“Fresh Cut” Card

This is the card I made for the Designed2Delight challenge. I printed the image directly onto my card blank, coloured it with coloured pencils (blended with baby oil) and made the sentiment myself. I quite like this one, very clean and simple.

Summer Days

I made this card for the Designed2Delight challenge. I'm not really sure if I like it, I played around with the background and practised masking. It came out ok...I guess... but I'm still not too sure about it!

Skater Boy

This is my entry for the Designed2Delight weekly challenge. I used promarkers to colour him in (and to add a little pattern to his skate board) and the backing paper is downloaded from the Clip Art Fairy. I made the sentiment on my computer.

Animal Antics

I made this for a friend for her birthday and though it would be ideal to enter into the Lili of the Valley Animal Antics Challenge. I stamped my image with memento ink and coloured it with colour pencils (Fabel Castell polychromos - Burnt Carmine, Burnt Umber & Cold Grey IV) I blended the pencil with a blending stump and  baby oil! It worked really well considering this was my first attempt. I added some bakers twine, a sentiment (from Pink Petticoat) and a little glossy accents & glitter to finish it off.

This is my card for the Designed2Delight progressive challenge. I actually managed to enter for the whole month...yay me!

Sentiment is form TLC and I coloured with promarkers and added a little glamour dust for sparkle.

'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!
