Flower crescent

    I found a narrow circular shaped ring in my stash so decided to make use of it on this card which uses downloadable vignettes and the matching dies from Carnation Crafts From the heart collection, bending the leaves so that they followed the circle.

Dragon and bluebells

    Today sees the start of a new challenge at Aud Sentiments. The theme is spring and the challenge is being sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps.

    About the middle of spring the bluebells in my garden and local woods start making an appearance so I decided to use this sweet digi from Lee Holland called 'Dragon smelling bluebells' - not at all influenced by my daughter who is mad about dragons and dinosaurs! - and coloured it using Promarkers. I used dies from various companies to cut out the diamond shapes. The surrounding bluebells were cut using Carnation Crafts bluebells die and downloadable vignettes and adding some additional colour to the leaves using Promarkers so that they matched those in my image.

Sleeping dragon

    This card is for my step daughter who is expecting a daughter shortly. The digi from Lee Holland called 'sleeping blossom dragon' was coloured using Chameleon pens and Promarkers. I used a Tattered Lace velvet ruffle oval die to cut the pale pink card and snipped out the central oval to form a frame for the image and used a ball tool to give the ruffles some shape. Finally I added a little bow and some pearls.

Piggy back

   The digi image on this card is from All Dressed Up. It is called 'Piggy back' and I have coloured it using Promarkers. The spotty background paper is from an old paper pad free with a magazine and has been in my stash for several years. I matted and layered it onto black and then cream card. The bow is also made from ribbon which came from an old magazine. The sentiment was cut from black card using a Tattered Lace die and matted onto cream card.

Seal family

    Today sees a fresh Aud Sentiments challenge which is being sponsored by Oddball Art and has the theme of anything goes.

   I have used digis from their Kawaii Seals set and coloured the seals using Promarkers. The backdrop was printed using a My Craft Studio CD ROM called The Golden Years from A Man's Point of View but using Promarkers to create the foreground rock. I matted this onto pale blue mottled card. The dark grey frame was cut using a die from Tattered Lace's Daisy Hill picture decoupage set. I cut a narrow black square frame and glued this behind the diamond cut work before attaching the frame to the card using foam pads.

Easter bunny

   The new Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge begins today with the theme of Easter or spring.

   I used a Di's Digi Stamp called Easter bunnies wagon and after colouring it using Promarkers fussy cut it and attached it to the card so that it walked along the organza ribbon. The sentiment was cut using a Tattered Lace die.
