Bubbles and Spot - Sheri Baldy - Fussy and Fancy DT

Good morning. I am back today with my first card for the Fussy and Fancy DT where the theme for the next 2 weeks is 'Beach Fun' and Gina is our host.  We are being sponsored this week by Sheri Baldy, and I have used the image 'Bubbles and Spot'.

I made a shaker card and cut her and the layers with a TL circles die to make it look as if you are looking through a porthole.  I used dew drops in the shaker to look like bubbles and added Pearls and shells from my stash. I also added a couple of charms for a little more bling.

I wish I had taken a photo of the image before making up the card to show the 3 different Nuvo Glitters I used on the image. She is coloured with Triamarkers, flexmarkers and promakers, and she really does sparkle in real life.

The sentiment is from a JS stamp set. My other 'teamies' have made some fabulous cards for you inspiration this week, and you can find them here.

Sheri is offering the lucky winner 3 of her fabulous images.

Marie Nyantoinette - Aurora Wings - Passion for Promarkers DT.

Good morning. I'm back today with another Aurora Wings image that I have had coloured up for a while. 'Marie Nyantoinette' a great image and of course the cat looks like mine.  It's the start of a new Challenge at Passion for Promarkers where this week I am the host, and I chose the theme 'Fancy That' (add ribbon, lace, sparkle etc).

She is fussy cut and mounted onto a SB decorative rectangle, everything else is just straight cut and then I rounded the corners.  The feathers are a MB die and the Fleur de lis is a really old punch.  The backing papers are from DCWV and ribbon, buckle and lace are from The Ribbon Girls.  

She is coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers and I added a little Prismacolour pencil.  I added lots of gems, a diamonte slider buckle and Nuvo glitter to the feathers for more bling.

This is the inside.

A side view to try to catch more of the sparkle.

  Morning everyone,  I have finally made this Aurora Wings Strawberry Sprite into a card.

I really had fun colouring this one up. She is cut using a Tattered Lace rectangle, and mounted onto a Tonic verso die. I made the flowers using a SB rose die, and the leaves are a MS punch. The ribbon, corners and dazzler are from my stash.

She is coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers.  I added glossy accents to the strawberry and flower, shoes, and spots on her wings.  I also added a Wink of Stella to her wings and the strawberry seeds on her hat

.

The inside does reflect the front, but has a layer of Nitwits paper included.

I wish glitter showed more in photo's :( . She is on a faux nestie with a SB Snowflake frame as her mount. I cut this in rainbow mirror card. The backing papers are from Nitwits. Poinsettias from SB and Marianne dies, ribbon, sparkler and gems from my stash.

She has Nuvo Glitter on her wings and on the parcels and I added different colour 'sparkles' to the baubles. She is coloured with Flexmarkers, Triamarkers and Promarkers.

I made an easel card, and cut the MB sentiment from the rainbow mirror card and filled in the top letters with glitter.

Birthday Fairy - Tiddlyinks - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning hope you are seeing the sun more than we are in the North East. Today is the start of a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Shelly has chosen the theme 'Rainbows'.  This can be an actual rainbow or using the colours of a rainbow.

I must admit that you will problably need sunglasses to look at my card this week as I have gone a little overboard with the theme.  I used an image from Tiddlyinks 'Birthday fairy' and added a sentiment from another of their digi's.

She is straight cut and mounted onto 8 layers of card.  The separate rainbow is a MB die which I coloured then covered in matt varnish.  The background is airbrushed with my Ebrush. The pearls are from my stash, I did have to change the colours on a couple of them to get all the rainbow colours.

I also added glamour dust to her wings.  She is of course coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers.

This is the inside which as usual reflects the front of the card.

Christmas Candles - Winter Wonderland DT - Just Right - Memory Box

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where lovely Lena is our host. Our theme this week is 'Anything but a card', so time to think a little out of the box.  I decided to decorate a couple of candles (still got another 6 to make).

I really love making these as they are so simple to do, but anyone who isn't a crafter thinks they are so special.  They are lovely scented candles from Asda.  

This one has a scan of a Memory Box candle on it. I cut it in white and then coloured and scanned it.  The sentiment is computer generated too.

I found stamping onto tissue paper and trying to colour wasn't very successful as there was too much detail on this large stamp from Just Right, so again I stamped and coloured it as normal and then printed to tissue paper.

We are being sponsored this week by one of my favourite shops Crafts U Love

Who are offering a £10 voucher to the lucky winner.

Today I have a card that was commissioned by a friend who recently had her pregnancy confirmed, and much wanted and waited for baby.  Her partner plays golf so that was the theme she chose.  I have used and image from LOTV and teamed it up with some Nitwits papers.

He is cut using SB squares and grand squares. The sentiment is mounted onto a Radiant rectangle. I airbrushed the sky using my Ebrush. pearls from my stash.

He is coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers and I added glossy accents to the golf clubs.

She sent me a beautiful verse to add to the inside and I added MB heart corners.

Birthday Surprise Boy - Mo's Digital Pencil - Passion for Promarkers DT

Good morning everyone, it's time for a new challenge at Passion for Promarkers where Nic has chosen the theme of 'masculine'. It was my great-great nephew's first birthday yesterday and here is one of the cards I made for him.  The image (Birthday Surprise Boy) is from 'Mo's Digital Pencil'. 

He is cut using Tattered Lace circles. The layers are co-ordinations and the paper and ribbon are from my stash.  The text is a mixture of T.lace and Desire.  The stars are from a MB star border.

I just love the expression on his face as he tries to burst that balloon. He is coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers.

This is a view of the inside where the sentiment is from  Crafts too and the train is a MB.

We are being sponsored this week by Sassy Studio designs who are offering 4 digi's to the lucky winner.

Christmas Star - LOTV - Winter Wonderland DT

Good morning everyone. Today is the start of a new challenge at Winter Wonderland where the lovely Carol is hosting the theme ' A touch of gold or silver' this can be your image or an embellishment.

I have used a LOTV stamp 'Christmas Star', one of my favourites.

I certainly used some silver mirror board on this one :). She is straight cut and mounted onto a WRS snowflake frame.  The poinsettia and holly branches are Sue Wilson dies. The sentiment is MB, ribbon from the Ribbon Girls and pearls from my stash.

She is coloured with Triamarkers, Flexmarkers and Promarkers. I added copious amounts of Glamour Dust to the stars, tree and ground, and added some flowersoft to it for the 'fur' on her coat.  The background was airbrushed with my EBrush.

Everything is mounted onto some navy shimmer card. IRL it really does look really sparkly.  I finally remembered to add some 'Stick it' (from Crafter's Companion) to the back of the card before cutting the dies. Really easy to use and no glue oozing out.

The inside does reflect the front .

We are being sponsored this week by the lovely Michele of MR Designs. She is offering the lucky winner a voucher for 20 euros to spend in store on her beautiful backing papers and embellishments

I hope you will take the time to visit the Winter Wonderland blog and also visit the other team snowflakes sites to see the fabulous cards they have made for your inspiration this week. Don't forget it has to be a Christmas project.
