Walk the Plank - LOTV - PFP DT

Good morning every one and welcome to my new follower Desire who I am sure is known to most of you.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where the theme chosen by Pinky this week is a nice easy one 'Birthday's'.  We are sponsored by Lily of the Valley.  I decided to use one of the older boy's images while I wait for my new ones to arrive, and that's Walk the Plank.

He is cut with SB grand squares and I kept it really simple. The backing paper is from Nitwits and I added the flag, compass and treasure chest before printing. The map I think was from Delicious Doodles, printed onto white card and coloured with distress markers.  I added bakers twine, and anchor charm and a LOTV mini sentiment. The final touch is card candy.

He is of course coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers and a little antique linen distress ink.

The inside does match the front.

I hope you will join us in the challenge where the prize this week is a £10 voucher from Lily of the Valley just in time to spend on their latest releases. 

Don't forget you have to use Letraset products, Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers, Aquamarkers or metalics for your entry. Do pop over and see the fabulous cards the other DT girls have made this week.

I am entering the following challenges :-

Cards for Men challenge #9 - Animals

Crafty Catz challenge # 181 - Inspired by a song (A pirates life for me)yo ho ho :)

Delicious Doodles challenge # 34 - Something for the boys

Moving alone with the times - One for the guy's

Flower Fairies 3 - Sylvia Zet - Wee Stamps

Good afternoon everyone from a sunny North East for a change. I've had fun today playing with one of the new Sylvia Zet images again, this time with 'Flower Fairies 3'. Such a cute image and I've really gone over the top with the embellies :)

She is cut using SB labels 28 and mounted on a Grand labels 1.  The sentiment is from LOTV, Flowers and flower ribbon from WOC. Charm, butterfly and purple spray flower from Live and Love Crafts. Doily from Cheery Lynn (centre of Dutch Deco Frame) Leaves are MB. Ribbon, lace, Button, pearls and gems from my stash. Papers from Nitwits and Cordination used for mounts.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and Prisma pencils. I also added distress ink to her background and liberal amounts of Frantage to flowers, butterfly, charm and sentiment.

Gypsy Dance - The Paper Shelter DT

Good morning everyone and welcome to my new follower Sarah who makes beautiful cards. I usually work a half day on Wednesday but today I have the full day off :), working Friday morning to make up for it, but a couple of days of chilling is just what I need.

Today sees the start of a new challenge at The Paper Shelter where our theme this week is 'Music Maestro!'.  I decided to use one of the older images 'Gypsy Dance' that I have wanted to colour up for a while.

She is cut with a Marianne die. I added a memory box musical notes and some wooden shapes I won a few weeks ago from Crafty Embellies which I have covered in Frantage. The flowers are all from WOC and the ribbon and DP are from my stash.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prisma pencils. I added distress ink to her background and around the edged of the DP.

The inside does reflect the front

As usual our generous prize from Veronica and Pedro is a Voucher for $30 of images if you use a Paper Shelter image or 3 Digi's of your choice if you use any other image.

I do hope you will join in this week and do pop over and see the wonderful creations from the other DT members.

Rosetta - Sylvia Zet - Wee Stamps

Good morning everyone I finally managed to get another card finished. This has been a drag of a week for me I changed my diabetic medication last week (next step the dreaded needle) and I'm really having lots of up's and down's. Sorry I haven't been round to visit, but will be catching up today.

When I saw the new releases from Sylvia Zet I had to have them and so enjoyed colouring this one up. She's 'Rosetta', another of Sylvia's gorgeous faries.

She is cut using SB Grand Decorative Circles one, layered onto a Grand Circle. The LOTV sentiment is mounted onto a Stately Circle and the large butterfly is also a SB. The small one is a Joy Crafts. Flowers, lace, ribbon and pearl string from WOC. Leaves are a MS punch and DP from Nitwits. Everything mounted onto Bazzill basics.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers, and I added some liquid pearls to the flower stamens. I also added stickles to her wings and distress ink to the edges.

My Frantage embossing powder finally arrived and I added it to the leaves, flowers and butterflies............ love it and can see it being used lots more. I also got to use my Letrajet air brush again as I didn't have the right colour blue rose so inked up  white ones.

The inside does reflect the front.

I am entering the following challenges :-

I love Promarkers challenge #165 - Square card with a circle feature

Totally Papercrafts challenge #164 - Flowers and Lace

Thick as Thieves - Sassy Cheryl - PFP DT

Good morning everyone. Hope you have had a good week. Mine was supposed to be a crafting one but ended up being spring cleaning.  I don't know about you but the thing I hate to do most in the world is ironing !!!!  I hate it so much that it gets to the stage where I only iron what I need, that means a lot of ironing builds up (4 sets of bedding for starters)... but I can now say that everything in my house has been washed IRONED and put away. I always feel quite chuffed when I clear it, don't know why I let it build up.  So that's part of why I have been MIA.

On to today's card which is totally different for me. My attempt at CAS. How I had to sit on my hands not to add corners, flowers and pearls to it. :) It's also a different shape, a change from a square, and I used my new toy for the background.  I have searched for months for a Promarker Airbrush and finally found one, so this is my first attempt at airbrushing too. This card is for PFP challenge for which the theme of Animals was chosen by Nat.

She is mounted onto a SB Timeless Rectangle, cut from Bazzil basics.  The dp is from Nitwits and ribbon from my stash

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prisma pencisl. I also added Glossy accents to the dogs nose, and for once it does show on the photo.

The inside does reflect the front.

Our sponsor this week is Bearly Mine Designs who are offering a £10 voucher for their amazing papers to the winner.  I hope you will pop over and see the fabulous cards the DT have made for your inspiration this week  Don't forget you have to use Letraset products to colour your images to be eligible to enter

She is cut with a SB square with a faux nestie behind her. The doily is a CL Sophia's Heart. Flowers from WOC. Pearls, corners, ribbon, butterfly and backing paper from my stash. The leaves are also from SB.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prisma pencils, with a little distress ink around the edges.

The inside reflects the front.

A different colour choice for me but I think she suits it.  She is cut using SB labels 23 with a faux nestie behind her. The DP is First Edition 'Summer Breeze' and I used Bazill basics for the layers. Flowers from WOC and lace pearls and ribbon from my stash. The leaves are my fav MS punch.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prisma Pencils. I added a little distress ink and some stickles to the butterflies and hairband.

Steampunk Owl - Pink Gem Designs

Good morning everyone, something completely different from me today, my attempt at Steampunk !!!!!

Not my style at all but when I saw this cute image from Pink Gem Designs I decided to have a try. This is for the latest challenge over at Passion for Promarkers where this weeks theme chosen by Jen is 'Cut it Out'.

As the challenge says I cut him out. I created my backing sheet using a cogs mask and blue mica powder spritzed onto black. I added various cogs from SB sprightly sprockets an added a couple of charms. I distressed the cogs a little and added more promarker to some of them. The sentiment is computer generated and I also added a few coloured card Kandy.

 He is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and a little Prisma Pencil. I also added glossy accents to his eyes.

The glossy accents and distressing show a little more on this one.

We are sponsored this week by 'Pink Gem Designs' who are offering 4 images of the winners choice from their shop

  Don’t forget you must use your Letrasetproducts (i.e. promarkers, flex markers, aqua markers, tria markers, metallic markers or neon markers) and of course follow the theme.  I hope you will pop over and see the fab cards the other DT members have made this week

Good afternoon everyone back with a card I did for fun. I was sorting out my stamps, they were all crowded into one box and I could never find what I wanted, and I came across a few that I have never used. I can't believe I didn't use this one as I must have had her for nearly a year. She is the gorgeously cute 'Picnic Time' from Sara Kay.

I have kept her fairly simple (well it is for me) Cut with SB grand oval and set onto an Opulent oval with a rickrack border behind her. I added 2 MB corners and cut the WRS sentiment with a scalloped circle. Pearls and charm from Mei Craft. Paper from Nitwits and ribbon and buttons from my stash. (The buttons were recycled from an old blouse).

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and a little Prisma Pencil.

I used the same paper on the inside and added another MB corner.
