Christmas Joy

 Hi all,

It is time for our reminder post for Creative Moments, where our optional theme is to use the sketch.

I have gone with a Christmas card this time.


I coloured the image using Promarkers and then also outlines the image with a Promarker. I simply cut it square. I used a gold metallic ink pad from the Range to make a circle in the background. Then I added a strip of patterned paper from my scraps box to the left hand side. I layered the image over the circle and then added a bauble sticker. The sketch we are playing with is this one:

Masculine birthday bear

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge started yesterday over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of Masculine.

Here is the card I made with a SheepSki Designs image.


I coloured the image with a combination of Promarkers and Chameleon pens. I then simply cut the image out and matted it onto a pearlescent green card before layering onto a KRAFT card blank.

Sketch challenge

 Hi all,

We have a new challenge started today over at Creative Moments with the option to use the sketch for your creation.


This is my card using an image from Patties Creations, and here is the sketch.
I coloured the flamingos using Chameleon pens and then used an X-cut scalloped circle die to make the topper. I placed this onto a pink base card and used a sentiment for the overlapping stripe. I then used mosaic tiles for the final accents from the sketch.

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

CAS butterfly elegance

 Hey guys,

We have a new challenge started today over at MAWTT, with the theme of CAS. Here is my DT creation for this challenge.


I used some metallic ink pads that I got from The Range and a circle die-cut aperture to colour an aurora like circle in the centre of the card. I then simply added a topper over this aura.

CAS floral sketch

 Hey guys,

I have actually managed to make a card that is not for a DT post. I went CAS and followed a sketch (see below).


I used a metallic green ink pad and an oval stencil. I then simply added a pre-coloured topper.

The sketch used is from AHSC #583

Pink, blue and yellow colour scheme

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge started yesterday over at I Love Promarkers. The optional theme for the next two weeks is to use the colours listed in my blog title. Check out the blog to see prize and sponsor information.

I have used Pretty Poseykin Troll  for my card.


The image was coloured using promarkers, then added to a yellow panel. This was layered onto a white base card with scalloped edges. I then added two yellow scalloped squares on two corners, one having a pink flower topper on it. To the other bottom corner I added a blue panel and a blue and pink swift topper. The sentiment can be added to the second yellow square.

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

Men and Boys reminder post

 We are now halfway through challenge #259 at Creative Moments, which has the optional theme of Men and Boys. Here is my card using an image from our second sponsor Mirtillamente.



I coloured the bear using promarkers and I added a glitter button to one ear. I simple used a foiled die-cut sentiment and added this, and the fussy cut image, to a KRAFT card base. Please check out the blog post to see the rest of the DT creations.

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