Charisma cardz #25–DT card

Good morning dear friends.  Another week is flying by and as it’s Thursday it’s time for a brand new challenge over at charisma cardz challenge.  This week is the lovely Gemma has set the theme and she has chosen “white & 1 other colour” although hair/skin colours are allowed.  The DT were all given digi images by our sponsor Robyn’s Fetish and here is my card:

The quirky image is called ‘Christie angel’ and I have coloured it with my promarkers.  I decided to try and make a CAS style card, although it’s so different to my normal style that I’m not really sure if I like it lol!  I’m happy with the individual pieces but don’t feel that I’ve used them to their best!! 

As I mentioned our sponsor this week is Robyn’s Fetish and the lucky winner will receive 5 digital stamps or 4 digital stamps and 1 digital paper set of their choice.

Passion for promarkers #74 – DT card

Happy Tuesday everyone!  Well the weather has turned a bit chilly hasn’t it?  I think my winter woollies will be out soon.  Enough of my rambling I’m here today to share with you my DT card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge.  This week’s challenge has been set by the lovely Anja and she has chosen “make a pink/white or purple/white Christmas card”.  Don’t forget you must use your promarkers or aqua markers to be eligible for our prize.  Here is my card:

Now as I thought most of you would probably go for a pink/white Christmas card I decided to plump for a purple/white one instead and chose this gorgeous LOTV image.  It’s the first time I’ve inked him up but it definitely won’t be the last!  The papers aren’t actually Christmas papers but I thought the dotty paper looked a bit like snow falling :)

Our sponsor this week is whiff of joy stamps and one lucky person will win 1 stamp of their choice.

Cupcake craft challenge #113 – DT card

Hello again, I promised you I would be back didn’t I!  I’m sharing my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week’s theme has been set by the lovely Shelly and she has chosen “boys and their toys”, so we want to see lots of cars, bikes etc this week.  I have chosen a fun image by Mo Manning to use on my card (and will stash it away until my son’s birthday in November as it is him down to a T!).  Here is my card:

 

The only thing I don’t like about this card is the rub-on I used looks really crappy in the photos – although it doesn’t look so bad IRL.  The image is so fantastic and as I mentioned this is how my son looks pretty much all of the time :)

Our sponsor this week is the ribbon girl and the lucky winner will receive a ribbon bundle (more details on the challenge blog).

Don’t forget we also have our cupcake madness draw.  For this month we have Lili of the Valley as our sponsor and one lucky winner will receive 3 stamps of their choice.  To be in with a chance of winning you must enter at least 2 of our challenges during October – easy right?

Passion for Promarkers #40 – DT card

Our theme this week over at passion for promarkers challenge has been chosen by our GDT Tracy.  She would like us to use the colour combo tulip yellow and baby pink but also include some stitching on our projects.  For my card I used a sweet CC designs digi image called ‘Rosalie with roses’ and coloured her with the following promarkers:

Dress, shoes and roses – baby pink and cocktail pink

Details on dress, socks and ribbon in hair – tulip yellow and sunflower

Hair – tan, caramel and satin

Skin – ivory, blush and pastel pink

Shading around image – ice grey 1

The papers are all from my scrap box and the yellow card is from the papermill shop.  I used my oval nesties to cut out the image and my SU oval punches to cut out the sentiment (which is a pebbles inc rub-on).  The ribbon is SU and the adhesive gems are from my stash.  The tiny rosebuds are from wild orchid crafts and the faux stitching was created with a black fineliner pen.  My card didn’t turn out anything like I planned but I’m quite happy with the finished result.

Please scroll down to see my stamp with fun DT card.

Our theme over at cupcake craft challenge this week has been chosen by the lovely Shelly and her theme is ‘four legged and furry’ (in other words a furry animal lol). For my card I used an image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Valentine George’ and I coloured him with my promarkers (the valentine characters are currently on ‘offer of the month’ at DSB). The paper is by pebbles inc and the plain card is SU. I used my circle nesties to cut out the image and my new MS lace scallop heart punch to cut out the hearts (I added a piece of pink card behind them). I used my MS valentine lace border punch for the decorative edge and ribbon is from fantastic ribbons. The sentiment is SU from the ‘Mr & Mrs’ stamp set and cut it out with my SU oval punches. The adhesive stones are PM and the butterfly is another MS punch (glassene butterfly)!! I know it’s a busy card but I’m really happy with how it turned out.

Cupcake craft challenge #74 – DT card

This week over at cupcake craft challenge it was Kathrin’s turn to choose our challenge and she has give us a wonderful sketch to follow.  Our sponsor this week is Di’s Digi Downloads and she kindly gave each of the DT one of her digi images to use. 

Now it was a difficult decision to decide which one to have as they are all so cute but I plumped for ‘Maisy sitting with Kaboodle’ and coloured it with my promarkers (adding stickles to the centres of the flowers).  The papers are all making memories from the ‘Meg’ paper pack and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  I used my swiss dots embossing folder in the CB and ran a colorbox cats eye chalk inkpad over the top to highlight the embossing.  I cut out the circle with my nesties and the buttons are doodlebug.  The sentiment is a rub-on by pebbles inc.

Our lucky winner will receive 5 digi images courtesy of Di’s Digi Downloads and as I said there are so many cute images to chose from you’ll be in digi heaven!! 

The rest of the DT have done a fantastic job with Kathrin’s sketch and I hope you’ll pop over and take a look. 

I’m also entering my card for the following challenges:

Dare you to digi stamp challenge – Buttons

ABC challenge (yes again) – L is for layering

Crafty Catz challenge – Birthday card

Digital Tuesday challenge – Emboss it

One Stop Craft Challenge – Fancy edges or corners (scalloped edge on circle)

I can’t wait to see what you come up with and look forward to visiting your blogs.  Thanks for stopping by.

Colour Create #15/ASFOS #51

This is my second post for today, please scroll down to see my earlier card!!

This is my entry for this week's colour create challenge, which is 'blue and green' (with the optional extra of paper piecing - which I forgot lol) and a spoonfull of sugar which is 'buttons galore'. The image is high hopes 'Anthony James' (available from Dies to Die For) and I coloured him with my promarkers. The dp is BG from the archaic paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment is a rub-on by pebbles inc and the buttons are from my stash. I used this week's stamptacular sketch but to be entered you can't combine it with any other challenge d'oh! Thanks for stopping by.

DU2DS #3/Sketch saturday #47

This week's dare you to digi stamp challenge is 'pink and green' and the sketch saturday challenge is a fab sketch. I used a digi download from grab-a-doodle-do and coloured her with my pro-markers. The floral dp is BG and the green gingham dp is by craft creations. The plain cs is from the papermill shop and the sentiment is stamping bella. The circle was cut with my new nestie and run through the CB with the swiss dots embossing folder. The flowers are from my amazing candy from Sally-Ann and the adhesive dot is from QVC. The pink candy dots are pebbles inc. The decorative edge on the pink cs was cut with my fiskars threading water paper punch. Thanks for stopping by.

The Sugar Bowl #8

This is my entry for this week's Sugar Bowl challenge, which is a sketch by Tiet. I stamped the sugar nellie image 'a little birdie told me' and coloured her with my pro-markers (but sadly for the little birdie I didn't ink him up lol!). The dp is BG from the sugared paper pad and the cs is from the papermill shop. The sentiment was created on the pc and the pink candy dots are by pebbles inc. The olive coloured flower was punched out with my woodware paper punch (twice) onto white card and coloured with a pro-marker (not a bad colour match) and the pink flower is from my stash. This sketch was quite tricky to use but I love the finished result. Thanks for stopping by.

Mojo sketch challenge #70

This is my card for this week's mojo sketch challenge. I used a forever friends image and coloured it with my pro-markers. The dp is by pebbles inc and the pink and black cs is from the papermill shop. I used a woodward large scallop circle punch and handcut the smaller circle (I need to get me some round nesties!!). I used the elzybells heart stamp from the s-moo-ches valentine clear set and used a pink brilliance ink pad. I also stamped some dots using my large SU background stamp with brilliance ink on the long pink panel. It's hard to tell in the photo but in real life the ink shimmers, it's really yummy ink. The sentiment is again an elzybells stamp that I only stamped part of. Thanks for looking.

Friday sketchers & CCT challenge

I don't know where the time goes. So here I am combining yet another two challenges this week. I've used the sketch from the Friday sketchers and the CCT challenge was "things that grow". I thought this adorable penny black image fitted the bill perfectly. I coloured the image with my new pro-markers and added stickles to the flowers. I used the cabana paper pack by inque boutique and plain cs from the papermill shop. The sentiment is a pebbles inc rub-on and the flowers are from my stash. I also used papermania adhesive stones in the centres of the flowers. A real summery feeling to this card. Thanks for looking.

Penny Black & Friday Sketchers challenge

Another combined challenge!! The penny black challenge this week was pink, green & brown and obviously the Friday Sketchers was to follow a sketch (d'oh). I stamped the penny black flower chicky image and watercoloured with marvy markers. The flower dp is me & my BIG ideas, crackle dp is from a stack from QVC, plain green cs is from the papermill shop. Small piece of brown cs is bazill. Rub-on (which is a bit difficult to see) is by Pebbles Inc. Flowers are from my stash. Gem brads and adhesive stones are by papermania. I'm not that happy with this card as I stuck the small pieces of dp down in the wrong order and it looks a bit "off" but hey we have to show the bad as well as the good don't we? Thanks for looking.
