Die Cut Dreams #2

Well I managed to do this weeks challenge in time, after I was late last week. This weeks we had to use anything spotty and dotty. I used spotty paper, which I think is by Papermainia and also a piece of embossed card.

Passion for ProMarkers #4

This week over on the brilliant challenge blog Passion for ProMarkers, the challenge is to use the colours Berry Red and Royal Blue as your main colours. I didn't think I'd like the way this card turned out, as I'm more for softer colours, but I'm pleased with the end result. Would be good for an Independence Day birthday.

Willow Sketchie Challenge on Craftbubble

There's a lovely sketch this week over on Sketch Saturday, this is my card. The image is a stamp from Dimension Fourth, coloured with ProMarkers. The papers are from Pink Petticoat.

A couple of Fathers Day cards

For the first card I used my sketchie which is this weeks challenge on Craft Bubble. As a DT member we're supposed to use Willow Design images, but as this one wasn't my DT card I thought it'd be ok to use a different image.

Willow Sketchie Challenge on Craft Bubble 13th June

It's my turn to design the sketchie for this weeks challenge over on Lets Get Stamping on Craft Bubble.
Here's my sketchie
And here's my card.
And a close up of the detail.
I layered the flower and buzzy bees and gave the petals and wings some sparkle with glitter. The papers are designed by Sharon and are what she designed for this months Card Making and Papercraft magazine, lovely aren't they.

Willow Sketchie Challenge

This week on Willow Sketchie Challenge, it's Zoe's turn to design the sketch. I enjoyed this sketch and I'll probably use it again. The image is Walter Owl, a digi download from Willow Designs. I coloured Walter with ProMarkers. Pop over to WSC and join in with this weeks challenge.

ProMarkers & Whiff of Joy

I've combined 2 challenges this week, Passion for ProMarkers and Whiff of Joy. This week on Passion for ProMarkers we had to use the colours Pumpkin and Cinnamon, I love these colours together, and on Whiff of Joy there's a lovely sketch to follow. I've used backing papers from Pink Petticoat and the flowers are cut with the retro flower punch.

A Couple of Mens Cards

I had 2 mens cards to make this week (don't we just love making them!) The backing papers for both cards are from Pink Petticoat. For the first card I stamped the lets onto co-ordinating plain coloured card (PP) cut them out and give them a coating of 3D gloss. I ran the white card through the Cuttlebug diamond embossing folder. The second card is from an idea I saw on Pink Petticoat gallery.

Just Magnolia

Theres a great sketch to follow this week for the challenge over on Just Magnolia. This is the first time I've used this image, (kindly sent to my by a blogging friend) I think it's just so cute. I coloured the image with PM's, the flowers were cut using a cuttlebug die, the greeting is a stamp from Stamps Away.

Whiff of Joy & Sketch Saturday

I've combined 2 challenges this week, Whiff of Joy and Sketch Saturday. Over on Whiff of Joy we had to use a charm somewhere, I used a strawberry charm to match the WOJ image, the sentiment is also a WOJ stamp. I used this weeks sketch on Sketch Saturday. I love this sketch and will use it again.

I coloured the image with PM's, used the medium and small retro flower punch and the corners are a cuttlebug die.

Willow Sketchie Challenge on Craftbubble

It's Saturday again and time for a new sketchie challenge over on Craftbubble. This weeks it's Katies turn to host and she's designed a great sketchie for you to follow. This is her sketch.Her twist is to use leftovers and colours you wouldn't normally put together.
Here's my card
The papers are leftover and orange and green are colours I'd never put together. I'm surprised with how it turned out really, not as bad as I thought... lol.
The image is a digistamp image from Willow Designs. I coloured the image with ProMarkers and the greeting is a stamp from Whiff of Joy.

Sketch Saturday, Just Magnolia & Passion for Promarkers

This week I've done something I don't normally do, but I've been pushed for time, so I've combined three challenges with this card. For Just Magnolia you had to use animals or insects, Passion for Promarkers you had to use the colours Apple and Pastel Pink and I used the sketch on Sketch Saturday. I used silicone to sit the butterfly on to give it the 3D effect.
