MAWTT - Easter/Spring

This week the host of the Moving Along with the Times challenge is Sue and she chose the theme 'Easter or Spring'.

The small card blank is by Craft UK. The image is a digi, available over at the Stitchybear Digi Outlet. I coloured it with my Promarkers and then cut it with my Xcut guillotine and matted it on to bright orange card by Papermill. I added a little bit of glitz by colouring the centre of the flowers with a Sakura  Gelly Roll pen. The backing paper is from a pad by Kate Knight called Spring Fling. I matted that on to the orange card too. I added some faux gems by JJD Cards. A CAS card which I enjoyed making.

I'm entering my card into the following challenges:
Creative Card Crew Challenge - Spring
Through the Craft Room Door - Anything Goes
Digi Makeover Challenge - Anything Goes
Melonheadz Friends Challenge - Time for Spring
Stamp and Create Challenge - Spring Flowers

Thank you for visiting and thank you so much for your comments - good or bad!

Whoopsi Daisy Summer Colours

This is my card for the Whoopsi Daisy challenge this week - the theme is Summer Colours and you couldn't get much hotter than these colours! 

I used one of the images from sheet 339 which you can buy here. There are four digis to a sheet and, at the minute, if you buy one sheet, for only £1.99, you get another sheet free,  a fantastic price for fantastic images.

I used a small card blank from Craft UK. The backing paper is from a freebie pad by Kate Knight - Totally Tropical Summer papers. The orange card is from Payper Box. I coloured the image with Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens and then used a Spellbinders nestie to cut it. I matted it on to the scalloped nestie in orange. Three small orange gems from JJD cards are in the bottom right of the image rectangle. The orange ribbon is from my Australian stash - it's beginning to run low! Yikes.

I'm entering it in to the following challenges:

Fashionista Challenge - Simply Summer

Ooh-la-la creations Challenge - Make it Girly

Crafty Sentiments - Anything Goes 

Crazy Amigo Challenge - Orange

Bear Essentials

My card today is for the Lili's Little Fairies challenge of Bear Essentials. My card is a small square card blank by Craft UK. The orange card is by Papermill and the backing paper is from a freebie pad by Kate Knight. I coloured the LOTV image with Promarkers and cut it with my Spellbinders nestie. I left it in the die and used Distress Ink round the edge so that the white border was created. The die at the top left is a Memory Box die and the sentiment is by LOTV. It's distressed a bit too much but it still works - just! I added a button from my stash and a bow of Creative Expression's baker's twine.

Bearly Mine - Anything Goes

Daisy and Friends CD

I'm still not 100% because of this blinking vertigo and I seem to be sleeping a lot! I've just woken up after a lunch time nap and managed to finish this card. It's a small square card blank by Craft UK and the pink Mirri board is by Joanna Sheen. I've used two backing papers that I got as freebies in two different magazines but they are from the same designer, Kate Knight. The image is of course from the Daisy and Friends CD, by Joanna Sheen, with the images drawn by Linnie. I coloured her with Promarkers before cutting out. and edging with Spun Sugar Distress Ink.The 3D butterfly is cut with a Martha Stewart punch and the small flower silver charm was bought at Bluewater craft show a few weeks ago.

I'm entering this card in to the following challenges:
Crafty Sentiments - Two papers
Moving Along With the Times - Lots of layers
CD Sunday - Wings and Legs
Whoopsi Daisy - 3D

Better today

I'm not completely better but today has been a good day and I feel reasonably fit for a change - the first time since a couple of weeks before Christmas. Blinking vertigo!

I've made a happy cheerful card in lovely colours. I started it and finished it today so things are definitely looking up. lol My card blank is a small 6x6 square by Craft UK. The turqouise card is by Papermill and the flowery backing paper is from Kate Knight's Totally Tropical paper pad. I used turqouise organza ribbon from The Pretty Little Ribbon Shop. The digi image I coloured with Promarkers and cut with Spellbinders oval nesties with the scalloped mat. The bling is from a blog candy that I won from Nataliya - thanks Nat. Unfortunately I cannot remember where I got the digi. I lost all my named digis on a CD and I had to resurrect them and store them on a memory stick - no names, doh! My apologies to the artist.

Moving Along With the Times - Things with Wings
