Sweet Wishes

I thought whilst I was coming up with a card idea for my boss's birthday I'd do a little entry into this weeks Passion for Promarkers Challenge which this week is Food & Drink. I was excited when I found this out as it gives me a chance to use one of the Cupcake Digi stamps from Pink Petticoat for the first time. Here is today's card....

 

I have colored the image in with promarkers of course (Antique pink, dusky rose, pale pink, lipstick red, pear green, grey green and tea green, blender) and cut out the image with my nesties ( second largest circle). The image is finished off with a little glitter and then mounted onto a lager circle cut from my new My Mind's Eye papers that arrived from the nice postman just this morning.  The collection is Tickled Pink 6 x 6. I've then used more of the same collection for the background paper (No pink petticoat papers today I'm afraid).  It's finished off with a little white organza ribbon and a couple of pearls ( No bow today which is very unlike me lol!!).

I hope you like it, this will be a birthday card for a colleague of mine so I hope she does too..

Get Well Soon Gorjuss

I'm not feeling particularly creative today, but I decided I needed to give it a go and I don't think it's all that bad :-)....  I've used this weeks Totally Gorjuss #70 - It's a Sketch and made a little Get Well Soon card using LOTV's "Little Nurse" stamp.  I'm also entering it into Stamp Something Challenge which is "Use Something Digi".  I am using digi papers and sentiment. Here is today's card...

I've coloured in the image with promarkers (Cinnamon, tan, cocoa, almond, sunkissed pink, cobalt, blue pearl, cool grey 2& 4, red, burgundy, buttercup and mustard and the blender).  I have mounted the image onto Navy blue card and used red card and Pink Petticoat spotty paper from Big Fella collection for the rest of the sketch's areas It's finished off with a bit of white ribbon and a sentiment printed from my PC ( font is "A Little Pot").

That's all from me today...

Cupcake Tree....

I've got a few orders for mothers day cards so I decided I should really get started and when I saw this Little Claire Image I knew it was perfect for my BF mum. So with this card I am entering Little Claire Challenge: "something with flowers" and Simon Says Stamp Challenge: "no cook recipe".  Here is the card...

The image is Little Claire's Cupcake tree and I have coloured it in with my promarkers (Blossom, Pink carnation, poppy, pear green, marsh green, sandstone, cocoa).  The papers are from Love Letters collection by First Edition and I have used Rose petal seam binding from The Ribbon Girl.  The pearls are from Hobby House ( Green to go) and the button is from the pastel bag also from Ribbon Girl.

I hope you like today's card...

Black, White and Red Ms Fastidious

Time for another challenge me thinks...   I've chosen a theme that fits in with this weeks One Stop Craft Challenge which is Black, White and another colour. I found this challenge by chance as I had a comment left on my blog by Sharon who was one of the DT.  I have chosen Red as my extra colour!! As I had decided to use a stamp I have also entered into this weeks Penny Blacks Saturday challenge, the theme is"more than one fold". I have quite a few Penny Black stamps as I love the Margaret Sherry collection and this week I have chosen to use Ms Fastidious.  Here is the card...

I have coloured in the image with my promarkers (berry red, poppy, red, shale, tulip yellow, pear green, ice grey 1, almond, sunkissed pink, tan, blender), and cut it out with my nesties.  I also used glossy accents on the Black markings to give it a little dimension.  On the back of the card I have used paper by Pink Petticoat (Big fella).  The red and black card is from my stash.  I have added a little ribbon and a small bow and finished off the front with a few black pearls and a single flower from my stash.

Hope you like the card... Thats all from me today promise.... I really should get on with my Papercraft Inspirations Task for this month....

P.s Sorry about the photo...

Flower Girl

I'm on a roll today, gone for something completely different. I was blog hopping before and stumbled upon the I Love Promarkers (well I do love my promarkers). The challenge is "Green & Purple" this week.  I thought I would really struggle with this but I think I kind of really like the colour combo.  I have also used Sketch #145 from Sketch Saturday.  Here is the card...

The image is from Pergamo's Flower Girl set. I really struggled with this stamp as they don't work well on my rock a blocks as they are not very "Sticky".  I honestly nearly sent them back, I was that disappointed.  I have used my promarkers (Lavender, warm grey 5, blender, cool aqua, mango, mustard, amethyst, warm grey 3, apricot, caramel, buttercup, putty, orchid, dusky pink, marsh green, khaki, tan, pear green, yellow, sunkissed pink), and mounted using Pink Petticoat papers (Pretty Doodles in Lavender and Plum and Leaf green solids). I have added a touch of clear glitter to the water (but thinking about it should have used glossy accents).  I've used some club green ribbon and the sentiment is from LOTV. Pearls are from The Hobby House.

Hope you like it.  I better tidy the craft room up a bit before I continue today.....

Simply Pastel Spots: Take 2

OK so yesterday I entered the Less is More challenge, but got a "telling off" for not have enough " white space", so since I love this challenge and want it to be a weekly thing I have another (replacement??) entry....... here is today Less Is More card....

The paper etc is the same as yesterday from Pink Petticoat (I'm being good and using up scraps rather than printing off more paper), I've cut out the circles with the 4 smallest round nesties I have and layered them on each other with a little big of the fab pink ribbon (might have to get another roll of this). The greeting is printed from PC.  I've tried to give it a little dimension using my pin flair

I think I prefer this one to yesterdays?!??!, hope you like it....

Simply Pastel Spots

One last card for today, this is my entry into the Less is More Challenge, which this week is "Pastels".  I've put together a simple birthday card for a colleague, and thought it fit in well with this week.  Here is the card.

I've used a slightly sparkly card blank from craft creations, The papers are Pink Petticoat (Are you getting bored of me saying this yet :-) ?), I actually purchased this one today out of the retiring section, the spots are from the "Sweet Sundaes Collection".  I used a simple printed sentiment and cut this out with nesties and added a pink pearl from Hobby House, and then used a slightly brighter pink ribbon ( Dovecraft) as an accent.

Hope you like it... that's definitely all from me today
