Baby Bluebells!

Hi Everyone

This is my final project as Guest Designer for I Love ProMarkers Challenge.  I have had a great time and want to say thanks again to the team for letting me join them for the month of September.

The challenge theme for this week is "Masculine"  Please come on over and join in with the challenge and see what the very talented team have made to inspire you this time.

My card is a New Baby Card and the Image is one I purchased from Sweet Pea Stamps and is by Katerina Koukiotis and is called Blue Bells Baby Fairy.  I coloured the image using ProMarkers.  I added Blue Shimmer Chalk to the background around the image.  (Not sure if the photo shows this)

The Card Blank is a 6" Scalloped Square and my Base/Frame Layer is a Blue Adorable Scorable.  The Spotty Card is from my Stash!  I added a Blue Grosgrain Riibbon and Hand Tied the Bow.  The Sentiment is from Stampingallday and I stamped this using a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.  To finish I added some Blue Buttons and a Sparkly Blue Heart!

Lollipop Birthday Wishes

Hi Everyone

I have a special card to share with you today.  My Little Girl will be 6 in December and this is the card that I have made ready for her.  When I saw this Image it just reminded me of her so much I had to buy it!

The Image is by Julia Spiri and is called Sweet Girl with Lollipop.  This is the first of her images that I have bought and it definitely won't be the last.  I coloured this cutie up using ProMarkers.

The Card Blank is a 7" Square and my Base/Frame Layer is Bazzill Basics Romance.  The Spotty Paper is from the Sprinkle Pastel Paper Pad by GaleriuPapieru.  I sooo love their Paper Pads!  The Lacy Border Die is from Joanna Sheen and is called Isobel Lace Border.  I cut two of the Large Butterflies 1 in Pink Glitter Card and the other in Bazzill Bling but I do not have the packaging for this die so I cannot tell you whose it is. Sorry!!  I used Robert Addams Dies to cut the "6 Today".   I added a Bright Spotty Rainbow Ribbon which is from Little Angels Buttons and Craft Supplies. and used my Tattered Lace Bow Maker to tie a double bow.  The sentiment is from Stampingallday.  To finish I added various Paper/Silk flowers and Aqua Pearl Gems.

Another Busy Attempt!

Hi Everyone

If any of you are regulars to my blog then you will know that I crave to make a card like the "Busy" Tilda Cards that you see around Blogland and you will know that I keep trying.  Here is another try lol!

I have a special card to share with you today.  I made it for my friend (and Teamie) for her Birthday.

This is one of her favourite Images.  It's from PPinkydolls and is called Looking For You.  I coloured her using ProMarkers.  I decided to try and have another go at making a "busy" card.  I don't have a lot of success with these (it has been a while since one was successful) and most attempts end up in the bin but I was quite happy with this one.  I recently acquired however some dies that a friend didn't want anymore so I cut all sorts of shapes and decided to have a go.  As most of the dies do not have any packaging I am unable to tell you the names of them.  I can however tell you that there are a couple of Tattered Lace Elegant Flourishes in there and a Marrainne Creatables Flourish!.  I cut the shape of the card using a GoKreate Frilly Frame and I actually used a pretty Kanban Paper but I have covered all of it so you can't see it lol!  The Patterned Paper that the image is layered onto is from Hunkdory.  I have stamped the Birthday Wishes Sentiment from Stampingallday using a Memento Tuxedo Black Ink Pad.  I added lots of Paper Flowers and finished with Pearl Gems for the Centres and some Clear Pink Flower Gems.

Smiling Flower Wishes!

Hi Everyone

It's time for another challenge at I Love ProMarkers Challenge.  Our Theme for this week is Get Well Soon/Speedy Recovery.  We are being sponsored this week by QKR Stampede who provided us with a selection of images.  I chose to work with the Image called Smiling Flowers.

Here is my Guest Designer Card for this challenge.  The Card Blank is a 6" Square and I have coloured the Image using ProMarkers.  My Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Peach Shade and the Patterned Paper is from the Daydream Paper Pad.  I kept this card fairly CAS style and added a Peach Bow and some Peach Clear Gems.

Purple Princess

Hi Everyone

Thank you for stopping by and sharing this exciting New Release from FabrikaFantasy.  She is called Fairy-tale Princess and you can find her along with the other fabulous digi stamps in the store. I coloured her with ProMarkers and added some Dovecraft Purple Glitter to her fan!

It's not very often that I take part in a sketch challenge but sometimes a layout catches my eye and I like to have a go!  This is the sketch at Sparkles Monthly Challenge and here is my card along side it!

I used a 6" Square Card Blank and a Purple Glitter Card as my Base/Frame Layer.  The Patterned Paper is from a Dovecraft Back to Basics  Paper Pack.  I cut the circle using my X-Cut nesting circles die to cut the Circle.  I have added a Lilac Grosgrain Ribbon and Lilac Lace Border under the Image.  I used 3 Paper Flowers and Pearl Gems.

Flower Block

Hi Everyone

Its Midway Inspiration Time over at Aud Sentiments Challenge.

The Theme is Anything Goes + Sentiment  

Please come and join in with us there is still plenty of time!

For my card this time I used a Bugaboo Image called Live Love Laugh Block and I made it for a friend to give to her Mum.  The Card Blank is a 7" Square and my Base/Frame Layer is Bazzill Basics Blackbird.  The Background Papers are from Papermania Capsule Collection.  The Image was coloured using ProMarkers.  Because the paper is quite busy I decided not to add lots of die cuts and embellishments so went with coordinating Bows and Pearl Gems.  The Sentiment was stamped using a Memento Tuxedo Black Inkpad and is from Stampingallday.

Leaves are Falling!

Hi Everyone

It's time for a new challenge over at I Love ProMarkers Challenge  This is my 3rd Project as Guest Designer for September.  The Theme for this week is Autumn.  Please come and join in and hsow us your Autumn Creations.

For my card I used Di's Digi's Henry's Windfall.  These little hedgehogs are so cute.  Autumn is probably my favourite time of year with all those gorgeous colours that you see from the leaves.  I coloured this image using ProMarkers.  The Card Blank is a 6" Square and my Base/Frame Layer is a Bazzill Basics Brown Shade.  The Patterned Paper is from Lili of the Valley's Enchantment Paper Pad.  The die cuts are a Cheery Lynn Fanciful flourish and they are all cut in slightly different shades.

I added a Happy Birthday Sentiment, a Satin Bow and finished with some Amber Clear Gems.
