Bertie Bunny

Morning - Im still sticking with the Easter theme and animals! Today is week two for the I love Promarkers challenge where there are two sponsors Live Long Crafts and Digital Delights. The theme is Swirls and/or Pearls  and I have used an image called  Bertie Bunny 

I covered the background card with Two tone orange bazzill card and then mounted the carrot patterned paper from Echo Park - Hoppy Easter collection on to green. I used my Friskars cutter to cut a circle which I glued to the bottom right corner and then cut to size. I coloured Bertie Bunny with promarkers and cut around the image and then nestled his amongst the grass die cut from Marianne Design. I used a greeting from Pebbles which I also mounted and then added some pearls to swirl around the image. Finally I used a little glaze in his nose to make it shine. 

I used these promarkers & Flexmarkers - 
Bertie - Warm Greys

Feet & ears - Blossom & Rose Pink

Flower - Summer Sun & Gold, Cloud blue shading. 

Carrot - Gold, Bright Orange & Halloween 

Leaves - Lime Zest & Grass. 

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

Thanks for hopping over! 

Hope you've all had a lovely Easter.

Harry Potter

There is a new challenge today at I Love Promarkers and the theme is to use More than 3 Layers. 
I have had this image from Tiddly Inks but never quite known what to use it for, but then I was asked to make a birthday card for a young Lady called Jade who is turning 13yrs. She loves Harry Potter and this Wizard and Wizardette digi was perfect to put together to be the three famous characters. The card is from her brother so it couldn't be too mushy or girlie. I hope this is the exact balance with a bit of pink and glitter.

The background is from Mambi Paper which is lovely with a green foil effect and I die cut the Banner using a Die-namics Die cut from Simple Stories DIY Boutique range. I added the Black gem swirls which are from Hobbycraft and some Cosmic Shimmer and glaze to the 
Letters are from Doodlebug and The green glitter card is also from Doodlebug. The Enamel dots are ones I made myself by melting Perle beads. (This was so easy to do - just google it!)
I got the big glittery resin owl from Ebay - Im not sure what make he is but he is fab!!


The promarkers and Flexmarkers I used are -
Scarves - Red Sweater, Burgandy & Mustard & Sleigh Bells.
Cloaks & shoes - Cool greys.
Trousers  - Warm Greys
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice.
Harry's Hair - Warm Greys and Umber
Hermione's Hair - Sandstone, Cappucino, Cocoa & Henna
Ron's Hair -  Spice, Burnt Orange,

Jane's 40th Birthday.

I'm a little late posting this card as I have been away this weekend at my friends 40th Birthday party at there house in Llanbedrog.
Jane is one of the many friends turning 40 this year. I've know her since I was about 4 yrs old and is more like a sister really, so I know I can get away with a cheeky card! The comment says, "By the time she turned 40, Jane had mastered Multi-tasking." And I know for a fact that she uses her Laptop on the loo!!

The party was fab and we all had lots to drink. I made Vodka jelly and there was a bouncy castle - which we allowed the kids to play on for a little while.
The image is from Dr Digi and is called Airfresh Fiona. I added some gem swirls from the spray of the airfreshner over the top of the background paper. I mounted the orange cut out paper from K& Co onto Black to make it stand out and I mounted the image and caption onto black also. The caption I did on the computer. I then added some red and black ribbon to tie the colours together and a Happy Birthday die cut in mirri card. I'm pleased with how it turned out.

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image -
Skin - Spice, coral, soft peach, blush & Antique white.
Toilet and roll - Blue Greys
Computer - Warm greys
Top - Buttercup, mustard & Pinapple crush.
Cushion - Red, poppy, Ruby & Cardinal red.
Plant - Terracotta & Leaf green.
Jeans - Denim Blue, Powder blue & Capri blue.
Hair - Terracotta, Walnut & Henna.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges :
Ladybug Crafts - Special birthdays.
Scrap & Craft - birthday celebration.
Through the Purple Haze - Funny.

I'll try to be a more prompt next weeks with my posting!

This is Mystic Mabel and you can find her here... She is expecting you to visit!

Card Recipe -
The Stripped paper is from Echo Park - Country Drive collection & the Cloud paper is from Doodlebug. I created the greeting using letter stickers from Websters Pages and they are a great easy size to use. The Gem swirls are from a pack I got at Create and Craft. The aperture was cut using a Spellbinders Die and I used 3D foam to give the card and Image some dimension.

I coloured Mabel with Promarkers & Flexmarkers as always -
Head Scarf - Plum, Mulberry, Boysenberry & Orchid.
Earings - Buttercup, Sunflower & Sleigh Bells.
Top - Magenta, Carmine, Baby Pink, Muted Pink - with Ice Grey 5 & 3 to the shade the inside of the sleeves.
Hair - Black, Henna, Burnt Umber & Saddle Brown. 

Table cloth - Honeydew, Pastel Green, Mint Green. The topper is Pastel Blue and Bluebell with trims of the yellows and pinks.

I'm really pleased with how the Crystal Ball has turned out. I coloured behind it and them covered it with Glaze which I sprinkled Cosmic Shimmer glitter into whilst it was still wet.

Thanks for stopping by - But Mabel already told me you would! (:(|)x

Weddings - others and ours...

Evening all - a Wedding card to show you that I actually made last week but couldn't show until after the wedding. I used this lovely Stamping Bella image which is romantic without being mushy! I have also been to a Wedding Fair this week to get ideas for Our wedding (which isn't till May 2016!)

The image is coloured with Promarkers and I also added a little Wink of Stella sparkle to the dress and glitter to the flowers.

I used Grace Taylor papers which I cut a heart from using Spellbinders. I set the digital image behind the heart on the coordinating paper. I added a matching ribbon and some Diamante swirls near to a resin bird.

I addeda greeting from Pebbles and personalised the card with Websters pages letters and numbers for the date. I addeda few more Diamante gems. 

Mothers day Cards

Sorry the light is a bit dodgy on this photos but I really wanted to show up the sparkle so had to use the lamp. I LOVE the Doodlebug glitter used on her tail. It is made up of tiny little discs so is perfect for scales! The image is from Tiddly Inks -This is the first time I've coloured her up but will defo be using her much more often! I've also been using my Silhouette Cameo... the background is a digital cut wave pattern and so is the seaweed boarder. I've added a load of gems and some foam Thickers letters.

This is SOG Super Mae - I made this for a young teenage boy to give to his mum for Mothers Day. I used die-namics City scape and the hearts background. Both images were coloured with Promarkers and the greeting was created with letters from Doodlebug.

This card uses my latest Stamping Bella Uptown girl stamp coloured (as always ) with my Promarkers. I added a couple of Prima flowers but kept it fairly simple as the background is so busy. I cut the frame and letters using the Silhouette - I'm getting the hang of the machine now.

This was the card I made for my Mum - we have a pooch like this called Bertie. 

I used the Silhouette to cut this silhouette of the dog and used the letters I had cut from the other card to add on this one. I then just added a couple of gems. 

 I had to put a picture of him in too! This is him peering through some stair railings. He is a Cairn Terrier and has a lovely gentle nature. 

SOG Birthday challenges.

Hello, Found some time this week to create these new cards. I have entered the first three into the 3rd Birthday celebration challenge.

This one was entered into the FAIRY challenge. I've used MME papers with loads of flowers and die cut thin leaves. There is a couple of resin flowers and a a button in there also. I then added the obligatory gem swirls and a resin owl! To break up the white I used my promarker to make some dots as a background. I'm really pleased with how she turned out.

This was for the Shopping list challenge. I picked three things from the list which was Ribbon, Bling and 2 x patterned papers. I used some lovely new Crate paper papers with more gem bling, a button and twine. 

This card I found the hardest - the challenge was grey with a pop of colour. So I decided to use Blue but I just wanted to add more and more of it! I enjoyed colouring in monochrome and think it looks quite effective. The paper is Authentique and I used warm greys from promarkers to colour Tropical Mae. The greeting says, "wishing you a beautiful day." and is from October Afternoon. 

 This card I made as I was on a roll with the layout. I can't remember what paper this is - had it for a while but its lovely - ooo remembered its actually K&co. I added some pale blue seem biding ribbon, a paper doily, gems and some paper flowers. I left the tag blank so I can add a custom greeting.

Don't forget if you see a card you love - they are all available to purchase or can be custom made for whatever special occasion you want... I love a challenge! Speak soon, (:(|)x
