Sugar Bowl (106) - Anything Goes

Here is a simple set of Christmas cards I have made in my favourite pastel colours.  I simply covered my base card with an embossed panel before attaching the image with foam pads.  The images have been coloured with promarkers and either flock or glitter.  With hindsight, I think maybe I should have added a bit of faux stitching around the images, what do you think?  Hope you like them, thanks for looking.

This is a card I made for a friend's birthday recently using a topper and paper from a CD (see below).  I forgot to photograph the insert which shows the female fully dressed whilst the men were fairly stripped off.  Anyway, after layering my base card with gold mirri and the paper, I attached an embossed and inked panel attaching my image and die-cut sentiment.  I then added some mini playing cards to the corner with foam pads (if you count them you will see how old he was ha! ha!).  Finally a few buttons finishes the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I have made a very simple card as I didn't want to hide the gorgeous summery paper.  I have added glitter to the paper and also a glittery stamped sentiment which I heat embossed.  The sweet fairy image has been coloured with promarkers and glitter and layered with a butterfly nestie.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week we would like you to 'Use At Least Two Die-Cuts' on your creations.  Nice and easy!  Don't forget, if you use a Whoopsi Daisy image you can win more.

I have made a simple gift box this week using one of the topper sheets from Linnie's New CD.  I just adore this cute little image and had used the larger topper on a card previously.  As this was going to the same person as the card I have made the box to match using the same colours and paper.  I have die-cut all the layers and corners using Marianne dies.  Once the topper was attached I just added a pearl to the flower.  Very quick and easy to make.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week we want you to 'Use Markers' on your creations.  So get out all your promarkers, copics and distress pens and join in the fun.

For this week's card I have followed the great sketch after turning it first.  Once I had layered my base card I coloured my image with promarkers.  I love her outfit and tried to use 'funky' colours from the photo inspiration picture.  I die-cut a Marianne swirl and used promarkers to colour it before attaching to the card.  I then used my promarkers to colour a piece of parchment paper before punching flowers from it.  These were then embossed on the back so the colour still showed.  I then added small punched flowers and gems.  Finally, I coloured a 'diva' charm with a 'hot pink' promarker and attached it to a neon plastic paperclip which I slipped onto the square panel.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

OMG!!!  I can't believe it!!!  I forgot to post my DT card again.  So sorry folks I'm giving myself a slapped wrist (ouch!!!).

It's time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week the theme is 'Christmas In July'.  If you haven't already started on your Christmas cards then this should help you get ahead.

This week I have made a rocker card with one of my all time favourite images.  I have coloured the image with promarkers, flock and glitter.  I have also added snow with Liquid Pearls.  The trees have been die-cut and I have added Stardust Stickles to the branches.  The greeting is a sticker, cut and layered using nesties.  A few snowflakes stickers finishes the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week we want you to make it 'Girly'.  Nice and easy so why not pop on over and join in the fun.  While you are there see what great creations the rest of the DT have made for your inspiration.

Today I have used one of the precoloured images.  I just love this one, and it can be used for many occassions so is very versatile.  Once I cut her out with a nestie I added glitter around the edge and to her dress.  I also added a tiny star gem to her dress.  All the mats have either been punched or die-cut and I have added gems to the corners of the large gold mat.  I finished it off with some die-cut leaves, flowers and pearls.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
