Pile It On #9/Papertake challenge

I hope you’re all enjoying the glorious weather we having at the moment.  My card is lovely and summery today, just perfect for papertake challenge this week which is ‘four seasons’.  I’m also entering my card for the pile it on challenge which is ‘at least 3 flowers’.  I stamped my new elzybells image called ‘sunflower fun’ and coloured her with promarkers.  The large sunflower is also an elzybells image and was stamped three times and coloured with promarkers.  The gingham paper is craft creations and the flowery paper is by imagination project.  The plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The sentiment is stampendous and I used my SU oval punches to cut it out.   Enjoy the weekend, thanks for stopping by today. 

Digital Tuesday #18/ASFOS #63

This card is my entry for this week’s digital tuesday challenge which is ‘bling’ and also the a spoonfull of sugar challenge which is ‘floral fantasy’.  I made this card a little while ago for a friend at work to give to her friend who was a teacher and obviously was retiring.  Now you may wonder why the zebra is on there but that was a personal request and is a private job between the two friends!!  Anyway onto the card.  I used an image by the greeting farm called ‘teacher anya’ and coloured her with my promarkers.  I cut out the apple twice and added the second apple with a foam pad for a 3d effect.  The school books image is a freebie digital image from lindsay weirich and I again coloured the image with my promarkers.  The zebra was a freebie image that I found on google and I just coloured the grass in!  The gorgeous paper is cosmo cricket and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The flowers were cut with the large and medium retro flower punches and the bling is supplied with brads by PM.  The sentiment was created on the pc (and again was a personal request by the lady that ordered the card).  The card size is an A4 (A3 folded in half) although it’s difficult to tell in the pic.  Thanks for stopping by today and for all the lovely comments and interest in my candy.  Keep spreading the word lol! 

Passion for Promarkers #11 – DT card

   

Wow the weeks are just flying by, but we are having fun too, so that’s ok!!  This week over at passion for promarkers the lovely Michele has given us a sketch to use but we can use any colours we like *yay* (great for all you peeps that don’t have all the colours yet). 

For my card this week I have used a sugar nellie gorjuss girl image called ‘poppy fields’ and coloured her with the following promarkers:

Dress & tights – ruby

Boots & tights – marsh green, olive green, cool grey 2

Hair – cinnamon, cocoa and henna

Skin – Ivory, blush & pastel pink

Flowers – olive green and ruby

I also outlined the image with cool grey 1

The beautiful papers are all BG from the wassail paper pad (again new out of my birthday money) and the sentiment is by whiff of joy.  The white and green flowers are from ikea and I removed the plastic centre piece and the red flowers are punched out of the paper with my ek success small retro flower punch.  The brads are from my stash and the adhesive pearls are PM and were a birthday pressie from Sally-Ann (thanks hun). 

Our sponsor this week is Wendy at Secret Crafter and the prize is 6 promarker pens (winner can choose their own colours).  Don’t forget to check out the DT cards, they’ve all done a wonderful job with Michele’s sketch.  I’m looking forward to seeing all your fab creations.  I am also entering this card into the one stop craft challenge as their theme this week is ‘swirls and pearls’ (I have swirly paper and adhesive pearls).  Thanks for stopping by today.

Cupcake craft challenge #51 – DT card

This week over at the cupcake craft challenge the theme is ‘at the beach’ and this was chosen by the talented Sandy.  I decided to use a digi-image by cc designs called ‘surfer emma’ and coloured her with my promarkers.  The papers are all DCWV from ‘the stack’ and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  I used my new circle scallop nestie (which I got out of my birthday money) to go with my circle nestie and brads from my stash.  The shell charm was a RAK from my fellow PFP DT chum Helen.  This card also qualifies for the Friday Sketchers challenge this week as I used their sketch.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Penny black challenge #60

I’m on the ball today!! This is my entry for today’s new challenge over at penny black which is ‘summer’. I know it’s an anniversary card but the image and colour combo screams summer to me, so hope it will be ok. The PB image was a RAK and I coloured it with my promarkers adding stickles to the centre of the flower. The dotty paper was a freebie from a craft magazine and the check paper is DCWV from the nana’s nursery paper pad. The plain cs is from the papermill shop and the heart pins are from ebay. The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment was created on the pc. The sketch was from a challenge from last week but cannot for the life of me remember which one (it’s too late to enter it now anyway ha ha). Thanks for stopping by today and guess what – it’s still raining here!!

Sketch Saturday #61

This is my card for this week’s sketch saturday challenge, better late than never!  I used a download from Lily Boo’s Boutique from a set called ‘boys and their toys’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  The papers are by DCWV from ‘the stack’ (yes again lol!) and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The ribbon is Anita’s and the buttons are from my stash.  The stamped sentiment is by elusive images and the brother gel sticker is from a pack by creative imaginations (my printer was out of ink at the time so couldn’t print out a sentiment grr….)  I really enjoyed using the sketch this week and will be using it again I’m sure.  Thanks for stopping by today.
