Cat and dog

   This using card was made using Giordano Studio stamps 'With Love' from Joanna Sheen. They were coloured using Promarkers and then the design was matted and layered onto blue mirri and then white card. The sentiment  was a peel off which I coloured.

Loving message

   For this challenge at Crafty Cardmakers and More we would like to see stripes.
   I matted and layered some striped paper I had in my stash onto pink paper and white card. Another piece of striped paper was also matted onto the pink paper and then attached horizontally to the card.    My images are from the Tatty Twinkles stamp set called 'Message' and I coloured them all using Promarkers. I cut out the main image leaving a narrow margin of white around it because I thought this would make it stand out from the background a little more. I shaped it slightly before attaching it to the card using glue gel. The butterfly was also fixed to the card using glue gel. I palced the sentiment message just behind the envelope.

Birthday daisies

   Another week and another challenge at Eureka Stamps. The challenge this week is to make a birthday card. I have used digis 9201 (Daisy bouquet) and 15003 (Have a sunshine day) to make a feminine birthday card.
   I coloured the image using Promarkers, cut it out using a Spellbinders scalloped oval die, brushed the edges with distress ink and then matted onto card which I had cut out by hand having drawn round the die. The sentiment was dealt with in the same way, although I did not brush the edges of this. I then added some glitter to the flowers.
   The background paper is from Papermania and was shaped by drawing around the edge of the scalloped white card onto which I matted it.

Punches and/or dies

   It's the third Saturday in the month and another challenge over at Send A Smile 4 Kids. The theme for this challenge is 'punches and/or dies' and there are three very generous sponsors:-
   Flat Friends Boutique  (6 digis),  The Paper Shelter (3 digis) and Sassy Studios (4 digis).

   For my first card I used Bathtime from The Paper Shelter. After colouring it using Promarkers I matted it onto black card. I had some paper which I had printed off a few years ago in my stash and I used this for the background of the card. The flying birds were cut from Core'dinations cardstock using a Tattered Lace die. I also used tattered Lace dies to cut the sentiment from black card.

   I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
   ABC - D is for die cuts
   Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - anything goes
   Inspiration Destination - anything goes
   Addicted to Stamps and More - make your mark
   Fantastic Tuesday - anything goes with the twist use a die
   A Gem of a Challenge - children's playtime

   My second card uses the digi beach time from Flat Friends Boutique and is again coloured using Promarkers. I decided to use different textures in this card. I have used Papermania paper for the sky, shimmering paper for the sea ( this was cut using a Spellbinders long classic rectangle die and layered) and core'dinations cardstock for the sand. The latter was torn to create the water's edge and sanded. The sun was cut using a circular die from gold mirri card. I layered all the pieces together and then cut them as a whole into a rectangular shape which I then matted and layered onto black and then white card. Finally I added some transfer letters to form a wavy 'Have Fun'. The coloured image was shaped slightly and attached using glue gel.

   I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
   Simon Says Stamp Wednesday - add a little texture
   Simon Says Stamp Monday - a piece of paradise
   Clear It Out - theme is holiday & stash is gold or yellow things (sun and beach)

Ice Skaters

   Today we begin a new challenge at Creative Corner, the theme of which is 'Winter fun'.
   I matted some pink designer paper I had lying around in my stash onto grey card and wrapped two rows of navy organza ribbon round it. I then matted this onto white card. I coloured the image, skating friends, from Lili of the Valley using Promarkers and matted it onto navy core'dinations cardstock which I had previously sprayed with sparkle. After attaching it to the card I attached a bow and words which I had cut out using Tattered Lace dies.

   I wish to enter this into the following challenges:
   In The Pink - cute

   Dream Valley - favourite colour combo (pink, navy & grey)

Birds of a feather

   The theme for this week's challenge at Eureka Stamps is 'Birds of a feather'. I have used digi numbers 28506 (Bunch of chicks) and 14507 (From all of us) to create my card.
   I coloured the image using Promarkers and cut it out using a Spellbinders label 10 die. Keeping it in the die I rub distress ink around the edges. I then drew round the die on yellow card, cut it out and matted the coloured image onto it. I applied flower soft to one of the chicks and added a card beak to it.
   I scored and folded cream card to form an easel card and matted and layered pale yellow card and paper from Papermania onto the base of the easel. I cut out the sentiment, distressed the edges using distress ink, matted it onto yellow card and attached it to the card using foam pads to form the easel stop.
   I coloured two lengths of organza ribbon using Promarkers, wrapped them round the lower half of the easel and tied them together, afterwhich I attached the image. Finally I tied four pieces of ribbon together and attached these to the corner edge of the easel stop.

   I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

Senior love

   The challenge over at Crafty Cardmakers and More this time has the theme love. I thought what better than the love between two of the older generation and made this anniversary card.
   The image called 'Flirty Seniors' is from Make it Crafty. I stamped it onto watercolour card but coloured it using Promarkers. It wasn't so easy to blend the inks as on the usual card that I use but it seemed to work as long as I was careful at the edges of each section. I then matted it onto black core'dinations cardstock, wrapped ribbon round two corners and then matted onto cream card. The words were cut from deep red core'dinatios cardstock using tattered Lace dies.

   I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
   Without Words - Je t'aime
   Penny Black and More - anything goes except a digi
