Sherbert Daydream

Only one more day of working until I get 7 days off!!! I have had 3 or 4 children full time for 5 weeks now and need a rest from screeching, squealing girls - it really does do your ears in after a while!!!
While my little gremlins were in the bath I coloured up this image for a few challenges and then quickly finished off before putting hubby's tea on. Just got the ironing to do later and then I can relax!!!!
I have used the sketch from Passion for Promarkers - rotated it though. and this week's A Spoonfull of Sugar is Floral Fantasy.
To be honest I haven't inked this little angel up for a while, and I don't know why as I love colouring her. I have used my older daughter's eclectic dress sense to colour her in using promarkers. I love these BG papers 9must get some more!) and completed it using layered prima flowers with button centres. I moved the sentiment as it didn't fit where it should do!!

Hoping to do a bit more crafting later ... may hide the ironing!!

DDCC challenge #52

This week's challenge is to make a card for a good cause. The Dutch Dare Card Challenge is also a year old this week!! So the Design team are celebrating by making a card for Post Pals and offering some candy for some lucky people.

As I am going to be sending this to a sick child I have chosen bright colours and kept the layout simple. I coloured Sherbert in using my promarkers and the cut it out using my nesties. I inked the edges of the white dp and the flowers and swirl. I added pastel green pearls to the flowers and swirls.

Do please have a go this week - these children love receiving cards and I would love to see what you come up with.

Daydreaming

This week's Colour Create is a Rainbow of Colour, and the Creative Card Crew challenge is to make a card for a child. I like to ake a few cards each month for Post Pals so I have combined the challegne to make this card to send.

I colured Sherbert in using my promarkers and cut her and the matt out using my nesties.I have kept the layout simple, just matting the dp and only adding a bit of ribbon, as it looked too fussy with flowers.

Stamp(s): Polly Craft Daydreamer Sherbert ; Daydreamer sentiments

Papers: My Minds Eye Magnolia
Embellishments: ribbon from stash

Sketch and Stash #9

Becky has done another fabulous sketch this week, and you can put your embellishments and sentiment wherever you want.

I have to confess having had 2 goes at this., as I did the first and was a little unsure about it...but hubby loves it.

I used this Pollycraft image Daydreamer and the sentiment from the same range, which are new to my collection. I coloured her in promarkers and matted her onto green cardstock, using my nestie labels to cut her and the matt out. The papers are from my very neglected DCWV adhesive stack. I punched the flowers using another neglected punch, added gems and some wire (again very neglected!!). I am not sure what I am not keen on ... it could be the dp.

So I had another on Friday night when my Gorguss girls arrived ...

I am much happier with this. I have skewed the elements in the sketch for this one. I watercoloured the image and cut her out using my nesties. The matt is the same size and placed at an angle. The dp is MME Laundry line and is all shiny new and so strokable ... I am amazed I actually cut into it!! The sentiment is from my Swirls plate and saw its 1st inking. I added flowers, and the ickle charm which I won as part of Camilla's blog candy.

I am much much happier with this ... hubby still prefers the first one!!!

Do check out the other DT members creations and our Guest DT Lena, and have a go yourselves.
