Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 34 - Sponsored by Polkadoodles

Today starts a new Colour Crazy challenge and for the fortnight the theme is

Anything Goes

We are sponsored by Polkadoodles and I've used this cute Winnie - Expecting a New Baby from the Celebrations 3 collection.  I've coloured her with Promarkers and added a little bit of glitter glue here and there for a bit of sparkle!

I found the blue paper in my stash and I've added a dotted line of liquid pearls around the edge of the card and image and the organza ribbon is from my stash along with the cute feet charm.

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

Polkadoodle Challenge - Anything Goes or Use Flowers

It's time for a new Polkaoodles challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to use flowers and I've used a number of different products that were recently part of the One Day Special on Hochanda.  First up is the Merry Christmas die in the central panel plus the Poinsettia Lace die (cut with two different shades of red card) and I've added tiny micro beads to the centres.

The papers are offcuts from a previous project and come from the Holly Jolly 6x6 paper pack.  A little bit of inking and the card is complete!

Little Miss Muffet Stamps - Challenge 196 - Anything Goes

It's the start of a new Little Miss Muffet challenge and the theme for the fortnight is

Anything Goes

I've used a recent new release image - Polka Dot Pals Avonlee and coloured her with Promarkers.  I used an X Cut die to cut the oval and the papers are all magazine freebies that I've had for a long time

I found some pretty flowers in my stash and added them - I wound the stems around a pencil to get the curl before adding to the card.  I've added tiny half pearls to the centre of the flowers in her hair and on her shoes, and also larger ones to the top of the card.

Good luck with the challenge!

Dad's 70th - E is for

Here is the second part of the word sEventy for my Dad's birthday earlier this year.  I've used BBQ Bill from Dr Digi along with Balls and the freebie Sunshade.  All have been coloured with Promarkers.

The large letter E is a chipboard letter that I coloured using a marker and the other letters are from my Sizzix Round-A-Bout alphabet set.

Clouds have been cut with a Memory Box die and the grass are various dies (negative also used) from my stash.

See you next week for the letter V!

What's Cooking?

I've used an unbranded baking set die for the apron and utensils, cutting them from an offcut of card I found in my stash along with recycling a handle from a shopping bag.

The baking tray has been cut and then Card Candy added to look like cookies!  Good luck with the challenge!  I'd like to enter the following:

Little Miss Muffet Stamps - Challenge 195 Inspiration

We are part way through the current Little Miss Muffet challenge and the theme as always is

Anything Goes

For your inspiration I have used Polka Dot Pals Attina and coloured her with Promarkers plus coloured pencils in the background.

I found some papers in my stash that matched the ribbon perfectly and I've cut them out using the Fanciful Circles dies from Polkadoodles and the image has been cut with Polkadoodles Stitched Cirles die.

I've added ribbon, embroidrey thread and a charm from my stash and added a dotted line around the edge of the card with a black fine liner pen.  Good luck with the challenge!

Dad's 70th - S is for...

Here is the first 'page' of my Dad's 70th Birthday card that I made earlier this year.  I've used Summer Holiday and Sandcastle from Dr Digi and both have been coloured with Promarkers with coloured pencils in the background.

Each page took a letter from the word SEVENTY so watch out for the others!

I've used an old road map as the background and the letters are Sizzix Round-a-Bout die cuts and the large S is a chipboard letter that I've coloured with a marker.
