Star tag

I coloured it using Promarkers and matted it onto a piece of dark purple oval card, although in the photo everything seems to have become more blue!

Taking it easy

   Today there is a new challenge at Crafty Cardmarkers the theme of which is masculine.
   I have used a Lili of the Valley stamp called Take it easy and coloured it using Promarkers. Rather than cut it out in the usual rectangular shape I decided to use a triangular shape to add to the matting and layering. I then added a sentiment.

Dinosaur

   This month's Dragonfly Dreams challenge is being sponsored by

and has the theme  of 'for a man or boy'.

   I have used the digi called Tilly Dinosaur and after cutting it out using a pearl square Tattered Lace die coloured it using Promarkers. I used a smaller version of the same die again colouring the edges using a Promarker pen for the base of my sentiment which was cut from green card using a Tattered Lace die.

Hammock days

   This month's theme for the Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge is 'for teens'.
   This digi from The Paper Shelter called Hammock days reminds me of my step daughters when they were teenagers and basking in the sun without a care in the world.
   After colouring it using Promarkers I matted it onto green card. The design paper was printed using a CD ROM (I cannot remember the name) onto shimmering paper and was also matted onto green card before matting it onto white. I coloured the peel off sentiment using a permanent marker and I added a bow made using two pieces of satin ribbon.
