Me, Dr Digi & Making Cards Magazine.

Well.... who has seen it?? My first time in a printed magazine Making Cards! I was so excited to see the projects in print that I did for Dr Digi's House of Stamps.  (It's been a hard kept secret!) But here it is.... And to top it off - one of my cards is on the front cover!! There is also a great post over on the Dr Digi Facebook page....

 

I'm not going to go into detail of the recipes as I feel like this is covered by the magazine but I do want to show these fabulous images that I got to play with in a bit closer detail! Plus there is a 50% Discount code in the magazine for these images.

So here is Angling Andy -}

And the fabulous Aubery Bumblethope

And last but definitely not least - the wonderful Weekend Walter

I hope you enjoy seeing these pics and will use them as inspiration to get these images and create your own cards which we would love to see over at Dr Digi's facebook page.

We also have  a competition running at the Facebook page... you just need to like the page  and share the pinned post to be in with a chance to win some great digis of your choice!

Thanks for reading my self-indulgent post!!!

Do what makes you happy ...

Morning -
I'm back today with my "Go-to" Dr Digi image - Weekend Walter. I love colouring him up with his big round tummy!
I have kept it simple and let the image and greeting speak for themselves - Be Happy and do what you love. I am a creature of habit and I love nothing more than an brew and lazing round in my PJ's!

I covered the base card with the zig zag paper from My Minds Eye Find your Wings collection. The Greeting stripe is from the same collection. 

I printed Walter out twice - once onto My Favourite things paper and cut the shape of his dressing gown out. Once I had coloured Walter in using promarkers - I glued the dressing gown pieces on. 

I stuck Walter on with 3d foam and added a few co-ordinating enamel dots from Doodlebug and also an enamel heart to mirror the heart on his mug. 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers -

Skin - Usual

Slippers - Soft Lime, Lime Twist, Lime Green & Pear Green. 

Pants - Sky blue, True blue & Royal Blue. 

Tea -Poppy, Cocoa and powder blue shading. 

Hair and shading on dressing gown - Cool Grey 2 & 4

   

Have a happy and lazy Sunday.Liz (:(|)x 

Fathers Day.

Hi - I didn't get round to blogging my card for Dr Digi last week so this week you have two in quick succession !! The first one I made for my Dad for Fathers Day. I've been on afternoons you see this week and so haven't really had chance to catch up with the blog. But Dad did get his card on time, along with some Guniness Sausages I bought him! (I know how to spoil him!!)

I used Kaisercraft crossword paper for the background and a strip of MFT Just delightful paper - both of which were mounted onto bazzill. I used a Papermania letter die to cut the letters and a friskar cutter to cut around the image and frame. 

The image I have used is called Weekend Walter and he is one of my favourite Dr Digi images and the one that got me hooked on them in the first place! 

 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers - 

Skin - Antique White, blush, soft peach, coral, spice.

Slippers - Aniseed, Green shoots, Grass & Forest green.

Newspaper -  Warm grey 2 & 4

Dressing gown -Red, Poppy, Cardinal Red & Burgandy.

Pants - Petrol Blue, Reef Blue, Powder Blue & Grey green. 

I hope you like this card and I will be back in a few hours with another Dr Digi Dt card. 

Hope your having a lovely weekend!!!

Les' Retirement card.

 Morning Everyone - I know you will be reading this in the light of day but I am writing this in our holiday home in Wales after having just got in from eating the biggest Mexican meal and drinking a jug or two of Cosmopolitan! I really feel like I need to let it all hang out and relax now just like Walter!!

This card has been made for the boyfriends work buddy who is soon to retire. He has some grand plans for his free time but they all joke that he will end up spending his days sat around in his underpants, so Weekend Walter  was the perfect choice.   And because its a Digi image I was able to make this a big 8 x 8" card so there was plenty of room for all the good wishes.

The background papers are all from Echo Park - Note to Self collection as are the letters I've used for the greeting. I have edged the pattern papers in Bazzill Basics deep red. I have used 3d foam to stick Walter on and make him stand out a little. I also put a little bit of glaze on to his glasses.

I have used these Promarkers and Flex markers -
Skin - Antique White, Blush, Soft Peach, Coral & Spice
Dresing gown - Reef Blue, Twilight Sky, Polar Blue,Caribbean Blue & April showers.
Hair & newspapers - Warm Greys
Slippers - Saffron, Raw Sienna, Chestnut & Burnt Umber.
Pants - Ivory,Satin & Pastel Beige. Heatwave, Cardinal red & Burgundy.
I also went right the way around his outline with Icicle.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges -
Doodle Pantry Digital - ATC
Craftyhazelnuts pattern paper challenge. 
CCC Digi creations - Add a sentiment.


Have a fab day and week. I will try not to eat so much for the rest of the week!!
