A new challenge has just started over on Digi Doodle Shops Challenges and the theme for this one is the very popular 'Anything Goes'.  As always we have a $10 gift certificate for the lucky winner, so why not pop over and join us.
Here's my DT card.
I just love this image and it's my favourite baby image to use.  The image is called 'Sleeping Infant' and you can buy and download it HERE.  I coloured the image with ProMarkers, the BP's are from Pink Petticoat and the flowers I made using the retro flower punch.

ILPMs #72 - Include Flowers

So sorry I'm late with my post for this one this week, but I've had loads of problems with blogger.
Anyway, this weeks theme over on I ♥ ProMarkers is to include flowers on your project, nice and easy!
This weeks were sponsored by Di's Digi Downloads and the prize is 5 digis on the winners choice.  The DT used images from Di's this week and we all enjoyed working with them.
Here's my DT card.
The BP I used are a free download from Bearly Mine, I like it as it looks embossed.  I used a nestie to make the flowers.

DDSC # 64

For  this weeks challenge over on Digi Doodle Shop Challenges, we have a sketch for you to follow.  You can also be in with the chance of winning a $10 gift certificate to spend at Digi Doodle Shop online store.
Here's my DT card
 The image I used is called Stargazer Lily which you can buy and download HERE.  I've wanted to colour this image for such a long time, but just couldn't get it right with PM's, so I got my Prisma Colour Pencils and Sansador out, and finally got a result I was happy with.
A closer look at the image,  Prismas are perfect if you want a softer look.

Here's my DT card.

This image is called Louis & Daisies which you can buy and download HERE, isn't he cute!  I coloured him with ProMarkers.  I used a flower stamp to make my background, the embossed panel is dimensions card, which I sanded after embossing, which makes the embossing really pop.  I used a punch to cut the flowers and placed some card candy in the centres.

This week over on DCD we have a recipe for you to follow, which is 3 stamps, 3 flowers and a bow.  We're being sponsored by our very own Lynne and owner of a lovely new online store, Crafts 4 You

CMLI on Craft Bubble

I always forget to put this challenge on my blog!
This week it's Rosie's turn to host the challenge, her twist, along with a sketch was to use some card board, the corrugated type, she had me stumped on this one....... but I managed it in the end. 
Here's my DT card.

The stamp is by Dovecraft, and from the Pepper & Friends collection. This is the first time I've used it, and I think it's quite cute!  I used my PM's to colour it and added some glitter on the water coming from the tap and on the trail from the dragonfly and bumble bee.
