Daring Card Makers - Vellum

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

Vellum

I've made a cute Baby on Board card using a no longer available digi from Jellypark which I've coloured with Promarkers.  Papers are from my stash and I have a feeling they are really old Polkadoodles; added liquid pearl dots and a circle of vellum behind the image.  Ribbon, bakers twine, half pearls and baby carriage charm from my stash.


Good luck with the challenge!

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 434 - SheepSki Designs

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

Girly

And we are sponsored by SheepSki Designs and I've used Flamenco, coloured with Promarkers.  I've used a single sheet of paper from my stash and then added dotted liquid pearls around the image and card base as I wanted to keep it really simple and unfussy.  Sentiment has been stamped and the ribbons are from my stash.


Good luck with the challenge!

Anglin' Andy and Whopper Fish

Anglin' Andy from Dr Digi is looking rather pleased with the whopper fish he has caught although he's hoping he has an oven dish big enough to cook it in.  Coloured with Promarkers, computer generated sentiment and various papers from my stash along with the fish bone charms.

Daring Card Makers - Celebrating Books

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

Celebrating Books

I've made a cute First Day At School card using a now retired Jellypark image, coloured with Promarkers and I think the papers are from Echo Park and are a digital version so I've had them printed in my stash for a long time!  I've handwritten the tag and added a silver apple charm.


Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Butterflies

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

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to use Butterflies in their projects so I've gone for clean and simple card, using some really glittery (but old as the glitter was a bit loose) gold card cut using one of the butterflies from the Butterfly Trio die.  To hide the missing glitter and the fact that it was virtually luminous, I cut three vellum layers and added some AB tiny gemstones to the body (the vellum wasn't stuck down properly when I took the photo so its a bit wonky!)  The little butterflies - Dotted Wings Butterfly - have been cut from better quality white glitter card.  The sentiment is from the Sentimentals 6x6 Paper Pack and it and the layer beneath have been cut with the Squarey Swirly Hearts Die


Good luck with the challenge!


Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 16 - All Dressed Up Stamps

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by All Dressed Up Stamps and I've used one of the images from Wear With Style and I've used Promarkers to colour.  Papers are from my stash and I think they are old Funky Hand digital papers that I've had for quite a long time!  As I'm on a stash ban (I have far too much) I'm trying to use up what I have.


I've used a white gel pen for highlighting on the papers and the half pearls are from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

Eunice

I've welcomed two new co-workers recently and things are going very well.  So thought I'd send them a welcome to the job card using Eunice The Unicorn from Dr Digi.  Although you can't see, her hooves have been glittered within an inch of their lives.  Tag sentiment hand written along with the doodled border.

Daring Card Makers - Black and White and One Other Colour

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

Black and White + 1

I've used a Lili Of The Valley digi, coloured with Promarkers and then double cut the sentiment, once with black card and then layered dark teal over the top.  Stars have been cut with various offcuts of card (I rarely throw any bits away!) and then found some old Funky Hand ziz zag papers in my stash that I've had for an absolute age - still trying to use up what I have!


Good luck with the challenge!

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 433 - Ikes Art

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

Paper Piercing

And we are sponsored by Ikes Art and I've used Cheshire Cat - I printed it twice and then glued an offcut of pre printed card on the reverse of one of them and then cut it out and added it to the Promarker coloured image.  The printed paper is a really old one from the no longer trading Funky Hand and I found it in my stash and it was perfect for this image!


I've doodled a border around the edge of the card and I've handwritten the sentiment.  Good luck with the challenge!

Cuppa

Sometimes a card screams out to be round!  And to be honest, I'm rather amazed it stood up and didn't wobble too much!  I've used offcuts of red card with an alphabet die, some half pearls from my stash and an offcut of stripy paper for the background.  The image is from Dr Digi - Cuppa - which I've coloured with Promarkers.

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 14 - Ching-Chou Kuik

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Ching-Chou Kuik and I've used Purple Balloon and coloured it with Promarkers plus used glossy accents and then very fine glitter for the balloon.  Papers are from my stash and I've used offcuts so had to be clever with where they were placed!


Half pearls are from my stash and I've computer generated the sentiment.  Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Clean and Simple

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

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make a Clean and Simple card and to add some ribbon or twine.  I've used the Squarey Swirly Hearts Die - cut the base from an offcut of card and then used the other two square dies to cut the layers.  The sentiment has been cut from the Sentimentals 6x6 paper pad and the pick paper is from Itsy Ditsy 6x6 paper pad.  Ribbon, embroidery thread and charm all from my stash


Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - April Elemental Inspiration

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week, as it is the first Friday of the month, its an elemental inspiration:


You need to use at least three of the elements in your creation and colour counts as one choice.  I've used:  texture, the heart, red and white, lettering and the word love.


Good luck with the challenge!



Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 13 - Rachel Vass Designs

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Rachel Vass Designs and I got to work with Summer Border which I've coloured with Promarkers.  I've kept it simple and layered it onto some lilac and deep purple card I found in my stash


Good luck with the challenge!
