Mum 70 - Part 8

And here is the very last page for my Mum's Birthday card and the letter Y as in SEVENTY and its Gladys Winterbottom, coloured in Promarkers and glossy accents on her glasses.

I cut the number 70 from card and then covered with some really ancient papers from my stash - Papermania - Retro Floral 12x12 papers which I've pieced together so I can use as much as I can.  Edges dotted with liquid pearls.  The smaller letter Y is also covered with papers from the same collection.  I've handwritten the vellum tag and created a bow with some paper ribbon.

Let's Go 3D

I've made two gift bags using up some of the 12x12 double sided papers I have which I've had for an absolute age!  I kind of made it up as I went along although I did have a look on the internet for inspiration!  I've added oddments of ribbon for handles plus extra die cuts and bits from my stash

You always need gift bags right?!  Good luck with the challenge!

The sentiment came with the digi stamp set and I've added a few half pearls to finish.  Good luck with the challenge!

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 413 - Digi Doodle Studio

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

Embellishments

And we are sponsored by Digi Doodle Studio and I've used Caliope's Cupcake and coloured it with Promarkers.  I found some old papers in my stash - these are from Funky Hand are are no longer available and I used the many half pearls I have in my stash to match the colour scheme!  I found a small oddment of vellum too and used this - you can't see the gap underneath the image!

I found the sentiment as I'd stamped it a while ago and not used it.  The cupcake has been dotted with glossy accents and then very fine glitter sprinkled over the top.

Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodles Challenge -

It's time for a new Polkdoodles challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make a Hero card and because I'd run out of ink (and someone forgot to order it when I initially asked) I dug out this really cute die - 'Dorable Dog and I used various scraps of card from my stash (these dies are fab for being able to do that!)  To make the spotty necktie, I added dots of liquid pearls plus a little white highlighting on the nose and eyes.

I used a paper from Butterfly Daisy 6x6 pack, some die cut letters from my stash, bakers twine and a bone charm also from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Wing It!

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

Wing It!

I've used two Memory Box butterfly dies - the ones behind don't fully release from the card and then I layered the fancy bits on top.  The card is left over from my cousin's wedding (8 years ago!) as too is the ribbon.

I cut two lots of the wording (Clearly Besotted dies) so that they stood out more and used offcuts of the card to do it.

Good luck with the challenge!

The DT were challenged to make something with 4 equal squares so I've gone back into my stash and used a Winnie Die and various papers to create the 4 squares - the big dotted one is Vintage Candy 6x6 - I do save all my little scraps which were perfect for the die cut elements!  The vellum is from my stash and it wasn't long enough so the gap is hidden under the die cut!

I've added some half pearls from my stash and the card is complete!  Good luck with the challenge!
