Fathers day collection

 Thought I would have a doodle this week,

and came up with this little collection, after being inspired 

by looking on the internet...

This is the overall collection..

...hand doodled... each card took about 10 mins!

I just drew straight on, with pen, 

coloured hap-hazardly in my promarkers

and embossed a line around the edge.

Hey Presto!

Here they are... in more detail....

I would like to enter these (as a collection, cos they are all so similar)  into the following challenges...

Garden cat pots form Bugaboo.

I can't actually remember where I got this paper from... I know

The image is called "Nolan" from Fred She Said.

(and it was pre-coloured!!! very handy for a quick card!)

The fence, toad, snail, worm and words were digi images I already had.

I cut the green "grass" and leafy stalk from a 6 x 6 dovecrafts paper sheet.

I'm so very late!!!

 ... with my challenge cards...these are for the challenge that is just ending!

Apologies...I have been extremely busy this week, mainly with comissions from 

work colleagues, including cards and a "project" - 

which turned out to be a 12 x 12  framed page.

Anyway - this weeks wonderful image is called "Purrfect together" from Doodle Garden.

I fell in love with it as soon as I saw it!

Wasn't quite sure at first how to make it into a card for a male / male colours,

 but stuck with a black/white combo and thought it could work for a valentines / anniversary card.

The papers behind the image are from a dovecrafts stack, and

embossed with a wonderful hearts embossing folder, I bought whilst in Canada.

I coloured the image with my pack of 5 grey shaded promarkers.

(die is called precious hearts... my new and fave die at the mo.)

I coloured the image with promarkers and Mirage pens...

and added some "builders digi elements " that I have had forever, on my pc. 

The sentiment is craftwork cards and the corners are photocorners I have also had forever!

My friend had a baby boy last week...

... and I wanted to make them a special card.

I remembered this image, which I won from Di's Digi Downloads a little while ago,

that I hadn't got round to using yet. 

I coloured it with my promarkers and added a strip of blue gingham paper 

(always good for baby cards, I find!)

I printed out babies name, birth date, time and weight

and embossed a hearts background, with a new folder I bought,

whilst we were in Canada.(my fave folder at the mo!)

Precious hearts die-cuts ( my fave die at the mo!)

and a little gingham paper bow finished this 6 x 6 card.

Pink..kitty?

This week, over at Glitter n Sparkle, the theme is... "for a female"

I got this really cute image of a cat, called Fluffball Kitty Floral from Fitztown,

 which I coloured with my derwent watercolour pencils. 

I used a backing paper from My Minds Eye,

and the border, flowers, leaves and butterfly are all punched.

This week, the challenge is to use or add a tag...

Quite a simple card, I handcut the shape of the card into a tag,

coloured the printed image with my promarkers,

and added a deep blue ribbon and a little tag, stamped

with one of the words from my new stamps, that I recently bought in Canada,

at the very wonderful Hobby Lobby.

An Easter card

The image I got for this week, is"Allie in Egg with Sentiment" from Patties Creations, for the challenge 

over at Glitter n Sparkle. 

When I saw this image, I thought my niece would like it, so used it on her Easter card.

I had to add the chick separately, as that wasn't a part of the image, 

but I also wanted to add a chick because it was mentioned

in the sentiment. 

I I hand-cut and embossed the egg shape with hearts and added a brown organza ribbon.

The backing paper came from a set I bought in a £1 shop,.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges -

Animal friends - easter / spring (with an animal) - 30 April

It's Spring!

I love the colours in this fresh, spring card. 

I got the "Lovesick kitty" image from Eureka, over at Glitter n Sparkle. 

So cute!

I used marianne dies (birdcage and bird)

and I hand-cut the heart.

I coloured the kitty with my promarkers and stamped some little easter eggs

which i got in a free set of stamps last year - it was on the front

of a magazine... can't remember which one, now. 

The backing papers came from a set I bought in a pound shop a few years ago... I'm finally

getting round to using them! lol.

Crafty hazlenuts patterned paper - anything with patterned paper - 30 April

A shaped card

I got a fab little image this week, from Sassy Studios, for my weekly challenge over at the

Glitter n Sparkle blog...

...where we had to make a shaped card.

I struggled to come up with a suitable shape at first, 

but then remembered the trusty old shape -"stack of presents" -

which I hand-cut and paper pieced. 

I used some papers from docrafts, for the presents....
 which I though, were quite patriotic colours of our uk flag.
Or, I guess, they could also be for the US flag...with the star aswell!

The star sentiment is from craftwork cards. 

I used a selection of my promarkers

to colour the image, on the new card I bought last weekend at Sincerley yours craft show.

The card is super smooth - just right for my alcohol pens - and is 280gsm. 

(Bought at Limetree craft stand at the show)

Pearls and lace

This week, over at Glitter n Sparkle, the challenge

is to use pearls and lace...

Such a cute image...girl with bunny from bugaboo. 

I used a  pink petticoat curly girlie sentiment,

and docrafts backing paper...it came as a freebie some time ago

in a pack,I think it was called pampered pets. 

(The paper in that pack is lovely!)

I thought it was reminiscent of lace. 

I added some lace look borders - punched, really

and little pearls...although the "pearls" around the image are liquid pearls.

Mothers day cards.

I made a card for my Mum and a card for Mother-in-law.....

 This first one is  for my mum...

Appropriately, the challenge at Glitter n Sparkle this week, 

is "Mothers Day"

I got this great image from Digi Darla

and wanted to use my new die - precious hearts.

The backing paper is one of the first sets of paper I ever bought - 

I think it was called the "collossal paper pack" from docrafts.

Butterflies are MS punched.

Leafy die is marianne.

Cat die is memory box.

Flowers are from dovecrafts.

A very true sentiment ;)

This week, I got this fun image from QKR Stampede...Cat n Dog.

I knew which sentiment I wanted with it, as soon as I saw it.

It took me aaaages to find a paper to go with it, that I thought "fitted". 

I matted the backing paper (from DCWV),

coloured the image with promarkers, 

and embossed a line around the edge of the backing paper. 

You can't tell from this pic, but I added glossy accents on their eyes and noses. 

I thought this card would be suitable for a cat or dog lover...either a male or female.

A cat card

Well, I've not made a card with a cat on, for a good while...

So I thought I would change that, this week!

I got this image from Glitter n Sparkle, and knew how i would add the challenge part

for this week - "add some green".

The image is called cutie 12, from fitztown... coloured with promarkers.

The backing paper is from dovecrafts. 

the bee is a penny black sticker

Thanks, teacher.

Yey! "Anything goes" is the challenge at Glitter n Sparkle this week - 

I got this cute little pencil and girl image from Bugaboo. 

Perfect, I thought, as I work in a school and often]get asked for a "thank-you teacher" card.

The bold lines of the image made me opt for strong, bold, bright colours.

The ABC is a rub-on I got yonks ago...part of a school set I bought, from a pound shop!

Cards for a sad occasion...

Sadly, a colleague recently lost her Dad.

At work, I was asked for some cards to send their sympathies to her....

 This card was made with a dovecrafts embossing folder 

and the flowers are from dovecrafts too.

I made the sentiment in publisher on the pc. 

The flourish is a marianne die.

A few challenge cards...

Over at Glitter n Sparkle this week, the challenge is to 

"add a sentiment"... and I was lucky enough to get two images!

This first image was my fave - sooo cute! (Janessa and Kitty... from Digi Darla)

I tried to give her a really soft, subtle, gentle feel...

and so used my watercolour pencils. 

I punched some flowers and butterflies

and die cut the flourish and the label shape in the middle...which I also embossed with my swiss dots.

As the image reminded me of my niece... 

and her love of cats, the sentiment did too...  I have had it on the pc for a long time, 

and never used it! 

Because I didn't want to use a backing paper for this card, 

I selected a pearlised card...I think you can just about see the sheen.

This was the second image I got this week - Happy Lil Boy...from Digi Darla.

While the watercolour pencils were out, I used them for this image too...

think I need to pick up some more promarkers...I love using them - but only have about 

20 of them...and never the colours I seem to want! :)

Maybe I will try copics... hmmm..

Anyway - I digress...

The backing papers are dovecafts papers

and I used my fancy scissors to cut that edge on the thin 

stripey paper along the bottom border.

Card for a male - or a female!

As soon as I saw this image, I knew which "backing paper" I wanted to add to it...

Over at Glitter n Sparkle, this weeks challenge is "bright and funky colours."

It was difficult to make the image any brighter than I did, but I added a page from an old 

AA map behind the image, and a green border...that is slightly pearlised.  

I thought - if I was to make this again, I would seek out a page that would fit with where

the recipient lives or is moving to.

I added some jute twine to keep it quite neutral...so could be a card for a male or a female. 

The sentiment comes from "pink petticoat". 

The image is "atlas and globe" from Sentimental Susan.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges...

One for a man...

I made this recently, for a friend who is a head teacher...

Its half term at the o, and I think he could definitely do with a rest!

 

I used promarkers to colour this Bugaboo image

and tried to keep in with the colours of the childrens school uniform.

The backing paper is from a paper stack I bought last week at the range (for £2 !!)

I embossed the edge of the image - wanted to keep this card CAS.

The sentiment is from craftwork cards.

A friends daughters 18th

I was asked to make a card for a friends daughters birthday.

I saw a pic of the cake she is getting, and based the card on the cake.

 

The cake is fushia and black in colour...with a shoe on the top.

This shoe actually comes from a piece of wrapping paper!

I backed it on card to give it some strength.

The fushia papers are form pink petticoat - and are "bubblegum" colour.

The flowers are dovecraft blooms.

I generated the sentiment straight onto the card, with my pc.

A few gems and MS butterflies finished the card off.

My friend almost cried (with joy!) when she saw the card -

 she was so impressed I had remembered what

the cake looked like, and made this in the same colours.

Phew!

Sketch challenge

Over at Glitter n Sparkle this week, we are having a sketch challenge....

and I got this Cowgirl angel image, by Eureka.

I used my watercolour pencils to colour it subtley,

handcut the corners, inked and added "studs" with a brown pen.

The cacti is a digi image and the fab gingham papers came free with a magazine a loooong time ago! 

Thanks for looking and any comments you might leave.

Valentines...

This weeks challenge, over at Glitter n Sparkle, is...

"Use RED!" 

a great challenge, so close to valentines day!

The image I got is this one...  from Bugaboo. 

(The sentiment comes with the image too, I drew a little frame around it, too look like the letter has just been taken out of the envelope.)

I didn't want to make this too girly...

so used a backing paper from the docrafts "ahoy" papers. 

I punched the hearts and added some faux stitching around them,

aswell as faux stitching around the edges.

Image coloured with promarkers.
