Two More Easter Cards

Evening Peeps. Its been a long day today including a trip to the dentist, yuk! Fortunately nothing wrong so here's to the next 6 months, lol.

I've put together two more quickie Easter cards. The top one I inked and coloured this image last year and never got round to making a card with it. Sorry but I can't remember who makes the image and I didn't keep a note of the copics, duh! Anyhow, I love how the colours blend perfectly for this time of year. All I can tell you is that the DP is by K & Co, 'que sera sera'.

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

hair - E31, 33, 35
clothes - YR02, 04, 07
egg - Y21, 26, 23

Again the DP is by K & Co 'que sera sera'.

Bear with a sore head...

Evening Peeps. We're back from our weekend in the caravan. It was so totally relaxing and I got loads of images coloured with my old faithful copics. So I have loads of cards to upload over the course of the next couple of days.

This image is by Meljen Designs and could easily be my hubby after 24 hours with our Grand-daughter. Her and Daddy came and spent a night in the caravan, the first time for Casey, and she was unbelievably good. Even slept better than she does at home. However that could be something to do with running around in the fresh air with Grandad. Needless to say, Grandad is exhausted and needs a holiday, lol.

So back to the card. I was fortunate to win 4 images from Meljen Designs and chose this one, and isn't he just cute. I'm not sure if he's enjoying his bowl of tomato soup. I've coloured him with copics:-
fur - E31, 35, 51, 93
blanket - BG13, 15
hottie - YG91, 95
thermometer and tissues - C1, 3

The DP are MME - pretty please spring papers

I'm entering it into the following challenges and hope you like it, x

A Fairy Happy Weekend to You All

Good Morning Peeps. What a miserable day here in West Yorkshire. Its a right drizzly morning, you know, the sort of rain that gets you wet, lol. To top that, I'm off to IKEA in a minute to get DS his wardrobe:((( Not looking forward to the queues at the checkout. Fingers crossed everyone has stayed in bed when they saw the weather.

Anyhow, for this morning's card I have followed the Friday Sketchers sketch and some 'pink' challenges, just in case you hadn't worked that one out for yourselves, lol.

I've used a Lavinia fairy to incorporate the current Crafty Cardmakers challenge, which is also asking for punches. I stamped her in Adirondack slate to give her a softer outline and then used copics: E93, 21, Promaker Satin, C1, 3, 5, RV000, 02, 34, BG10.

The DP is Dovecraft 'Fantasy', perfect for those fairy and mythical cards. The circle DP was cut with a nestie and then edged with pearls and I put the pink vellum through my cuttlebug 'swiss dots' folder to take the blandness away. The sentiment is from a Papermania CS pack.

Now to the punches. I used a Woodware flower corner punch on my image. The butterflies are part of a small circle punch which I lined up to create a ribbon effect. The flower, right,  was created by punching lots of hearts in the vellum, DP and CS that I had used and overlayering them, finally finishing with a pearl brad.

Friendship

Morning Peeps. Sorry I didn't get to blog yesterday but it was a busy day...work, supermarket big shop:(((, then brill nite on tv. I don't watch much tv these days as I prefer to be crafting but there are a few things that have grabbed my interest lately, and last night was no exception. Anyone else been watching 'Marchlands'??? Edge of seat or what, lol.

Anyhow, onto today's card which I'm calling Friendship. I wanted to use the current The Corrosive Challenge  sketch but have also been wanting to enter into a Sentimental Sundays Challenge since I discovered it a few weeks ago. I felt the sketch lent itself well to both challenges. Fortunately I've also been able to combine it with the current Penny Black challenge which is 'Pretty in Pink', the Paper Sundaes challenge #56 which is use 2 of either flowers, lace, distressing or pink, and also the Ooh La La Challenge #73 'For Someone Special'.

The image is by Penny Black called 'Crossing Bridges' and I've coloured him with copics:
R20, Y21, E21, 31, 40, 51, 93, G21, and the blender. I can't remember where the trail of flowers image is from.

The sentiment is by Paper Inspirations and the DP is by Papermania 'Regency'.

The Button Tree

Just in case you're wondering I didn't get up early to make these cards, I did them yesterday evening.

This is another variation of the 'naked' tree stamp (Judith) that I showed you the other day, this time decorated with buttons. I've used 3 buttons in each of 3 colours - red, pink and orange and mounted it on DP from a 12 x 12 stack by K & Co called 'Que Sera Sera'. Its actually one sheet but using both sides. There are some fabulous colours in this stack, really yummy. Gems and bow from my stash.

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