DDSB #51 - Anything Goes

This weeks challenge over on Digi Doodle Shops Best is the very popular 'Anything Goes'.
Here's my DT card.
I thought I'd do a twisted easel card for this one, but not too sure I like them or not. I like my cards to be 'balanced' looking and this just doesn't seem that way to me.Close up of the image which is coloured with ProMarkers, I also added quite a bit of sparkle...... as usual..... lol.

The theme for our new challenge over on I ♥ ProMarkers is 'Babies'. We're being sponsored this week by Di's Digi Downloads and the prize is 5 digi downloads of the winners choice. Myself and the other DT girls each used images from Di's.

Here's my DT card.I was asked to make a Christening card so this was very handy.......lol I cut the card shape with my Grand Calibur using Go Kreate dies. The flowers are punched and the scrolly parts are cut using a Mariannes Creatable die. I added a little bit of glitter to the flowers, but it's not really showing up in the picture.

DCD Christmas Club #56

This weeks challenge over on Die Cut Dreams has just started and our theme is 'Inspired by a Christmas Song'. You must tell us in your post what Christmas song has inspired you to make your card.
We're being sponsored by the lovely Roberta at Prarie Fairy this week so we got to use their images. The prize is 5 images of your choice from her online store.
Here's my DT card, and the Christmas song is 'Sleigh Ride'I'm not sure what the style of this card is called. I made one like this at work earlier this week and really liked it, so thought I'd make it again for this challenge. I'm sure the style of this card was made by Debbi originally. I'm going to put a tutorial together over the weekend for this one, so be sure to pop back to check. The pictures aren't so good because there's an acetate front on this card and I couldn't get a good picture without some reflection.
The image is coloured with PM's and the papers are from the Crystal Dreams CD by Debbi Moore Designs. I'm really loving her papers, can you tell...... lol.

Edited to say........
I've just added a tutorial for this card, just click on the Tutorial tab at the top.
