HEY HOW ARE YOU

Hello and here we are again with another one stop craft challenge and this week we have a sketch for our inspiration.Our sponsor is Kenny  K Downloads as well as some candy kindly donated by fellow design team member Andreja.
I could not resist this cute kitty digi stamp as I know there are many of you out there who just love your cats.I have kept the card pretty simple using the sketch for the background elements.

The sentiment means this card could be for a get well card or just saying hello and getting in touch with a long lost friend.
 
Once again I have used my Promarkers for colouring the image and then added a few flower embellishments around the edge of the image.
I do hope you can join us for this week's challenge and look forward to seeing your creations.

Until the next time take care

LOVE IS IN THE AIR


Love is in the air this week with Valentine's day on Thursday and the theme for this week's challenge over at one stop craft challenge.
 
Our sponsor for this week is "saturated canary"run by the lovely Krista and her images are adorable so for my card I picked this digi image called "Canary Love".

The background is Spellbinders Heart Square cut from pink fun foam and then cut in half across the diagonal and placed at opposite corners.The wonderful image was coloured with Promarkers and the sentiment was stamped using Waltzingmouse "Compact Family" and "Fancy Phrases".

To finish off the card I added a few of the little left over hearts from the die cutting and now I will be putting in an envelope ready to give hubby on Valentine's Day so till the next time take care and enjoy your weekend.

ANYTHING GOES


Hello and it is time for another challenge over at one stop craft challenge and this week the theme is "Anything Goes".
Our wonderful sponsors for this week's challenge are "Floppy Latte Designs" and for my card I used this lovely digi image "Artsy Flower Design"which I printed off in two sizes using the larger print behind the topper and then again the flower head to add some dimention.
The image was coloured with Promarkers and then added some glitter in the centre and on the edges of the petals.

The edge of the topper was achieved by running a silver marker pen around to form a fine border. A little sentiment stamped on a tag and secured with a blue ribbon finishes the card off nicely.
Hope you get a chance to pop over to one stop craft challenge and join in the fun so until the next time take care as always

LADYBUG WITH FLOWERS



Hello again and another wet and very windy day outside so back inside for some more crafting I mean what else can a girl do on a day like this.
 
Today a card with one of my favourite images from tiddly inks called Spring Hugga-Bugga which is a very apt name for such a cute image. I coloured the image using promarkers and then on the wings used a glue pen and covered the wings in tiny dots covered with glitter.

For the flowers I used K&Company Designer papers Roam and  Spellbinders Jewel Flowers and Flourishes and finished off in the centres with buttons.
 
I will be entering this card into the challenge over at tiddly inks "Wings" and cas-ual fridays blog "Make Your Mark".
Thanks for checking in and your comments are most welcome.

BUTTERFLY KISSES



Good evening and glad to report the thaw set in and the snow we got Friday has nearly all disappeared but unfortunately this means that some places in the UK will be flooded again due to the thaw. On to my card for today and another bright and cheery colour scheme inspired by the challenge over at colour q,
 

You can't go wrong with butterflies and flowers and for this I used Spellbinders "Butterflies Circles" and "Jewel Flowers and Flourishes. What I love about  the circle die is the fallout butterflies you get once you die cut so with three other colours of cardstock used these to fill back in the fallout butterfly areas.

The sentiment is from Fiskars Clear Stamps "Butterfly Magic" and stamped using a Versa Color ink pad in Orange.





Enjoy the rest of what is left of you weekend and take care
