Chloe on Swing in Reds

Hi Everyone

It is the start of a new challenge over at A Gem of A Challenge 


The theme for the next fortnight is Birthday Card.  I hope that you can come along and join in with us.

For my DT inspiration card I used Chloe on Swing and I have coloured her using Copics.  I coloured her a few weeks ago in Blues and as I had printed her out twice I thought I would try her in a different colour so here she is in Reds!

The Card Blank is a 7" Square and the flowery paper is from Scrap and Craft.  I added a Satin Ribbon and hand tied the bow.  I popped on some Paper Flowers, a Happy Birthday sentiment which I stamped and finished with Red Pearl Gems.

Gaming Fun

Hi Everyone

Today I am sharing a card with you that I was asked to make by my friend for her other children to give to their Brother for his Birthday next month.

Another Gaming fan so I used this image called Gaming Andy from Pink Gem Designs and I have coloured him using Copics

I think I will be using him again on my Son's card too.  I absolutely loved colouring him and his little friend up lol

The Card is a 7" Square and the Patterned Papers are from LOTV and Scrap and Craft. I do like double layering with the same paper so here is some more lol!   The sentiments I typed on the laptop before printing the image.

I followed the current sketch over at Cheerful Sketches Challenges for this card.  I like layers and this one popped out at me.  As you can see I turned it 90 degrees.  This was to allow for my sentiments they wouldn't fit on with it in its current position.



This was a real fun card to make.  

I would like to enter this card into the following Challenges

My Inspiration Card is a 7" Scalloped Square and I have used Polka Dot Card which I bought from Limetree Crafts when I went to a craft show in June.  I coloured the image with Copics and cut her out using a Go Kreate Circle Die and layered her onto a Decorative Circle which I cut using a Spellbinders Die.  I added White Lace and a Pink Satin Ribbon and Hand Tied the Bow.  The Hearts are a Memory Box Die called Precious Hearts and I cut these from White Glitter Card.  I added paper flowers and finished with various pearl gems.

KRAFT and Blues

Hi Everyone

Today is the start of a new challenge over at A Gem of A Challenge 


The theme for the next fortnight is Use KRAFT.  Please come on over and play along with us.

For my DT card I used the gorgeous Chloe on Swing digi image which I have coloured using Copics.  You can find all the wonderful images, Toppers etc in the Store   

This is new for me as I have never used Kraft Card Before and to be honest was always dubious about using it.  I originally printed the image straight onto the KRAFT card but I struggled to get the copics to show up anywhere near their proper colours so I abandoned that idea and have used it for layering instead!  I used a Memento Dew Drop Ink Pad to distress around the image.  The sentiment is hand stamped and is from Stampingallday.  I finished by adding a Blue Satin Bow to the Top Left Corner.
