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,

Hello from 2017!

Morning - I have scheduled this post in advance as I fully expect I will be feeling a little delicate this morning after a New Years Eve celebration in Abersoch with friends.
I can not get over how quickly the last year has gone - only seems like yesterday we were planning our wedding and doing our invites on New Years day 2016!

So this year my resolution is to take better care of myself... little things like moisturising regularly and using leave in conditioner!! Nothing major!! Although we have said we will do a dry January and I would really like to get back to running after a few months rest due to injury to my hip. I need to drink more water and eat more fruit and less chocolate (But there is soooo much of it from Christmas and you can't throw it away!!) So hopefully I will get a waist like our Petunia Butterthwaite in my card below but I ain't holding my breathe!!! Although I could give her ample hips a miss!!

This card was simple to make - I cut some stripes of patterned paper from My Favourite things pad called Fun and Frolicks and glued them to the edges. I used a fine black pen to doodle around the edge and add the dots. The greeting is from Pebbles and the 2017 is from Doodlebug.

I used these promarkers and Flexmarkers on the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft peach, Coral & Spice.
Shoes, glasses and lips - Poppy & Cocktail pink.
Hair -  Cloud blue & Powder blue.
Costume or leotard? - Soft Lime, Lime Zest, Lime Twist & Pear Green.

I hope you like her and that 2017 brings you everything you wish for.

Morning Brew

 Morning - Todays Dr Digi image I've used is called Door Mouse and I have teamed it up with the I LOVE TEA paper from Tea & Bickies background papers. 
I don't know about you but I pretty much feel like this little mouse every morning when I am having my first brew... I will admit I am definitely not a morning person and often having to be in work for 7.00 am is not good for me. The only thing that gets me through is copious amount of really hot TEA! And this is now in My Dr Digi mug that I am very privileged to have received... they are certainly worth entering the challenge for!!

 

This card was pretty simple and easy. I cut a panel of the paper and glued it to the card base and used a pen to doodle the edge. I stuck a paper doily in the middle and a strip of red ribbon over the top. I coloured the image and then used a Lawn Fawn stitched circle to die cut it out. I mounted this on top of the doily with 3d foam and job was done!!

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -
Tea pot - Burgandy, Cardinal red, Ruby & Red
Mouse - Tan, Champagne, Raw Sienna, Cinnamon
Mouse mouth and ears - Baby Pink, Blush & Antique Pink.
Cool Grey 2 to shadow.

Right Time for me to put the kettle on!!
