ILPM's - Anything Goes

The theme for this weeks challenge over on I ♥ ProMarkers is the  very popular 'Anything Goes'.  We have a new sponsor for this one, Dr Digi! with a prize of 2 digi images up for grabs.

Here's my DT card.


I bought this image a while ago, and never got round to using it.  So when I was asked to make a card for a friends wife, I knew this was just the image I wanted.  The image is from Just Inklined, the flowers are a mixture from WOC and my stash.  The Holly leaves were cut with a die from Cheery Lynn, I used the Tied Together embossing folder for the top half and my Houghie boards for the bottom half.  The sentiment is computer generated. 


A closer look at the image.


 And the flowers.

Father Christmas from Just Inklined

It's Saturday and that's my day for showing you an image from Just Inklined.
I'm still making Christmas cards so thought I'd colour Santa.

  
I used ProMarkers to colour this image, though there's very little to colour really.  Added the usual bit of sparkle in the fur on his hat.  I used dies from Cheery Lynn for the corners and Spellbinders for all the others.  The embossing fold is Tied Together by Couture Creations and the pearls are from Mei Flower.

Food Glorious Food at Winter Wonderland

Typical isn't it, I had a few DT post's scheduled this week and the only one that didn't post is this one, so I'm sorry I'm a bit late uploading it.

A new challenge has just started over on Winter Wonderland and the theme for this one is Food Glorious Food, so  yes that means we need to see food of some kind on your Christmas project.

We have 2 fab sponsors for this one - Crafty Embellies with a prize of a £10 voucher to spend in their online store, and Pink Gem Designs who have a prize of 4 digi images of the winners choice.

Here's my DT card.


I knew straight away what I was going to use for this card.  This image is one of the first digi images I ever bought when I first started card making, I just love it.  It's from Lilyboo, but I'm not sure if you can still buy it, Lilyboo is still around so maybe if you want the image, it's worth doing a search for her.
I used ProMarkers to colour the image and the sparkle is the usual Chameleon glitter from DMD.  The embossing folder I used is Tied Together and the sentiment is from the Picknix 2 CD from Polka Doodles.

A closer look at the image.

Here's my DT card.


 The image, which is precoloured, sentiment and paper is from the Picknix 2 CD.  The snowflakes and icicles were cut with Marianne dies, which I then covered with chameleon glitter.

Winter Wonderland - One For The Boys

Time for a new challenge over on Winter Wonderland where the theme is 'One For The Boys', so we'd like to see a male figure on your Christmas cards for this one.

Here's my DT card.

I wanted a change from colouring so I dug out my Joanna Sheen CD's and found this image on the Vintage Christmas disc.  Now I'm not sure if this CD is still available as I've had it for quite a few years now.... lol.  The dies used are Spellbinders - border, poinsettia and ovals, Memory Box - gold swirly bits and Cheery Lynn for the sentiment.  I used an embossing folder by Couture Creations called Washed Away.

Just Inklined

Saturday means it's time for a new card using an image from Just Inklined.  This weeks I've used the 'Robin on a Watering Can' image, I love it!


 I used ProMarkers to colour the image and the glitter is the usual chameleon glitter from Debbi Moore Designs.  The die used is from Spellbinders.  I made the BP myself using a mask I bought over a year ago and never used.... lol, and used distress ink Stormy Sky.  The sentiment is a stamp I bought in Florida a few years ago, unfortunately there is no company logo on it, so can't tell you who it's by.

Polka Doodles Wk 44

Time for a new challenge over on Polka Doodles.  The theme for this one is Bright Colours and Sparkle.  We have a fab sponsor this week, Marianne Dies

Here's my DT card.


 Everything on this card is from the Picknix CD, (BP, bauble, sentiment) and not a ProMarker in sight.... lol.
I printed out the bauble 4 times, cut them out and folded them in half, then stuck each side to each other to create the 3d effect.  I added red glitter to the bauble, and chameleon glitter around the edges of the layers.


A closer look at the bauble.
