SCS Challenge - Create a Scene - DT Card

This weeks challenge has been set by Wendy (da Boss) and is Set a Scene

I used some of my Magnolia stamps and used the masking technique to create a scene.  I used a Mojo Monday sketch from 2010 and Pink Petticoat papers.  I coloured using my Copics n Promarkers.  This card has been made to order and at the time of posting I was still awaiting the wording for the sentiment so have had to post it without.  I may also add some flowers or swirls around the sentiment too.

Hope you are all having a good weekend, me i'm off to work again tonite hahaha.

SCS Challenge - Photo Inspiration- DT Card

Todays challenge has been set by me and  would like you to use this photo as your inspiration..

You may use any elements from it, for example a certain colour or colours.

One of my colleagues is leaving work for her retirement so I agreed to do the card. It is the biggest card I have ever made lol (have to try and make the envelope now Ooooo). I used the Centura Pearl Card available in packs from Secret Crafter (give Wendy a call to find out more) and then my Copics to colour my little sad Tilda.

I also used some ribbon from my stash and some Raspberry Lime ribbon also from Secret Crafter (the ribbon actually matched the plummy colour but it has not come out well in the photo grrrr).

I can't wait to see your creations and which elements you pick from the photo.

Don't forget to pop on over to my DT pals and have a look at their cards this week

SCS Challenge - With Love - DT Card

This weeks challenge has been set by Jane and is....

With Love

So we would like to send us some luuuurve.  With Valentines just around the corner here's a chance to get a head start on all those cards you will be sending (and hopefully receiving lol).

I saw this sketch over at Sketch Saturday last week and followed it for the base of my card.  As I have said in previous posts i've been perusing the digi paper sales and found Sunday Gardens by Correen Silke over at Scrapbook.com.  With all the miserable weather we are having they reminded me of a lovely hot summers day.

It's a fairly simple card with the sentiment being printed out and all papers distressed with chalk inks.  Pale green card backed all the elements and lil ol Tilda graces the image panel.  Coloured her in again with my fave ProMarkers and Copics and shaded with my Prismacolor pencils.  A sprinkling of Wild Orchid roses completes me card.

I hope you like my take on the challenge this week and don't forget to pop on over to the rest of the DT and spread the luuurve.

My Nitwit Valentine

 

Well, I think i'm on a roll at the mo cause here's another card.

Loving my new Nitwit set I have puchased for Valentines Butterfly Kisses.  I printed out most of the set before I finally decided on which bits I was going to use lol.  Started cutting different elements out and fitting them onto a card base and finally came up with the main base of my card. 

My main task then was trying to find an image to use as I wanted to put something at the top of the hearts.  I have a couple of the Magnolia sitting ones but Angel Tilda fitted perfectly.  I ended up stamping and reprinting her out to get her to sit on the hearts better.  Coloured her in with my with ProMarkers and Copics and shaded with my Prismacolor pencils.  I found out my Stardust Gelly pen and coloured her wing with that to give it a lovely shimmer. 

I sized the flowers from the set and cut and layered them up then decided on bling for the middle instead of a brad.

My thanks to me ol' DT buddy Vicky for highlighting my blog on hers.  I have had some really lovely comments from people who have taken the time to pop on over to have bit of a peek at me cards.  Cheers guys.

Thanks also to Kate (my SCS DT buddy) for your pikky comments.  I have had a play and created a sort of overlay frame for my cards and a signature thingy too, whadda u think???  My Daylight bulb for my lamp has also arrived so the colours are more true to life now too.

Oooh and I googled and found a pikky of a plate holder which I fiddled with then printed and cut out.  So in the absence of an easel I now have a stand for my cards in my new photo booth lol

I hope u likey and I'll see you all tomorro with my Secret Crafter Challenge DT card for this week.
