Twinkle Brr.......

Good Morning all!

It's time for another GDT post for Scribbles Designs

Here's the card I made!

I've used the cute little image #228 Twinkle Brr 

and the sentiment tickets #109 Let It Snow Quote 
I used my Promarkers to colour up the image & Sakura Glaze & Glitter
pens for the little lights. I inked the edges with a liquid chalk ink pad.

The layout for my card is based on the sketch 



from Stick it Down

The papers are from my stash.

I used foam pads to pop up one end of each sentiment ticket,

 for a bit of dimension. I also popped the layered snowflakes 

up on foam pads too, then aded a little gem at the centre.

Thanks for looking!

Don't forget to check out the Scribbles Designs Challenge Blog

Christmas Is Coming

Good morning all!

It'sMonday again!!!

The weeks are zipping by & I still haven't got myself as organised as I should 

be for Christmas this year! However, I'm beginning to clear my feet & feel 

like I'm getting there slowly!

 "Christmas is coming"

is this weeks theme for the challenge over at Eureka Stamps!

Here's my little card!

Have you got your tree up yet?
I'm putting it off for as long as possible because I fear my kitties
may well be just like the image I have used this week

Digi 22304 Kitty In Lights
Isn't he just the cutest?
I love that cheeky grin on his face!
I've used a 6x6 inch base card. I decided to go with yellow,
one of the colours I picked out of the background paper.
I used my Sakura Glaze pens to colour the lights & a
Light Fawn Flexmarker, to colour up the kitty!

A bit of matting & layering & a border punched with a Martha Stewart punch.

The sentiment was simply done on my PC.

The little sparkly bow just landed there when I was messing about,

so I decided just to add it where it was!

Thanks for popping in to look at my little card today!

I hope you like it!

Christmas Sparkle

Hello everyone, two posts from me today!

A while back, I was lucky enough to win a challenge at UnstampaBelles.

Part of my prize was an invitation to be GDT with them for a month.

The theme for the December challenge is

"Sparkle & Make Us Smile"

You can create something all sparkly for Christmas, not necessarily a card 

We all end up with glitter all over us and the creative space anyway at this time of the year

so go for it!

The twist is to make us (the readers) smile!

This can be with your project or with your post about that project!

Prize:

A $20 Aust. Gift Voucher to an on-line shop of choice

(must be able to issue gift vouchers)

Here's my card!

I used a white 6"x6" base for my card.

I cut some glittered card stock using a Lawn Fawn Die,

silver for the snowscape & blue for the night sky.

I added a die cut, white glittery circle, cut with a spellbinders circle die

for a moon, then added some EK Success punched white glittery reindeer.

The snowflakes are punched, and the sentiment is a glittery peel off. 

I also gave my lead reindeer a red gem nose!

This card lurked about in my head for a while & it was good to get it made up

 I'm glad to say I was happy with the results!

Thanks for popping over, I hope you like my card!

I hope you'll play in the challenge too!

Just remember not to use a stamp, rubber or digi!

Christmas Tags

Good morning all! It'sMonday already!

The weeks are flying in!

It's time once again for a brand new challenge over at Eureka Stamps!

Our theme for this week is:

#169 Christmas Tags

Here's my little tag:

The image I've used is 2501 Cat With Garland & I've also used the 

sentiment 23703 Meowy Christmas. (I've rotated to make it straight),

I used Kraft cardstock & a spellbinders tag die for the base tag.

I then used some sequin waste as a mask & daubed gold pigment ink & red

liquid chalk ink through in slightly different areas, to give a feeling of added dimension

The image was coloured in areas using alcohol markers.

I used a scalloped oval to cut it out & edged everything with the gold ink.

The image & sentiment were popped up on foam pads for dimension,

then I added some fibres, ribbon, gold braid & a little jingle bell

to finish it off.

You can see the gold shimmer a little better in this photo!

Thanks for popping in!

I hope you can play along in our Christmas Tags challenge,

I'd like to enter my little tag in a few challenges:

I've used the image digi 34801 Christmas Kitties & 

sentiment digi 34802 Meowy Christmas

I love this pair together!

My card base is A6 Kraft card.

I added some washi tape,

My image was coloured with my promarkers,

couldn't get the pics I wanted!)

A fairly simple Christmas card (I need millions of these!)

Our sponsor this time is Lacy Sunshine. 

The DT were kindly given images to play with!

The image I have used is - Santa Pickles
The base card is an A6 Kraft card & the DP is by First Edition.
I used a die to cut the shaped end. 

I coloured Pickles using Promarkers, trimmed the image then edged with a 

Colour Q liquid chalk inkpad then matted on to some Kraft card stock

I used some Washi tape from my stash to add a border, then

finished with some buttons threaded with twine!

The snowflake fell on to the card when I was rummaging about in my

Just Inklined To Hop With Ribbon

Good Morning all,

It's the first Monday of the month which means it's time for the 

Just Inklined Blog Hop!

(If you're looking for my Ooh La La Creations post,

please scroll down to the next post!)

I am your host this time & the theme is Ribbon!

Here is what I created.

The image I've used is Kissing Robins.

I've used this image already but I love it so much I just had to use it again!

If you're in a hurry to hop on then please do, but don't foget to leave a little love

at each stop because we always have a little spot prize or two

 to give away to someone who leaves a comment

Your next stop on the hop is Nicole, whom I'm sure has created 

something awesome for you to drool over.

I don't think you'll get lost as we are still quite thin on the ground but 

here is the hop order should you want it!

Dawn, (that's me)

Nicole, 

Tammy, 

Gaynor

If you want to know more about my card, please read on.

I used a "Vintage Linen" distress marker & flexmarkers to colour the image.

I also inked pretty much all of the paper elements with Vintage Linen distress ink.

The papers I used are from the First Edition Christmas Village stack.

The striped ribbon is from Lidl & the lace was from my stash, I

have no idea where this partcular piece came from, everything I've used
on this card has been in my stash for at least a year or two even!
It's great to have the chance to use things up!
I'm loving these muted colours & tones at the moment.

I used a grand nestie sqaure die, to cut the main DP, & used the section I cut off

for the panel at the top. The DP is actually double sided so worked really well.

The scallops were created with a punch & the embossed sentiment was cut

from a scrap of DP from the same stack.

I hope you like my card.

Honeycomb The Bear

Good Morning lovely blog peeps!

 Happy Thursday to you all, nearly the weekend!

It's been quite a week here so far so I'm looking forward to a bit of normality!

Being Thursday, it's time for me to share a Just Inklined Card with you!

The cute little guy I have used this time is 

 Honeycomb The Bear

isn't he just adorable!

Here's a closer look!

Don't say I told you but.... this is one of the free images available over at 

Just Inklined

Make sure you pop on over & check out all of the images!

I know there are several new ones available!

I coloured up Honeycomb with a mix of promarkers & flexmarkers.

To match the paper I have used, which is from Papermania. 

I got the pack a couple of years ago & they were a life saver!

I've inked all the edges with distress ink, die-cut some snowflakes which were also

 inked & layerd then added a double bow with some ribbon from my stash

Tip: I decorated the inside of the card too!

 I just love doing this as it's more fun than a plain insert,

 it also helps to balance the card out too!!

Thanks for popping in & I hope you like my card!

Owl The Same Or Not

Good morning bloggers!

The card I have to share with you today is part of a special event!

Read on for the details about the event & I'll tell you about my card a bit later on!

The title of the event is.....Owl the Same or Not

At Just Inklined, they take Copyright very seriously! 

They got together with a group of artists & decided to create a digital stamp on 

the same theme, to show just how different they would be!

The theme was to draw: 

A big owl & a little owl perched on a fence, on a chilly day.

(All proceeds from the sale of the $1 digital images used in the event

will be given to fundraising for a worthy cause.)

Chilly Owls & Wording Digital Stamp Set (which I've used for my card)

will be available at Just Inklined for $1 until 17th October 2013

There will be a blog hop on each of the company sites showing all of the designs.

Make sure you go & have a look at them.

Not only will it be interesting to see how different they all are but each one of the

designs will be available to buy for just $1 for a limited time!

Here's the link to the blog hop.

Now, on to my card!

I made an A6 tent fold card using Kraft card as my base.

I intend to use this card as a Christmas card but I guess the image

would be suitable for other occasions too!

I coloured the image in soft tones using my usual mix of flexmarkers

& promarkers. I then die cut the image & inked with distress inks

whilst it was still in the die. I added a few little touches of glitter

with my Clear Star Sakura pen but you can't really see it in the photo.

I matted onto a scalloped circel of Kraft card.

I ran some DP through my Big Shot in a (possibly Cuttlebug)

snowflake embossing folder.

I inked the embossed paper lightly with the DI too.

The sentiment was die cut & also inked with DI.

I then threaded some sheer ribbon & seam binding through the slots

& added to the card.

Just a little side view to finish up!

Make sure you visit Just Inklined to hear more about the event & the blog hop

but don't forget to snag yourself some fab images for just $1 too!

It's time for the latest challenge at Dude Time Doodles.

This week is an Inspiration Challenge

Here's my card!

We'd like to see you make a Holiday Creations for a man,

your project can be either Christmas/Hannukah!

I made a twisted easel card using kraft card for my base.

The papers are from the Black & Silver Christmas Background Paper 

pad by Southfield Stationers. I think these colours are just right

for making cards for men!

The image I've used is Bloodhound Christmas, it's available in the 

Dude Time Doodles store

Every time I look at that image, it reminds me of the mayhem & fun

which results in our family get together's at Christmas!

Always a real hoot I have to say! lol

I coloured my image with Promarkers & Flexmarkers

then distressed the edges with a Colourbox chalk inkpad.

Here's another view.

I kept my card simple, matting the design papers with

plain black paper. I then made some little corners with a snowflake paper

& I used the sentiment as the stop for my easel section. 

The ribbon trim was a gift, I'm not sure how well

you can see it in the photo but it's black & silver too!

A Christmas Fish For You!

Good morning all!

It's Thursday & today I'm sharing a Just Inklined creation with you!

The image I have used is A Christmas Fish isn't he just fab?

The base card is Kraft cardstock from Southfields

For my layout, I used the sketch from 

Sunday Sketch & Stamp

I coloured him up with Promarkers & Flexmarkers the used a 

Sakura Clear Star pen to highlight some areas.

 Not sure if you can see my glittery bits in the photo.

The papers I have used were digital & have been printed out in my stash 

for ever.I think they are from Scrapbookingmad,

The plain red paper was in a spiral bound pad, again from Southfields.

 When I tore a sheet out, I liked the effect of the tabs,

 so I decided to keep them on!

I inked all the edges with a gold inkpad.

I hope you like my little creation!

Thanks so much for popping in, it's always nice to see you!
