Another Monday and another challenge for you from Cute Daisy May this week the challenge has been set by the talented Avril, which is a great one if your a bit fed up of winter, because she would like to see you use Bright and Cheerful colours.
This little cutie comes from Sheet 164, which you can purchase Here. If you havent used digis before and what to try one before you buy Linnie has a real cute freebie which will fit with this challenge perfectly.

For my card I chose my papers first which are from DCWV Sweet Stack I just loved those lollipops and put them with papers from the Bright Stack.
Daisy I coloured with Copics, flowers are a mixture of prima, petaloo, and Wild Orchid Butterfly charm I think is from BunnyZoes. I spritzed the flowers with Pearl Glimmer Mist (which can you believe I forgot I had!!!!!!!)

I followed the sketch from Truly Scrumtious and followed the colours from Stampin for the Weekend of Red Green and Gold this also fits with the Dare U 2 Digi Stamp colours of Red Green and a neutral colour of choice and the Creative Card Crew red and green Christmas.

Red Christmas DT for Cute Daisy May

Went to France on Saturday for a day trip with my work colleagues and had a four hour lunch - but I think all that food didnt agree with me and to serve me right I had the mother of all migraines yesterday so didnt get to make my DT card for
Cute Daisy May till this morning.

This week we want to encourage you to get well ahead of your christmas card list and make a card with the theme Red Christmas.

Couldnt quite finish it in time for the new challenge post but thought I would share it anyways.

This little poppet can be found on Sheet 115 Here.

I coloured her in Copics and Perga Liner water colour pencils. Added glitter for bling and snowflakes cut with a spellbinders die.

The DP is DCWV which I coloured with Distress Inks.

I am entering this into the Dare U 2 Digi Stamp Challenge which is Glitter.

Thanks for stopping by

Papers are from Hot Off The Press - not sure what pad though as have lost the front cover :-(

Well thats my lot for this weekend Im sure I will be back soon and hopefully with some really exciting news to share with you!!!!!!!!

Anything but a card

Over at DU2DS this week the challenge is to make anything but a card. I made a card a few weeks back using UTEE to make the wings which makes them a bit delicate so it needed something a bit more than a normal envelope to go in and had not got around to making anything for it yet. So I took this challenge as being the perfect opportunity qnd have made an envelobox for it. I used the original design for the card.

The fairy is a Cute Daisy May download, coloured with copics. I did use the same colours as on the original card but they look so much brighter because I used proper copic paper for the envelope. Dont know if anyone else has tried it but it is gorgeous to colour on but it is oh so thin. Have found though that you can use photoglue to stick the copic paper onto thicker paper once you have coloured your image (and if you have more sense than me (okay I know that its not hard to have more sense than me - I admit to being sadly lacking in that department) before you cut it) and it doesnt show at all.
This time I used fairy dust on the wings - and this shows I'm not always totally stupid - so that it wasnt so delicate - or I would be making boxes for ever!!!!!!!!

Kim's Sketch

Ok here he is, my favourite dragon that Alan drew, Gramps.

I just love his face and that cute goatee. I am entering him into this week DU2DS, which has a really nice sketch by Kim .
I coloured Gramps with my Copics. The papers are the Fathers Day collection downloaded from Summer Driggs.

This is such a lovely set of papers I added some extras on the inside. The Bottle top is also in the







collection and I added the text to it. I cut the digi paperclip off and added a real one, for a bit of extra dimension.

Create a scene

The challenge at dare you to digi stamp this week is to create a scene - have to say Mojo really was missing so not too happy with this offering but not sure if I will have time to do another one.

the pixie is a download from Charmed Delectable Stamps, which I coloured with Sakura glitter pens, bit hard to get a photo of as the glitter bounces back, but you kinda get the idea.

Papers are a mixture of Raspberry Road Fantasy paper and from stash.

One for the Boys

I got this image from Victoria Case Art Designs and couldnt wait to use it.

I coloured her with Copics and am really pleased with how she turned out.

The papers are from the Bearly Mine Designs cd Designer Extreme Vol 2.

The challenge on DU2DS is one for the boys - I guess this fits the bill.

I haven't added a sentiment as yet, cos feel it needs something quite witty - but cant think of anthing fitting - please feel free to add suggestions.

Challenge 7 Lilac and Lemon

This weeks challenge on DU2DS is Lilac and Lemon and a digi image. I have chosen a Cute Daisy May image which I have coloured in Pergo Liners

The lemon card I embossed in my cuttlebug using a flower embossing folder. I then glittered the flowers with Glamour Dust.

Anita's ribbon, gems and yep more flowers from Range.

Challenge 6 Post Pals - Gingham and Stitching

The Challenge on DU2DS is ultra special this week, the challenge is to make a card using gingham and stitching. But to make the card far more special is to make and send it to one of the incredibly brave kids that are featured on Post Pals.

I have made my card for a gorgeous young lady Alice P who is fighting Hodgkins Disease - Alice's favourite colour is Pink and she likes to make cards. So my card will be full of bits for her to use. Please take a look at the site and join in the challenge this week. http://www.postpals.co.uk/

I made my cards using a Cute Daisy May digi stamp coloured in Copics, Hugs sentiment Penny Black flowers papers and ribbons from stash.

I have continued the Daisy May theme inside. Although I havent put a greeting in yet.

Dare U 2 Digi Stamp Challenge 5

I really love this image from Spiral Whisper, she is part of the girl set and thought I would use her to enter the DU2DS Challenge this week.

The challenge is use to use any digital image and to follow a sketch.

I coloured her with copics and sakura pens on the wings for a bit of sparkle.

Papers are from Designer Extreme and ribbon and gems from stash.
