Cupcake craft challenge #160–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

Hello again dear friends.  As promised I’m back to share my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week the lovely Delphine has set the theme and she has chosen “the dark side” and in Delphine’s own words she would like to see ‘only purple and black’.  You can stamp onto a neutral and use skin tones and hair colour, unless you want purple or black hair but otherwise, it's all purple and black!  Such a fantastic theme don’t you think.  Here is my card:

I have used an image kindly donated by our sponsor this week called “Dotty” and I coloured her with my promarkers.  The paper is papermania from the ‘happy birthday to you’ paper pack and the purple card is from the papermill shop.  I used a MS punch for the border and an ek success punch for the swirls behind the image. 

Our sponsor this week is Prairie Fairy designs and the lucky winner will receive a $15 gift certificate to spend in their online store. 

Don’t forget we also have our ‘icing on the cupcake’ sponsor, who for September is, Bunny Zoe’s crafts and one lucky winner will receive a £15.00 gift voucher to spend in their online store. 

The rest of the design team have created amazingly beautiful samples as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.  We really appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us. 

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Corrosive challenge – punches and/or dies

OSAAT challenge – punch it

Delightful challenge – girlie girl

Winter wonderland #–DT card

Good morning dear friends, here is another catch up post from me!  Hopefully things will return to normal now as my dad is finally home from hospital and is doing really well.  I’m taking my tablets, like a good girl (lol!), so I’m hoping I will start to feel back to normal soon as well (well as normal as I can!).  Ok, onto the reason you are here – to see a card!  This is my card for this week’s winter wonderland challenge and Lynsey has chosen the theme of “a little mistletoe”.  Here is my card:

I had a bit of a panic when I heard the theme and couldn’t think of one single image I had that included mistletoe but after wracking my little brain and checking my digi images I found this cutie from Prairie Fairy. I have coloured her with promarkers in fairly traditional colours. 

Our sponsor this week is Crafty Emma’s store and the lucky winner will receive a £10.00 voucher to spend in her online store. 

The rest of the design team have created gorgeous samples for your inspiration, as always, so please pop over to the challenge blog and check them out.

Cupcake craft challenge #133–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my stamp with fun DT card

Hello again, I’m back with my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week the lovely Delphine has set the theme and she has chosen “monochromatic” (which means that you must use different shades of the same colour).  I decided to go with pink as my colour.  I was lucky enough to be given an image by our sponsor this week to use on my card.  Here is my card:

The image is of course by prairie fairy designs and is called ‘ballerina Gillian’.  The papers are all from the dovecraft ‘back to basics’ paper pack.  The image was a dream to colour and I think the card turned out super girly lol! 

We have two sponsors this week, firstly we have prairie fairy designs and the lucky winner will receive 5 digi images of their choice.

Charisma cardz #44 – DT card

Good morning everyone, the week is flying by so quickly again, can’t believe it’s already Thursday.  So that means it’s time for a brand new challenge over at charisma cardz challenge and the theme this week has been set by the lovely Carly-Ann and she has chosen “with love at Christmas”.  Most of us need to get ahead with our Christmas cards at this time of year so what a brilliant theme.  Here is my card:

 

Isn’t the image so much fun.  It’s from Prairie Fairy and it’s called ‘mistletoe kisses’.  This is the first time I’ve tried an all white card (besides the image of course) and I actually quite like the effect.  It looks better IRL as it was quite difficult to photograph. 

We have two sponsors this week, firstly we have Simon Says Stamp and they are offering a $20.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Our second sponsor is Prairie Fairy Digital Stamps and they are offering 5 digis to the winner.  As you can see from my card they do really fun and quirky images, so you will be spoilt for choice.

The rest of the design team have created gorgeous cards once again this week (and quite a few have used the same image as me lol!) so why not pop over and check them out.

Susie’s sassy challenge #9 – DT card

The new challenge over at Susie’s sassy challenge this fortnight has been chosen by Lisa and it is a colour combo – aqua and lilac.  The DT were all given images by Roberta at Prairie Fairy Designs and I’ve used a gorgeous image called ‘snow fairy’.  I coloured the image with my promarkers and added stickles to her wings.  The papers are all making memories from the ‘meg’ paper pack and the ribbon is also making memories.  The flower is from my stash and the snowflake was cut with my MS arctic snowflake punch.  The jewel brad is PM and the adhesive stones are kaisercraft.  The sentiment is by Anita’s and I used my SU and woodware circle punches to cut it out.  The swirls were cut with my EK success flourish punch. 

As you’ve probably guessed our sponsor is Prairie Fairy Designs and our winner can choose 3 digi images from her shop (I’m so jealous!). 

The rest of the DT have done an amazing job with the images and Roberta from Prairie Fairy has also made a card for our challenge so if you get chance please check them out.
