Stampavie & more #88 – GDT card

I’m really sad as today is my final guest designer card for the stampavie and more challenge.  Wow I cannot believe where March has gone!!  Our theme this week is ‘friends/friendship’ and for my card I have used an image by DigiStamp Boutique called ‘winter Susie and Jasmin’ and I coloured it with my promarkers.  The text paper doesn’t have a name on it and the snowflake paper is MME.  The plain card is from the papermill shop and the lace is from tabby crafts.  The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with my SU oval all punches.  The red snowflake was cut out with my dovecraft punch and the white snowflakes with my MS arctic snowflake punch.  The adhesive stones are from Joanna sheen.  Woohoo I’m on a roll this must be my FOURTH Christmas card so far this year lol (so much for my not leaving them til last minute again!!). 

The DT have created some amazing samples again this week so if you have time please go and check them out. 

I used the lovely sketch from the truly scrumptious challenge for my card but unfortunately there is a new challenge launching today d’oh! 

I am also entering my card into the following challenges (not too many today!):

Crafty Ann’s challenge – for someone special (my friend!)

Simple doodles challenge – add some layers

Caardvarks challenge – lace

ABC challenge – r is for red

I hope you can enter our challenge this week.  Have a wonderful day – not long now until Easter – a guilt free time to eat chocolate - mmmmm yummy chocolate!!  Thanks for stopping by today. 

Oh my goodness – a card for lots of challenges!

Well there are so many similar challenges around this week that my card (unbelievably) fits in with 19 challenges – definitely a first for me!  I made this card for my parents for their anniversary.  I used a digi image from the greeting farm called ‘Anya valentine’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  I used my new BG papers from the sugar rush paper pad and the sentiment was created on the pc.  The lace and flowers (which I coloured with my promarkers) are from tabby crafts and the heart pins were from ebay.  The image was cut out with my square nesties and the adhesive stones were a birthday pressie from Clare. 

Well it’s going to take me longer to list the challenges (and link them) than write my post………so here goes:

Pile it on challenge – no more winter colours

ABC challenge – new (my papers)

Passion for Promarkers #33 – DT card

Hello and welcome to the first challenge of 2010 over at passion for promarkers. Our challenge this week has been set by Michele and she has given us a gorgeous sketch to use but would also like to incorporate the theme of love. This is the sketch:

and here is my card:

The image is my brand new stamp from sugar nellie called ‘Elise‘ and I coloured her with the following promarkers:

Dress, Shoes, hair band & heart – Pumpkin, amber, caramel, cerise and magenta

Hair – Tan and caramel

Skin – Ivory, blush and pastel pink

Outline – Ice grey 1

I also added some highlights with a white gel pen.

The papers and choc chip card are all SU and the pink card is from the papermill shop. The flowers are from tabby crafts and the leaves were cut with my MS frond punch. The heart was cut using a template (not sure who its by) and I used my circle nesties to cut out the image. The button and string are from my stash.

Our sponsor this week is Letraset and one lucky winner will receive a 5 pack of promarkers.

The DT have come up with some gorgeous samples, so if you have chance please do go and take a look. I can’t wait to see what you create this week and look forward to visiting your blogs.

Don’t forget to check back later to see if you are one of our lucky winners of the mega Christmas challenge.

I'm also entering my card for the challenge over at a spoonfull of sugar - hearts and papertake weekly - new beginnings (used my new stamp). Thanks for stopping by.

Susie’s sassy challenge #1 – DT card

Today’s the day for the launch of the brand new challenge blog – susie’s sassy challenge!   The challenges will run every two weeks and to start us off we have an amazing prize for you to win.  To be in with a chance to win you have to make a christmas card (so a nice easy challenge to start you off with!).  I am so honoured to be part of the DT and the rest of the team are such a talented bunch :)

Here is a pic of the prize up for grabs:

For my card I used a digi-image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Milly & presents’ and I coloured it with my promarkers.  I used flower soft for the fluffy bits, this is the first time I’ve used it and it looks ok but not as stunning as I thought it would.  I used my kraft card once again from elzybells and the paper was a scrap piece without a name on it.  The decorative edges were cut with my MS zigzag embossed punch and also used my MS arctic snowflake punch.  The sentiment is craftwork cards and I used my SU oval punch to cut the kraft card behind it.  The twine is from tabby crafts.  I hope you have a chance to enter our first challenge and to be in with a chance to win the fantastic prize.  I look forward to seeing what you come up with and visiting your blogs.  Please check out the rest of the DT cards as they are all gorgeous.  Thanks for stopping by today.
