For the girls

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of For the girls. I have used one of the images I had in my stash from our sponsor Paper Nest Dolls.

I coloured my image using promarkers before adding her to a backing paper that was in a magazine. To finish I simply added some peel-off stickers.

Special Lady

 Hey guys,

We have a new challenge started over at Creative Moments for March, and our optional theme is for a special lady. We are sponsored by Mirtillamente, and here is my card.

I coloured the image with promarkers after printing out on a patterned background. I then layered this onto a Kraft base card. I die-cut the butterfly before inking and then added the buttons to finish.

Wings or tails

 Hi guys,

We have a new challenge starting today at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of wings or tails.

I used tails in my image and wings on my papers.

I coloured the image using my Promarkers and then fussy cut. I layered a butterfly patterned paper that originally came from a magazine, although I cannot remember which one, onto an A5 card blank. I die cut some butterflies into the card blank first as the paper is double sided, so when the card is opened you see the other patterned paper on the inside. To finish I added a 3D sentiment.

Gardening Guest Designer spot

 Hey guys,

I got a guest designer spot at Dragonfly Dreams, with the theme of Gardening.

I used a Country Companions card making kit that I have had for a while and never had the opportunity to use. It is an A4 decoupage card, with an central aperture. I had fun layering all the pieces together for this one.

Pets at MAWTT

 Our theme for March over at MAWTT is pets. I did decide to make a card based on conventional pets, but I do not actually own a kitty. My menagerie consists of 2 red-rumped parakeets, 1 hognose snake, 2 bearded dragons, around 60 tarantulas, 4 Guinea Pigs (I lost one of the younger ones last week :() and several types of beetle and isopod.

Anyway - here is my conventional card.

I made an stepper fold card for this one. he front panel is a separate fold to the back part of the card. I layered a paw print paper over the front panel and added a mouse sticker and a peel-off sentiment. I added a panel of black and white striped paper from my odds and ends stash. I added a fish-tank sticker to this panel. To the other side I added a kitty topper.

Sparkle and Shine

 Hey guys,

Our new challenge started this morning over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of sparkle and shine.

Here is my creation using an image from Colour of Love.

I coloured my image using Promarkers and the cut round the frame. I added glitter card is several blues to the card front panels (I went for an easel design for my card base). To finish I added a dragonfly Anita's peel-off. I have left space for a sentiment once it is decided.

Cute with All Dressed Up

 Hi all,

We have a new challenge starting today over at Creative Moments. Our DT have been very busy, so their cards will be shared a little later, so just keep popping over to the blog to see what they have created. As our optional theme is cute, and I think mice are very cute, I used mice on my card.

I coloured the image from All Dressed up, using Promarkers before fussy cutting. I then used a bow, peel-off sentiment, flower and butterfly embellishments to finish off the card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges;

ParkHopping - Hearts and Love (there are hearts between the two mice)

AvenueCreate -Lots of Love

TIOT - Romance
