Just us girlz....

Today is our new challenge at All Dressed Up in the Facebook Group.  This month our theme is GIRLS RULE.

I've made a summer scene up using two of Wendy's images.  Seashells and Sandy Beach.

I've coloured the images with Copics, fussy cutting the Seashells girl, she's got sticky pads behind her to make her stand out from the background, which gives her a little extra shadow.

No design paper from me today, makes a changes ;)

Don't forget we also have the challenge blog, you can find it here.

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

Summer's Here

I don't often make slimline cards, but I though this new release image from All Dressed Up called Summer was perfect for one.

You can find it here in Wendy's shop.

I've not done much with this one, because I wanted to showcase the image.  So I got my Copics to colour her and a scene.

 

Just a single layered card with no embellies, just some doodling for a border.

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

Thanks for popping by for a look

Summer Holi-yays!

I'm doing something a little fun for our latest Facebook Challenge at All Dressed Up.  Our theme is Holidays (Any Season).  I've done a summer card using Dogs In Shades, you can find it in Wendy's shop here.

The image had been coloured with Copics with bright colours for the dogs shades etc.

I've created a single layer card to keep to focus on the image.  The Summer Holi-yays! sentiment was created out of scraps of design paper cut with Sizzix letters.

Don't forget we also have a challenge blog, you can find that here.

Thanks for popping by for a look today

Two All Dressed Up Newbies

I'm showcasing a couple of new release images from All Dressed Up today

This one is called Pool Ready you can find her here

She's been coloured with Copics and I've kept the style simple.  The sentiment was printed at the same time as the image.

The design paper from Lemoncraft and black card to frame has been cut with a die.

********************************

The second image is called Key to the Door you can find this one here.

Also coloured with Copics, it and the back card behind have been cut with Spellbinders dies.  The image has been distressed with Black Soot ink from Tim Holtz.  I've then sprinkled some embossing enamel around it.

The design papers are from Lemoncraft.  I've cut a couple of banners out with a La La Land die.

Added embellishments are silver dragonfly beads, Wild Orchid craft paper flowers, same lace, a pearl string and some pearl gems.

You can find more inspiration from the Dressy Girls today on the challenge blog and in the Facebook Group.

Summer time

Our theme at Fussy & Fancy Fridays for the next two weeks is Summer Fling!  I wasn't sure what to create for this at first, so I had a dig around in my images to see what summer images I had.  This one if from All Dressed Up called Summer Time.

I've coloured the images with Copics.  Instead of cutting the image out, I've cut the centre of some black card out using a Spellbinders die then used it to frame the image.

My design papers are from Lemoncraft, First Edition and Maja Design.  I've used some off cuts to create the pink and yellow banner using a La La Land die.  There are plenty of pearl gems to add some texture and detail, 

 

The film strip is from Tim Holtz and my flowers from Wild Orchid Crafts.

If you look to the right of the image on the black you should just be able to spot a tiny camera sticker that I got in Paperchase.

Hope you like my inspiration for the challenge and we see you there,

Breezy Beach Walk

I've finally had time to get Breezy Beach Walk coloured up and a very simple card made.

You can find this colouring page in my Etsy shop where you can get 10% off my images by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout

To get this look I've used a combination of ProMarkers, Copics, polychromos pencils and a white gel pen.

I've just framed it with some back card and added a "Summer" sentiment.

Just plain and simple to show the image off

Splash

Honoured to be a Guest Designer at Do-Al(l) Kreatives today I'm also sponsoring their challenge for the month.  Their theme this time is Summerkids.  This fit in perfectly with one of my new images Jawz.  I've used the image without the bathtub for this one :D

The boys just looks like he's swimming in the sea with mini sharks, or dolphins ;)

The image has been coloured with ProMarkers, I've then cut it out with a Spellbinders die.  The circle frame was cut out of Maja Design paper with another Spellbinders die.

I've used more Maja Design papers for the rest of the card layering it up.  Added to this are some fish stockers from Little B (a find in Hobby Craft).  There's a sentiment from Scrapienic coloured with navy ProMarker and a whale in a bottle.

The only other ting I added were a few blue gems.

Happy crafting!

Wow where did July go?  It's the last inspiration from me this month at Outlawz Sketch with Drawn by Krista as our sponsor

I've used Summer Beach Items for this card.  The colouring was done with ProMarkers.

Here's our sketch for this week

Two of my images have doodled borders.  The sentiment was created at the time of printing.

Where the flowers are in the sketch I've used the beach ball and sandcastle by fussy cutting them

The design paper I've used gives a kinda sandy background and it's from Studio Light.  Behind this is a piece of black card to frame it.

Hope to see you at the challenge

Down at the beach

We're supposed to be having a bit of a hot spell in the UK over the next few days.  So I've coloured up Three Little Summer Girls from All Dressed Up to get you in the mood.  Hopefully we'll see some sun at the weekend and it won't just appear during the week!

There gorgeous little girls have been coloured using ProMarkers.  I've also created my own background using the ProMarkers and a little black polychromos pencil for extra shadow (sea, beach and clouds)

I've kept the card very simple to showcase the image just cutting the image short of the base card so the white behind frames it.

My only added touch was with a biro.  I added a few seagulls :D

I've finally had a little time to get this image coloured up and a CAS card made to show it off.  The image is called Kris and is available at SheepSki Designs - click here to check it out.

I've used ProMarkers and a little black polychromos pencil for a bit of added depth.

Plain and simple - this is a one layer card with a sentiment that was created at the time of printing.

A little added extra in the background are some seagulls with a biro.
