'One of a kind'

I made this card for the 'Last but not least' monthly challenge. I think I have met all the criteria...

             *CASE Teresa’s card 

               (I sort of followed the sketch and the colour scheme)

             *use only one sentiment stamp 

             *create you card with the designer paper as the focal point

             *and Last But Not Least…..add in some pearls 

I used Papermania DP and a Hero Arts sentiment stamp. The singled out owl has glossy accents on him (can't really see it it the photo) and a foam pad behind him to add dimension. I also used my new EK success punch for the first time.

I was lucky enough to win last months challenge (my first ever win!) so I just had to enter again this month!

Bullfrogs & Butterflies

For this weeks progressive challenge at Designed2Delight I made an easel card. I love doing easel cards and should use this technique more often as it looks good.
I used the digital stamp (available in their shop if you haven't joined in the challenge this month) Bullfrogs & Butterflies. I coloured with promarkers (as usual) and used Pink Petticoat spotty papers (also as usual!). I added a bit of yellow ribbon and used glossy accents on the frog.

Balancing Act

This is my card for the Designed2delight challenge using the balancing act digi stamp. I wanted to do something other than red for the bugs and thought these colours worked quite well.

Edit - I made the top 10 on the blog for my card! Yay!

Garden party Mice

This is my new entry for the Designed2Delight progressive challenge using the Garden Party digital stamp. I'm going to try and enter all month long this time!
I coloured the image with promarkers, used Pink Petticoat backing paper and added a sentiment from DigiStamp Boutique.

Bloom...

This is my entry into the weekly challenge at Designed2Delight. Coloured (as usual) with my promarkers, although I don't like the way I've done the butterflies and the brown on the watering can looks darker in real life!

A little Smooch?

I came across a challenge on the Make it Crafty blog and it sounded like such fun that I had to join.

The idea is to combine Mo's image 'Little Smooch'  with 'The Kissing Booth' from Make it Crafty.

I combined the two images using Page plus 9 and printed them out. I coloured with promarkers, found a ticket stamp, made some bunting and stuck it altogether. 

I quite like the end result but I didn't really mean for it to be so yellow!

Patchwork Flower

This is my card for the Design2Delight using the digital stamp Ladybug Bloom.
I paper pieced the flower with different papers (from Pink Petticoat...again!), coloured the ladybug with my promarkers and added some glossy accents to her wings. I wanted to keep it fairly simple so I printed the main image directly onto my card blank. I had a picture of this card in my head last night before I went to bed,  and all day I've been waiting to put it to paper!

Brown and Blue

Wow, 3 posts in one day, that has to be some kind of record for me!

I made this card for the Michelle Perkett colour challenge with one of her images from her esty shop. The theme (or colour) is brown and blue. It was fun figuring out how to best use the colours with the image I wanted to use. I coloured the image with promarkers and used Pink Petticoat papers for the background.

I love using PP digital paper because you can print out the colour palette and then match up the paper you want to your project. I never though I would use digital papers half as much as I do, I always thought they were a waste of my precious printer ink. But now I love using them. When I can't always find exactly what I want in my DP paper stash and having a good range of digital papers is really helpful.

Get Even.

I made this card with 2 challenges in mind.
Show me some Attitude - at Mo's Challenge Blog
and the challenge at Color Throwdown where you have to use the following 3 colours -

It was fun using colours that I wouldn't usually put together and I love using Mo's digital stamps (from her shop). The green card is from my stash and the polka dot is digital paper from Pink Petticoat

Quick edit to say that the digital sentiment is a freebie from here... Create with TLC. I think I had to scroll though a fair few posts to get to it but I picked up some gems along the way so it's well worth the hunt! x

Catch a bug?

I've made this easel card for the Designed 2 Delight challenge. Usually if you play along all month you get a free digital stamp each week. I have a tendency to forget to post the card I've made (that's happened twice now!) so I bought this image to enter the challenge. I really like this little bug jar, it's just so cute!
I  coloured the bugs with promarkers, added glossy accents to their shells (wings?) and stuck everything on with foam pads. I think I'll just make it in on this challenge!
