You are special!

Welcome!

I have made another card to enter in the Catch the Bug Colour Challenge:

I've used the very pretty Flower Pocket 7 that I received as a freebie and coloured it in shades of pink.
This I then matted on 2 pieces of textured cardstock that was coloured with soft pastels to fit into the colour scheme. With a fine liner I added the sentiment and the frame.

Now I have to hurry to get it linked up in time!

Just for You!

Welcome!

I decided to enter Bugaboo's Colour challenge using Stella Calendar Months February.
She was ready to be coloured because I printed some extra for the CBD Anything for Love challenge where Bugaboo Digi Stamps was the sponsor.

The colour challenge:

It really looks so yummy!

Well, here is my card using mainly these colours:

My colouring was done with pencils. The card was coloured with soft pastels that was smoothed. Using my Victorian Velvet and Hero Arts From the Heart Set, I added some hearts and 'just for you' to create a little random pattern. The coloured image was layered with pink paper and cream card from my stock.

Enjoy this last day of the month of Love!

Some more Male!

Welcome!

Our challenge at Crafting By Designs for this week has a male theme!

This is my second card using an image from Bugaboo Stamps.

 

The first time I saw this image and sentiment, I thought it was just so funny, actually punny. Gus is such a grumpy old character that can get way saying anything. Gus Tidbits - WTF is perfect for that character that needs a smile! The sentiment is so clever! Go and have a look around at all his other sayings!

I used parts of background images I found to create the workshop. The image was coloured with pencils.

Don't forget to join the challenge and do visit again!

Happy Father's Day!

Welcome!

Time for a new challenge at Crafting By Designs!

The theme: Anything Goes with a twist: Father's Day, Men, Male! Yes, anything with a male theme will be eligible!
Sponsor: Bugaboo Stamps.

I've made 2 cards for the post, but I'm posting them separately:

My first card using Guy BBQ:

 Braai (The South African word for BBQ) is one of the things that most men learn from an early age - almost a rite of passage...LOL. Each one has their own way of doing it, the fire, the wood or charcoal, the grid. So I see BBQ as one of the things you associate males with.

BUT: I can make a mean braai myself, but they don't have to know that! In fact I love doing it!

The Bugaboo image is just so perfect! I added some DP from TLC that just popped and helped create this fun card. Sentiment from Papercraft Inspirations.

I hope you will join the challenge!

I'm adding my card to the following challenges:

Digistamps4Joy - For the Men in our lives.

 

Princess

Welcome!

My second project for the Jackson's Digital Expressions Anything Goes and an Optional Sketch Challenge is a 3"x 3" Easel Card variation.

I used the super cute Bugaboo Lil Princess to create my little card! What a lovely size this is to work with! I coloured her in dress in pink, layered her on pink card, and added some silver board to follow the sketch. Pink ribbon and a Princess Crown charm finishes off the card part. Some pink & silver card was used to add a frame on the front part of the card. This can be used for a sentiment or as a name tag.

Hope you like her and that you will come and join the challenge!

Bugaboo is the sponsor this week and you will stand a chance to win 7 (yes seven) digital images. They also have weekly freebies and some fun images. Do visit them too!

Bright Paisley Sketch

Welcome!

My third project for the Jackson's Digital Expressions Challenge goes bright!

Bugaboo is our sponsor this week and I have used Penny Paisley 1 for my CAS card. I coloured her in bright colours and repeated them all in the other layers. A bright daisy with a rhinestone center complete my bright card. My sentiment is a firm favourite from PSX.

Hope you like her and will join the challenge!
