Mermaid Gang

We have our second lot of inspiration for Wendy's new release images today.  I'm using The Mermaid Gang, you can find them here.

The image had been coloured with Copics and a white paint pen.


I've distressed the edges with a Tonic Solutions tool.

The sentiment was added at the time of printing.


Added to the single layer card are some aqua pearls and a silver fish charm.

You can find more inspiration in the Facebook Group today and on the blog.

Turtles! :)

So we have our new challenge starting today at Outlawz Sketch, with our wonderful sponsor Di's Digi Stamps!

I'm using Turtle Parade for my inspiration today.  The image has been coloured with Copics to create a single layer card!  When I printed the image I added a few more turtles to fit in with the sketch :)


Here's our sketch for the next two weeks.


I've done something really different with my card this time.  I usually add lots of layers and design papers. But when I saw the image and sketch it inspired my to make a single layered card!



So the moon is the circle and the extra turtles make up the flower border int he sketch.  There's also a tiny silver star charm instead of the ribbon.

Of course I've messed with it and added some embossing enamel, my favourite for starry night scenes.  Then there's the sentiment made up from Tim Hotlz Stickers.

Thanks for popping by today.  We hope to see you at the challenge

Romeo

We've a new challenge just started in the Facebook Group.  We alway have anything goes in the group with optional twists, this month it's HOT OR COLD.



I've coloured Romeo with Copics in a monochrome pallet, to create a non-traditional coloured Christmas card.


Scattered around the image is some white embossing enamel for snow.  The design paper is from Lili of the Valley, been in my stash for ages.  The sentiment is a wood chip on coloured with Copics.

Before I go I'll also remind you we have a blog challenge at SheepSki Designs.  The current theme is Christmas in July.

Thanks for popping by for a look today.

Had to be pink......

It's new release day at All Dressed Up.



I wasn't sure how I was going to colour this image and milled it over for a while.  For some reason they ended up pink, not that it's my favourite colour you understand ;)

The flowers Wendy had drawn with them reminded me up buttercups so I've done them a lovely rich yellow.  I coloured the image using Copics.


Creating a single layer card to showcase the image I've just added a sentiment with stickers from Tim Holtz.

You'll find more inspiration with the new releases for July on the blog and in the Facebook Group.

Pastel Angel Tag


I've decided to join my ladies for the SheepSki challenge blog inspiration.  I usually make a few Christmas tags for my presents so I though this was the perfect opportunity :)



I was in a bit of a rush, my day just is just eating all my time up, so I chose to do very subtle neutral pastel colours.  the image was coloured with Copic and then fussy cut.

I found some glitter paper pad in Hobby Craft before lockdown and I had a lovely chocolate coloured one.

My design paper is an off cut scrap left from some scrapbook papers.


The tag was cut with a die and the design paper trimmed to fit just inside.  There's a winter themed wood chip circle, i think it may be Scrapiniec, I found it in my stash with the labels cut off.  Probably from another project I started and changed my mind :)

Finally after adding the fussy cut angel and dove I added a glittery wooden Happy Christmas sentiment.  Oh and a bit of left over ribbon from when I was on the Ribbon Girl DT.

Little pink smoochy bear

Our theme for July at All Dressed Up in the Facebook Group is FOR THE KIDZ.

I've never made a baby tag before and I had some card to recycle, so here it is :)



The images was coloured with Copics.  Once I'd coloured it I then scattered some embossing enamel for a bit of interest.


Cut out with a die the images is frames with appropriately pink glitter paper.  My finishing touches are a few different pink and cream ribbons and a tiny silver star charm.

Thanks for popping by today.
