Retro bathtime with Dr Digi.

Morning - Here is today's creation using Bath Time Deirdery from Dr DIGI.
and I have gone a bit retro. I went with an advacado green bath tub like we had growing up and then to match I added some flying ducks... well birds were all I had!! I reckon our Deirdery would not get rid of anything that still worked - I don't think she is a slave to fashion!

In truth I have fell out of love with modern technology today as my digital harddrive is refusing to work so I can't access any of my digital images or photos or anything and I am pretty gutted ! I hope they can be retrieved so fingers crossed but luckily I had this image and a couple of others already printed.

  The papers are all from Tilda Summer Blues collection and I cut them all to slightly different lengths. I added the resin birds which I think I got from ebay sometime ago and used silicon to give them a firm stick to the base kraft card. I tied a length of pink satin twine from Hobbycraft around the side and added the image with 3d foam to stand out a little. 

I used a gold pen on the feet and tap and added some diamond stickles to the bubbles but you can't see that very well on this photo. 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour our Deirdery - 

Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & spice. 

Hair - Pink Mittens, Baby Pink and Pastel pink. 

Hat - Powder blue.

Duck - Lemon, Canary & sleigh bells. 

Bath, matt & pillow - fresh meadow, apple, green shoots, apple cider & moss.

Edge of matt - Prussian

Paper & pipes - Warm grey 1 & 2

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

Happy Birthday Birdie.

Hello - Its time for a new challenge at I love Promarkers. And this fortnights sponsor is Little Miss Muffett and I was lucky enough to pick one of the images for the DT and I chose  Polka Dot Pals Rebecca.  I just loved this little girl with the Parrot.

The paper is from a pad I got from The Range and the birds have  a lovely glittery shimmer to them. The spotty paper is from a pad of Studio Calico called Print shop. The ribbon is from my stash and matched perfectly the mirri card that I used with the Happy Birthday die cut from Paper smooches. Finally I cut around the image and added a little resin bird in the top corner.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Antique white, coral, soft peach, Blush, & Spice with baby pink cheeks.
Hair -  Primrose, lemon, canary & mustard.
cardigan -  Pink Mittens & Baby pink
Trousers -  Apple cider, apple, green shoots & Honeydew.
Shoes - Warm grey 1 & 5
Parrot - Trick or treat, carmine & magenta with Pear green, lime green, lime zest & Soft lime.
Beak - Walnut and warm grey

Hope to see lots of you enter the challenge and looking forward to seeing what you make!

Cheeky Bingo.

I've recently been using Die cut tickets and Bingo cards a lot! They are great for Birthdays by highlighting the age. So I thought I'd post a couple of examples here for you guys to see -

The images are from The Greeting Farm. This one is called Cheeky Rockabilly. 

The papers are from Echo Park - This and That Grateful range.

I used Spellbinders to cut the small die that highlights the 30 with some gems. I made some paper bunting and also added some natural coloured lace. The image is coloured with Promarkers as always! 

This Greeting Farm image is called Cheeky mate. I love this image - I think they are all fun and live up to the name. I love the retro look of them. This card I kept to a naval colour scheme of red , white and blue. The paper is from Doodlebug and the scalloped circle from Spellbinders. I used a red and white stripey ribbon and some Peel offs - including the greeting which I coloured with Promarkers. I think my peel off collection gets neglected these day and we need to start a campaign to bring them back!! 

I actually made this card a while ago but forgot to post it and as its also uses TGF Cheeky Rockabilly - I thought I'd be a bit cheeky and stick it in here to show it off! I really like the colours and tried to keep it bright and funky but a bit different with the grey background. I added some gem swirls and a resin bird. The Happy Birthday is from Craftwork Cards. The mirror frame is from Sizzix and the paper flowers are finished with some colourful resin flowers.
