Daring Card Makers Challenge - Mermaids

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Mermaids

I've used a Little Miss Muffet digi stamp I found pre printed in my stash, coloured with Promarkers and liquid pearls.  The papers are from a bargain 6x6 pack I found in my stash plus I delved deeper and found some Basic Grey fibres that were gifted to me and teamed it with some thin lavender ribbon.

I've hand written the sentiment, added liquid pearl dots around the edge of the card and image plus softened it a little with heart vellum die cuts around the image.  Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 20 - Bugaboo

 It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo and I've made a DL sized card using Gus Birthday - Collect Wrinkles, coloured with Promarkers and I've used some papers I've had languishing in my stash for an age.  And added some letter die cuts using offcuts of white card from a previous project.

Good luck with the challenge!

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 436 - Dr Digi

 It's Wednesday so time for a new I ❤ Promarkers challenge!  The theme this fortnight is

Anything Goes

And we are sponsored by Dr Digi and I've used Right Shed Fred, coloured with Promarkers with some cloud paper from my stash (I think its Polkadoodles), a fence die cut (cut into two!) I found in my stash and I've created the grass myself.  Sentiment is a miss-mash of a few acrylic stamps from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!

Retirement Card: Green Fingers and Thumbs

Another instalment of the Retirement card, this page uses Green Fingers and Thumbs, also from Dr Digi.  Coloured with Promarkers plus all elements are from my stash.  I'd rather like a pair of pink wellies!  Last page next week!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Tropical Paradise

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Tropical Paradise

I've used a From The Heart Stamps image that is sadly no longer available, coloured with Promarkers.  I found some papers in my stash that matched the colour scheme and added some embroidery thread and tied a star fish charm to it.  

Kept it purposely clean and simple; good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 19 - StarJamLines

 It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Star Jam Lines and I've used the rather cute Newborn Bear, coloured with Promarkers.  I can't just make one new baby card, so made one for a boy and one for a girl using offcuts of papers from my stash and ribbons.

The sentiments have been computer generated and I've embellished with liquid pearls and half pearls also from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Summer With Moving Part

It's time for a new Polkadoodle challenge and this week the theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make something summery with a moving part.  I've used Agnes Elephant Scooter, coloured with Promarkers and a bit of glitter glue.  The sliding bit was made (after rather too much thought) and quite pleased it works pretty well!

Good luck with the challenge!

Retirement Card: Faldaree Deirdery Dunderton

And here is the third page in the acrylic album retirement card, featuring Faldaree Deirdery Dunderton from Dr Digi.  Coloured with Promarkers and kept largely to the colour scheme of the papers.  Papers, liquid pearls and ribbon from my stash.  Another page next week!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Proud As A Peacock

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week is

Proud As A Peacock

I've made a slimline card using a stamped image I got in a swop a long long time ago.  It's been coloured with watercolour paints and I've added it to the card base.  I've stamped the sentiment with an acrylic stamp from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 18 - Polkadoodles

 It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Polkadoodles and I've used this fab Winnie image - this card was made for a work colleague who'd been promoted and was moving to a new team (and yes, she has a cup with her initial on!)  Papers are all from my stash and I've added some die cut letters from kraft card.  Image has been coloured with Promarkers.

Charm and embroidery thread are from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 435 - Paper Nest Dolls

It's Wednesday so time for a new I ❤ Promarkers challenge!  The theme this fortnight is

Anything Goes

And we are sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls and I've been able to use the cute Gone Fishing digi, coloured with Promarkers and I've managed to use up some oddments of printed papers that I've had in my stash for years!  These are Echo Park, Splash.  I've added some brads also from my stash, handwrote the tag sentiment and added some waxed cord to finish.

Good luck with the challenge!

Retirement Card: Bath Time Deirdery

Here is the second page in the retirement card I made for a colleague, this time featuring Bath Time Deridery from Dr Digi which is probably my most favourite Dr Digi image!  I've coloured with Promarkers, liquid pearls on the hair cap and glitter glue.  

Papers are from my stash and are from a 12x12 pack.  Handwritten sentiment tag and everything else also from my stash.  Another page next week!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Inspirational Elemental

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme as this is the first Friday of the month, is an inspirational elemental picture - you need to use at least 3 elements from the picture below (colour counts as one):

I've used a rather cute Jellypark image that is sadly no longer available, coloured with Promarkers plus lots of fine glitter on the wings. I've used the image of the bee, the colours, wording, heart and the flower.

Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Animals With A Flap or Anything Goes

It's time for a new Polkadoodle challenge and this week the theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make something with an animal and a flap, so here I present Fuzzpea as my animal (I know, stretching it a little but I already had it printed in my stash!) and coloured with Promarkers and a touch of sparkly glitter on her horns.  I've used the pink gingham paper from Butterfly Daisy 6x6 papers - sticking them on the reverse of the aperture I've made.

Sentiment stamp is from Perfect Wishes clear acrylic stamp set.  A bit of doodling with a black fineliner pen and my card is complete!  Good luck with the challenge

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 17 - Dr Digi

 It's time for a new Colour Crazy Challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Dr Digi and I've used Bob's Balloons, coloured with Promarkers plus two word die cuts using scraps of card from my stash.  The papers are positively ancient and they are all offcuts so I've had to be careful where they were placed to hide the joins!

Good luck with the challenge!

Retirement Card: Hangover Hannah

I was asked to make a retirement card for a work colleague who I've worked with for some years - this is the first page using an acrylic album I bought quite some time ago (and knew it would come in handy one day!) plus some 12x12 papers, liquid pearl dots and lilac ribbon.  I've kept it fairly simple and hand wrote the tag sentiments.  I've used Hangover Hannah from Dr Digi, and coloured her with Promarkers in the same colour scheme as the papers.
