Lu Lu Bee

   I coloured this image called Lu Lu Bee from Paper Nest Dolls using Promarkers and added loose glitter to the wings. I wrapped white and teal recycled ribbons around pale teal card and matted and layered this onto dark teal and white card adding bows, teal gems and a teal peel off sentiment to complete the card.

Looking out

    This is a multi layered card. I began by attaching paper printed using the My Craft Studio CD ROM volume 9 of the Papercraft library to cream card. The digi image coloured using Promarkers is from The Paper Nest Dolls and is called 'Ellie with kittens' was then attached to this using foam pads. Thicker foam pads were then used to attach the window which was cut using Tattered Lace's flectere window die. Using dark brown card I cut a shape to form a window box on which I stuck a die cut sentiment. Finally I added pieces of die cut holly.

Snowmen

   This month the Dragonfly Dreams challenge is being sponsored by

and has the theme of Christmas/winter.

    I placed a strip of Christmas washy tape towards the bottom edge of the card and then wrapped satin ribbon round the left hand side. The digi from Paper Nest Dolls is called caroling snowmen and I coloured it using Promarkers. Before removing it from the square die used to cut it out I lightly dusted three of the edges with Distress Ink. It was then matted onto blue card.

Avery with rose

   This month's Dragonfly Dreams challenge has the theme of make it feminine.

   I have used their digi called Avery with rose, coloured it using Promarkers and cut it out using Tattered Lace's arch card blank die. I then matted it onto red metallic card and edged it with flowers cut from a charisma download using a Tattered Lace flexi lily frame, decoupaging the lilies. I used Tattered Lace dies for the sentiment.

Rain

   This week's Crafting From The Heart challenge is being sponsored by

and as usual the theme is anything goes.

   This is for a special little lady who loves umbrellas.
   I began my card by matting and layering pale yellow card, magenta card and spotty mirri card onto white card. From two different sheets of spotty mirri I cut umbrellas using the Tattered Lace die 'always by your side' and used them as a border on the left hand side. The image called 'Avery in rain poncho' was coloured using Promarkers, fussy cut and attached to the card. The sentiment was a peel off.

Bright colours

   Time for a new challenge at Send A Smile 4 Kids. This time the theme is bright colours and it is being sponsored by:

Paper Nest Dolls who are offering three digis

and

Tonic Studios who are offering eight Drops.

   I have used the paper Nest Dolls digi called  Hippy Emma and coloured it using Promarkers  and Spectrum Noir pens. I cut it out using a Tattered Lace Charisma Frames 1 die and matted it onto bright pink card. I Also mattered the designer paper onto the same colour card before matting it onto white card. The  banner and sentiment were cut using dies from Tattered Lace's stage card die set. The green 'swirl' is a cut off from a Tattered Lace die cut and the butterflies were cut from a scrap of designer paper left over from making Christmas cards.

Little chef

   It’s Saturday and time for another fun challenge at Send a Smile 4 Kids.  This time  the theme is for the girls and the challenge is being sponsored by:

Paper Nest Dolls who are offering 3 digis to their winner

and 

Die-Versions who are offering a $15 gift certificate to their winner

   I have gone for a cookery theme on my card. I matted cupcake paper from my stash onto blue core'dinations cardstock and then white card. The image called Chef Angeline  from Paper Nest Dolls was coloured using Promarkers and Spectrum Noir pens and then cut out  using a Spellbinders floral oval die. I then used the same die to cut out blue mirri card. After cutting out the centre I stuck the border to the image to create a frame.
   I cut the sentiment from mirri card using Tattered Lace dies and the little cupcake topper was from an old card.
