A Garden Party

Evening Peeps, hope you've all had a good day. At least we've broken the back of the week now and it'll soon be the weekend.

My card this evening is made using the current Designed2Delight image 'Garden Party'. If you're into digital images and like a challenge this is worth following. Its a progressive challenge which if you enter enables you to get a free digi image to play along again the following week. Check out the link below for more details.

I've used copics to colour:-
G03, 07, Y11, 13, 17, C3, R00, 20, 37, RV34, E11, 15, 18

The DP is from a large scrapbooking pack from Costco. The flower ribbon is from Meiflower and the brads etc are from my stash.

I hope you like it and I'm entering it into the following challenges:-

Going to the Chapel...

Evening Peeps. A friend text yesterday asking how quick could I make her a wedding card??? There was me thinking it must be a 'shot-gun' wedding, but no, she'd just thought it would be a nice idea to have a hand crafted card to go alongside her hand crafted ring cushion.

I've used a Digi Doodles image and coloured with copics:-
skin - E21, 93, promarker satin
her hair - E50, 51, 53, 31
his hair - E31, 33, 35
suit and shoes - C3, 5, 8
flowers and ribbon - G21, V01, 05, 12

All the CS is from my stash and I've embossed round the edges of the lilac card with a cuttlebug embossing folder.

The curly gardenia are from Crafty Emma's Store, the others are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

Anyhow, I've just seen that Digi Doodles next challenge is anything goes so I'm off to enter this there. Also Dream Valley challenge is 'new beginnings' so I'll enter it there too.

The links are below and I hope you like it, x

Cuddle Cloud Baby

Cuddle Cloud Baby is the name of this next image by Meljen Designs. Another one from the recent win I had. Isn't he adorable although he could as easily be a she. I've very subtly coloured him with copics E21, 93, B32 and promarker Satin.

The DP is by K & Co 'La Boutique'.

All the brads are from my stash and I'm sorry but I can't remember where the sentiment is from but just thought it fitted perfectly.

Hope you like it and I'm entering it into the following challenges:-

Another 50 Years...

 Okey Dokey! Here's the second post for the evening and then I'm off downstairs to the TV.

In case you hadn't worked it out this is for another golden wedding being celebrated in our street next week. I've followed the sketch in the Craft Your Days Away Challenge and inserted a tag behind the image which I will write our greetings on the reverse.

The image is a Hero Arts stamp 'watercolour dahlia' which I've masked, stamped in Adirondack mushroom  and then coloured with copics: Y11, 13, 37, G21.

The image to the bottom right is a fab border image (don't know who makes it) which I've paper pieced twice using the same DP as the rest of the card which is by Prima 'sweet fairy'. Both the DP and the curly gardenia 'stop' I got from Crafty Emma's Store.

I hope you like it and the links are below, x

Brrrr.....

Brrr...this little fella looks freezing but according to Meljen's Designs he's a 'Cosy Winter Owl'. Ah bless. Perhaps his hat and scarf are keeping him warm. I was so lucky to be able to choose 4 digi images from Meljen's Designs as a challenge prize for last week's ABC 'O' for Old-Fashioned. I'll try and showcase the other 3 images asap.

Anyhow, this is the first of 2 posts this evening which I'm getting in quick before the Ice Dancing starts. I hope you've all had a good weekend.

I've coloured the little fella with copics: E93, 50, 51, 53, 31, 15, 18, C3, R24, 27, YG03 and added some stickles to the snow and his pom pom to give him some bling, lol.

The DP are by Kars 'X-mas Collection'.
