Monochrome days

 Well the sky is certainly staying a lovely shade of grey, in keeping with our monochrome twist over at Creative Moments. However, the trees are certainly not with their lovely shades of orange, red and yellow, mixed in with the greens.

Here is my creation, using a Mirtellamente image.


I coloured the images using various shades of pink Promarkers cerise, pastel pink and pink carnation. I then simply cut the image into a rectangle and layered onto a pink base card. I used some border stickers, also in pink, to border the image. I added a bright pink (it does look kinda red on this photo) square, and added a pink glitter peel-off balloon. To finished I added some pink flower and butterfly embellishments.

Shaking Christmas

 Hi guys,

Our challenge is still live for another two weeks over at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of making an interactive card. We do always welcome anything goes creations too.

Here is my reminder card - this time I went for a shaker card.


The image was coloured using Promarkers, then die-cut into a circle. I used a Hunkydory Christmas foiled frame and added acetate to this to create the shaker element. Glitter was added to the centre and thick tape allowed the frame to stand away from the image. Care needs to be taken to ensure that there are no gaps in the adhesive for the frame to work.

Interactive cards

Hi guys,

As you can see I went nice and easy with mine, just making a flap that you open to see the image, however some of the design team have been very creative with their cards. Do pop over to the blog and check them out!

I started by colouring the image with promarkers. I then cut this into a rectangle and then placed this onto a 5x7 base card. I measure the patterned paper and scored the far left to allow the paper to be opened. I then stuck this to the card blank with pink glitter washi tape. To finish I added the excess strip of patterned paper to the left hand side of the card, and birthday stickers to the front.
