Daring Card Makers Challenge - Gardens

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

Gardens

I've made this cute card using a Lili of the Valley image - Take It Easy, which I've coloured with Promarkers.  All the papers are from my stash and they are from a really old pack which I'm trying to use up and I've got a lot of oddments from previous projects to use!  Sentiment is computer generated.


Good luck with the challenge!

Good luck with the challenge!

Melvin The Mod

A while ago (when I had more time than I have now!) I went through all the Dr Digi images I had printed out to see if there was one I'd not used before and came across Melvin the Mod.  So he got coloured up with Promarkers and I have quite a few vintage roadmaps in my stash so used one of those and some plain card.


Worked out quite well I thought!

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

Checked Patterns

I've made a card using lots of offcuts - the background paper is oddments from previous projects along with the stars.  The frame has been cut using two square dies and the letters and sentiment also from bits of kraft card.  String from the kitchen drawer!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 23 - Oddball Stamps

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Oddball stamps and I decided to use one of the fab Funny Yeti Faces, coloured with Promarkers and then added it to the card base with a homemade spring.  Sentiment is computer generated and I've finished off my doodling a line around the edge of the card!


Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge

The DT were challenged to make a girly card and here is mine!  I've used Ruby Sweet digi stamp and coloured her with Promarkers plus a little glitter glue on her underskirts.  I've layered the image onto some lemon card I found in my stash and then used Blushing Blooms 6x6 paper underneath.  Finished it off with liquid pearl dots, ribbons and half pearls from my stash and blingy numbers.


Good luck with the challenge!

Father's Day: World's Best Dad (Again!)

Another World's Best Dad Father's Day card using an image from Dr Digi and a sentiment from the Father's Day Sentiment Sheet which I've coloured with Promarkers to match the colour scheme.  Papers are ancient as I'm trying to use up my stash and I've added some half pearls for added detail.

Daring Card Makers - Up The Flag Pole!

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

Up The Flag Pole

I've used the USA flag as inspiration - mainly the colours and the stars (didn't manage the stripes!) and have used up oddments from my stash to make it plus a black fine liner pen for the faux running stitch.  An X Cut star die plus used up some Swiss Dots embossed white card that I found in my stash.  


The sentiment die is from my stash and I've use the negative part for a change.  Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 22 - Lee Holland Art

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Lee Holland Art and I've used the cute Celebration Bunny, coloured with Promarkers and a little bit of sparkle.  Papers are my stash, along with the ribbon.  I've used Clearly Besotted dies and cut them twice, glossy accented them and the sprinkled fine glitter over the top so they are quite glittery!  The numbers are from the pound shop.


Good luck with the challenge!

Father's Day: World's Best Dad

Father's Day is fast approaching and here is a card I made using World's Best Dad from Dr Digi and a sentiment from the bargain Father's Day Sentiment Sheet.  Image has been coloured with Promarkers plus glossy accents for the glasses and the papers are almost as old as time - I'm trying to use up all my stash but I have a feeling it will outlive me!  Found some card candy too so those have been added.
