Gripper gives big hugs.

Morning All - I will be in work when you are reading this but I can post thanks to the wonders of scheduling! So this week I have been colouring Gripper Stebson  just because he is a cracking image and I reckon he is really a big ol'softie who just wants to give you a big hug!! 

I used paper from My Minds Eye Alphabet soup collection and covered a square card base. I use a Die-namincs in and out diagonal stitched square die to cut the frame from red card and a Spellbinders nestibilities die to cut the star from black card. I die cut the greeting from gold card using Big Scripty die from Lawn Fawn and added some gold foam stars from Pink Fresh.

I used my usual skin combo for his skin but the rest of Gripper was coloured with Copics. I added little details with a gold pen and white posca pen.

Hope you like this weeks cards and come back next week to see my next Dr Digi creation,

Little Treasures - ADU

Afternoon all - Have you seen there is a new challenge starting today at All Dressed Up blog? 

As always it is an Anything Goes challenge as long as you use one of the gorgeous All Dressed Up Images. And the quality of the Design team inspiration is just fabulous! (And I'm not just saying that as I am one of them!!)

This month I have used an image called  Little Treasure  and it was made for all my work colleagues to sign to send to celebrate a new baby. 

Firstly I covered a large base card with wood effect paper from DCWV - The Goodwood Stack. I also used a scalloped die edge from MFT to cut the panel from Tilda Flower garden spotty paper which I also used to paper piece the Teddy's top. I added some Wycinanka hearts a couple of this I filled with Diamond stickles. I tied some red twine around the base card and tied this in a bow and also glued this in place with a little wooden heart.

I die cut a banner and used Doodlebug letter stickers to spell out the new babies name and put some gems on the first and last flag. I also used gems to separate the number stickers which show her date of birth.
I also used Paper Smooches stamp to say "Congratulations" inside the card along with Lawn Fawn Harolds ABC  stamps. 

I used a  MFT dienamics scalloped stitched edge, banner, inside / outside stitched square to cut the image which I coloured using Promarkers & Flexmarkers -

Bunny  - Warm Greys
Teddy -  Linen, Tan & Nutmeg
Feet & ears -  Pink Mittens, Baby Pink & Cocktail pink
Blue grey - edges

I hope you like it - I love making cards like this that can be kept as a keep sake or framed for the Baby's room.

Sandy Beach.

Hello everyone - There a couple of changes happening at All Dressed Up at the mo with some new ideas regarding the challenges so whilst they are all taking shape I have made this card for the FACEBOOK challenge and the theme is Pastels! As I told the DT - this is pretty much as pastel as I get as you all know I love the brights....I do love this mint green and peach combo though.

The image I have used is called Sandy Beaches which you can buy just by clicking on the link. Its a fab image and so much fun to colour in.  I think these big images need to just be centre stage so I kept it pretty simple (Although now I've posted it... my OCD is twitching at the uneven matt... its didn't look so wonky before.... I think the corrugated card has unrolled and flattened more in the bottom left corner!) 

The card and wood effect paper are from Teresa Collins Trendsetter collection as are the letters and the enamel dots. (Think I got it all as a kit from Create and Craft... had the whole lot for a couple of years if I'm honest!!) 

I used a My Favourite things die-namics die to cut the banner and added a little wooden shell embellishment. Finally I used a white gel pen and a silver pen to add some shine and details

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers - 

Soft Peach, Peach, Mango & Orange. 

Honeydew, Aquamarine & Mint. 

Buttercup, Pineapple crush, Mustard, Sleigh bells & Raw Sienna. 

Cool greys 

Powder Blue.

I used paper from Doodlebug Fun in the sun collection and also Doodlebug letters on the Banner. The banner is a die-namics die cut from My Favourite things dots & stripes Sorbet collection. I stuck Deirdery and the banner on with 3d foam for some definition.
I mounted the panel on blue bazzill and added a little Cinnamon stickles to the coconuts and Turquoise stickles to the wave. Finally I added glaze to Deirdrey's glasses, drink and jug to give them a glass effect.

Happy Birthday El Gordo.

Morning - Todays post for Dr Digi DT is using El Gordo
I made this card for a friend we met whilst on holiday years ago in Mexcio and yesterday we went to his surprise 40th Birthday party. Where else can you find that perfect image !! He also loves his cars so the retro black and white car paper was a great combo.

The coloured papers are from Carta Bella Circus Party collection -the yellow paper is called Banners and Turquoise paper called Tickets. The car paper is from Crate Paper I think (I have cut the bottom of??) I used the Die-namics party banner die cut and star nestibilities to cut the red Bazzill card and used Doodlebug white letters to add the numbers and letters.

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image -

On My Farm...

Howdie... (Farmers terminology right??) Todays post is to tell you all about the new Challenge at All Dressed Up Blog. It is always an Anything Goes theme as long as you use an All dressed up image. I have used an image called On my Farm
There was a little irony around the creation of this card as I had spent all day in the Garden putting horse manure on the flower beds so I did smell a bit like I'd been down on the Farm! Don't worry I did shower before I put my grubby hands on my precious paper stash!!

 

Speaking of paper - How ace is this perfectly plaid paper from Lawn Fawn!! They are all so bright and lush!! I teamed it with a strip of Country Fair green paper from My Favourite Things to mirror the grass. (These two companies can do no wrong in my opinion at the moment.)
I used a Lawn Fawn Die called "Inside out diagonal stitched Square" to cut the image out and mounted each layer onto Black bazzill.
I die cut a flower using Marianne Design and glued a pearl to the middle. The two smaller flowers are sequins from Doodlebug which I glued a gem to the middle of. I also die cut some clouds (I can't remember what brand they are ... Sorry. I normally write it on the back but haven't on these.) which I stuck to the card to overhang the image and then added a bright yellow button to represent the sun. Finally I used a little silver pen to highlight the wheels and grill on the tractor.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Sky - Powder blue with lots of blender pen.
Wooden fence and carts - Caramel, Cocoa & Raw Sienna.
Pig - Blossom, Baby pink & Antique Pink.
Chicken - Poppy & Yellow.
Tractor - Yellow, Gold & Sleigh bells.
Grass - Leaf Green & Pressed leaf.
Tyre's - Black, Cool greys 3,4 & 5
Cow & Sheep's face - Ice Greys 3, 4 &5

I hope you like how My Farm turned out - it looks pretty idyllic but I reckon the manure is just out of shot!
I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

Thanks for visiting and Im looking forward to seeing all your creations entered into the Challenge.

Jolly Chap with Kenny K

Morning - Time for another new Challenge over at I love Promarkers.
The challenge for this week is sponsored by Kenny K and the theme is "Men at Work"
I have used a image from Kenny K called Jolly Chap and I die cut around him using a new set of dies I got from My Favourite Things Die-Namics called Inside out stitched square dies.

I went with a kraft card background as it seemed more "manly" and made the black and white pop a bit more. The paper with printing on is from Simple Stories - DIY boutique, whilst the diagonal patterned papers are from My Minds Eye Black and Grey Necessities.
I die cut the skyscape from black and gold and slightly offset them to make them look like the light was glowing. I also die cut the Happy from gold card and created a little flag with the gold and patterned paper - which I then put a Gold Freckled Fawn heart on. The black & gold bow was from a pad of bows by Craftwork Cards called Noir De Luxe.

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers -
Skin -  Antique White, Blush, Soft peach, Coral & Spice.
Suit & Hat - Ice Greys
Briefcase - Warm Greys. 
Powder blue to shade the white clothing.
I also added a little gold pen.

Animal Magic at The Paper Shelter.

Morning All -
Today is the start of a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter. The theme is Animal magic and I knew I had to use this image called Tucan. How cool is he??!

I used a black card base and covered this with a White zigzag die cut panel using My Favourite things Die-namics. I knotted a strip of Blue ribbon and glued this down the edge. I placed the coloured image over the zigzags and then added the die cut leaves which I cut using my Silhouette. I used star dust stickles on the leaves and beak to make them glisten a little.
I finally added a white peel off greeting and a few co-ordinating coloured gems.

I used these promarkers & Flexmarkers to colour the image -
Birds body - Black & Ice Greys
Beak - Gold, Pumpkin, Mandarin & Orange, Sky blue, Azure & Prusian, Vermillion & Maroon.

Grumpy Monkey

Morning All,
Today's image really speaks for itself and it is called Grumpy Monkey.
I've made this card for the soon to be Father in Laws birthday and we have often said he is like a big Silver Back Gorilla.

I love this Gorilla - he has so much expression in his face. And Guess what - this image is only £1.00 - you can't even get a coffee for that these days!
I cut the panel around him just a little smaller than he is and fussy cut around the over hanging edges. I used loads of different Woodware punches and Marianne Design dies to create all the leaves he is nestled in from different shades of green card.
I tried to keep it manly with lots of Kraft card and wood pattern paper from DCWV collection and had to resist my usual adding of gems and glitter. Although if you look closely there are a few glittery leaves...There has to be a bit of shimmer in the Rain Forest right?
I used a stamp from Stampendous Changito collection to print the leaves across the top and also the banana's.
I die cut Happy using a My Favourite things dies from Celebrate collection with Black card and then stuck the white Doodlebug letters on to spell out Birthday. Finally I added the kraft effect letters from Hobbycraft to say "Dad".

I used all the Ice Grey range of Promarkers to colour the Grumpy Monkey using lots of little dots.

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

Relax and Pamper at Bath time.

Hello All,
Now I love a bath (Too much info?)  I can sit in a bath for hours and just keep topping up the water to keep it warm. And like Our Deirdery I will often take a drink with me (Yes...sometimes it is a glass of wine!!Please don't judge me!) It's not a traditional Valentines card but... Bath Time Deirdery from Dr Digi certainly looks relaxed and I love this digi looking all feminine and pink.

The patterned papers are from Polka Dot party collection from Dear Lizzy American Crafts. I added some paper flowers from my stash, the beaded center flowers are from Petaloo Sweet Petite and the resin flowers from Martha Stewart. I used pearl dots in co-ordinating colours from my stash and added the greetings which I just got from Crate Paper Hello Love collection and mounted onto gold mirri. The image was die cut using my new set of Die-namics wonky rectangles and finally I used gold pen on the feet and taps of the bath along with Stardust stickles on the bath foam.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Hair & Bath tub - Ice Grey 1 & 2.
Bathcap & Bath mat - Fresh Bloom, Baby Pink, Carmine & Magenta.

Mums got Green Finger and Thumbs.

Morning Everyone -
This mornings card I've made for my Mum's birthday on the 5th Feb. I'm organized for once as they are going away to Edinburgh to watch the Rugby at the weekend so I had to be. I know its safe to post though as neither Mum or Dad do Social Media.

This image is perfect for My Mum and is called Green Fingers and Thumbs from Dr Digi. I love pottering in my Garden and I definitely got that from my Mum. Anytime I don't know what something this or how I look after a plant - I get my Mum round to help. I'm not sure she has ever grown Marrows though...
This weird weather is confusing my garden - I have tulips and Daffodils coming through already so I won't be long until we can get out again weeding and trimming.

I used Die-namics die cut rectangle to cut my image panel which I coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from a new pad I got this week (which is full of lovely gold foiling...) from My Minds Eye called On Trend 2. I was struggling with a layout and found this one as a challenge on Mojo Monday. I cut the banners from the paper and stuck them behind the image panel which I then stuck on with 3 foam to raise it up. I tied string around the bottom of the panel and knotted the shovel charm to it. I also used a Craftworks Card greeting which personalized the card for my Mum. Finally I used liquid pearls in Royal blue to copy the Heart shape from the pattern on the papers above the greeting.
I also added glaze to her Glasses and used a silver pen on the spade and her dungaree buckles.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Hair - Sandstone, Cinnamon, Cocoa & Chestnut.
Dungarees - Cadet Blue, Reef Blue, Petrol Blue & Navy Blue.
Top - Wild Cranberry, Maroon & Burgandy
Wellies -  Khaki, Herb Green & Pesto
Marrow - Forest Green, Pressed leaf, Fresh Meadow, Green shoots & Apple.
Ground - Umber & Walnut.

I also added a few red gems in the corner and used Star Dust stickles on the Macarons.

Peg leg Pete

Morning - I thought I'd have a break from the christmas creations just before December kicks in and the festive period takes hold. So I have used Peg leg Pete to make something a bit different.

I do love Christmas but it seems to start earlier and earlier every year... I refuse to put my decorations up until December starts but then don't want to take them down as everywhere looks so bare afterwards.
So I am taking a stand and Peg Leg Pete is my little bit of rebellion against the early Christmas... He is such a fab image and so full of character. I purposefully added a general greeting so I can use this card for any occasion.


I used anchor paper from Project life Becky Higgins collection called Baby Boy. All the other papers are from Doodlebug. The red zizzag and wood effect are both from the Kraft in colour collection. I used lime swiss dot to cut the banner using the Die-namics die. I stuck the letters from Hobbycraft on to spell out "Ahoy" and attached this to the card using 3d foam.
The compass in the right is a stamp from Stampendous Changito Pirates collections and I coloured it with a gold pen, some star dust stickles and a red gem in the centre.  I also used stickles on the cuffs and collar of Petes shirt, along with gold and silver pen to add some metallic detail.

To colour Peg Leg Pete I used these promarkers & flexmarkers -
Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush, Antique White.
Jacket - Polar Blue, Capri blue & Midnight blue.
Hat & Trousers - Cool Grey 1 - 5
Casket - Caramel & Raw Sienna
Boot & Leg - Caramel, Raw Sienna & Saddle brown.
Shoulders & parrot - Poppy, Ruby & Cardinal red.
Parrot - True Blue & Sky Blue, Lime zest & Lime Green.

Hope you all have a lovely day,

New Home

Today is the new challenge from I Love Promarkers and the theme is New Home. The sponsor is  Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps  and I have used an image called mushroom town

To make this card I took a card and folder the top in half to make it a mountain fold. I printed and coloured the image and then die cut it with a scalloped Nestibility. I trimmed the bottom section and tied a ribbon around the base and knotted this through a tag. I used Peel offs to put the greeting on the tag and added a few red gems to match the dots on the Mushrooms.
I used gnome paper from Pebbles and mounted this in red card bazzill card.  I used a die-namics die to cut some grass and then my Silhoutte to cut a Mushroom shape. I added this to the card with 3D foam so it sat above  a little and held the fold in place. Finally I added some stickles to the tops of the Mushrooms and in the holes of the die cut.

To colour the image I used promarkers & flexmarkers -
Top of Toadstool - Red, poppy, Ruby & Cardinal
Bottom of Toadstool - March Hare & Tawny Owl.
Doors - Raw sienns, Henna & Cocoa
Sky & Windows - Powder blue
Grass - Grass, Emerald & Honeydew.

Morning! For todays card I have used this image called Professor Dummkopf  from Dr Digi. I love this image and he has so many uses...

I made this card on specific request from my other half  - his friend and colleague was retiring. And he picked this image to use on the card that I made for all the team to sign. They are all forensic science geeks so Prof D was perfect. (I can call them that because Geek is chic these days!)

I've used paper from Heidi Swapp collection called No Limits. I mounted the panel from this pad onto black and then green glitter card. I cut a die-namics banner and the word "happy" from black card. I then added green letters from Doodlebug to spell out retirement. I added some green gems and the letters to spell out the name. Finally I used some glaze on his glasses and boots to make them shine.

I coloured Professor Dummkopf using these Promarkers / flexmarkers -
Skin - Spice, Coral, Soft Peach, Blush & Antique white.
Clothing - April Shower & Powder blue, Cardinal red, and Khaki shirt.
Hair & tousers -  Cool grey 1 - 5.

Harry Potter

There is a new challenge today at I Love Promarkers and the theme is to use More than 3 Layers. 
I have had this image from Tiddly Inks but never quite known what to use it for, but then I was asked to make a birthday card for a young Lady called Jade who is turning 13yrs. She loves Harry Potter and this Wizard and Wizardette digi was perfect to put together to be the three famous characters. The card is from her brother so it couldn't be too mushy or girlie. I hope this is the exact balance with a bit of pink and glitter.

The background is from Mambi Paper which is lovely with a green foil effect and I die cut the Banner using a Die-namics Die cut from Simple Stories DIY Boutique range. I added the Black gem swirls which are from Hobbycraft and some Cosmic Shimmer and glaze to the 
Letters are from Doodlebug and The green glitter card is also from Doodlebug. The Enamel dots are ones I made myself by melting Perle beads. (This was so easy to do - just google it!)
I got the big glittery resin owl from Ebay - Im not sure what make he is but he is fab!!


The promarkers and Flexmarkers I used are -
Scarves - Red Sweater, Burgandy & Mustard & Sleigh Bells.
Cloaks & shoes - Cool greys.
Trousers  - Warm Greys
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
