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

New images at ADU - Home Sweet Home

There are some gorgeous new images at All Dressed Up and today is my turn to showcase one of them called Home Sweet Home

I cut some patterned paper from a pad I got at The Range which is all glitters and glazed. Once I had coloured the image I framed it using a My Favourite things - inside / outside stitched die-namics die and mount both panels onto pink satin board from Create & Craft. I then cut two strips of thin co-ordinating ribbon around the corner and layered everything up. I used green nail heads from my stash and added these into the corners and also in a long line -at the bottom of this I glued a wooden bird embellishment.

I used these promarkers & flexmarkers to colour the image -
Birds & Butterflies - Pastel Green, Oasis & Frosted Jade with French Navy.
Flowers - Blossom, Cerise, Magenta & Vermillion.
Leaves - Lime Zest, Lime Green, Grass & Lush green.
Birdcage & Flowers - Buttercup, Canary & Gold

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

The background spotty paper is from My Favourite things Dots & Stripes sorbet and the flittered flower paper is from The Range.

I can't remember where the flower embellishments came from - sorry! but they matched the colours perfectly and I've had them in my stash for ages! I added a few gems and also a clear sticker greeting from Kaisercraft.

Looking Gorgeous from All Dressed Up

Today is the start of a new challenge at All Dressed Up blog  and the theme is always anything goes as long as you use an All dressed up image - and there are some beautiful digital images to make lovely cards. For my DT card I have used an image Looking Gorgeous from All Dressed up.
I was asked to make this card for a friend at work to give her sister and thought this image was perfect for a 40th. 

To make this card I used paper (which is Flittered!) from a pad I got in The Range. It doesn't seem to have a name but the make is Deco Time. I mounted this on Black card and then used a Lawn Fawn Cloud die on black card also and glued this behind the image panel. I mounted the image onto the patterned card using chunky 3D foam so it sits high.
I used some Clear gems on the necklace along with some Diamond stickles to add details on the flowers. The 40 are Glittery thickers called Eclair from American Crafts and I used black foam letters from Hobbycraft to spell out sister.

I used these Promarkers & Flexmarkers  -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice, with Baby pink cheeks.
Lips - Antique pink & Baby pink
Hair -  Buttercup, Pineapple Crush & Sleigh Bells
Braid - Aquamarine, Oasis & Island Lagoon.
Leaves - Leaf Green, Grass & Lush Green
Flowers - Gold, Orange & Bright Orange, Magenta, Red Sweater & Antique Pink, Slate, Baby pink & Antique Pink.

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