Froggy frog

   I love the image of the frog from Scrapper's Delight  and it reminded me of the story of the princess and the frog and other fairy stories. Before I printed the frog out I added an Aladin's lamp to its hand. I coloured it using promarkers and then fussy cut it out.
   I matted paper printed from My Craft Studio's 'Another Fairyland' CD ROM onto green core'dinations cardstock and white card and then attached the frog to the card using glue gel. Using the same CD ROM I printed out the figure of the girl. After colouring her using Promarkers I cut it out using a Spellbinders classic scalloped oval die and fixed it to the card to form a thought bubble. I used varying sizes of pearls to link this and the frog.
   The sentiment was computer generated and I matted it onto green core'dinations cardstock before attaching it to the card.

   Digi Choosday - colour green and/or nature

Golden retriever

   I was asked to make a card for a friend who likes golden retrievers and I found this image on Cupcakecraftings 'Paws for Thought' volume 2 CD ROM. The papers are also from the same CD ROM and I backed each onto dark green core'dinations cardstock.
    The sentiment is on parchment and attached over the printed designer paper both of which were cut out using a Spellbinders label twenty die. I drew round the die to create the shape for the cardstock. The card candi hide where I attached the parchment to the paper.

St Patrick's day

   There is another challenge beginning at Crafty Cardmakers today the theme of which is go green.
   For the background of my card I used Tattered Lace pearl square dies to cut out a series of frames in two different tones of green. The three largest I arranged with the edges parallel to the edge of a white base card and the next four I attached turned through 45 degrees, in each case alternating the tones.
   The stamped image is a Tatty Twinkles one called 'St. Patrick's Day' and this I coloured using Promarkers before roughly cutting round it and attaching to the card.
   Finally I added a sentiment cut from brown core'dinations cardstock using Tattered Lace dies.

Cross with rose

   We begin a new challenge at Eureka Stamps today and we would like you to use paper piecing.
   I matted paper from Papermania onto pink mirri and then white card. I coloured the cross of digi image number 15601 (Cross with rose) using a Promarker pen and then paper pieced the flower stem and leaves of the rose using printed paper from my stash. After cutting it out I dusted the edges using distress inks and then attached it to the card. I coloured four card candi using a Promarker pen and attached these to the corners of the image.
   I used the Tattered Lace Charisma Rose Corner die to create the rose embellishment, colouring the leaves using Promarkers and paper piecing the flowers.

Boy fishing

   There is a new challenge starting over at Send A Smile 4 Kids today the theme of which is spring colours. It is being sponsored by
Crackerbox Palace who are giving three digs from stamps as their prize
and
Die-Versions who are offering a $15 gift certificate.
   I thought of the crocus and daffodils flowering in my lawn and the bright sunny spells that we have been getting recently. So for my card I matted spotty paper from my stash onto white card and outlined it using black peel off. I'm gradually getting through my stack of peel offs, but I didn't realize just how many I had bought!
   The image 'Fishing boy' is from Crackerbox Palace and I coloured it using Promarkers. I added some loose glitter to the dragonfly's wings but this doesn't show up well in the photo. The happy birthday banner is also from Crackerbox Palace and coloured using Promarkers. I shaped it slightly before attaching to the card using glue gel.
