Its the lovely Anne's turn to pick this week's Totally Papercraft challenge, and its another colour challenge - monochrome.

I used this gorgeous Mer-Mae from the Odd Girl, and coloured her using my promarkers.  I added some flat backed pearls and stickles to the image.  The dp is MME Lime Twist, and I did some stiching down either side rather than add ribbon.  I added some flowers from my stash with pearl brads in their centres, and a Craftwork Cards sentiment.

I chose to use this cute mouse from The Crafty Pad Designs, and coloured it using my promarkers.  I used glossy accents to glaze the bauble and coloured the lettering in using a gold metallic promarker.  The dp is Nit Wits (I think!) and I added some gingham ribbon and flat pearls.

Birthdays and packing ...

Two weeks today and we will be on holiday and I cannot wait!!  Already packing in my head LOL!!

 I love this image by Saturated Canary, Pack light, and this is going to be me!!!  Icoloured the image using my copics, and added some viva pen pearls and a bit of stardust stickles under the suitcase.  The dp is Basic Grey What's up, and I just added some ribbon, a bow and a Whimsy corner.

The girls are very excited about going on holiday, abut both are concerned whether the tooth fairy will find them as they both have wobbly teeth - apparently there is a tooth fairy that covers Scotland so we have 2 relieved little girls!!!

But I need to get a couple of birthdays out of the way before the holiday ...

So here is another of Krista's digis, Ellie's Birthday.  Again she is coloured using my copics and I added some pearl dots, stickles to the ground and the balloons, a double bow, ribbon and a charm.  The flowers are Spellbinder's Bitty Blossoms and I added a Craftwork Card sentiment to finish it.  The dp is more of that scrummy Basic Grey What's Up.

Creative Inspirations - colour scheme
Divas by Design - happy Birthday
My mum's Craft Shop - Birthday girls

Sweet n Sassy Digi Challenge

 This week's theme over at the  Sweet n Sassy Digi Challenge  is Flag, you're it - so we want to see flags or pennants.

 I used Cocoa's Baby Block, and coloured it using my promarkers.  I have used a new paper for colouring my digis, and am not very happy with its blending ability, so am going baack to Rymans. The dp is DCWV Nana's Nursery and I used a Whimsy die to create the pennant, before adding alphabet stickers.  Some layered ribbon completes it.

Stamps and Creativity=fun - pennant

Totally Papercrafts Challenge

This week's Totally Papercraft's theme has been picked by Wendy, and she has chosen a colour theme 

orange and yellow

Our fabulous sponsor this week is...

I went for something a bit different as I am not a big fan of yellow and orange ...

I used my distress ink pads, spiced marmalade, dried marigold and squeezed lemonade, and stamped them directly onto the card blank.  I stamped the outer 2 first, lining the edge of the pad up with the corner of the card blank so it matched on the corners.  Having stamped the dried marigold I then stamped over using sepia and a text stamp  - simples!!

 Exactly the same technique for this one, except I stamped an SU flower stamp in the centre of each ink block, added some buttons and a sentiment.

Challenges:
Crafty Creations - buttons
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
DutchDare - colour challenge (orange, yellow and white)
Do you stack up - for a friend

Strawberries anyone??

 I used this cutie, Strawberry patch,  from Sugar Nellie's Manga range, and coloured her with my promarkers.  I used my Go Kreate dies to make the shaped card blank and mats.  The dp is from DCWV Nana's Nursery.  I added some spotted ribbon and tired a simple knot bow.  No other embellishments for a change - I feel i have been flowered out recently LOL!!!

Challenges:
Anything Goes - anything but square
Bearly Mine - shaped card
Creative Craft - summertime
Everybody Art - summer
Oldie but a goodie - summer photo inspiration
Passion for Promarkers - feeling fruity
Crafts and Me anything Goes
Simon Says Stamp - anything goes
I love Promarkers - gold, silver, bronze (tools coloured using a silver promarker)

Fairy birthday

Just a quick post before we go out for the day as the sun is shining.  I made this girly birthday card with my little raptor, Beth in mind.  For such a little tomboy she does love her pink and fairies!!Tilda is coloured using my copics and she has been glamour dusted and stickled within an inch of her life!!  The dp is DCWV Nana's Nursery and i added some ribbon, plenty of WOC flowers, a bow and a sentiment.

Challenges:
Just Magnolia - Lets make a birthday card
Wild Orchid - circles
Stampin for the weekend - photo inspiration

 

50 shades and a splash of red!!

 I used this gorgeous image, Jules, from Krista's Saturated Canary range, and coloured her using my promarkers.  The dp is Bo Bunny, and I coloured the doilly with my red promarker. The edges of the cardstock and dp have been distressed aunig my TH distressing tool. The flowers are made using a Memory box die.  Finally I added some satin ribbon and black lace.
