Reindeer Yuletide

 Morning - A new Challenge is starting over at I love Promarkers today. This week’s theme is Animals  and the sponsor is  Little Miss Muffet, The Prize for the lucky winner is a $6 voucher

I have used this image called  Reindeer Yuletide.  which I was lucky enough to be able to chose for the DT. There are few different Reindeers like this so it was tricky to pick which one to use

 

I treated myself to some of the new Lawn Fawn paper pads and got this one call Knit Picky. I think it will get lots of use for my Christmas cards. The die cut greeting is also from Lawn Fawn - Big scripty words which i glued to Kraft card. The only other thing I have used to make this card is a gold pen on the wreath and some red & green card to mount the image panel. 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -  

Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy

Holly & Lush Green 

Grass, Emerald &Forest Green

Cloud Blue & Powder Blue. 

Ears  - Baby pink

Reindeer - Tan, Cocoa, Cinnamon & Henna / Light Fawn & Saffron

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

That's all from me for now - Looking forward to seeing lots of entries as Animals is always a popular theme.

Garden Girl Poppy

 Morning - Thought I'd take the time to show you this card I made with one of my new Stamping Bella stamps called Tiny Townie Garden Girl Poppy.

I printed the image out and die cut it using a My Favourite things wonky stitched frame. I then die cut using a scalloped stitched edge on Doodlebug Kraft in colour blue striped paper and glued it to the base pad. I die cut some green leaves using a Marianne Design die and glued this to a Poppy paper flower that I think was from The Ribbon Girl. Finally I add the "Love Ya" which was die cut from red card using Lawn Fawn Big scripty word die. 

I used these Promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -

Big Hugs & Naps

Evening - Todays new challenge at The Paper Shelter is to use a fancy fold. This was quite a challenge for me as I don't do these very often. I have used a twisted easel card and my image from the paper shelter is called The Best Nap ever

I used a Lawn Fawn big scripty word to die cut Big Hugs from gold mirri and also white card and I glued several of these together to form a stopper for the Easel. The patterned papers are from My Minds Eye - Miss Caroline. I used a little diamond stickles on the hat and added a little wooden elephant (Which I think was Kaisercraft?) Finally I added some Craftwork cards candy dots.

Over the moon with All Dressed Up.

Hello - It's time for the first Challenge over at All Dressed Up since the rejigging of the Blog. You can use any image to enter this challenge - with only one rule... IT MUST BE AN ALL DRESSED UP IMAGE. This isn't hard as there are so many beautiful image on the etsy page here... 
But on the blog there are also some freebies - so there are no excuses for not joining in!!

My DT card is using an image called Over The Moon.
I actually made this card as it was a Cousins wedding and I just thought it lent itself perfectly for lots of gold and sparkle and so I could use my new paper from My Minds Eye called Yes Please.

I cut a panel of the paper and mounted it onto Black card. I die cut the image using a Nestibilities die and cut another also from the black.
I tied a ribbon across the top and tied this in a bow. I used Lawn Fawn big scripty words die to cut about six Congrats from black card and one from gold. I glued all these together - putting the gold one on top. I am really pleased with how it has come out! Finally I added a gold heart from Freckled Fawn. I coloured the moon using Cosmic Shimmer watercolours in Olympic gold but I tried to keep them quite thick rather than too wet. I also used a little gold pen to add detail to his outfit and some diamond stickles on her dress and Veil.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Hair - Burgundy, Henna & Chestnut.
Dress  - Powder blue, Satin & Linen
Flowers - Soft Green, Violet & Lilac
His Clothes - Warm greys 1 to 5

I love the way this has turned out! I love all things shimmery and gold!!

I also used my brand new tree dies from Die-namics called Trees in the forest. I love that stitched edge! I used the same green bazzill shades and kraft card for the trunk. 

I stamped the Big hugs from Lawn fawn Big Scripty words and used the matching dies to cut this out. (It was my birthday so I treated myself to some new bits and bobs.. Oops!!) 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image - 

Tree leaves -  Leaf green, Green shoots, Chartreuse & Grass.
