Cupcake birthday

   It is the Aud Sentiments challenge 11th birthday so what better than to have a birthday theme for this fortnight's challenge. The sponsor for the challenge is The Paper Shelter and we were given the image 'Cupcake birthday' with which to play.

   I coloured it using Promarkers and cut it out using a tattered Lace pearl square die. The papers used were free with an old magazine and the patterned cupcake was from an old birthday card. I drew round this and made a second cupcake adding a card candi for the 'cherry' and a peel off sentiment to the icing.

Little friends

   Today sees the start of a fresh Aud Sentiments challenge. It has an anything goes theme and is being sponsored by Polkadoodles.

   I have used their digi stamp called Sunshine delight - little friends and coloured it using Promarkers but using Derwent Coloursoft pencils for the sky and grass. The sentiment was computer generated. The mat and background papers were from a very old paper pad by Lili of the Valley and NitWit Collections. The decoupaged string of daisies was cut using a Tattered Lace flexi frame die and coloured using Promarkers.

Foxy

Ewe and lamb

   

   This month the theme for the Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge is for mum. 

   I have used carnation Crafts May Time dies and downloadable vignettes from their Just Like You collection and backed it onto yellow card.

Dragon with dragonfly

   This image from Lee Holland called Dragon with dragonfly was coloured using Derwent Coloursoft pencils and matted onto green card. The frame was cut using a Tattered Lace die from their South Field Picture Decoupage set.  I also used another die from this set to create the oval shaped card. The sentiment cut using a Tattered Lace die was placed on an oval cut using a Spellbinder die.
