Speedy recovery turtle

Morning - this is my latest post for I love Promakers and this weeks theme is Get Well Soon. The sponsor is QKR Stampede and the image I have used is called Black eye Turtle.

  

Confession time - I picked this image as I wanted to make a pun on speedy recovery but tragically I didn't have enough Letter "e" rub ons so I had to go with the greeting of GET WELL SOON! These rub ons are on a Jillibean soup sticker.

I have used green spotty paper from Doodlebug Kraft in colour collection and the tree paper is from Echo Park Country Drive. I mounted everything onto Brown Bazzill shimmer card.  

I cut the image out using the Friskars cutter and layered this onto the brown also. 

I raided my stash for ribbon and a button which I tired with some twine. 

I used these pro/flexmarkers to colour the turtle -

Shell - Lime Zest, Lime twist, Lime green & Pear greem

Body - Emerald & lush green

Eye - Aubergine, purple velvet & wild orchid.

I promised previously to show you a picture of my stashes and my craft room so... 

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Love to scrap - ATG
Craft your passion - ATG
Quirky crafts - Animals

Right troops - all for now.
Speak soon,

Looking Pretty Bird!

Here's my latest card for I love Promarkers. This week the challenge theme is Things with wings and the Sponsor is QKR Stampede.
I've used a digi image called  Looking Pretty  and you can find her by clicking on the link. I wanted to make her bright and pretty despite her stubbly chubby legs!!

I used Doodlebug Tangerine glitter paper and mounted some dark blue almost purple paper from The Paper company for the background. I die cut the Frame from silver mirri card using a Sizzix die and used this to frame the saying "What makes you different, makes you beautiful." This was from a digi set from Pink Petticoat. I added three prima pearls in co-ordinating three colours of the Bird along with some gem Swirls to add some extra glamour. I also used a silver pen and a little star dust Stickles to highlight bits of the birds feathers. I also added a little glaze on her beak to make it shine.

I coloured the image using these promarkers & Flexmarkers -
Legs & Beak - Buttercup, Tulip & Canary.
Feathers - Baby pink, Cerise, Carmine & Magenta.
Tail feathers - Gold, Bright Orange & Orange.

I'm pleased with how she has turned out - It reminds me of the Song "Shake your Tail Feathers!" Makes me want to shimmy around!!

Papertake Weekly - Trio Tastic.
Top Tip Tuesday - Name That Tune.

Keep on Mooving On?

Hello, I'm here with my latest card for DT at I LOVE PROMARKERS. The image is called Raiding the Fridge and is from QKR Stampede.

This weeks theme is "GLITTER" - Easy!! I put glitter on almost everything!! I kept the card relatively simple and the colour on the card quite minimal. I found the background cow print free on the internet just from a Google search. I knew straight away the card would be Pink, Black and white.

I thought for a while about the greeting and decided to move away for the idea of the cow blocking the fridge but I knew I wanted a pun. (Who doesn't love a pun?!!) So I thought this greeting of "Mooving on" would be good for a leaving card. It is also quite ironic as the same day I sprained my ankle so there was little "MOOVING" going on with me! Bit frustrating as I was just managing to run 5 kilometers in 30 mins but I will have to wait for a while to get back training. On the plus side - more time to craft!
