Daring Card Makers Challenge - Mermaids

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

Mermaids

I've used a Little Miss Muffet digi stamp I found pre printed in my stash, coloured with Promarkers and liquid pearls.  The papers are from a bargain 6x6 pack I found in my stash plus I delved deeper and found some Basic Grey fibres that were gifted to me and teamed it with some thin lavender ribbon.

I've hand written the sentiment, added liquid pearl dots around the edge of the card and image plus softened it a little with heart vellum die cuts around the image.  Good luck with the challenge!

Retirement Card: Hangover Hannah

I was asked to make a retirement card for a work colleague who I've worked with for some years - this is the first page using an acrylic album I bought quite some time ago (and knew it would come in handy one day!) plus some 12x12 papers, liquid pearl dots and lilac ribbon.  I've kept it fairly simple and hand wrote the tag sentiments.  I've used Hangover Hannah from Dr Digi, and coloured her with Promarkers in the same colour scheme as the papers.

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Kissing

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

Kissing

I've made a rather cute card using an image from Lily of the Valley - Toadstool for Two, which I've coloured with Promarkers.  I've added liquid pearl dots around the frame and the wooden embellishment is from the Poundshop which I've had for an age!

Good luck with the challenge!

Daring Cardmakers Challenge - Weather

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

Weather

I've made this cute simple card using a freebie image from Sherbert Lane and I've coloured using Promarkers and added my own sentiment.  A line of liquid pearl dots around the edge of the image and the card is complete!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Christmas Sentiments

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

Anything Goes

I'm trying to use up stuff I already have in my stash so this is where the wide satin mint green ribbon comes in - it was a donation from when my cousin got married (nearly 9 years ago) and it was left over from making her Wedding invitations!  It went perfectly with the paper from Holly Jolly.  I've triple cut the Merry Christmas die from left over scraps of card and its hung on the aperture with a strip of acetate recycled from a school shirt packaging.  The circle has been cut using the smallest Posydoodles Basics Circles Dies

Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 45 - 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 the pretty Winter Snowflake image and used Promarkers to colour plus some glitter glue.  The papers are all oddments I found in my stash and I have a feeling they are really old Polkadoodles that I printed from a cd or download a long time ago.  The vellum, gems, ribbon, embroidery thread and charm are all from my stash.

Sentiment has been printed on my computer and to finish, lots of liquid pearl dots!  Good luck with the challenge!

Happy Birthday to Moo

A quick and easy Birthday card using up some of the printed oddments of papers I have in my stash.  And of course the obligatory play on words!  I've used Cuddly Critters Cow from Dr Digi, coloured with Promarkers and then added the printed panels, some liquid pearl dots, the computer generated sentiment and then some paper ribbon which matched the paper perfectly!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 44 - Bugaboo

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Bugaboo and I've merged two images from the Snowmen Set 02 to create this scene.  I've used promarkers to colour and a fair bit of glitter too.  Papers are really old ones from my stash (had a tidy up a while ago and was horrified as to how many paper pads I actually had!) plus some offcuts for layers.  Sentiment printed on my computer and then added.

Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 42 - 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've used Spirit of the Sea, coloured with Promarkers and added dollops of glitter to her tail.  The colours are a lot more punchy in real life - looks a bit dull and flat here!  Sentiment comes with the digi.

Papers are from my stash and are from a 6x6 pad from the Poundshop plus added a dotted line of liquid pearls.  Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 36 - 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 the Tall and Elegant acrylic stamp from Polkadoodles and used Promarkers to colour plus some half pearls for extra detail.  The ribbon was wired but I pulled this out and it is some that I've had in my stash for quite a long time

Good luck with the challenge!

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

I've used up some of the many eyelets I seem to have in my stash and added some yellow ribbon to finish.  Good luck with the challenge!

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.

Glamorous

I've used a fantastic Audrey Hepburn digital image from Etsy and printed it directly onto the white linen effect cardstock which I layered onto the card blank and then added a dotted line of liquid pearls around the edge.

The ribbon is from my stash and I found a quote on the internet and printed it directly onto the panel.

Good luck with the challenge!

Heart die cuts are left over from another project (I don't like to throw anything away!) and the bakers twine and heart and stone charm are from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!

I've used a fab image from the sadly closed From The Heart Stamps (the sentiment came with the image) and coloured it up with Promarkers.  I embossed a background panel using Picnic Quilt from LDRS and edged it with dotted liquid pearls.

I've added some half pearls to the centre of the lucky clovers and ribbon is from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Digi Doodle Studios and I've used Penelope Party Girl and coloured her with Promarkers.  I've used off-cuts of papers that I got free some years ago in a magazine - didn't have anything large enough so had to be creative with what I had!

The sentiment is from Polkadoodles and I've added dots of liquid pearls around the edge of the image and sentiment.  The gems and pearls are from my stash.

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