Doggie in the window

   The Crafty Cardmakers challenge beginning today would like you to add a critter.
I cut an aperture in pale pink card and matted a scrap of design paper which had been printed using a My Craft Studio CD ROM behind it before matting and layering it onto deeper pink card and then white card. The dog was cut from a charisma download using the Tattered lace die Mime the Maltese and I attached behind  the aperture. Using a charisma download again I cut out the window using the Tattered Lace die floral drapery. The sentiment was from this same die set.

Duck border

   It is time for a new challenge at QKR Stampede where the theme is always anything goes.
   I have used the Eureka Stamps digi duck border and coloured it using Promarkers. After attaching it to the centre of the green card matted onto white I added two strips cut using the Tattered Lace Anne border die. Using the accompaning Anne die I created the backgound for my peel off sentiment.

Relaxing

   This card using the digi 'relaxing' was made as part of the DT team inspiration for the QKR Stampede challenge that starts today.
   I began by matting the striped paper onto green card and wrapping grey satin ribbon round this before matting the combination onto white card. After colouring the koala using Promarkers I used Distress Ink round the edge and then matted it onto a Tattered Lace pearl circle die cut. I positioned a similar smaller circle behind it and to this I added a peel off sentiment. Finally I added a bow to the ribbon strip.

Deers

These digis (deer 1, deer 2, wall) from Scrapper's Delight reminded me of them.

Birthday elephant

   This month's challenge at Dragonfly Dreams is being sponsored by

and the theme is happy birthday.

   I formed a z-fold card from white card as the base for this. 

   The design paper is from my stash but I cannot remember which CD ROM I used to print it and is matted onto violet card. 

   The image coloured using Promarkers is called birthday elephant and the sentiment is computer generated and coloured. Before mating the image onto green card I ran a Promarker pen around the edges. Finally I added pearls to two of the corners of the design.
