ILPM's #179

It's Wednesday and that means it's time for a new challenge over on I ♥ ProMarkers.  Our theme for this one is 'Steam Punk or Mechanical'.  We have 2 sponsors, Marianne Dies and Visible Image.

Here's my DT card.

This image is a stamp called Clara, which you can buy from one of our sponsors, Visible Image.  I'm not one for doing Steam Punk, but I just love this image, and I'm pleased with how the card turned out.

The BP isa freebie from a Debbi Moore Magazine, the stamped sentiment is also a freebie from another Debbi Moore Magazine.  I cut the cogs and hinge on my Cameo and gave them a coating of copper embossing powder.

A closer look at the image.

Time for a new challenge over on I ♥ ProMarkers and our theme for this one is 'Christmas In July'.

I just love snowmen and this one is a stamp from Lily of the Valley, one of my favourites.  The BP is from Nitwits and the snowflakes were cut on my Cameo.

The usual close up..... lol.

Just Inklined

Time for me to show you another card featuring an image from Just Inklined.  

This image is called Seaside Beach Huts and is available for  you to buy and download HERE.

 I fancied a bit of a change for this card so created a sunset background with distress inks, think I've over inked the sun though..... lol.  I coloured the image with ProMarkers and distress inks for the card base.  The corners were cut with a die by Cheery Lynn.

The usual close up..... lol.

Winter Wonderland

For this weeks challenge over on Winter Wonderland we would like to see a boy and girl on you project, remember it has got to be a Christmas project.  Our sponsor is Wild Rose Studios with a fab prize of 2 stamps of the winners choice.

Here's my DT card.

I made this card with elements from a Hunky Dory card making kit.  I've not had a lot of time over the last few weeks with preparing for my nieces wedding, so this card kit was perfect as a quick card.  Back to normal now as the wedding was on Saturday.

Anyway I hope you play along with us this week.

La Pashe

This fab image is just one of many on the brand new, 'Something For Everyone', CD from La Pashe.  If you prefer, you can also buy them as ready printed sheets HERE.

Just Inklined

Time for me to show you another card using a digi image from the fab Just Inklined.  As you can guess this image is called 'Pansy' and you can buy and download it HERE.

I coloured the image with ProMarkers and used Shaded Lilac Distress Ink for a bit of distressing.  I then overstamped in the same ink to make my own BP.  The embossed panel was made using the Tied Together folder, and the bead pins, I made myself.

Closer look at the image.

Winter Wonderland Challenge

A new challenge has just started over on Winter Wonderland where the theme is 'Easel Cards', any shape and size as long as it's an easel card and of course is a Christmas card.  Our sponsor is The Hobby House with a  £10 voucher up for grabs for the lucky winner.

Here's my DT card.

I used a Go Kreate die to cut the shape for this one, just for a change from the usual square..... lol.  The image is one of the Snowy's from Teddy Bo, coloured with ProMarkers.  The BP is from Pink Petticoat and the snowflakes were cut on my Cameo.

ILPM's #175

For this weeks challenge over on I ♥ ProMarkers, we want you to take inspiration from a photo for your entries.  Our sponsor is the fab Polka Doodles with a great CD as a prize.

Here's the photo.

And here's my DT card.

The image is one I've had for a long time, I'm sure it's from the Scrap Book Society.  The BP is from Nitwits, the flowers were cut with a mix of dies and cutter, the border is a Cheery Lynn Die.

And the usual closeup..... lol.

Just Inklined to Hop!

It's the first Monday of the month and that means it time for a Hop over on Just Inklined.  The theme the DT had to follow for this one is, Stars, Rhinestones & Twine.  Don't forget to leave comments on all the DT blogs to be in with a chance of winning a prize, we'll have 2 lucky winners chosen from all the comments left.

If you're taking part in our Hop, you  should've arrived here from Lori's Blog and now you need to pay Joyce's  Blog a visit.

Here's my DT card.

This image is called 'Peony' and you can buy and download it HERE.  I used to have a Peony it was the darkest red I've ever seen, that was the inspiration I used for the colours of this card.  Sadly I had to take it out as it just got too big for my little bit of garden.... But it now thrives in my best friends garden and has done for years now.

I coloued the image with ProMarkers, cut the stars on my Cameo and I made my own twine by using a ProMarker to add the colour to some white crochet thread.
