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.
