'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!
