Petal - LOTV - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning and welcome to the last challenge of the year for Winter Wonderland. It is also the start of a few months where your cards or project needn't be Christmas themed. Our theme this week is Fussy and Fancy.  I have chosen to use 'Petal' from LOTV.

She is cut using SB majestic labels 25 and mounted onto a Marianne Anga Square. The pearls are from Hobby House and ribbon, lace and pin from my stash. I haven't added a sentiment as I think it can be an 'anything' card as she looks so thoughtful.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers. I also added a little Prisma pencil and some glamour dust to her wings. The background is distress ink.

The inside does reflect the front.

As this is our last challenge for 2014 it will last for 2 weeks and we have four great prizes on offer!  These are our generous sponsors:

£10 Voucher from the The Hobby House

£10 Voucher from Wild Orchid

£10 Voucher for Crafter's Companion

3 Digi's from Crafty Sentiments Designs

The girls on the design team have made some fabulous cards for you inspiration this week I hope you will pop over and see them here

Balloon Basket - LOTV

Good afternoon everyone. I thought I would share a card I made for a commission.  It's for a baby girl and I couldn't resist finally using this beautiful Stamp.

I have been playing with the new toy again (Ebrush) and think you will see lots more of these masked backgrounds. She is cut using SB grand ovals and mounted on a grand decorative oval. The corners are Joy crafts sentiment from Joanna Sheen and leaf flourishes from Marianne.  The papers are Dovecraft, flowers from WOC and charms, pearls, ribbon lace and butterfly from my stash.

She is coloured using promarkers and flexmarkers and I added glossy accents to the balloon and hearts and stickles to the stars.

The inside does reflect the front.

This is the box I made to match.

I am entering the following challenges

Moving Along With the Times challenge - December Birthdays (She was born last week)

Poinsettia Sprite - Aurora Wings - Passion for Promarkers Mega Christmas Challenge

Good morning everyone and welcome to the start of our mega Christmas challenge at Passion for Promarkers which runs from today until 6th January 2015. Yes the DT are taking a month long break but not before trying to encourage you to enter and try to win one of our fabulous prizes. I decided to use a gorgeous image from Aurora Wings and that's Poinsettia Sprite.

She is cut using Tattered Lace rectangles and mounted onto LOTV paper. The sentiment is from Memory Box and most of the flowers are from WOC with the addition of some birch cones from a local tree and leaves from table confetti.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers with the addition of Stickles glitter in red gold and green.

The inside does reflect the front but this time in reverse with the green based paper and ribbon.

I also added some holly branches from Sue Wilson.

Our theme for the Mega Christmas challenge is “bingo”.  You are welcome to make Christmas cards but as the challenge will still be running after the ‘BIG’ day you can of course make any type of creation as long as you use the bingo board.  As time is precious for our DT at this time of year we are limiting the number of entries you can make to just 3 for this month long challenge.  Please remember to be eligible for our prizes you must use your promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, metallic or aqua markers.

Winter Lights Wryn - Tiddlinks - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning everyone and welcome to a new challenge at Winter Wonderland, where our theme this week is 'North or South Pole'.  We want to see your festive makes featuring either a penguin or polar bear, or both.

I've had great fun playing with an early Christmas present, the Craftwell E Brush.  Unfortunately the pen holders for the Promarker range aren't available yet, but should be in the New Year.  You do get a red, blue and green Spectrum Noir with the set so I was still able to play. I have used the Tiddlyinks digi 'Winter Lights Wryn', who is riding on a polar bear.

So my background was made using masks and the Ebrush.  The trees are Sheena Douglas stamps, and the Santa and sleigh is from Cheery Lynn.  The mounts are just straight cut.  The sentiment is from Creative Expressions.

They are coloured using Promarkers, and Flexmarkers.  I used the lightest cool grey to try to give his coat some texture. I know it doesn't show well but I also added Glamour Dust to her fur, the hills and around the moon.

The inside has the addition of a Sheena Douglas Sentiment and a Memory Box deer.

We are very lucky this week to be sponsored by Marianne who are giving a special prize to the winner.

The other Snowflake girls have made some fabulous cards this week for your inspiration and can be found here.

Sarah - Wee Stamps - Sylvia Zet - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and our theme is ' Blooming Marvelous' chosen by the lovely Lisa. We want to see flowers on your card.  I have used one of Sylvia Zet's new images, 'Sarah' what a cutie she is.

For a change I made a criss cross card. She is cut using SB Grand opulent circles with a plain circle behind her. The 'lace' edging is a MS punch. I added holly spay from Sue Wilson and the poinsettia's are a mixture of Sue Wilson and Spellbinders. The resin flowers are from WOC.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Tria markers and Flexmarkers with some Prisma pencil added for depth.  I also added copious amounts of Glamour Dust to her fur trim and pompoms.  

The papers are all from LOTV and I added liquid pears to the ones inside the card and flat back pearls to the outside ones.

The inside of the card with a MB sentiment.

Let's Get Sentimental - Winter Wonderland Challenge.

Good morning. I hope everyone is well. Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where our theme is 'Let's Get Sentimental', really easy as there just has to be a sentiment somewhere on your project.

Something really different from me this week, a card without using Promarkers.  

I fell in love with the new Tonic dies and just had to order the full set. The sentiment is from an old Kanban set I had 'stored'. The poinsettia is a mixture of SB and Sue Wilson dies. Everything is mounted on a layer of gold and one of red mirror board.  The other side is cut with a SB grand square and I used Stormy Sky distress ink to create the background and give the trees some shading. The trees are a mixture of Marianne and Diesire dies. Santa should have another reindeer at the front but it wouldn't fit. It's cut with a Cheery Lynn die.  I then added copious amounts of Glamour Dust and Ice Crystals.

I created the inside with Nitwit papers and elements and the sentiment is computer generated using my favourite 'Tangerine' font.

So back to the challenge and this week we have 3 fabulous sponsors.

Delicious Doodles are offering 4 Digi's of your choice 

Digital Delights are giving a $5 voucher

and Clickit4Crafts are offering an amazing $35 worth of products of the winners choice

So lots of great prizes to be won.  Don't forget your project has to be Christmas themed and you can enter a maximum of 3 times.

To My Best Friend - Scrapberry's - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning everyone hope all is going well for you. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Julie has selected the theme 'Lace'.... we want to see it somewhere on your creation.  I finally got around to completing a card using a Scrapberry's image which is available from Funky Kits.

She is cut using a SB grand circle and mounted only a Marianne Circle die.  The butterfly is from MB and corners are Persian Accents,and sentiment mount is a lacy cirlcle, both age from SB.  The dp is from the Boufle pack. Lace from Live and love crafts and all pink is co-ordinations. 

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Triamarkers and Flexmarkers with a little Prisma pencil added. I also distressed around the edge with spun sugar.

I added diamond stickles to the sentiment and top layer of the butterfly. Sorry for the quality of the photos, there just wasn't any sun and had to take these using daylights.

I added more Persian accents to the inside.

We are being sponsored this week by Letraset who are offering the winner a set of 6 Flexmarkers
