Passion for Promarkers Week 22 Poppy & Forest Green

This week at the Passion for Promarkers challenge Blog there is a colour challenge Forest Green & Poppy. Using only 2 colours is hard work! how do I get the shading? well I used the foredt green over the poppy red and then went over it again with the poppy red to blend. I used the blender pen to take out some of the colour on the boots for the hi lighted area.

Gift Box - Moving Along with The Times Challenge 17

This week the challenge at Moving Along With The Times is Anything But A Card. As I have just finished making a little gift box I thought I would enter it into the challenge.

I bought the plain box from Hobbycraft for 79p

I used my Nesties Lables Die to cut out a fancy top (sturdy cardboard) for the lid and another from the DP, the same paper I covered the rest of the box with . The DP was bought from Threadbare's shop, It is brilliant for this kind of project as it is quite strong and is double sided

Then out came the distress inks! I also decorated the inside

I then distressed some mulberry roses, sizzix cut leaf and sizzix cut swirls and added some pearls and lace!

Charisma Cardz Challenge 35 Swirls & Curls

The Challenge this week at Charisma Cardz is Swirls & Curls. This is my entry, a baby card I made for a colleague who has a new addition to his family this week. The gorgeous dotty DP is a download from Urban Mermaid Designs and the booties are from a kit by digi scrapping queen. I added a cute ribbon some sizzix swirls and some primas layered with paper roses. I added little flat back pearls to the swirls. I cut the wording on my bug with sizzix round table dies. I cut them from the same dotty card then inked the edges and raised them with foam dst.

Just Magnolia Challenge Week 5

This is the first of two thank you cards I have made for my son to give to his teachers, who he likes, as he is sitting his exams this week and then leaves school. Wow I feel old now lol. I decided to follow the week 5 sketch at Just Magnolia and enter their challenge this week. There are some gorgeous cards by the DT again this week and a fab prize up for grabs too.

Truly Scrumptious Edwin

This card is for the Truly Scrumptious Challenge where there is a fab sketch to follow by the very talented Michele and the theme is a card for a child. It is my best friend's little boy's birthday soon so this card should fit the bill. I also decorated the inner.

3D Poppy

I love this poppy and although it took a couple of hours to cut out and construct this card I really like the results. I used pearl card and embossed the right hand edge and added little flat backed gems to add a little sparkle. I cut the tag and MUM sentiment from vellum with my cuttlebug using sizzix dies. The butterfly is a peel off that I raised the wings of with silicone adhesive. I used silver peel off sentiment on the vellum tag and another butterfly for decoration.
