Fairy Needle - Mo's ~Digital Pencil - Winter Wonderland DT


Good morning everyone, and welcome to my new follower Denise, glad to have you join us. Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where our host is Lynsey, and our theme is another nice simple one 'Tie a Bow'. I know most of my cards have bows on them, and today I have finally used an image I have had for ages 'Fairy Needle' from Mo's Digital Pencil.


I have been playing with my new 'toy' The latest release from Tattered Lace, wow it is so easy to make stepper cards using the die to cut the card and having all the layers ready to cut and add too. I simply cut a piece of 300g cardstock, added coordinations and then some paper from my stash.


She is coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, and believe it or not the background has been airbrushed with my ebosser in the palest pink I could find.


I added some MB spools and needle, and a LOTV sentiment mounted onto a SB tag. The scissors, spool button, pearls and ribbon are from my stash.


This shows the back of the card, again using the dies that come with the easel die to cut the layers, and I added some 'lace' again cut with a TL die.

We are being sponsored this week by Digi Stamp boutique, who are offering a £10 voucher for you to use in store.


I hope you will take the time to check out the gorgeous cards the Snowflakes have made for your inspiration this week here.

Thanks for taking the time to look

I am entering the following challenges :-

Drumming Teddy - Pink Gem Designs - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning and welcome to my new follower Lianna...... wooooow I reached 200, must sort out a give away to celebrate. (Watch this space). Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where our theme is 'For A Child'. A nice easy one, I got an early birthday card made for my great, great nephew  :), and you can see what his name is .
I have used a Pink Gem image 'Drumming Teddy' who is just too cute.


He is fussy cut and mounted onto paper from LOTV. The name and age are cut using Desire Dies. I added glossy accents to his hat, eyes and buttons, but have to admit it looks weird on his hat in the photos. The only other addition was some card candy.


He is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and some Gold metallic marker on his hat, cuffs and drum.


The inside does match the front and his hat looks a little better on here. I also double cut the letters to give a gold highlight.


We are being sponsored this week by Pink Gem Designs, who are offering 2 digi's of the winners choice from their designs


The other Snowflakes ladies have made some beautiful cards for your inspiration this week, and I hope you will take the time to visit their blogs.

Toot Toot - LOTV - Passion for Promarkers DT


Ooops nearly forgot to post this one :(,.. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where our theme chosen by the lovely Marie is 'One for the Boys'.  Nice and simple.  I have used a LOTV image that I bought last year and finally inked up 'Toot Toot'.


A really simple layout. Straight cut imaged layered onto pastel mirror board.  The backing paper and screw brads are from my stash. The sentiment was from a freebie magazine st and mounted onto a SB fancy label.


He is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers with a little Prisma pencil for more depth.  The backgound uses MB clouds as stencils and filled in using my E Brush. I also added some glossy accents to the windscreen and head lights.


The inside does match the front.



We have two generous sponsors for this week’s challenge, so double the chance to win a prize. Firstly we have Letraset who are offering one lucky winner a Promarker Manga 12 pen set (Fantasy).
