In the world of my imagination

There was a little Morphling Baby Boy.....  This is the image I've used for my Guest Designer inspiration with Scrapping4Fun today.

Their theme over there is BRIGHT HAPPY COLOURS!  Check them out here.

There are actually two versions of this image, one without all the punk hair, elf ears and steam punk theme as well as this one.  I figured not everyone loves steam punk as much as me ;)

The image is actually called Morphling, you can find him here in my Etsy shop.  Where you can get 10% off this and all my images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout.

I've coloured the image with Copics and added some red glitter to his punk hair with a red gel pen.

Here's where the pops of colour come in!

My design papers are from Hobby Craft, a section of the papers has been cut using a die which I got from Dies to Die for.  I've doddles the line around the edge of the image, added a sentiment from Make It Crafty and finished off with three bright yellow enamel dots.

Thanks for popping by today, hope you like my inspiration

Pretty in pink

I've a few commissions on at the moment.  This one has been created for a friend for her nephew.  They're expecting their first baby soon and its going to be a girl :)

AND this is the perfect for our new challenge at Fussy and Fancy Fridays which is my favourite PINK!!

Now it's been a while since I've used a Lili of the Valley Stamp.  I pretty much haven't a lot of room so I was delighted to find they've started to do digi images!

This one is Cosy Pram.

The image was coloured with Copics.  I've cut it out in a circle and used some Tim Holtz vintage photo ink on the edges.  On top of this I've scattered some embossing enamel.  Behind it is a die cut scalloped circle from Spellbinders.  I've used some pink stripy paper from Maja Design.

The other layers of paper behind are also from Maja Design and all have been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

Between the layers of paper are two different lace pieces.  The flowers and lace were both bought from Noor Design.

The sentiment coloured with Copics is a Lili of the Valley one.  I've added a few pearls, a wooden heart shape and a banner cut with a Fantasy die (also from Noor Design)

Hope you love my inspiration and we see you at the challenge

New Baby Card

Been sooooo busy trying to get the challenge blog up and running that I'm a bit late blogging my card and I've still loads to do on the new blog - LOL!

I hate blogger - it always flummoxes me, why gadgets don't seem to co-operate.  Anyway the link is here and I'll be posting a welcome and then setting up a DT call soon https://sheepski-designs-challenges.blogspot.co.uk/ feel free to join the blog and let me know if anything is wrong with it :D

The new Facebook challenge has started today in my group - click here to join.  There are freebies in my group and you can use discount code to get 10% off my images on Etsy by quoting SKIANDREA10

Today for my inspiration I've used Baby Feet.  They've been coloured with ProMarkers and polychromos pencils and cut out with a Spellbinders die.

The design paper is from Maya Design, the piece I cut out with a Spellbinders die behind the image was distressed with a nail file (fine sand paper would work just as well).

I've doodled some borders with a biro around the image and the while card it's mounted onto.  I actually cheated a bit here.  I coloured the image, cut it out and then mounted in back onto the original coloured card, that's why you can see some coloured sections underneath the image :D

The sentiment was printed at the same time as the image and my finishing touches are two silver dragonfly charms, a couple of sequins and a few rhine stones to add a bit of bling.

Hope you like my new baby card

When we make baby cards it's usually for the girls.  But this beautiful image is from Sami Stamps our sponsor at Outlawz Sketch challenge this month.  It's called New Daddy and is perfect for the guys!

This image was coloured with ProMarkers and I've also coloured the new baby sentiment from Lili of the Valley with ProMarkers.

Here's our sketch for today

For my inspiration card I've framed the image with cream lace and used distressed design papers from Lili of the Valley and First Edition for my background.

The only embellishment I've used are some tiny brass baby shoe charms :D

Zzzzzz....Zebra

This is one of Wendy's adorable new images.  You can find him/her on the All Dressed Up Etsy store and he's called Z if for Zebra :D

I've chosen to do mine as a baby girl card, so I've dug out my old favourite ProMarkers and made Zebra a pastel pink.

I've distressed the edges of the image with Tim Holtz Milled Lavender and doodled a border to look like stitching around the edge.

Making a shaped card, so all the design papers had to be hand cut, I've layered papers from Joy Crafts and Studio Light.

Onto the embellies - a resin corner bought from Live & Love Crafts, some grunge board hearts from Tim Holtz (coloured with ProMarker), some grey heart ribbon from my stash, some pink gems, a heart die cut banner using a La La Land die and the it's a girl sentiment (bought from Scrap & Craft)

So that's it for my inspiration for this new release image.

All I've got left to tell you is don't forget about the new anything goes with an All Dressed Up image on the blog challenge and the current Facebook challenge is Things with Wings

Happy Crafting :D

I've coloured this new image Baby Feet available from SheepSki Designs with ProMarkers.  I wanted a very simple layout so the image remained the focus so I went with a CAS card. 

The image was printed in the bottom corner of my card stock with the sentiment being produced on my lap top at the same time.

There's also a little pink ProMarker around the sentiment.

The design paper is from Lili of the Valley and all I've used are some silver and fuchsia sequins and some rhine stones.

Sleeping under the stars

I'm really short of baby cards again - so when I saw this little image while I was browsing Christmas images the other day I thought it was just perfect.

The image is Sleep Tight from Tiddly Inks which I've coloured with ProMarkers.  It's been cut out with a Spellbinders die the edges with vintage photo distress ink from Tim Holtz.

I've also added some DecoArt glamour dust sprinkled onto the moon and stars.

The papers are from Maja Designs and First Edition.  All have been edged with vintage photo distress inks.

I've added a few stars and gems scattered across the card.  The wooden letters to make BABY were from a shop local to me called SprinkLynn Gems which I bought a while ago.

Right I'm prepared for someone else having a buy now :D

B is for BEAR!

B is for Bear is a beautiful image from All Dressed Up available from Etsy which I've used as my inspiration for you today for the new Challenge No 45.

I've coloured it with ProMarkers and added some black polychromos pencil for extra shading.

I've also added some tiny baby feet to the card which are Dress It Up Buttons and some blue pearlised gems to stick with the boy theme.

All the design papers have been distressed and are from Maja Design.  There's also a bit of left over scrap paper (not sure where this bits from).

The sentiment is from a Lili of the Valley Art pad which I've coloured wit ProMarker and to compliment the colours in the card I've also added some light brown pearlised gems.

There's lot more inspiration to be seen on the All Dressed Facebook page where we also have themed challenges (Spots and / or Stripes is the current one) - shhh.... not many people are enter these at the moment so you'll have a good chance on winning.

I'm not sure you can use it for the current blog challenge which is Halloween but you could use him/her for the Facebook challenge which is anything goes.

The image number is 260 and you can get 10% off at check out on Etsy by using my code DTANDREA10

The image and sentiment have been coloured with ProMarkers.  I've cut the image and sentiments out and distressed the edges using Tim Holtz Antique Linen.

The papers used are form Lili of the Valley and I've also used some plain black card stock.

Added extra are some green self adhesive gems and a red wooden heart which I've had since last Christmas - LOL!

I decided seen as he was so cute I'd make him into a baby's first Christmas card.  So I produced that sentiment on my computer and cut it out with a Spellbinders die before edging it with black biro.

Now you have to go seen my other card using the same image :D
