Green Apples.

Morning - Today sees a new challenge starting at The Paper Shelter.  And there is a photo for inspiration which you can see on the above link. I have used an image called Green Apples

All the papers I have used are from American Crafts Dear Lizzy - Lucky charm and I glued these to Kraft card. I die cut the image using My Favourite Things Wonky Stitched rectangle. I tied some twine through a large button and used Silicone to glue this to the card and some Papermania  natural lace. The greeting is a sticker from Maggie Holmes Crate paper collection.

Giraffe - For a Child.

There is a new challenge beginning today at I love Promarkers which is sponsored by Kenny K. The theme is For a Child and I have used an image called Giraffe 

 

I have used My Favourite things paper called Wild Things which is full of animal prints -  I thought this was perfect for the Giraffe. I die cut the image using MFT die-namics wonky rectangel stitched frame and over this I added the grass die cut from Joy of crafts which I cut using two different shades of green and layered together. 

I also used my brand new tree dies from Die-namics called Trees in the forest. I love that stitched edge! I used the same green bazzill shades and kraft card for the trunk. 

I stamped the Big hugs from Lawn fawn Big Scripty words and used the matching dies to cut this out. (It was my birthday so I treated myself to some new bits and bobs.. Oops!!) 

I used these promarkers and flexmarkers to colour the image - 

Tree leaves -  Leaf green, Green shoots, Chartreuse & Grass.

Trunk - Cinnamon & Cocoa

Wired for Sound

Morning All - Im on my own this weekend whilst the o't half is off on his stag do so I've had some quality time in my Craft room.
Today's post is using Wired for Sound. 
It reminds me of the 80's with the roller skates as when we were growing up there was a roller rink in town. This shut down but has recently re-opened and its cool again... I've not strayed in yet but reckon I'd look pretty much like this image - In my throw back Neon legwarms!!

I used papers from Simple Stories DIY Boutique for both the patterned panels which I mounted onto co-ordinated card stock. I die cut the image using a Lawn Fawn Wonky stitch rectangle. I also die cut the silver chevrons using a My Favourite things die. I added three green Doodlebug sprinkles in the top corner and then added the greeting using Doodlebug letters in pink. I used a little silver pen to highlight bits on the image.

I coloured the image using these promarkers & flexmarkers -
Skin - Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice.
Hair - Ice Grey 3 & 1 along with a little Cloud blue.
Pads & walkman - Ice Grey 1 to 5.
Top - Arctic blue, Sky blue & Azure
Shorts - Lime twist, Lime green & Bright green,
Skates - Babo pink, carmine, shocking pink, vermillion.

Hope you like it... I'm going to get my mix tape and find my Ghettoblaster!

Iron Dan

Hello - this is my latest creation for Dr Digi and I've used an image called Iron Dan.  
I really liked colouring this one in for some reason and used paper from My Minds Eye necessities to match his boxers!  

I kept the yellow colour by adding the striped paper from Echo Park dots and stripes collection and then used red Bazzill to die cut the Star using a nestibilities die. The greeting tag I die cut from Lawn Fawn Wonky stitched rectangle die and then added a Happy Birthday greeting from Kaisercraft. Finally I added some homemade enamel dots to add a little extra detail and used the Lawn Fawn edge dies to go around the edge before I glued everything together.

I used these promarkers & Flexmarkers to colour Iron Dan -
Skin- Antique white, blush, soft peach, coral & Spice.
Red, Poppy, Ruby & Burgandy
Gold & Summer Sun.
Powder blue on socks & eyes & power button.
Boxers - Cool grey 4 & 5
Instructions - Morning Mist & Sand dune.

I hope you like him.  I'm really pleased with how this has turned out and think it works great with the Kraft background.
