Dancing Queen

Hi all,

Here I am again, with this weeks DT card for the challenge over at 

QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes.

For my card this week, I've used the image

Dancing Cow Digi #15612

She's such a dancing queen don't you think?

I sang that song all the while I was making this card! Lol

I coloured the image with my Promarkers as usual.

I die cut the image, leaving the tail out of the die.

The papers are from my stash.

I did the sentiment on my PC & die cut then trimmed.

I hope you can play along in the challenge, which is always anything goes.
Each week, we select two winners  1 using QKR Stampede or Eureka Stamps image and 

1 using any image!

I'd like to add my card to the following challenges:

Hi all,

I'm back again this week with my DT card for the challenge
 over at  QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes

The image I have used for my CAS card is

Bandaged Cat Digi #14911
He's just perfect for a Get well Soon card as he looks so sad!

The base card is A6 tent fold in grey card.

I coloured the image with promarkers then added some

ribbon from my stash & a bit of card candi!

I do like a CAS card but I always have to add a little something!

I hope you can play along in the challenge, which is always anything goes.

Mouse Knight Birthday

It's time for this weeks DT card for the challenge over at

This week, I've made a Birthday Card using the wonderful
Mouse Knight Digital Stamp Digi1603

I coloured the image using promarkers, I just delved in to my box & pulled
out a few colours that I liked then found some papers to match!
The button has been in my stash for a while & I thought
it went perfectly with the image so had to add it!
I made the sentiment on the PC!

Hi all,

I'm back this week with my DT card for the challenge over at 

QKR Stampede

where the challenge is always Anything Goes

This week, I've made a Christmas card using

Sledding Bear digi#15906

I used the plaid paper as I wanted to create a card which would 

be suitable for a man. It looks so cosy too!

The image was coloured with promarkers & the star & baubles on the tree 

were highlighted using my Sakura Glaze pens.

For the layout, I followed the sketch from  Create a Smile

and, as I wanted to keep it simple I didn't add many embellishments,

just a few little bits of card candi!

I used a font called Mountains Of Christmas to create the sentiment

I hope you can play along in the challenge, which is always anything goes.

Hi Guys,

I'm back again with some samples that I made for the 

Lavender Lister Collection  by Splash Crafts

Did you see them on the Create & Craft TV shows.

There really is something for all the girls in your life, whatever 

their age or whatever their interests.

There's something for all crafters too!

A papercrafting kit, dies, papers & stamps

everything you could want whatever level of crafter you are.

This little fairy was cut from the papercrafting kit

with the matching die. The frame was a die from the kit too!

I love the colours & the imges are so cute!

Thanks for popping by!

I'll be back soon with a few more samples to show you! 

Hugs

Happy Birthday Joyce

Good morning peeps!

It's been a while I know! I'm Not getting much time in my craft room 

over the summer months but I did manage to make this little card

for Joyce, my dear Mother In Law's 80th Birthday today.

The base card is 8"x 8".

The papers are from the My Minds Eye, Best of Paisley pad.

The gorgeous image is So Chic For HOLLY, by Rick St Dennis

She's perfect for my MIL as she also  has two poodles!

The image was coloured with a mix of Promarkers & Flexmarkers.

I made the sentiment button in my graphics programme.

I've included it in Png. form below. 

If you'd like it, just click on the pic & save to you computer.

All I ask is please don't share, send your friends over to collect it if they'd like it.

The lace & vintage style seam binding are from my stash.

I used spellbinders circle dies to cut out the image& entiment, then 

distress inked whilst still in the die.

 The fish tail was cut using a square punch.

The inside was decorated too.

Thanks for popping in today, I do appreciate your visit!

The weeks are flying in aren't they!

I just can't believe we are in mid June aleready.

I'm in the middle of trying to sort out my craftroom/spare bedroom

between guests but have taken time out to make this little card.

for the challenge over at Eureka Stamps this week where the theme is

#197 One For The Guys - Masculine or Father's Day Cards

I've used the gorgeous little image

Fawn #13106

Isn't it just adorable!

My mum & dad live just at the edge of an estate & go walking

in a local country park most days. Deer are a common sight, so I thought 

this would be the perfect image for my Father's Day card to my dad!

I used a 6"x6" Kraft card base & Kraft papers which I lightly distressed with some scissors.

The image was coloured with Promarkers then cut using a Spellbinders die.

I added a computer generated sentiment, some twine & some 

scrabble type wooden letters to embellish!

I hope you like it & I look forward to seeing what you create for the challenge

#190 Add Some Bling

Here's my card!

I made a cute little Monochromatic annivesary card using the

Digi 9004(557) Happy Anniversary sentiment & the

Digi 8208 Lovecats image.

Lol, I have two rescue cats who love each other most of the time,

 but regularly beat up on each other just for fun!

I have to say I was singing the song Love Cats in my head,

all the time I was making this

I started with an A6 Kraft base then added a brick embossed panel,

which I brushed over with Tea Dye Distress Ink.

The image was lightly coloured using prisma pencils,

then cut with an Xcut heart die & inked with the Tea Dye DI.

The sentiment was brushed with ink then, image & sentiment were

popped up on some foam tape to add a little dimension.

My added bling is a few little sequins.

I do hope you can play along in this weeks challenge.

 I'd love to see what your added bling is!

Hi everyone!

How's your weekend going? Good I hope!

As you may know, I am currently a Guest Scribbler over at

Scribbles Designs Challenges

Here's my latest card for them!

I made a New Home card for a guy who's just moved in to his first flat!

The cool image I have used is #321 Carl's Pad

(gotta love a cute frog in a pond lol )

The sentiment is my own!

My card base is the usual 6"x6".

I used a mix of Flexmarkers & Promarkers to colour up the image.

The image & sentiment were die cut using spellbinders dies,

then inked with some liquid chalk ink.

The patterened paper is from a book of papers I picked up at Lidl.

The fish tail was created using a square punch on an angle!

I was going to add a couple of buttons but the little bit of trim appeared

 from nowhere & was the right size, so I stuck it on instead.

Thi card is flat which means it can easily be posted.
