At the seaside

 It is getting towards the end of summer, and so I decided to make a beach themed card on my day off (as I found some of my beach decoupage).

I used a vellum backing paper for a delicate effect of seashells. Then I layered a mirror card onto this. I added the decoupage topper of the girls collecting seashells to the side and then added the number to the silver mirror card.

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

Patterned floral wreath

 We still have two weeks for you to play along with our challenge over at Creative Moments (and as the weather is getting poor again, what better excuse :) ).

Here is my reminder card for the blog:

The image was precoloured so I simply printed and die-cut into a circle (overlapping thos bits that were outside of the die frame). I used two different patterned paper blocks that I got from The Range previously, turquoise and purple. I then used peel-offs to finish the card.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

TIOT - Make it feminine

MTTC #541 Something tree related (leaves on the patterned papers, and wood for wreath)

Thanks for looking, and I can't wait to see what you create for our challenge!

In the Jungle

 Hi guys,

Our blog post was a little delayed this week over at I Love Promarkers, however it is now live and the optional theme is 'In the Jungle'.

Our sponsor is Paper Nest Dolls Digis.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and then fussy cut this out. I backed a plain base card with some patterned paper from a magazine free gift. I then added a toucan sticker to increase the jungle feel of the card.

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

613 Avenue Create - Easy Livin'

AYLI - Fav colouring medium - my main colouring medium is alcohol markers. I do use other mediums, but this is the one I have more experience with and so am more comfortable with.

Thanks for looking,

Three layers to the heart

 I have made a multi-layered card based on a sketch to share with you tonight.

I started with a blue base card, then added a purple music notation paper. Over this I added a pink patterned paper and then a die-cut heart with an embossed pattern in the centre. I added a flat back heart pearl to the centre of this and then added a peel-off heart.

The sketch I followed is this one from Cheerful Sketches.

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

ColorMyHeart #614 Three colours from the image

DoubleTrouble #173 3-2-1 recipe (3 layers - 2 embellishments [heart and sticker] - 1 image [embossing on heart])

Patterned Bunny

 Hi all,

Our new challenge started yesterday at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of simply to use patterned paper. I used both the free digital patterned paper that came with my image from Beccys Place, and one from my stash.

I layered the image onto the paper before printing and then coloured the image with promarker pens. I then layered this onto a cupcake paper before adding the birthday sentiment peel-offs.

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

PFP #752 Add a sentiment

ATSM #474 Any Occasion (birthday)

AYLI - bugs, feathers or fur - I just love using peoples pets are cards

Summer in the Garden

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge started today at MAWTT, with the theme of summer fun. I chose to make a garden themed card using Country Companions decoupage.

I just used the decoupage topper pieces to create the image and one of the sentiments from the pack - so nice and easy for this one.
