That's Amore for All Dressed Up

Have I ever told you how much I love the All Dressed Up images ? They are just fab and I really enjoy colouring them and creating with them so I consider myself very lucky to have all these beauties available to play with.
You could get your little crafty mitts on 3 of these images - that you get to choose and for free by playing along and entering our challenge. The winner of this prize is picked at random so everyone has an equal chance to win. You just need to join us and show us what you have made with these gorgeous digital stamps!

So for my new challenge card I have used a very aptly named image called Amore. 
I'm really loving black & white stripes at the mo with gold or silver metallic embellishments!

 I used a die from Lawn Fawn with gold mirri and cut some little flags from co-ordinating card. I added some letters from Doodlebug to spell out the name of the young lady I had made this card for and mounted it all on red mirri.
I hope you like her and we will see lots of you enter our new March challenge #91

New shoes can change your life.

Morning - there is a new challenge beginning at I love Promarkers and the theme is to use 3 of something - fab theme isn't it as I've always been told three gives a good balance in design. For my card I used a sponsor image from Bugaboo called Frame it - Cinderella.
I used three coloured matts to layer the image as well as three colours and three embellishments with the pearl gems. I coloured the image with Promarkers and I added loads of stardust stickles to make the shoe shine... afterall everyone needs sparkly shoes and who knows when a pair of shoes will change your life!!

 

I hope you will all enter this fab challenge - can't wait to see what you create! 

Hope you like my Cinders!

Cute Zebra says HI!

Morning - the new challenge has just been launched at I love Promarkers . This week’s theme is Anything Goes with the option of   No Patterned papers  and the sponsor is  Fabrika Fantasy
I have used an image called  Cute Zebra 3. I love his little fat belly and all the round shapes so I used that as my design as I really struggle to not use patterened papers!!                                                 

 

I I coloured him with promarkers and used a Lawn Fawn circle die to cut him out and the red mirri card. I added some blue dots from Papermania and a greeting from Pebbles. As I am still only working on minimal crafty tools and goodies - I didn't have any glaze available to make his balloon shiny unfortunatly. I cannot wait to get my craft room back but it is still some weeks off... think a kitchen and bathroom need to take priority!! Its like camping in my own house at the mo!!! 

Right all from me, Have a great day and I hope you will all join in the challenge.

Party time with Photocopier Pheobe

Yep - Party season is on us.... every weekend at the mo and it's costing me a fortune!!! Luckily none of my parties take place anywhere near a photocopier or I reckon someone would think this was a good idea like Photocopier Pheobe (Yep - probably me!!)  

So this card was used by covering the base card with gold glittery card from Websters page - All that Glitters collection which I mounted onto red mirri card. The greeting is also from the same collection. I added a little ribbon and also a glittery peel off that I shaped with to be a banner.

I covered Pheobe's dress with Spectrum Noir sparkle pen as every girl needs some shimmer at Christmas right?!

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour Pheobe -
Skin - Usual
Photocopier -  Warm Greys
Dress - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy
Hair -  Raw sienns, Cocoa, Chestnut & Henna
Glass- Cardinal red & Cloud blue.

Hope you all get to be a little bit naughty this festive season!!

St Davids Day with a Dragon.

Morning - I have made this card for the Welshies in my life. Wed 1st March is St Davids Day and what image would be better than a big red Welsh Dragon. This is an image called BBQ Dragon from Dr Digi,
Now don't be confusing this with me supporting the Welsh rugby team - I definitely do not!! (Come on England!) But my Godchildren live in Wales and try to teach me Welsh words but I've not picked up many that are useful!

I wanted to keep it white and green across the background so at to represent the Welsh Flag. I due cut the green patterned paper from American crafts Colour of memories collection using a MFT stitched edge boarder. The white paper is Swiss Dot from Bazzill and I also used this to die cut the clouds.
I mounted both pieces onto red mirri card and tied red twine around the - securing with a bow and then a little wooden die cut heard from Wycinanka. I used yellow and orange peel stickles on the flames to make them sparkle, along with silver pen on the spear. Finally I added three little yellow resin flowers that were the closest thing I had to Daffodils in my stash!!

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image -
Dragon - Red, Poppy, Ruby, Cardinal Red & Burgundy.
Flames - Summer Sun, Sunflower, Gold & Bright Orange.
Chicken - Tan, Raw Sienna & Cinnamon.

There is some big news coming later this week so stay tuned for that!! I know - I'm teasing you!
Have a lovely Sunday,

We have Undeniable Chemistry

Morning -  Today I am showing you the card I have made using Prof Dummkopf and I have combined this with papers from Taylored Expressions - Formula For Love paper collection and My Favourite things "Undeniable Chemistry" Diea and stamps.

I used the dies to create a shaker topper with the Chemistry bottles and filled them with Doodlebug chunky glitter (I learnt my lesson from my last shaker card and didn't overfill them but maybe I should have placed a little more in them!! Need to find that happy medium!!

I used MFT scalloped edge dies to cut a  stripe of red mirri just to separate the two different patterned papers and also MFT dies to make the connection tubes. I used the stamp saying "We have awesome chemistry"as a greeting inside the card.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the Prof. -

Skin - Usual

Jacket shaded with Blue Grey 1 & 2

Hair, Clipboard, Pants & shoes - Cool Greys

Jumper - Poppy, Ruby & Burgundy.

Tie - Black & Magenta

Shirt -  Baby Pink & Cerise. 

 

All from me for now - 

Have a great day,
