Warm in the Winter (2014) - The Paper Shelter - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning everyone hope you are enjoying the lovely weather. Just back from cruising the Med and thought it would be freezing when we got back.

Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where Lorraine has chosen the theme 'Blue Christmas', so lots of blue on your cards please.  I chose to use a TPS image 'Warm in the Winter' which I have coloured before in traditional colours.

She is cut using a SB labels 22, with a faux nestie behind her.  The poinsettia corner is a new one from Memory Box. and the gems are from my stash.

She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Tria Markers and I added copious amounts of Glamour Dust to the snow and as snowflakes.

The inside does reflect the front.

We are very lucky to have 2 sponsors this week.

La Mer - Aurora Wings - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning from a very wet and thundery North East England, so glad I am flying off this afternoon to the sunshine.  Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers, and although I chose the theme (before my holiday was booked) the lovely Lou is taking it over for me.  I chose 'I do like to be beside the seaside', so it's anything to do with the sea, in it, on it or beside it.

I have used this amazing image from Aurora Wings called 'La Mer'.  She is straight cut and all embellies are from my stash.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Tria Markers. I also added Sacura pen to her pearls and to the sea weed but unfortunately it doesn't show very well in the photos.

The inside does reflect the front.

We are very lucky this week to have two sponsors. Letraset are offering a set of 6 markers and Crafty Sentiments who are offering 3 digi's from their store

Ragged Angel - Mo's Digital Pencil - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning and hope it's a good one for you.  Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where the theme this week is 'Spots and Stripes'.  I have used a gorgeous Mo Manning image called Ragged Angel.  I cheated a little as the spots on my card are on her scarf rather than on the backing paper.

She is cut with SB Grand Ovals backed by a Grand scalloped oval. The corners and leaves are from MB. Flowers from LOTV. Backing papers, charms, rickrack ribbon and pearls are from my stash. It doesn't show very well in the picture but she is standing on Pinflair ice crystals and I also added glamour dust to her wings. The sentiment is a peal off.

She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkes and Triamarkers.

The inside does reflect the front.

On the inside I added a MB star border rather than the rickrack.

We have a wonderful sponsor this week

Mother's Day Flower - Sassy Cheryl - Passion for Promarkers DT.

Ooops I forgot to post this this morning.
Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where the lovely Shelley has chosen the theme 'Rags to Riches' in other words recycle something on your card.  I have chosen to use a Sassy Cheryl image 'Mother's Day Flower' which makes a great birthday card too.  My recycled things are the acetate front, which was from the packaging of a shower mat, and the ribbon which was from a chocolate box.

I love her expression. She is cut with a SB labels 4 with a faux nestie behind her. The flower swirls are peel offs and I added flower gems to the centre.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers.

The verse is from LOTV and the backing paper is Nitwits.

We are very lucky this week to be sponsored by Polka Doodles where the lucky winner will receive 2 images, Fredericka Chic and Fredericka Debutante

Christmas Carols - The Paper Shelter- Winter Wonderland DT.

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where our theme this week is 'A Christmas Choir', so we would love to see your images with singer/singers. I have used an image from The Paper Shelter 'Christmas Carols'.

I fussy cut them and added them to a Nitwits paper. I do love Nitwits as you can use plain papers and add your own embellishments before printing, as I did with the holly.  I can't remember where I got the song sheet from as I have had it for years. The ribbon, gems and charm are from my stash, and the sentiment was from the Hollypond Hill cd.

They are of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Triamarkers with a little Prisma pencil for extra depth. I also added some white flower soft and Glamour dust to her coat.

The inside does reflect the front.

Winter Friends - Wee Stamps - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning everyone  I'm back with a card for the Winter Wonderland DT where this week our challenge is 'I'm Dreaming of a White Christmas'. A white on white challenge where only your image can be coloured. I always find these so difficult to do and even worse to photograph.  I decided to use another of Sylvia Zet's wonderful images and used Winter Friends.

She is cut with a SB Grand labels 1. I added WOW white embossing powder around the edge before mounting her onto 2 layers of SB Grand Decorative labels 1.  I then added a SB poinsettia, Cheery Lynn Santa and sleigh, Memory box stag and 2 Marianne trees. The background is also embossed with a Darice snowflake folder.

She is coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Prisma Pencils and I added some Glossy accents to her headband and boots.

I hope you will take the time to enter the challenge this week where Marianne Designs are offering a surprise

 gift for the winner. 

 The other DT girls have made some fabulous cards for your inspiration this week.

Nana's Closet - A Day for Dasies - PFP DT

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion For Promarkers where our theme is Pearls and Pins chosen by the lovely Marie.

What a day I had yesterday :(  I had forgotten that Team 1 was switching weeks after last weeks 5th Anniversary celebration, so of course no card made.  But no problem I had nothing planned and got my card made and posted........... then realised I was supposed to be using our sponsors image !!!!!  So had to start all over again..... never mind it means I now have a spare card to post at a later date.

So onto today's card which uses the gorgeous 'Nana's Closet' image from A Day for Daisies.

She is cut using SB Magestic labels 25 and framed with the outer layer.  I used a Desire embossing folder for the background as I wanted to keep the muted colours. The ribbon, pearls, pin and butterflies are from my stash.

She is of course coloured with Promarkers, Flexmarkers and Tria Markers with some Prisma pencil for added depth.

The inside does reflect the front.
