Relaxing Dave

A quick make last night using one of the Pink Gem Kit cards and a 8x8 pre-folded scalloped card.

Lots of layers here build up to make this 3D card of Dave relaxing in his armchair.

The kit also includes a lovely insert so the card is decorated both inside and out.



These cards are my absolute go to when inspiration fails and a card is requested!

Challenges;
A Gem of a Challenge - Blue
Creative Knockouts - Inside & Out

Daffodils

Like many, one of my favourite Spring flowers has to be the daffodil, so when I saw this lovely stamp over at Power Poppy I had to have it!  What I now need to do is sign up for a Kit and Clowder class and master colouring it better...so this can be the before!



As always colouring is by promarker, but this time I pencil shaded round the image, and I distress inked my edges to make the image and sentiment a bit more prominant.

Challenges;
Passion for Promarkers - Lots of layers
Di's Digi's - Birthday Challenge
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends - Anything Goes

Thanks a Latte!

i made this card last week for one of the birthday challenges over at bugaboo - but speed reading caught me and when I went to upload my card I realised I hadn't followed the colour theme! what a muppet!

so the card was ditched and a new one made, and as luck would have it, the very next day Bugaboo uploaded a new challenge and my card fits! How good is that!!!



So a latte with sprinkles?  Bit more up market that a flat white, I wonder if I should suggest it to Costa!!!


Challenges;
Bugaboo Saturday Challenge - Bingo! Ribbon/Bugaboo Image/ Dots and Stripes - on cups

Kitty Bee Designs - food or drink
SSW2 - Sketch 128 -

Bugaboo 8th Birthday Challenge Day 7

Such a crafty week and here is my final submission to the week long event.

I had made a card earlier today but as I was posting it I realised it wasn't just sprinkles that was being asked for - there was a colour palette too...oops!

So take two!


This is a bigger than normal card for me sitting on an 8 x 8 blank but the image is so pretty so why not go large as they say in a well known burger chain!

Challenges;
Bugaboo 8th Birthday Challenge - Day 7 - Colours & sprinkles.

Bugaboo 8th Birthday Challenge Day 5

Day 5 of the Bugaboo Challenge and I've done 4/5 - that is almost as many cards as I made in the whole of last year!!! Well not quite, but I can't remember when creativity and productivity was so high! And I have Hazel to thank for this as she encouraged me to get on with things again!

Today's card is all about cupcakes - don't have a problem with that - cupcakes are yum - and the more frosting the better!

New pic - day light is a wonderful thing!

So it's a Bugaboo image, Promarker colouring and Docraft papers.

Thank You

It's been so long since I've made a card or posted one I have kinda forgotten the basics! So back to basics it was, a simple image and a short post!

So, Happy New Year to anyone reading this, my followers are few these days a bit like my cards and challenge entries.  I'd like to say things will improve this year, but who knows...only time will tell!

Today's image is a Power Poppy digi, and if there was a new company that would drive me back to card making it may well be this one as I could buy so much over there.  But rather than fill my basket, I've just picked up a couple of images, and my reward, should I use them will be a couple more!

So here's the card

Simple but I like it, and its a start!

Challenges;
Stamping Sensations - Cold and Frosty Colours
Passion for Promarkers - Make it digital
I Love Promarkers - 349 - Anything Goes
MAWTT - Flowers
Crafty Catz - Anything Goes - and a comment front and back - love that idea!
