossy accents to the polka dots on the cupcake wrapper and to the penguins beak.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>This week at Paper Play Challenges the theme is Chipboard &#8211; use chipboard on your project. We are kindly sponsored by <a href="http://www.craftycutting.com" target="_blank">Crafty Cutting</a>. It is not actually my turn to play along with the design team this week, but I had this adorable mini album from Crafty Cutting so I just couldn&#8217;t resist!</p>
<p><a href="http://nicoleqmullen.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/crafty-cutting-mini-small-copy.jpg"><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-2757" title="crafty cutting mini small copy" src="http://nicoleqmullen.files.wordpress.com/2012/04/crafty-cutting-mini-small-copy.jpg?w=584&h=510" alt="" width="584" height="510" /></a></p>
<p>I painted it pink and used some old Basic Grey papers to decorate it with, along with some flowers and embellishments. I have yet to add a title on it however. I covered the inside pages in a similar manner matting the BG papers in the centre. I also added some tags and extra non chipboard pages too. Very cleverly I forgot to take more pictures though :/</p>
<p>Make sure to check out the rest of the design teams creations, I love all the variety you can get with chipboard!</p>
