Cute and cuddly?

 Hi guys,

I managed to make a quick card for the reminder post over at Creative Moments, even though I still haven't managed to move into my new house yet, so don't have easy access to my stuff.


I used a pre-coloured image from Beccy's Place. I then fussy cut the image. I folded a Kraft card blank into an easel card, added a strip of patterned paper and an 18 key for the base, and peel-offs for celebrating either side of the image.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Button Nose

 Good evening all,

It has been another wet day here in the South of England, however I did manage to make a card to share with you for our new challenge over at I Love Promarkers


I coloured this guy with both promarkers and chameleon pens, then added a button nose and a button to the top.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
TIOT - Rainbow colours

Thanks for looking,

Fancy Fold

 Hi guys,

We have a new challenge over at MAWTT where we want to see your fancy folds - either for your card, or maybe for your toppers.

My card was created using a kit from a magazine I got a few years ago.


I used the card blank and arrange various toppers to create the scene.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
AYLI - Fav fancy fold - I like the stepper cards as they allow you to have slightly different papers/colours/accents, look funky and are really easy to do
SimonSaysWednesday - Anything Goes
ThePaperPlayers #683 Tic-tac-toe - using the flowers/thank you/pastels row (as I didn't have ribbon to hand


Do pop along to the blog and see what the rest of the DT have created.

Flora and fauna for spring

 It is time for our challenge winners and reminder post over at Creative Moments, which means I have made another card for our flora and fauna theme.


I coloured the image using promarkers and then fussy cut. I used a scalloped heart (X-cut dies) cut from lilac patterned paper to produce a background for the image. I then die-cut the butterfly from self-adhesive vellum. To finish I added some hessian flowers to the bottom corner.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
SOS #518 Spring has sprung
MTTC #530 Multicoloured florals
CRAFT #713 Easter/Spring


Thanks for looking,

Use the rainbow

 Good evening,

We have a new challenge over at I Love Promarkers, with an optional theme of 'Use a Rainbow'. I chose to make a rainbow with my sentiment, and also use some rainbow pattered backing paper for my interpretation of this theme.


The sponsor for this challenge is Polkadoodles and I have used ' Bananas about ya' for my card. 

I coloured the image using chameleon pens, and also used these to create the rainbow sentiment - I simply used red, yellow, blue and purple to make the rainbow. I fussy cut the image and then added to my rainbow backing paper that was layered onto a 6x4 base card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

SimonSaysMonday - Food/drink (The Monkey has a banana, and banana is also in the sentiment)

allsorts #772 Feathers/Fur

SundayPostcardArt - Stars (on the rainbow backing paper)

Thanks for looking,

Butterflies

 Good evening all,

I made this card for our challenge over at MAWTT, however I then realised I had used the incorrect theme and my card making stuff is since packed away for moving house. So I wasn't able to use this card for the challenge blog, but I still wanted to share it with you all.

I thought the theme was butterflies, when in fact it is Trains, Planes and Automobiles - do pop over to the blog to see what the DT have made. In the meantime here is my incorrect card:


I started by layering a piece of black card onto a white card blank. As I wanted a chalkboard effect I used some white die-cuts from my stash of a flower and a butterfly. I then added a butterfly peel-off on the white section, which is a black glitter peel-off. Finally I added a domed sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
MMM #221 Spring/flowers/weather
TIOT - Spring
AYLI - Monochrome or Colourful- While I find colourful easier to do, I do like the simple elegance of a monochromatic card
craftycatz #667 Monochrome

Thanks for looking,

Flora and fauna

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge started today over at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of 'Flora and fauna'.

I used both in my card.


I coloured the image with a mix of promarkers and chameleon pens, then simply layered it onto a foiled base card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

MMM #221 Spring/flowers/weather

TIOT - Spring

AYLI - monochrome or colourful - I actually find monochrome really difficult to do as I like to use a variety of colours in my work

Thanks for looking and we hope to see you joining in our challenge.
