WINTER WONDERLAND

A PINK/BLUE CARD
It is the turn of the ICICLES DT to post their creations
with the lovely PLONY playing host today.

Our lovely sponsor for this challenge is...
CRAFTS & ME



Many thanks for your sponsorship for this challenge!

Now for my DT inspiration project.
I used the image
WINTERGREEN WISHES
by Hannah Lynn at Crafts & Me

This is what I came up with....

I chose to make a blue card.
I started off with a white base card then covered the front with a blue stripey paper.
Next I layered that with another stripey paper this time in a grey/blue.
I layered the image onto a snowy background paper and placed it in the centre of the card.
I used a Nordic style strip across the top above the image and another strip just below it.
I used some other Nordic style decorations at either side of the image.
At the top left corner of the image I placed a greeting tag, again Nordic style.

I coloured the image using Copic markers and these are the colours I used.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.

Thank you for stopping by today and we look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES #17

Good morning, good morning!
The weather is not so good here today, looks like it will rain again.

We have a new challenge starting today over at
JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES

with the theme
BUTTONS & BOWS

And our lovely sponsor for this challenge is...
LACY SUNSHINE
Many thanks once again for sponsoring our challenge.

Here is my project for todays challenge.


 

I used the image

SLEEPY LAMB AGNES

I coloured the image using Copics
And these are the colours I used...

I started with a bright pink base card and layered it with a pale pink paper with white spots.
I matted the image on to a piece of dark blue card using foam pads to give it depth and dotted a few self adhesive gems here and there.
I wrapped a piece of bright pink ribbon around the pink spotted card, added a bow and a sparkly gem to the centre of the bow. Then I placed the matted image on to the pink spotted card and added a sentiment to the bottom left corner. I cut out some paper buttons in pink flowered paper and placed them above the image.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Hello again!

A new challenge starts today over at
OUR CRAFTY CORNER
with the theme
ANYTHING GOES 

And our lovely sponsor for this challenge is...

LACY SUNSHINE

For my inspirationproject for this challenge I used
RORY'S BIRTHDAY CELEBRATION

I used a 6x4 pink base card and layered it with a deeper pink card.
I die cut the coloured image using a rectangle with round corners.
I left it as is with a white background and placed some small flat backed pearls around it.
I used sticky foam pads to adhere the image to the card so the card didnt look 'flat'.
I placed a sentiment in the top left and bottom right corners.

These are the Copics I used to colour the image.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

WINTER WONDERLAND - EMBOSSING - WET OR DRY

Hello again!

I seem to be having a busy week blogging this week!

I was honoured a few weeks ago to be asked to join a lovely new DT.

WINTER WONDERLAND

For most of the year it is Christmas based and I just love Xmas!

So how could I refuse!

So today is my very first post for this DT and I hope I do it justice.

The theme is EMBOSSING - WET OR DRY

The sponsor for this challenge is KENNY K STAMPS so huge thank you to them.

I used image SNOWMAN

This is what I did with him....

And I used these Copics to colour him....

I started with a 6x4 red card base. I used a strip of holly paper about 2ins wide and adhered it to the left side. I placed a vintage style winter topper to top right and below that placed an EMBOSSED sentiment..(no pun intended on the sentiment). I placed a some handmade holly on the Snowmans hat band and another piece at the top left.

All in all a very cute card. I love Winter and Christmas!

Please do visit our other DT members blogs for more inspiration.

We look forward to seeing your entries!

Thank you for stopping by today
