Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 18 - Di's Digi's

There is a new Colour Crazy Challenge and this week we are sponsored by Di's Digi's and the theme, as always is

Anything Goes

I've used both images that were provided by the generous sponsor, first one is Let's Eat Ted's Cake which I've coloured with Promarkers.  The papers I found in my stash when I was having a big tidy up and they come from a very old Kirsty Wiseman cd Patti Picklicous.  The chocolate brown ribbon is from my stash and I've lightly distressed the edges of the papers.

This is MP3 Mike who has also been coloured with Promarkers and the papers are from the same cd - I had to be clever with all the bits as I didn't have enough so some joins going on!

Colour Crazy Challenge Week 40 - Di's Digi's and Scrap N Dipity

Welcome to a new Colour Crazy Challenge!  The theme for the fortnight is as always:

Anything Goes

We are sponsored by Di's Digi's and Scrap N Dipity who generously provided the DT with images to play with.  The first one is from Di's Digi's - Football Bench and I've coloured with Promarkers plus watercolour pencils for the background.  I've handwritten the sentiment and added X Cut stars from papers I found in my stash.

And I also got to use an image from Scrap N Dipity - Little Super Hero Boy which I've also coloured with Promarkers and then added to the background (actually wallpaper) and I made the Clearly Besotted die cut sentiments by cutting up various words and piecing them together, except the birthday one which is an actual full die cut!

Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Colour Crazy Challenge Week 35 - Di's Digis and Crafty Sentiments

This week over at the Colour Crazy challenge we have two wonderful sponsors who each gave the DT images to work with!  The challenge theme as always is:

Anything Goes

The first sponsor is Di's Digi's and I've used Jungle Shelf, coloured with Promarkers and added to the card with foam pads so it gives some depth.  I've added embroidery thread over the banner plus the three little bows.  The number one is a wooden die cut which I've added lots of glitter glue over the top (I primed it first by painting with white acrylic paint).  The ribbons are from my stash.

I'd like to enter the following:

As You Like It:  Fur of Feathers (I like both but could not resist this cute image!)
Crafty Creations:  Anything Goes
Crafty Gals:  Anything Goes
Incy Wincy Designs:  Go Wild

The second sponsor is Crafty Sentiments and I used both images we were given.  The first one is called Relaxing and I've coloured her with Promarkers, used two different Spellbinder dies to cut her out and layer onto.  The sentiment has been handwritten and added to a Sizzix die tag.  The papers have been printed from a Funky Hand cd - now retired that I had in my stash.  Ribbon and half pearls also from my stash.

I'd like to enter the following:

Cute Card Thursday:  Too Cute
Southern Girls:  Retro Challenge:  Smash Your Stash
Tic Tac Toe:  Middle Centre (Patterned Paper / Flower / Colouring)
Passion For Promarkers:  Digital (I've used papers and image)

And the second image I've used from Crafty Sentiments is Henry Why Not and he has also been coloured with Promarkers.  Papers are Papermania Colossal Paper pack 6x6 For Him.  I've added X Cut arrow die cuts from scrap card in my stash.  I've hand written the sentiment.

Good luck with the challenge!

Not An Easel Card!

I'm just about making the Sweet Sketch Wednesday challenge in time this week. Something to do with faffing around too much and not making a decision! I've been asked to make some Dedication cards for Sunday, and this is one of them:

I've used a Di's Digi image, coloured with Promarkers and a little glitter glue plus half pearls, prima flowers and a rosebud from my stash. The sentiment is computer generated and the papers are from Nana's Nursery 8x8 stack which I bought half price in the January sales.

And although you can't really see it, I've used a Martha Stewart punch for the panel down the centre. The ribbon in real life is a really good match with the papers - I blame the lighting in the kitchen for the bad colour! And it follows the Sweet Sketch Wednesday:


Got a few more Dedication cards to show over the next few days so stay tuned!

• Papers: DCWV Nana's Nursery
• Everything else: My stash
  

Ah, Cute!

This will be the final post for me today - honest! I'm just trying to catch up on a lost Saturday as I had a bad headache and then yesterday I was at an outdoor craft fair all day (yes, outdoors in this weather! Actually it was in a heated gazebo, but still outside!)

This card fits nicely with the Cute Card Thursday challenge which asks for:

The Blues

I've used papers from Funky Hand - Blue Christmas download plus some plain silver and blue card from my stash. I've added an embossed with Swiss Dots layer of vellum which I've rounded the corners and added a dotted border too.


The ribbon I found in my stash and the sentiment is computer generated. The image is from Di's Digi Downloads and I've coloured it with Promarkers plus added liquid pearls for the snowflakes.

Now that the Craft Fair is over and all my Christmas card orders are completed I now don't need to worry too much about making Christmas cards! It's a good feeling!!

• Backing papers: Blue Christmas download from Funky Hand
• Image: Di's Digi Downloads, coloured with Promarkers
• Sentiment: Computer generated
• Dies: Cuttlebug Swiss Dots embossing folder

November Blog Hop

It's the first Monday of the month so its time for another Digi Blog Hop! All you have to do is follow the hop - you can start at any point, but it makes it easier if you start at the beginning! The beginning is at the Digi Blog Hop Blog and if you've come to me from there, then you are on the right track!
If you've been following the Hops for the last few months, you know that the Design Team will be showcasing the images that you can win - all for leaving a comment on each of our blogs, collecting the letters and going back to the start and leaving the winning word! Really easy and simple!

I've used the two images that form part of the winning bundle from Digi Sparkle. If you've not heard of Digi Sparkle or seen Heathers images before, then you are in for a treat! Lovely images, very good value for money (upto 6 images on a sheet for 99p!!) and a dream to colour!

The Design Team were given both these sheep images and with sentiments too. I've used my own for the single sheep (handwritten, badly!) but you can see just how lovely they are! The details for the flock of sheep card can be found here, and I've used papers from Funky Daze for the Birthday sheep along with ribbons from Fantastic Ribbons.

And the next one I can show is an image from Di's Digi Downloads. Again, I've coloured the image with Promarkers and have added a bit of glitter glue. More about this card can be found here.


Oh, and before I go, the letter you need to collect from me is

U

Keep it safe and now you need to hop onto Adriana who will show you more images and also provide another letter!

Good luck and don't forget to leave me a comment!!

Slowly Getting There!

I've had quite a good weekend for crafting - managed to get ahead of myself and coloured some images and feel like I'm starting to make a dent in the almost empty box of Christmas cards!

I've used the sketch from Papertake Weekly for this card:


And I've used an image that will be available as part of The Blog Hop in November - there is just about time to enter the October challenge if you are quick! Click here for more details! The image is from Di's Digi Downloads and I've coloured it with Promarkers and glitter glue.

The sentiments are from two sets of acrylic Studio G stamps. The printed papers are Papermania 6x6 A Wonderful Christmas Time stack plus an off cut of burgundy from my stash. Amazing how I seem to have plain matching card stock for almost anything! Mind you, the size of the 'box' is fairly cavernous!!

Despite the sun shining all day, this card is not showing quite as bright and vibrant as it is in real life. I think its the blue cast we now get as its practically winter.
