Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 25 - 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 made a card for a work colleague who has moved to a different team.  I've used one of the images from Work and Play 11 and coloured her with Promarkers.  Papers and everything else are from my stash - using up oddments from previous projects.

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!

Good Luck

I've made this card using Schrodinger from Dr Digi for one of my team who recently left us for pastures new.

I've embossed a panel behind the 10cm tall die cut letter - I've coloured them with inks and Schrodinger has been coloured with Promarkers.

Daring Card Makers - Back to Black

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

Back to Black

This is a card I made a few months ago for a work colleague who was leaving and is a big Game of Thrones fan.  I found the free image by doing a search and I created the text wording by using a free font maker.

I printed the image twice, coloured it with Promarkers and then with the second image, I coloured all the scales and then individually cut them out, curling them slightly as I glued them in place.

I found some silver card in my stash and layered it with black card and then added the dark brown twine that I also found in my stash.

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

MAY

Use each of the letters to create your work!  I've gone for M = Machine, A = Animal, Y = Yellow

I've used a no longer available image from From The Heart Stamps and coloured it up with Promarkers.  The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment came with the image.

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

Lucky Cat

One of my colleagues who I have worked with for a long time has gone on a 2 year secondment as as she loves cats, what better way to send her on her way than to use Schrodinger from Dr Digi!  I've coloured him with Promarkers plus glossy accents on his eyes.

I've used a Sizzix embossing folder for the background, handwrote the sentiment and used ribbon and a charm from my stash.  I'd like to enter the following:

A Cuddly Good Luck!

I made this leaving card for a teacher who loves pandas!  I've used Cuddly Critters Panda from Dr Digi and coloured it with Promarkers with glitter glue on the nose and glossy accents on the eyes.

The grass is a combination of a Marianne Creatables icicle die and a Clearly Besotted die.  Letters are Sizzix Round-a-Bout which have been covered in pink glitter glue.

From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop - Use Your Stash

It's the first Monday of the month so it can only mean a From The Heart Stamps Blog Hop!  The theme for the month for the DT is:

I've used Wee Bit and Lots O Luck and coloured it with promarkers plus one of the shamrocks is heavily glittered plus they all have half green pearls added from my stash.  The green organza ribbon, waxed cord and charm are from my stash.

If you've arrived at me from Michelle then you're on the right track - I'm the last in the hop so don't forget to leave me a comment and then hop back to the blog and leave a comment there too!

The hop will end on Sunday 7 August at 6am EST and the winners will be posted on the From The Heart Stamps blog on Wednesday 10 August.

Good luck!

Good Luck

A card made for a colleague who is leaving to start a new role - he works in finance and I've used the corporate colours (yes, orange is one of them!) but tried to keep it masculine.  Papers are Papermania  For Him colossal 6x6 paper pack which I've had in my stash for more years than I care to remember.

I've used a wonderful Jellypark image which sadly is no longer available, coloured with Promarkers and layered onto black card.  I've hand written the sentiment and made the bunting too and added half black pearls from my stash.

Flossy

You can always rely on Flossy from Dr Digi to wish someone a hearty 'Good Luck'!  Coloured with Promarkers and added to the card with foam pad for depth, I've also added a faux running stitch around the edge of the card with a fineliner pen.

The fence die cut is from my stash and the grass is a Marianne Creatables icicle die (upside down it makes great grass!)  Letters are Sizzix dies that I've glittered.

Polkadoodle Challenge - Lucky Green

A new Polkadoodle challenge has started and the theme is Lucky Green

Admittedly, my creation hasn't got much green in it, but it does have a big bold good luck message!  I've used Sticks and Bones for all the elements - the main image is pre coloured and is from the design sheet section along with the backing paper.  The frame has been made by enlarging a bone and printing it four times.

I've added glossy accents to all the letters for something a little different and added a dino charm from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge and don't forget that there is plenty of inspiration on the blog too!

Beryl

There is nothing more satisfying than getting out on the open road, the wind in your hair and the feel of all the flies splattering against your goggles.

Luckily this does not deter Beryl the Biker - anything to get away from the rat race!  The digi is available from Dr Digi and I've coloured her with Promarkers, made the road signs from images on the internet (plus one of my own).  Grass is a Marianne Creatables icicles die, clouds are Memory Box dies and I've hand written the banner myself.

I've added a '2015' charm and also a motorbike charm - both from my rather extensive stash!

Moving On

Another card for someone leaving at work but not really leaving just moving to a different team. Some could say the dark side.....

I've used a fab Jellypark digi - Woman at Desk, coloured with Promarkers.  I've cut the sentiment using Sizzix dies and added some ribbon, embroidery thread and charms from my stash (lucky clover and a stethoscope).

The spotty paper is from Polkadoodles - Serenity CD and I've used some pale lilac card from my stash for layering.  Added dots of liquid pearls around the edges and the card is complete!

Good Luck

I needed to make a good luck card in a hurry and remembered I had this great little digi - From The Heart Stamps - Wee Bit and Lots O Luck pack - I've just used one of the images included.  Coloured with Promarkers and added to the card with foam pads - doubled up as I used an X Cut die to create a frame and used tiny foam pads to raise that up.

Embroidery thread and waxed kraft coloured twine from my stash and I've created 'pretend' brads with a black marker and glossy accents over the top.

Professor Dummkopf

Well, as with any good team, people come and go.  And there have been quite a few going where I work and here is one of the cards I made for the occasion:

The wording on the front is an 'in joke' across the office so I won't explain it!  Prof Dummkopf is available to buy in the Dr Digi store.  He's been coloured with Promarkers and I've lightly distressed a piece of blue card for the background and the lettering is a Sizzix die.

Lots O' Luck

I managed to get quite a few images coloured up over the Christmas break and this is one of those - Lucky Birdbrain Chick - From The Heart digi stamps.  Which was good thinking as I needed a good luck card for work tomorrow!

I've coloured it with Promarkers and added glitter glue around the edges and also sentiment.  Everything else is from my stash including the printed paper.  The charm is from my rather extensive stash (and growing!)

Lots of Luck

A good friend and work colleague will be leaving soon and I've offered to make the farewell / good luck card for us all to sign. I've used Lucky Birdbrain Chick - From The Heart Stamps, coloured with Promarkers (and glossy accents) and used DCWV Retro Stack 6x6 papers along with cardstock from my stash.

The ribbon is also from my stash and I've made a series of loops and then threaded more ribbon through to tie so it looks fancy! A few matching half pearls here and there and some stickles around the edge of the image and its complete!

I added one of the sentiments that comes with the image on the inside of the card and I've made sure there is plenty of space for everyone to write their well wishes!

The image is quite apt as she keeps chickens too. Although I don't think any will be as good looking and trendy as this chick!
