4 in 1 challenge card!

Wow I haven’t done this for a while – my card fits in with 4 challenges woohoo!  The pollycraft challenge is asking for ‘furry friends (animals)’, the pile it on challenge is ‘birthday’, the ABC challenge is ‘d for die-cuts’ and the allsorts challenge is ‘something for the boys’.  I used my new WOJ image called ‘bruno bear with cupcake’ and coloured him with my promarkers.  The papers are all DCWV from ‘the stack’ and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The punched edge was done with my martha stewart embossed zigzag punch.  The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with SU oval punches.  The adhesive stones are PM. 

The weather here has been glorious today and it’s supposed to be nice for 10 days (believe that when it happens) – I hope it’s been nice with you too.  My boys are now back into the swing of being in school and hating every minute of it haha!  My eldest son is now beginning his final year before his GCSE’s and I hope he will knuckle down to hard work, although he did really well this year and got a C in maths and a B in science – not too bad for a year early. 

Thanks for stopping by today. 

 

Passion for Promarkers #16 – DT card

This week’s challenge at Passion for Promarkers is ‘sandstone and blue pearl’ and has been chosen by our guest designer Caroline.  We are lucky to be sponsored this week by Sally-Ann at DigiStamp Boutique and the DT were able to choose one of her fab digi images to use on our samples. 

I decided to use a new image, which has just been launched, called ‘Becky’.  There are three different images available individually as well as in a set and the set is the current ‘special offer of the month’ – check out the blog for more details.  I coloured the image with the following promarkers:

Hair and trousers – sandstone

Top, bows in hair and flowers – blue pearl

Grass and leaves – meadow green & apple

Skin – ivory, blush and pastel pink

Butterfly and flower centres – lemon

I also used a white gel pen for highlights and added stickles to the butterfly and flower centres.

The blue paper is doodlebug and the brown paper is SU.  I used my martha stewart doily lace punch on the edge of the image panel and the martha stewart embossed zigzag punch on the edge of the brown paper.   The flowers were cut with my x-cut punch and the ric-rac ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment is craftwork cards and was cut out with my SU oval punches.  The adhesive pearls are kaisercraft.  I look forward to visiting all your blogs and can’t wait to see your gorgeous creations.  Thanks for stopping by today.

Cupcake craft challenge #56 – DT card

This week at the cupcake craft challenge our theme is ‘red, white & blue’.  I decided to use this cute digi image from the greeting farm called ‘birthday boy ian’ but even though he is supposed to be opening his birthday presents I thought he would look just as cute on a christmas card opening his christmas presents!  I coloured the image with my promarkers and cut it out with my circle nesties.  The paper is doodlebug and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The red piece of card was put through the CB with my swiss dots embossing folder and the decorative edge was cut with my fiskars border punch.  The sentiment was a freebie from a craft magazine and was cut out with my SU oval punches.  The adhesives stones are PM and the snowflakes were a RAK. 

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a $20 Gift Voucher.  I hope you will enjoy this week’s challenge and look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing your gorgeous ‘red, white & blue’ creations. Thanks for stopping by.

Dutch dare challenge #59

 

This week’s challenge over at dutch dare is a sketch and this is my entry.  I had to make an anniversary card for my sister-in-law & her husband and I thought this digital image by the greeting farm was perfect.  I coloured the image with my promarkers adding highlights with a white gel pen.  The paper is also digital (see my post here for the link to buy) and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The purple flower is from my stash and the black flower was punched with my ek success medium retro flower punch.  The adhesive stones are PM and the ribbon is anita’s.  The sentiment was created on the pc and cut out with SU oval punches.   I hope you’ve all enjoyed the dry, mild weather we’ve had this weekend, fingers crossed that it lasts a little longer!  Thanks for stopping by today.

Anyone for Anya? #2

This is my late entry for the second challenge over at anyone for anya?, which this week was a sketch.  I used the gorgeous GF image and coloured it with my promarkers.  The papers are all DCWV from the wedding stack and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  The flower was made using EK success large, medium and small retro flower punches and I snipped into the petals to make a different looking flower (inspiration from Michele) and added adhesive pearls by kanban.  I didn’t fuss with it too much as I wanted the wording on the papers to be seen.  Thanks for stopping by today. 

Wow what a week!

I just wanted to pop on and say sorry that I haven't been around very much this week. I've had a busy week with card orders and organising school uniforms etc. but rest assured I have lots of show you over the next few days and I will be back later with a card. I must apologise to everyone that has given me awards over the last few months :( I've got them all safely tucked away but just haven't had a chance to add them to my blog - I will also be rectifying this over the next few days too. Stayed tuned....... I'll be back!

Passion for Promarkers #15 – DT card

 

Wow we are already at week 15 over at passion for promarkers, I can’t believe where the weeks are going.  This week’s challenge has been chosen by Caryn and she has asked us for ‘girly and glittery’ creations but we can use any colour promarkers (great for everyone who hasn’t got all the colours yet). 

Our sponsor this week is the secret crafter and the lucky winner will receive 6 promarkers of their choice. 

For my card I used a digi image from sassy design studio and coloured her with the following promarkers:

Skin – ivory and blush

Dress & shoes – carmine and magenta

Hair – canary, yellow and mustard

Cake – spice, terracotta and pastel pink

Lips – red

Outline of image – cool grey 1

I also used a white gel pen for highlights and added stickles to the frosting of the cupcake.

The gorgeous paper is all BG from the lemonade paper pad and the plain cs is from the papermill shop.  I used my circle nesties to cut out the image and my ek success medium and small retro flower punches for the flowers (I added a dot of stickles to the centres).  The sentiment is stamping bella and this was cut out with my SU oval punches.  The stunning adhesives gems were a birthday present from my welsh pal Clare (thanks hun).  I used the sketch for this week’s challenge (#10) at sunday sketch and stamp, so will also be entering my card there.  I hope you enjoy this week’s challenge and can’t wait to visit your blogs and see your lovely creations.  Thanks for stopping by today.
