Passion for promarkers #60 – DT card

Hello everyone, it’s the day after my birthday, which makes me kinda sad ‘cos I had such a good day yesterday.  Thank you for all your wonderful birthday messages – it makes me so happy to be part of this wonderful community of thoughtful and generous people. 

I’m here to share with you my DT card for this week’s passion for promarkers challenge.  This week Julie has set the challenge and her theme is “animals” so we would like to see your animal images, but of course they must be coloured with your promarkers to be eligible for our prize draw.  Here is my card: 

 

Over at PFP we are proud to be offering a prize on the A spoonfull of sugar challenge card drive for Michelle and as our theme was a perfect fit for their free donkey image/sentiments most of the DT have used this image on their cards this week.  It’s amazing how different all our cards look even though we’ve used the same image.  If you haven’t had a chance to pick up the image yet pop over to the ASFOS blog and grab it and of course send a card to Michelle. 

Our sponsor this week is Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a $10.00 voucher to spend in their online store. 

Please pop over and check out all the DT cards, as the team have all created gorgeous samples for your inspiration once again this week.  We appreciate all the lovely comments you leave for us. 

I can enter my card into the following challenges:

Flutterby Wednesday challenge – anything goes

Little red wagon challenge – nestabilities

Cupcake craft challenge #99 – DT card

** This is my second post for today **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

Hello again, I’m back with my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  Our theme this week has been set by Victoria and she would like us to use acetate on our projects.  Now I haven’t used acetate for a very long time and when I eventually found some in my stash I decided to make a shaker easel card.  Here is my card (I apologise for the photos but the acetate was really hard to photograph):

In the next photo the acetate really glares but I wanted to show you the embossing on the acetate a little closer

Some of my “shaker” snowflakes did stick to the foam pads but overall I am really pleased with the final result, especially as I haven’t made a shaker card for years. 

Our sponsor this week is Paper Jewels and the lucky winner will receive a $15.00 gift voucher to spend in their online store.  They have some gorgeous stamps for sale so you will be spoilt for choice. 

The rest of the DT have created some amazing samples once again this week, so why not pop over and take a peek.  If you have a chance please leave them a nice comment, as your comments are really appreciated by all the team.

Stamp with fun #67 – DT card

Before I go into the details of this week’s SWF challenge I am celebrating my birthday today *yay* and my wonderful husband has bought me a new printer *woohoo* which I so desperately needed.  I think I moaned so much about my old printer last week that he finally had enough and he gave it to me a little early so that I could use it for my DT cards this week (bless him).  I will be celebrating my birthday with blog candy on Wednesday so please pop back then for details. 

This week over at stamp with fun challenge our theme is fairies.  We think this will be a very popular theme and we expect to see lots of lovely girly creations.  For my card I used new image (launched the beginning of July) from DigiStamp Boutique.  This is one of the current ‘offer of the month’ and there are 2 more super cute images in this collection available at a very special price for the month of July.  Here is my card:

I don’t know why but my photos came out a little grainy.  My wonderful photography skills at work again lol!

Digi Doodle challenge #14 – GDT card

Wow my week off work is flying by – it’s already Thursday (boohoo).  I’m back to share with you my last GDT card for the digi doodle challenge and our theme is “dots and/or circles”.  Its a simple theme so we expect to see lots of lovely entries again this week.  Now I do have a confession to make – when I made my card and emailed it to Kym I realised that I’d forgotten about the theme (d’oh) but luckily for me I did include some dotty ribbon on my card so it passed phew!  Here is my card:

Sorry the image seems a little “pale” but again my printer wasn’t co-operating.  I used a gorgeous image from the digi doodle shop called “mermaid” and added stickles to her tail for a sparkly effect.  I hope you think the branches look like seaweed or some sort of underwater plant ‘cos that’s the effect I was going for lol!

The lucky winner will receive $10.00 to spend in the Digi Doodle Shop.  You will definitely have no trouble spending it – they have some very gorgeous images to drool over.  

Please check out the rest of the DT creations as they are really stunning.  They are a very talented bunch of ladies and they really appreciate the lovely comments you leave for them.
