Let it Rain - Saturated Canary - Passion for Promarkers DT


Good morning,  I hope every had a good Easter holiday.  It's Tuesday and that means a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers, where our theme chosen by Julie  is 'Weather'. It can be sunshine. rain, snowing or windy.  Lots of things to choose from.  I have used 'Let it Rain' from Saturated Canary.  I have had the image for a couple of years, and finally got round to using it.


She is cut with a faux nestie with more SB grand ovals behind her.  The papers are all from Nitwits 'puddle jumping' set.The ribbon, charm, buttons and dazzler are from my stash.


She is coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers. I drew in the extra rain drops and added glossy accents to them.


The inside reflects the front image.

Good morning and welcome to my blog. It was 4 years ago on 8th of March that I started blogging with this card

http://starscards.blogspot.co.uk/2012/03/lotv-challenge.html

How things have changed over the years.  I thought my colouring was really good hmmmmmmmmmmmm. no the wonder there were no comments added to it. The post really made me smile. No description, nothing about what was used to create it.  Just the photo posted.
So my blogging friends I have a £20 voucher to give away for 'Live and Love Crafts. to celebrate my 4th Anniversary



All you have to do if you are one of my followers is add your name below and I will draw the winner next Saturday.

Lady Spring - Faery Ink - Fussy and fancy DT


Good Morning I am here with my second of two cards for today. It's a new challenge at Fussy and Fancy today, and the Lovely Annie has chosen the theme 'Things with Wings' so what a huge area this  covers, from fighter bombers for men to tiny fairies for girls. Of course I have gone for a fairy :).  This little lady is 'Lady Spring' from Faery Ink, and I love it so much I coloured a blue and a pink (for another challenge) version.  As the challenge is things with wings I also added a 'couple' of butterflies :)


She is cut using a TL hexagon die and nestie. The butterflies are all from MB and the card is coordinations and tonic mirror board.(Jody was right you don't get 'threads' when you use this mirror board).


She is coloured with Triamarkers, flexmarkers and Promarkers.  I added Nuvo glitter to her wings and  flower headband, and some Nuvo drops to the toadstool.

Santa's Helpers - Tiddlyinks - Santa is Coming - Michele Roos - Winter Wonderland DT


I'm here with my first card today with my Winter Wonderland hat on. Our theme this week is 'Must have a charm', a really easy one. For my card I have used a TiddlyInks image 'Santa's Helpers' combined with papers from M R Designs,


I think this is sooooooooo cute. She is fussy cut and added to a M R Designs paper from the Santa is coming pack, The top layer has a Joanna Sheen snowflake border on the bottom, and all other layers are straight cut. I added gold mirror board, pearls, ribbon, charm and dazzler from my stash. I think the sentiment is from Diesire.


A close up view which I hope shows the flower soft and glamour dust on her trims.  She is coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers.


A view of the inside also using a M R Designs paper and a sentiment.  I love the way Michele ties all her images together.

A side view. The mirror board is from Tonic, and cuts really well without leaving 'threads'

My Fair Lady - ~Sassy Studio Designs - PFP DT

Good morning. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers.  Our theme  chosen by Anna is 'Girls Only', so get out all your ribbons, bows, glitter and gems. I haven't quite used all of those, but nearly did :)
Today I have used our sponsor's image 'My Fair Lady'.  It's another take of one I did a while ago.


When using this image I just have to go with black and white :)
She is cut using a SB grand oval and matted onto a grand scalloped oval.  I bought the black white and silver glitter card ages ago with the intention of using it with this image. The 'lace' is from Joanna Sheen, and ribbon, gems, feathers and flower are from my stash.


She is of course coloured with Triamarkers, flexmarkers and Promarkers.  I added Distress ink to the edges and copious amounts of Nuvo glitter to her hat, dress and umbrella.


The black feathers and little silver fan charm were the finishing touches.


This shows the inner of the card with the theme carrying through from the front.

We have a very generous sponsor this week in Sassy Studio Designs
They are offering the lucky winner a voucher for $20 to spend in store

I hope you will find the time to check out the fabulous cards my other teamies have made for your inspiration here.

Thanks for taking the time to luck
