Catch The Bug - Sketch/3's

Bearly Mine (69) - Anything Goes

I had great fun making this simple card.  The image is a delight to colour with promarkers.  I followed the great sketch and layered my base card with camouflage paper.  I then added a punched border that I topped with striped paper.  The image has been layered with cardstock and another paper.  Along with the sketch we had to add something in 3's.  I added 3 soldier type embellishments.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Here is a Tilda card I have made following the great sketch and layering my base card with these fabby papers.  I coloured the image with promarkers and distressed and inked the edges before layering and attaching to the card with foam pads.  The little tags are held together with a flower brad and I have added a few more to the lower panel.  I have die-cut the leaves from parchment paper and added some paper flowers.  A few pearls in the centre of the flowers finishes the card off.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

For today's card I have tried to create a scene and think out of the box a bit with the great sketch.  As you can see I have used my new Tilda stamp and lampost die that I won the other day.  The scene in the background is a stamp that I have had for a while but not used.  All the colouring is done with promarkers and I have paper pieced Tilda's dress.  I have added two strips of satin ribbon and some cream frilly lace.  The butterfly has been punched and I have added glitter glue on it's body.  I hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I have a new baby card to show you.  The image has been coloured with promarkers.  The border has been punched and layered with card and a gingham ribbon to match the background paper.  The stars are die-cut and I have added a little charm.  A stamped sentiment and a few card candi finishes it off.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Suprise Candy!!!

I was so suprised the other day to discover that I had won Mandy's Suprise Blog Candy, especially being number 1 on the link list.  Well, to say it made my day is an understatement to say the least.  I waited patiently for the postman each day and was so excited earlier today when the suprise arrived.  This is what he brought...



I must say I am absolutely over the moon as I didn't have either of these before and can't wait to have a play with them.  Thank you so much Mandy for your very kind generosity.  I will be back as soon as I have had a little play.

Time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week we want you to use your 'Die Cuts & Punches'.  Don't forget to pop on over and see the lovely creations that the rest of the DT made for your inspiration.

I have used one of the new coloured images that are so handy if you are in a hurry.  Isn't she gorgeous?  Following the great sketch I started by covering my base card with one of my favourite digi papers.  Next I added a punched border across the middle which I topped with satin ribbon.  Next I die-cut my favourite Marianne corners and placed these in the bottom corners.  I then die-cut a Spellbinders Fancy Tag and stamped a sentiment onto it before attaching with foam pads and adding a couple of pearls.  My image has been layered using Spellbinders Nesties and attached with foam pads.  To finish the card I added a few punched flowers and leaves with pearl centres.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I have had a little play with one of my new stamps and new digi papers.  Following the great sketch I layered my base card with paper covered panels adding punched photo corners.  I just love the sunshiny colours of these gorgeous papers.  I coloured my image with promarkers adding faux stitching around the edge.  I then added crystal glaze to the jar and bee's wings.  The sentiment has been stamped and more faux stitching added.  The leaves are die cut with a Marianne die and I have added paper flowers.  A few pearls here and there finishes the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Anybody would think it was me who had had too much tequila.  Why?  Because I have just realised that I had added this card to my favourite five post WITHOUT having posted it on my blog before.  There it was sitting in my 'spares' folder laughing at me so I think I had better show it to you properly, don't you?

I made this card a while ago using one of my favourite Bugaboo images.  The image has been coloured with promarkers and I have added faux stitching around the edge.  The word has been die cut and I finished the card with a few star gems.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.
