Cupcake craft challenge #78 – DT card

Hello again, I’m back with my card for the cupcake craft challenge.  This week’s theme has been chosen by Victoria and it is “keep it simple”.  Now Victoria is an expert at simple and stylish cards, but I find it a little more difficult.  For my card I used a digi image from DigiStamp Boutique called ‘Spencer’ who comes together with a female image called ‘Kitty’ and I think you’ll agree they are sooooo cute.  I coloured Spencer with my promarkers and I wrote his name on his bowl with a fineliner pen (it comes blank on the original).  The paper is BG and is called ‘Isaac’ from the ‘Oh baby boy’ range  and the plain card is SU (chocolate chip).  I used my circle nesties to cut out the image and my MS zigzag embossed border punch for the decorative edge.  The ribbon is also SU (chocolate chip) and the cat charm and brad are from my stash.  Again no sentiment as I’m not sure who it will be for yet :)

Our sponsor this week is Soft Pencil and one lucky winner will receive a $20.00 gift voucher to spend in her online store. 

Please check out the rest of the DT cards as they have all done an amazing job.  I look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing what you create. 

I’m also entering my card into the following challenges:

Crafty cardmakers challenge – digital elements

Digital Tuesday challenge – all about the animals

Creative belli challenge – ribbons

CRAFT challenge – digi colouring

DU2DS challenge – use your punches

Humble pie challenge – dies

Thanks for stopping by today.

Stamp with fun #46 – DT card

  

This week’s stamp with fun challenge is a gorgeous sketch by tina46.  For my card I used a digi image by Mo Manning called ‘Jack & Ginger’ and coloured it with my promarkers.  The lovely papers are BG from the wassail paper pad and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  The heart was punched with an x-cut punch and the gems were a RAK from Clare.  I pierced holes to create the circle and used my black fineliner pen to create some faux stitches.  I also used the fineliner pen around the image, heart and long panel at the bottom.  I haven’t added a sentiment yet but I think it will be an anniversary card for some friends. 

We have a sponsor for this week’s challenge – Kreativart - and one lucky winner will receive this lovely prize:

Please check out the rest of the DT cards as they are all stunning, as usual.  I look forward to visiting your blogs and seeing what you create.  I’ll be back later this morning with my DT card for cupcake craft challenge.  Thanks for stopping by. 

Another catch-up :)

Our theme over at Passion for Promarkers challenge this week is a colour combo. We would like to see your creations using “agean, sky blue and cool aqua”. For my card I used my new pink gem stamp called “ ice skating Mimi” and coloured her with the following promarkers:

Coat – sky blue and agean

Hat, gloves, scarf and skates – agean

Tights – cool aqua

Hair – tan and caramel

Skin – ivory, blush and pastel pink

Ice grey 1 for shading around image

The papers are dovecraft from the winter wonderland 6x6 paper pack and the plain card is from the papermill shop. I also used dovecraft ribbon and snowflake punch! The sentiment was made using the elzybells "everyday greetings’ stamp set and the adhesive pearls are from my stash. Don’t forget you still have until 9am on Tuesday 16th Feb to enter the PFP challenge. Please check out the rest of the DT cards, as they are all stunning. Our sponsor this week is the secret crafter and one lucky winner will receive 6 promarkers on their choice.

HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY!

Here is my second post to show you my DT cards for last week. Today I’m going to show you my card for the cupcake craft challenge, which launched on Monday. You still have the rest of today if you want to enter – so go on get creating :) Our theme is “red and white all over”.

We were sponsored by Sassy Studio Designs and the DT were each offered a digi image to use if we wished.

I decided to use “Sexy Lady (Sexy Sandy)” and made an easel style valentine’s card for my darling hubby.

I apologise for the really awful pics but I used my new camera and should have read the instructions first I think lol!

I coloured the image with my promarkers and used freebie papers from a craft magazine. The plain card is from the papermill shop and the sentiments were created on the pc. The large hearts were cut with my MS lattice heart punch and I used the MS valentine heart border punch. The ribbon is SU and the brad and gems are from my stash.

Of course once again my card fits in with lots of challenges:

I’m back………at last!!

I’m sorry it’s been so long since I last posted but I’ve been having some major issues with my computer.  It caught a nasty virus and had to be wiped clean (a very traumatic and worrying experience!).  Luckily the nice little boy (!) in the computer shop managed to save most of my files so it was just a case of finding all my faves etc on the internet……..no mean feat I can tell you, and I’m still discovering things that I’m missing (and probably will for a long long time!).  I hope you have all been well and keeping warm during this freakishly cold snap we’re having yet again. 

As I wasn’t able to blog my DT cards at the beginning of the week I thought I show you them over the weekend before my new cards are due on Monday and Tuesday. 

The first card I’m showing you today is my DT card for the stamp with fun challenge:

 

Our theme was ‘hearts’ and our sponsor was Digital Delights by Louby Loo and the DT were lucky enough to use one of their digital images if they liked. 

I chose to use ‘Valentine Bonnie’ and I coloured her with my promarkers, adding stickles to her bows and hearts.  The papers are a combination of freebie magazine paper and an off cut from my stash.  The red card is from the papermill shop and the image was cut out with my circle nesties.  I used my MS valentine heart border punch and the adhesive stones were a RAK from Clare.  The ribbon is from fantastic ribbons and the sentiment is a stamp by Anita’s.  The heart brad is from my stash.

Please check out the rest of the DT cards as they are all stunning.  Don’t forget you still have time to enter as the new challenge launches on Monday. 

My card fits in with quite a few challenges this week (as it’s the week of lurve) so here goes:

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:

ABC challenge – new (my papers)

Allsorts challenge #37

The current Allsorts challenge has a fab sketch to follow.  They are also running a DT call, so if you are interested check out all the details on their blog.   For my card I used a new digi image from the greeting farm called ‘rain’ and coloured her with my promarkers.  The dotty paper is imaginisce and the plain card is from the papermill shop.  I ran the yellow card through the cuttlebug using the swiss dots embossing folder.  The sentiment is elzybells and the adhesive stones are trimcraft.  The flowers were cut with my medium ek success retro flower punch and the buttons are from my stash.  I liked the clean and simple style of the sketch so pretty much left it as it was.  I hope you are having a good Wednesday, can’t believe how fast this week is going!!  Thanks for stopping by.
