Daring Card Makers Challenge - Oh Baby!

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

Oh Baby!

I'm the hostess this week!  And I've used this fab Jellypark image which sadly is no longer available, coloured with Promarkers and I've handwritten the sentiment.  Papers are from my stash and I found the silver grey paper in there too.

Ribbons and half pearls are from my stash too.  The colour scheme was specifically requested.  Good luck with the challenge!

Polkadoodles Challenge - Anything Goes or Christmas

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

Anything Goes

The DT were challenged to  a Christmas theme.  I've used the fab Gnome-men Snow Ho Ho clear acrylic stamps and used Promarkers to colour.  To keep it all nice and simple and with a clean look, I cut the image and then layered it using the Posydoodles Basics Square dies and a tag from Posydoodles Basics Tags die.  The wooden red star I've had in my stash for probably a decade and too the bakers twine!  Lightly embossed a line around the edge of the card and its done!

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!

Crimbo Crackers Challenge 215 - Anything Goes

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

Anything Goes

I've created a really clean card by using an X Cut die to create the main focal point and then glittered the snowflakes and adding half pearls to the centres and other areas.  I layered it onto a die cut circle.  I added a tag and a ribbon bow.

Good luck with the challenge!

Turning 50 - Part 3

And here is the letter F from fifty.  I've used Keep Fit Kenneth and coloured him with Promarkers plus added Strongo the Magnificent in the background for retro look back!

Daring Card Makers Challenge - Inspirational Board

It's time for a new Daring Cardmakers challenge and the theme this week as it is the first Friday of the month is an Inspiration board

I've gone for the leaves, outdoors, the autumn theme, leaf pattern, the fruit shape represented by the button and the crinkliness of leaves in the paper ribbon I've used!  The image is a sadly retired Jellypark one which I've coloured with Promarkers and then used some papers I found in my stash.  I've handwritten the tag and used some paper ribbon for the bow and strip behind the image.  Button also from my stash

Good luck with the challenge!

Colour Crazy Challenge - Week 35 - Ikes Art

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

Anything Goes

This week we are sponsored by Ikes Art and I've used one of the ducks from the Dippy Duckz set and coloured with Promarkers.  I printed the sentiment underneath the image and have found various bits of pre printed papers in my stash to use up - some of the bits were really quite small but I'm determined to use up all the papers I have.  Which will take some time as I have loads!

Buttons and embroidery thread are from my stash.  Good luck with the challenge!

I Love Promarkers - Challenge 418 - Paper Nest Dolls

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

No Patterned Paper

And we are sponsored by the Paper Nest Dolls and I've used the cute Elephant with Butterfly digi, coloured with Promarkers.  I've embossed the background with a To Me To You folder and added dotted liquid pearls around the edge of the image and card blank.

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!

Turning 50 - Part 2

This is the second page in the personalised Birthday card and features Man About The House from Dr Digi and I've used Promarkers to colour plus random dies from my stash.  The to do list is personal to the recipient when he had problems plumbing a new toilet!!
