Sparkle Time

 Our new challenge started today over at Creative Moments, with the optional theme of add some sparkle. Here is my card:

I started the card by making the background using Tim Holtz distress oxide inks on plastic wrap. I sprayed four different colours and then pressed the card against the plastic to pink the pigment, and the dye, up. I coloured the image using promarkers and pencil crayons before fussy cutting. I coloured the dress with a nuvo sparkle paste. Finally I added insect stickers that are glittery. I left the top left area clear for a sentiment.

Winter Wonderland

 We have a new challenge started today over at MAWTT, with the theme of Winter Wonderland.

Here is my DT creation for the challenge.

I used my distress oxide sprays to create the background. I used three sprays, pink raspberry, iced spruce and another red colour. I sprayed the inks onto a plastic wrap that had been scrunched and then pressed the card blank into the wrap. As this was a dark green card blank only the pigment remains visible with the dye soaking into the base card, making a snow-like background. I then added a topper image and sentiment to finish.

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

Animals in winter

 Hi guys,

We have a new challenge started today over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of animals.

I have made this card:

The image was coloured with Promarkers only and then die-cut using a die from the works. I added this to a dark green card blank and then simply added snowflakes and a foiled sentiment to finish the card.

Shaped card and Circles

 Well we are in the middle of October already and we have a new challenge just started over at I Love Promarkers, with the optional theme of Shaped cards or circles. I decided to use both on my card this time.

I coloured the image from Dr Digi using Promarker pens before fussy cutting. I used the X-cut nesting large labels dies to shape my base card. I layered some scalloped circles, cut from patterned paper using X-cuts scalloped circles nesting dies, and a die from Marianne Creatables for the sun shaped circle.

Mister Chucky

 I finally put another page of my pet scrapbook together. Unfortunately I no longer have this parrot as I gave him to a parrot rehoming service when him and my now ex-husband starting grating on each other. As you can see from this scrapbook page this wasn't always the case, and this is one of the better memories that I managed to photograph of this little character.

I used a sketch from AHSC for the layout.

Wings to dazzle

 Hi guys,

Our new challenge started today over at Creative Moments with the optional theme of wings and things, and I have made this card with an image from our wonderful sponsor, Mirtillamente.

I coloured my image using promarkers and then die-cut using an x-cut oval nesting die. I die-cut a patterned butterfly paper from a pack I got with a magazine using the scalloped circles x-cut nesting dies. I layered these two together on a pink card base. To finish I added some butterfly stickers in purple and green.

Seahorse duo

 Hi guys,

I made this card a little while ago but never got round to sharing it.

I used a die I have had for a while but have never used that I got from the Range (the seahorse die). I then used my x-cut nesting stitched square dies to create matts for the seahorses, in gold glitter and pale pink cards. I simply layered all the matts together to finish the card.

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

AYLI - Square or not - I like square designs as I find the symmetry very pleasing, although I do find they can be a difficult shape to work with sometimes.
