The Paper Shelter round up 2020

    Wow I have been terrible at doing my blog lately... by lately I mean most of 2020. Its been a strange old year hasn't it. Been changes and promotions at work, we got a another rescue pup and did some more house renovations. Along the way I have been crafting and colouring but very lazy when it comes to posting so here is a bumped selection of cards made with The Paper Shelter images for the Blog challenge. 

Enjoy, Liz (:(|)x

Big Hugs Bunny

Good Morning - Its a new challenge starting today at The Paper Shelter and the theme is Easter -There are so many lovely Easter images to chose from but eventually I decided to use Charmy Bunny.
I loved playing with this image and made her quite big so I only used the top half of the image. I found this lovely patterened paper which just has a hint of yellow on the flowers so I was able to pick that out and add a few yellow details.
The greeting is a stamp and die from Lawn fawn called Big Scripty words and die cut the image using My Favourite things double stitched oval.

 

I used some lace from Papermania and added a prima flower and gems. 

I used Promarkers for the skin and Copics for the rest of the image -

Bunny - RV10, RV21 & RV23  - CO, C2 & C3

Hair -  E77, E25, E77

Shading on the shirt - BV00

Easter Tea Party at All Dressed Up.

Good afternoon - Its new release time at All Dressed Up and the new images are beauties!! They always are though aren't they!!

This one I have played with is called Easter Tea Party which is available in the Etsy shop now. 

The paper is perfectly plaid from Lawn Fawn and the Happy Easter stamp is also Lawn Fawn. I die cut the images using a My Favourite things wonky stitched rectangle and I coloured the image with copics. The little wooden wreath is from a pack I bought from Hobbycraft.

You can see other new release inspiration over at the All Dressed Up Blog and Facebook
AND Do you know we currently have a DT call happening for both the Blog and Facebook teams!!
See you soon.

Happy Easter.

Happy Easter everybody!

So I've gone with an Easter Bunny... although not a traditional image but it is a fab new digi stamp from Dr Digi called Betty the Bunny. And there are lots of co-ordinating images and papers to use with Betty.

I covered the base card with three different patterned papers from Echo Park Celebrate Easter collection. I die cut the green paper with a My favourite things stitched scalloped edge die and I used a forth pattern page to die cut the egg with a MFT oval double stitiched die. I thought the white Pompom ribbon was perfect for the rabbit theme as they remind me of little Bunny Tails!
I cut around the image and used 3d foam to adhere Betty to the base card. Finally I added  few stripy enamel dots.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Unsual
Eggs - Summer Sun, Lime Green, Poppy, Ocean Teal, Bright Orange and Cloud Blue to shade.

Bunny suit - Blue Greys 1,2 & 3 with Baby Pink, Cocktail Pink and Pink Mittens.
Basket - Tan, Caramel, Cinnamon & Raw Sienna.

I hope you haven't made your self feel sick with too many choc eggs or big easter Roast dinners!
Enjoy the rest of the Bank Holiday,
See you soon,

Easter Bunnies

Morning -
Today is the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter and the theme is Easter Time. I have used this fab image called Little Easter Bunnies.  And nothing says Spring and Easter like bright sunny colours!!

I cut a panel of the Egg patterned paper from an Echo Park pad called Celebrate Easter and glued this to the base card. I doodled a boarder around this with a thin black liner pen. I die cut the image panel using a Double stitched Oval Die from My Favourite things. Over this I also added a die cut cloud edge panel using swiss dot bazill card. I tied some red twine around the card and added a little butterfly charm. I then also added a few little resin butteflies and stamped "Happy Easter" using Lawn Fawn Harolds ABC stamps to finish the card off. 

I used these promarkers and flex markers to colour the image - 

Bunnies - Warm Grey 2 & 3 with Baby Pink. 

Egg - Soft Lime, Lemon, Canary, Yellow & Tulip yellow. 

Paint - Baby Pink, Carmine & Magenta. 

Grass - Pear Green, Lime Green, Lime Twist, Lime Zest & Aniseed. 

Brush - Cinamon, Cocoa & Champagne. 

Bow tie and sky - Turquoise & Oasis 

I hope you get chance to join the challenge and use the DT cards for inspiration and just look at the value of the prize!! How fab is that??

 

All from me for now - hope you have a lovely day,

Funny Easter Bunny

Hello - Its time for a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter and the theme is Easter Time. I have used an image called Funny Easter Bunny. I tried to go along with a pastel theme... well this is as pastel as I get!! You know I'm a bright girl through and through!
This is the first card I've made with these new fancy edge card bases that I got from Create & Craft. I think it matches really well with the egg shaped corners and all the spots.

I coloured the image using my promarkers & Flexmarkers and then used a Friskars cutter to cut part way around the image to allow his big feet and ears to stick out. The papers I've used are both from Simple Stores Hello Baby collection which I cover the base in and then cut a panel from. I used a friskars edge punch on white card to attach to the edges of the panel. I stuck this panel on top of some ribbon from my stash that I made into a bow - so it is similar to the one the Bunny is wearing. The stamped greeting is a freebie I got from a magazine years ago. Finally I added some co-ordinating enamel dots from My Minds Eye.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour Funny Bunny -
Bunny - Ice Grey 1 & 3
Ears - Blossom & Rose pink
Bow tie - Aquamarine, Frosted Jade & Turquoise. 
Egg - Apple green & Meadow green, Lemon & Yello, Cloud blue & Blender. 
Cloud blue for edging and shading on white areas.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
The Crafters cafe - Easter.
Fan-tastic Tuesday- ATG
Inky Chicks - Happy Easter.
