Morris Minor Traveller

I keep all offcuts of printed paper because I know that I'll be able to use them up one day - this card is an example of that; not got a clue what or where the papers are from but they were random bits I found so they went together well with the Morris Minor Traveller image from Dr Digi!


Coloured with Promarkers and then added some waxed cord.  Not got a clue what the letters are from but were helpful for the sentiment!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Mexican Bold Colours

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

Mexican Bold Colours

I've gone quite retro with this one using up papers I found in my stash that are sadly no longer available as they are from Funky Hand.  The digi image is also from Funky Hand and I've coloured it with Promarkers.


I handwrote the tag and then added some ribbons from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodle Challenge - Under The Sea

It's time for a new Polkdoodles challenge and the theme is


Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to use a blue and green background with a pop of colour so I've made my own background with green and blue ink sprays plus a little silver here and there.  Lil Miss Mermaid looks right at home!  Coloured with Promarkers plus added some tiny half pearls I found in my stash and the pop of colour is the pink paper ribbon and I've added a little starfish charm.



Good luck with the challenge!

Some half pearls and a faux running stitch around the edge of the card blank and its done!

Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodles Challenge - Something Cute

It's time for a new Polkdoodles challenge and the theme is

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to make something cute with a sentiment and I always need cute cards so used Tons of Wishes elephant and coloured her with Promarkers - the sentiment comes with the stamp and teamed it with papers from Vintage Candy 6x6 pack - the half pearls are to hide the paper joins as I just used strips underneath the main piece!  


Vellum circle has been cut with a Posydoodles Basics Circle die and the sentiment with one of the Posydoodles Basics Tag die.  And I knew that elephant charm I've had in my stash for years would come in handy one day!!  Embroidery thread also from my stash.

Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 26 - 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 Nurse Annie digi stamp, coloured with Promarkers and then added to a star shaped card.  I've made a wobble head card by printing the image twice and then making a spring from coiled wire.  This was made for a work colleague as her daughter graduated from nurse training.


I've added various die cuts using card from my stash and I hand wrote the sentiment banners.

Good luck with the challenge!
