Bee crafty challenge #18

This is my card for the current bee crafty challenge, which is ‘add some sparkle’.  I made for this for my niece’s 16th birthday last Monday.  The image is digital and is by sketching stamper and is called ‘vicki shops’.  I coloured the image with my promarkers.  The gorgeous glittery paper is by DCWV from the glitter stack (and this was my last piece *sob*) and the grid papers is doodlebug.  The flowers are from my stash and the leaves were punched with my L’em punch.  The sentiments were created on the pc (the round one was cut with my nesties and the oval one with my SU oval punches) and the adhesive glittery dots were from QVC. 

It was my son’s 13th birthday yesterday (Saturday) and I can’t believe that my baby is now a teenager *yikes*).  We went for a birthday treat of pizza and cinema.  He wanted to see 2012 and it was quite good, although I was a typical girl and cried in all the sad bits!!  Here is a picture of my son taken in the summer (he’ll kill me if he sees this).

I’m also going to enter my card for a spoonfull of sugar challenge as their challenge this week is a colour combo of brown plus either pink or blue.  Obviously I have used pink but there is a bit of orange too so I hope this will still count.  I hope you are all having a fab weekend.  Thanks for stopping by.

Cupcake craft challenge #66 – DT card

* THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY PLEASE SCROLL DOWN TO SEE MY STAMP WITH FUN DT CARD *

Over at cupcake craft challenge this week it is my turn to choose the challenge theme and as our sponsor was a digital stamp company I decided to plump for ‘digital images’ as our theme. 

Our sponsor this week is Sketching Stamper and one lucky winner will receive 6 digital images of their choice - wow what a fantastic prize. 

The DT were lucky enough to be able to use digi-images from our sponsor to use on our cards and I chose this gorgeous ‘butterfly fairy’ image.  I coloured the image with my promarkers, although the yellow turned out to be a little stronger than I wanted.  I added highlights to her wings with a sakura gelly roll pen.  The papers are K & Co (I think – it was the last piece!) and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  The flowers are from my stash and the flower heads are from Joanna Sheen.  The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment was created on the pc.  The gorgeous swirls are basic grey and consist of a rub-on with gems to embellish.  The finished card is A5 in size and was ordered by my aunt. 

I can’t wait to see your gorgeous creations and look forward to visiting your blogs.  Thanks for stopping by.
