Time for a new challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy and this week the theme is 'Fun In The Sun/Summer'.
When I thought about the theme I was reminded of the fun my sons and nephews had on their skateboards in the summer holidays.  With this in mind I have used these two gorgeous images and coloured them with promarkers.  Yes, the one at the top is supposed to be at that angle as I was imagining him going up and down on a ramp.  The other boy is having a bit of a rest.  A stamped sentiment and a few stars finishes the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

As you can see I have chosen wedding.  I started by layering my base card with cardstock and some old pretty paper.  I then punched a strip and added some more paper before attaching a rose bow.  I coloured the image with promarkers and added crystal glaze to the ribbons and glitter to her gloves and petticoat.  I then layered it with nesties.  I added some large pearls to the flowers and smaller ones to the top corner of the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

As you can see I chose to go with a general good luck card for a friend.  The image has been coloured with promarkers and layered using nesties and a couple of sentiment tags added with a brad.  The border strip has been punched with ribbon and little horseshoes added.  A few flowers with brads in the centres finishes the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week the theme is 'Vintage Or Shabby Chic'.  Don't forget to check out the DT's creation and why not join in the fun too.

As I'm not too keen on making vintage looking cards I have gone for shabby chic.  My gorgeous image has been coloured with promarkers and I have added some pearls to the corners.  It is layered onto a piece of card stock which I distressed and inked around the edge.  For the border I punched a piece of blue card stock and added another punched piece in white.  Once stuck together I added some gingham ribbon and some pearls.  The flowers/leaves have been punched before adding paper roses.  I added some pink stickles to the roses and the small white flowers.  A circular sentiment cut with a nestie finishes the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week we want to see your 'White On White' creations.

I have followed the interesting sketch but turned it first.  Having covered my base card with a plain panel of cardstock I then added an embossed layer followed by a die-cut panel which I added lace to.  The strip at the bottom has been punched and I added some sparkly organza and ric rac ribbon.  The image has been coloured with promarkers and I added star gems to the corners.  The scroll has been die-cut and I have added some satin daisies topped with gems.  Finally, a punched butterfly with pearls on the body.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I have made a one layer card by first stamping and heat embossing my image directly onto the base card.  I then coloured it using chalk, pencil and a touch of glitter glue.  I then added a sentiment and tied an organza ribbon along the fold.  Finally I added a butterfly charm that I made with friendly plastic.  Do you remember friendly plastic?  I don't think anyone uses it these days and not sure if you can still buy it.  I am pleased with how this one came out considering I was just playing around with a new stamp.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Apologies for the late posting of this card.  I was out all day yesterday and too tired to do anything when I got home.

Time for a new challenge at Lili's Little Fairies and it's a nice easy one.  This week we want to see you use 'Spots And Stripes'.

I have made a boy's card following the great sketch and layered it using two papers from my lovely Nitwit papers called 'Bees Knees'.  The image has been coloured with promarkers and I have added diamond glaze to the puddle.  I also doodled the word ooops! onto it.  A stamped sentiment and a few gold star brads finishes the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
