CAS with wings

 Hey guys,

Our challenge went live late over at Creative Moments, as I lost track of time, however it is live now and our optional theme, sponsored by the lovely Sheepski, is CAS, and here is my card using 'Steampunk and Gothic':

I coloured the image using Promarker pens and then fussy cut it out. It overhangs the KRAFT card base just nicely making the image pop a little more than it would otherwise, and giving a feeling of flight. I then added some peel-offs to finish the design, keeping it very clean otherwise. I didn't add a sentiment as I think this is a card that can be used for various occasions.

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

Under the sea

 Hey there,

Our new challenge starts today at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of - Under the Sea. 

I coloured my mermaid with a combination of Promarkers and Chameleon pens. I then used a 3x3 paper pad from The Range, with a sea theme, to add two different patterned papers to the card before adding my image.

Spring Flowers

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge for April, over at MAWTT, is Spring Flowers. This is perfect as the garden is now in full bloom and looking lovely, with lots of insects life. I even saw my first two butterflies at the weekend - one peacock and one red admiral. Here is my card.

I used a Hunkydory foiled pyramage kit and then simple added a strip of glitter paper and a sentiment. I think these designs are simply stunning.

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)

On the Farm

 Hey guys,

Our new challenge starts today over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of 'on the farm'.

Here is my card featuring Alice the Alpaca from our sponsor Dr Digi.

I coloured the image using both Promarkers and Chameleon pens before fussy cutting. I then simply layered onto a patterned paper from The Range.

Things with Wings

 We have a new challenge starting today over at MAWTT. This month I got to choose the theme and I went for Things with Wings.

Here is my creation.

I used a patterned paper to make a layer on the base card. I then stamped a dragonfly in pink ink onto the dark background paper. The image did not show up as well as I had hoped, so I used a peel-off over the top of this. I then used another butterfly sticker and some flower stickers.

Turtle in the Spring

 Hi guys,

We have a new challenge starting today at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of Springtime. Do pop over to the blog to find details of our sponsor and see other images being used. However, for my card I have used one of the Springtime turtles from the set.

I made a gatefold card with a purple base card and layered a panel of patterned card to the front to overlap the panels when the card is closed. I then fussy cut the turtle and the sentiment that goes woth it and added this to the front panel after colouring with promarkers. I then added peel-off butterflies to the front panel and the inside left panel which opens against the layer.

Winter Blues

Our first challenge over at Creative Moments in 2025 is a just for fun one - although the DT favourite playing the twist will still win some peel-offs. Our theme is always anything goes - this month the twist is Winter Blues. We also have some exciting news and a DT call, so do pop over to the blog itself.

I kept it simple, using some foam stickers and peel-offs for my card.

Flowers

 Hi there,

Our new challenge over at I Love Promarkers has started this morning, with the optional theme of Flowers. I made a card to remind me that Spring is just around the corner.

I coloured the image with my Chameleon marker pens and then lined the edges with a Papermania Orange watercolour marker. To finish I simply added some border peel-offs.

Thank you

 Hi there,

Our first challenge of 2025 starts today over at MAWTT, with the theme of Thank You. I decided to try a new card fold for mine.

The card can open several different ways to give different views of the panels. As it is still supposed to be Winter (although I think it thinks it is Autumn with all the rain!), I went for an overall winter theme for my thank you card.

If I had thought about it I could have done a progress photo board, but I didn't until I had finished :(
