Butterflies

 Good evening all,

I made this card for our challenge over at MAWTT, however I then realised I had used the incorrect theme and my card making stuff is since packed away for moving house. So I wasn't able to use this card for the challenge blog, but I still wanted to share it with you all.

I thought the theme was butterflies, when in fact it is Trains, Planes and Automobiles - do pop over to the blog to see what the DT have made. In the meantime here is my incorrect card:


I started by layering a piece of black card onto a white card blank. As I wanted a chalkboard effect I used some white die-cuts from my stash of a flower and a butterfly. I then added a butterfly peel-off on the white section, which is a black glitter peel-off. Finally I added a domed sentiment.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
MMM #221 Spring/flowers/weather
TIOT - Spring
AYLI - Monochrome or Colourful- While I find colourful easier to do, I do like the simple elegance of a monochromatic card
craftycatz #667 Monochrome

Thanks for looking,

Flora and fauna

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge started today over at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of 'Flora and fauna'.

I used both in my card.


I coloured the image with a mix of promarkers and chameleon pens, then simply layered it onto a foiled base card.

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

MMM #221 Spring/flowers/weather

TIOT - Spring

AYLI - monochrome or colourful - I actually find monochrome really difficult to do as I like to use a variety of colours in my work

Thanks for looking and we hope to see you joining in our challenge.

Love and hearts

 Hi guys,

We have a new challenge over at I Love Promarkers, with an optional theme of love and hearts. Our sponsor is Hetty Clare and I have used an image that I am unable to find in the shop for my card.


I coloured her using the following promarker pens: Warm Grey 2, warm grey 5, cool grey 5, cardinal red, hot pink, rose pink, dusky rose and raw sienna. I then fussy cut the image and layered onto die-cut ovals in a black and white pattern and burgundy.

CAS elegance

 It is time for our mid-way reminder over at Creative Moments. This time I have used a Hetty Clare image for my CAS card.


I coloured her using Chameleon markers and then used an X-cut nesting die to cut the image. I added her to an ombre card base. Finally I stamped the sentiment and heat embossed using a lilac embossing powder.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenge:
AYLI - Feminine or Masculine - I find feminine cards so much easier to create

Under the sea

 Hi guys,

We have a new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers. The optional theme for this fortnight is Under the Sea, so I have used a Mermaid image from our sponsor  Heather Valentin - Colour of Love .


I coloured the image with a combination of promarkers and Chameleon pens. As this was a rectangle design I didn't need to do much else - I simply used an under the sea themed patterned paper to attach a peel-off sentiment too, and another sheet from the paper pad to decorate the front of the envelope.

CAS flowers

 Hi guys,

We had a new challenge start yesterday over at Creative Moments (I am a little late with my blog post!). Our optional theme for February is CAS. We have two sponsors for this challenge - Hetty Claire and Mirtillamente. I have used a Mirtillamente image - Flowerz #2.


I coloured the image using my Chameleon pens and then die-cut using X-cut large labels nesting dies. I used the next size up to cut a matt from patterned paper before layering onto a scalloped base card. Finally I added the peel-off sentiment stickers.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
audsentiments #310 playing the use dies option
TIOT - hearts or flowers
ATSM #461 Make your mark
AYLI - digi or stamps - as much as I do love using my stamps, digis are much easier to get right! Therefore, I do use digital images much more often.

Thanks for looking,

Easter Carrots

 Hi all,

We had a new challenge start yesterday over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of 'Easter', which is sponsored by  Paper Nest Dolls Digis.


I coloured Owen using promarkers, and then used a nested label die from X-cuts to create the topper. I layered a scalloped card with a patterned paper that looks like the sunshine and then layered the image on top f this. To finish I sta,ped the sentiment onto teal card and heat embossed using heat it up embossing powder.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:
MMM #218 Use patterned paper
ATSM #461 Make you mark
