The Easter Bunny

I'm honoured to be a Guest Designer at Rabisco Challenge today :)

I'm using Winnie, Easter Bunny Ears for my inspiration.

The image has been coloured with Copics.  I've used a few sparkly gems for soe interest around the image.

My design paper is from Craft and You and I've also used some black card for this simple design.  No need for a sentiment, there's on on the image's basket label ;)

Thanks for popping by for a look today

Girly Unicorn Tag

I'm sharing my latest GDT inspiration for Colour Crazy Craft Challenge today.  We're sponsored by Polkadoodles this time :)

This image is called Special Time - Sparkle Unicorn.

I've coloured her with Copics in bright pink and green party colours.  The Happy Birthday sentiment was printed at the same time as the image.

The design paper is from Hobby craft and I've cut the tag out with a die.  The image was hand cut to fit with some black card to mat it on.  A couple of green enamel dots and a couple or pink gems to match and then a few pink ribbons from my stash to finish.

Thanks for popping by for a look today

This image has been coloured with ProMarkers, cut out and distressed with a tool and some Tim Hotlz antique linen ink.  I've also used some white embossing enamel on the background.  Papers used in this creation were from Joy Crafts and Lili of the Valley.  I've also used some white card stock.

The die cuts you can see are from La La Land and Little Darlings. As the theme is to add pearls I've used lots of them :D

The sentiment is a wooden chipboard one from Scrapienic

The sentiment was hand drawn onto the card and some icicles added.  I've used some sequins and gems and one silver snowflake bead.

Finally I'd better mention the design paper - it's from Maja Designs and is a Christmas one.

Have I finished making Christmas card now, hmmmm... not quite sure.  This was my last one before I put my stuff away but I've a few images still coloured up to make cards with so you never know ;)

This image is Bear Hugs Octavia from Polkadoodles.  I'd done it in purple before but decided I wanted to do her in red (my favourite Christmassy colour)

I've used ProMarkers to colour the image can decided o do a CAS style card.

There's no design paper just some red and black card stock to go with the colours in the image.

I've added my last few silver snowflake beads (found on Amazon) and a Warm Wishes sentient from Hobby Craft.

It's new challenge day at the ABC Challenge we're lucky to have the fabulous Polkadoodles sponsoring us :D

The theme for this challenge is W is for Wishes - so we'd like to see cards with sentiments for the next two weeks

I've chosen to use Bear Hugs from the Octavia Frosted Winter Collection.  I've coloured the image with ProMarkers in soft pastel shades.

The design papers (all distressed) are from Lili of the Valley and I've used one of their sentiments from Verses and Quotes Set 62.

My final touches are some silver snowflake charms which I got from Amazon about a year ago and some purple self adhesive gems.

Hope you can join us - I certainly need some sentiment card inspiration!

Come and Get It - Anything Goes with a Sentiment

You can never have too muck PINK

I have been neglecting my pink lately.  Its all the Halloween and autumn themes at the moment :D

So here I am with some PINK!

I've had this image for ages from Polkadoodles - Octavia Moonfly Wistful and I needed something girly so she's finally coloured - yay!

I've done this using ProMarkers and a little black polychromos pencil.  I've also added some glitter to her wings - coz all fairies should have glittery wings.

The design papers are from Lili of the Valley - the Roses and Romance pad and I've used three of them out of the set.  The sentiment coloured the ProMarker is from one of their art pads.

The cerise spotted ribbon with the hand tied bow and the two silver mushroom beads are from The Ribbon Girl.  The pink pearlised gems are the finishing touch.

Ahhhh.... I do feel much better now I've done something pink.

Q is for Queen of Hearts

We've a new challenge today at The ABC Challenge - Q is for Queen of Hearts - what could be easier  than adding hearts to your project :)

We've also a new sponsor this month - Polkadoodles!  The image I've chosen to do is Odella Heart.

I wanted the red heart to really stand out so I've done the image in monochromatic colours using Copics and ProMarkers.

She's then been cut out with a Spellbinders die and the die has been edges with grey Copic.

To keep the black, white and red theme I've used design paper from DoCrafts with some black and red card stock.

The red heart ribbon has been in my stash for ages but I think I got it from Hobbycraft.  The LOVE sentiment is also from them and is one of their Christmas embellishments.  I've made it a darker red by colouring it with burgundy ProMarker.

The checked hearts were punched out of a left over strip of the design paper and I've also used some self adhesive gems.

My final touch is a chipboard jar of hearts which I found at Scrap and Craft.

There's some lovely inspiration from the rest of the team - pop on over for a look

Sending Hugs & a disease I think!

I recently bought some Polkadoodles, I held out for ages but have just given in this week :)  The image I've used for this step card is Octavia Best Friends.

The image had been coloured with Copics then cut and mounted onto some black card stock to frame it.  The image you can see here "hugs" is a Oddball Art one.  I've cut it our with a Spellbinders die the added a bit of pink Copic and black biro to edge it.

As my final picture looks time my card has some strange disease (you'll see what I mean in a minute LOL!!)  I thought I'd take a close up of what I've done.

The pink flower paper is from Lili of the Valley.  I've backed it with some black card stock and then added pearl self adhesive gems for the flower centres.  Unfortunately the light was behind the image when I took the main photo and my card looks like it's got measles.

Anyway this is the card and it looks much better in the flesh :)
