Thanks with Peonies

Morning everyone - the first challenge of 2018 has begun at I Love Promarkers. The theme is Thank You and it is sponsored by Ike's Art. 
I kept my card quite Clean and Simple and printed the image twice to layer it up slightly, which I hav tried to show on the second photo.  

 I used a corner rounder punch on the image and the gold mirri mat. I added gold pen on the dots and also in the middle of the flowers. I used gold mirri to die cut the Thanks 6 times and layered these together.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Leaves - Bright green, Emerald & Sea Green
Flowers - Maroon, Vermillion, Hot Pink & Cerise
Shading - Cloud Blue & Powder Blue.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -

I hope you like the way it has finished up and you are full of creativity to start 2018!!

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.

All Dressed Up Design Team !!

Well you will never guess what... (I know I've kind of ruined the surprise in my post title but humour me!!) ... Go on ... Try and guess... Yep I was picked to be part of the All Dressed Up design team!!!
I can now post this here as all the new Design Team members have now been unveiled and introduced over at the All Dressed Up Challenge blog. Why not go and see all the other fab creations and talented design team members by clicking on the highlighted link.

So without further ado - here is my card. I have used an image called Time for Walkies and you can get this from Funky Kits but you can see lots of other designs in the Esty shop.  I feel really privileged to be part of this team as I think Wendy's images are just gorgeous! (And I got a custom made watermark too! Bonus!)

To make this card I cut  a panel from My Minds Eye - The Sweetest Thing Collection and mounted it onto Navy Bazzill card. I picked this paper as I thought it mirrored the pattern of the knitting on the hat! I then mounted the flowery panel on to some shimmery pale blue card which I had used a Martha Stewart boarder punch to create the edge. I also tied the yellow ribbon around this panel and then hand tied a little bow, which I then glued on.
I used my new Lawn Fawn Stitched edge dies (OOO I love these!!!) to cut the image panel and I used 3d foam to adhere this to the card. I used a Pebbles accent sticker for the greeting and finally added some co-ordinating gems from Doodlebug.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice. Baby Pink cheeks.
