How you doin?

Morning - the new challenge is beginning at The Paper Shelter and the theme is all about love which being so close to Valentines Day is very appropriate isn't it.
I have used this fab image called How you doin?
I printed it on to Kraft card so I could use my Prismacolor pencils on the image.

I cut the paper panels from Echo Parks spots and dots collection and mounted them on white and I used a My Favourite Things die to cut a frame from the white also. I added some pink heart ribbon from American Crafts and made a little bow which I sealed with a pink resin flower.

I finally added some white pen details to the image and I'm please with how it has come out.

So now its your turn to show us your cards and creations - There is a fab prize to win - Just think how many digis that will buy you !!

I would like to enter this card into these challenges -

Have a good day and I hope you get some time to craft and colour!

Dr Digi in Making Cards Magazine.

So I can finally reveal that I have had the cards that I made using Dr Digi images published in  Making Cards Magazine which is out now. In the magazine is a discount code for your to get these fab Christmas images...

 

 

 I used a DoCrafts 12 Days of Christmas Filigree Card blank amd covered the inside with Lawn Fawn Snow day patterened paper. I printed the image which is called Simple Santa onto Super smooth card and coloured the image with Promarkers. I die cut the image using a Lawn Fawn stitiched circle die and attached it to the middle of the card. I used the same die to get the correct shape – arrange the letters from an Alphabet stamp setcalled Harolds Abc into an arc on a stamp block and stamp onto the image panel using Memento Ink. I added some Amercian Crafts Ribbon and then added the greeting from Craftworks cards onto a punched circle. I used diamond stickles to add some sparkle to the snowman and finally added a Holly leaf embellishment from Hobbycraft.


I used these Promarkers and Flexmarkers –

Skin – Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice, with Baby Pink Cheeks.

Trousers & Scarf - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy.

Scarf & Leaves – Emerald, Forest Green, Pine & Holly.

Snowman – Powder Blue

So classy

Morning - We have a new challenge starting at The Paper Shelter and the theme is embossing. I have used an image called  So classy. Isn't he a daper fellow! 

I covered a round base card with patterned paper and embossed some mirri board using an embossing folder. I also die cut and embossed the city scape which I glued in place and sealed with a ribbon from American Crafts. The letters are from Cosmo Cricket and I made them fit the oval panel.

I used these Promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Usual
Suit - Linen, Champagne & Praline
Hair - Warm Grey 3 & 5
Car - Black, Cool greys 1 to 5, Frosted jade & Pastel Green
I also used silver and gold pen to add details to the car.
