Get Well Soon

Morning everyone - I'm back today with a card using Dr Digi image called Recuperating Rita

There has been so many bugs and germs going round recently so I figured I'd make this card ready for the next vicitim!! Luckily I have managed to avoid any illness ... so far at least!

I figured she would definitely be a shabby chic Kind of girl who has upcycled her bed and cabinet to go with her lovely floral Laura Ashley-esq wall paper. I'm sure its a very cosy room to recuperate in.
The greeting actually stands out a little better than this picture shows and I used Doodlebug letters to spell it out.

I hope your are all in good health and continue to be so!!

Brunhilde will always love you

Morning - its very windy here today but the trainers will be getting an outing as I didn't leave the house yesterday... we had a work night out on Friday so felt a little delicate !!!
I did however manage to do some colouring which included the beautiful Brunhilde from Dr Digi .
So the calendar dictates that Valentines day is next so I made it that Brunhilde was singing to her true love!

So I hope you have had or are having a more productive weekend than I have had so far.... today I am going to be super efficient... honestly! Ha yeah right!!!

All Dressed Up New Releases - Beautiful Mum

Wowzer - Have you seen all the new releases at All Dressed Up - they are just fantastic!!! I have used this gorgeous image called Beautiful Mum and I will probably be giving it to my Mum for Mothers day so ssshhh! Please don't tell! 
You can see what the Design team have done with all four of the new images over at the All Dressed Up Blog

I used a paper from My Sweetest thing collection from My Minds eye to make a panel on the base card. I printed and coloured the image and then used a My Favourite things scalloped stitched edge die to cut the wavy edge which I rasied slightly on 3d foam. I added a strip of Green nail heads (Dont known why they are called this but they are like a metallic enamel dot!) and finally some diamond stickles in the middle of the flowers and a little on the patterned paper.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Watering can - Blue Greys
Leaves - Grass, Lush Green & Pine.
Flowers - Pink Pearl & Maroon / Gold, Lemon, Yellow & Summer Sun / Carmine, Baby Pink & Pink Mittens / Canary, Halloween & Bright Orange.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
The Crafty Addicts - CAS
Aloha Friday - Flowers 
Crafty Calender - Mums Day

Don't forget All Dressed Up have a Themed challenge running on Facebook and an Always anything goes with ADU monthly challenge on the blog  -I'd love to see your creations and inspiration with these images!

Spring clean Sonia.

Morning - I hope you have all popped over to the Dr Digi facebook page and joined our little competition to win some freebies... if not get yourself there now... you just have to like and share the pinned post for a chance to win!!

Today I am sharing a card with you today that I made for a friends Mother in law who loves cleaning!! This image is from Dr Digi and called Spring Clean Sonia
So cleaning...? Personally I don't do much of it but luckily the other half does get some odd enjoyment from it. (Im too busy crafting!!) Are you planning a big spring cleaning frenzy??

I used a My Favourite things die cut to make the banner from mirri card and used Doodlebug letters to spell out the  name. I cut a section of paper from My Minds Eye The Sweetest Thing collection and then glued a stripe of ribbon and the banner over the top. I used promarkers to colour the Make It Crafty die cut happy and glued the two layers together. I cut a section from a Happy Birthday clear sticker from Kaisercraft and added this to the ribbon.. Finally I added a row of gems across the top and a few scattered around the image.

I used these promarkers and Flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin -  Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice with Baby Pink cheeks and Powder Blue eyes.
Hair & mop - Chestnut, Raw Sienna, Caramel & Cinnamon.
Bucket, Apron & shoes - Blue greys
Gloves -Lemon, Canary & Summer Sun
Skirt - Fresh Bloom, Tropical Orchid, Wild Cranberry & Maroon.
Top - Pink Mittens, Baby Pink & Carmine
Bucket head & cloth -  Vanilla, Champagne & Linen

Thanks for stopping by... forget the spring clean... just go an play with your crafty stash and claim you are "sorting" it!!
