You're Cool

Good Morning
 It's the start of our little summer break at The Paper Shelter and the theme for the extra long challenge is Anything goes. I've gone with the holiday summer theme by using Ice Cream Man.
I put him with the perfect Ice Cream cone paper and coloured it in pinks and mint greens. I added some pink pom pom trim that reminded me of scooped Ice cream and added some twine with an ice cream cone charm attached. Finally I stamped the You're cool onto the chippie flag.  

I could live off Ice Cream at the moment in this amazing heat wave!

So you have extra time to join the challenge this time and I know its school hols but why not get the kids creating too... Great way to spend an afternoon and its free!!

See you soon,

Hydrangea

There is a new challenge at I love Promarkers . This week’s theme is Anything Goes and the sponsor is  IKEsART digis   and I have used an image called Hydrangea. 

I covered a base card with Simple Stories Wood effect paper. I coloured the image from Ike's art using Promarkets and die cut the image and some purple satin card using My Favourite things inside outside stitched die, Once the markers had dried I added some liquid pearls in the middle of the flowers. I stamped the greeting from Mama Elephant big scripty words and added some white matte sprinkles.

Hope you like it - Im pleased with how its turned out.

Mum's Birthday.

Morning - Today's card is one I have made for my Mum's birthday using Dr Digi image called Salon Deirdrey. Mum asked for a voucher for the Hairdressers for her birthday so once again Dr Digi came to the rescue with this perfect image for me to create with. I am so grateful there are talented people out there to draw the pictures that I get to play with!!

I used paper from My Favourite Things Smitten pad and used a MFT puffy clouds die to cut the edges. I joined them together using acetate and them attached my image panel. The image was die cut with MFT inside outside stitched frame die and mounted onto silver mirri. I also used silver pen on the chair legs but you cna't really tell!!
I added a clear Happy Birthday sticker on some orange card and some Doodlebug letters to spell out Mum. I also used a white POSCA pen (Which I think is brilliant by the way!!) to add some details to the images. The rest of the image I coloured with my new copics... which I am in love with!!
Although I still used my promarkers for the skin... I still need more practice with the copics skin pens.

I used these copics -
Chairs - BG10, BG23, BG49
Cushion - B000, B23, B24, B28
Dress - RV10, RV21, RV14
Hairdryers - Y21, Y35, YR16
Dog & Deirdery's hair - E31, E35, E37

So it's not actually my Mums Birthday till tomorrow but we are going out for dinner today and so the card and gift voucher will be handed over later... hopefully she won't see this until then??!

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Allsorts - spots and stripes 


Right - All from me for now. Have a lovely day,

Krafty Santa Selfie.

Morning, 
Todays Dr Digi post is using Santa Selfie and I had fun colouring it using my prismacolor pencils on Kraft card.
We have a new Design team member starting soon who is an absolute whizz on colouring on Kraft so this is little welcome to her... You will know who it is soon enough!!

I die cut the image using a My favourite things die and mounted it on red bazzill. I used the tree die on white swiss dot card and the patterned paper is from Heidi Swapp. I used some star dust stickles on the snow and add a little die cut snow flake and finally a greeting from Hobbycraft.

So thats all from me for now - keep sharing your Dr Digi creations with us on the facebook page.

Uptown Girl Monique loves Macarons.

Hello - did this card for the Bellarific Friday at Stamping Bella and used Uptown Girl Monique loves Macarons.
I coloured the image with Prismacolor pencils and then added some dots with white pen and some stickles on the Macarons.

I used My Favourite things inside outside stitched dies to create the panels and layered them all together on Kraft. The Papers are from Doodlebug Kraft in colour collection.

Hope you like her... I can't decide on a sentiment so any ideas be gratefully received!!
