Happy Birthday

I know, Shock Horror, Tracie has posted MidWeek!!

Well I am off work on me hols at the mo so getting a spot of cardmaking in while I can lol.  Also my friends son's birthday is coming up and she has asked me to make him a car. He likes roaring at people at the moment, being a dragon so I thought this would be the perfect card.

I also found out that it is Dustin Pike's Birthday too, the creator of Dudley, our fearsome dragon and have entered it into this weeks challenge over at Doodle Dragon Studios Challenge Blog.

I have coloured Dudderz with my Copics and used Prisma colour pencils to add a little more depth as I don't quite have the dark green I needed (savin me money for the New Copic release in Feb hehehe).

I'm not sure if you can see but i've also glittered the opposing corners of my card to bling it up a bit lol

Don't you think little froggy looks petrified at Dudley. I'm going to tell the little man that he is trying not to be sick as that is another fascination of his at the moment (Kids eh!!! lol)

Well thats all from me today. You never know I may post some more cards soon too hahahaha

SCSC - Let them Eat Cake - DT Card

Hi Guys

Blogger being an evil toad to me today and wont let me upload a pikky now grrrrrrr.  I'll have another go later on this afternoon, please keep your fingers crossed for me lol.

I am also never scheduling a post again.  Not only has it lost a post, it still hasn't posted this one and it is now 930am grrrrrr.

But it has given me the opportunity to let you all know that we have some fab new Sponsors for our challenges (well done to the Wooo's and Jane xxx).

This week you have the chance to snag a totally brilliant £10 Crafters Companion online gift voucher (wooooo hoooooo, thank u Sara xx)

This weeks challenge has been set by the lovely Andie and she has chosen a scrummy theme of ........

Let them Eat Cake

Mmmmmm cake!!

Well ladies I can say for certain that there are soooooooooo many images out there that you can use for this challenge lol.  Cupcakes, teacakes, birthday cakes..... (you get my drift hahaha)  so lets see all that scrummy delishushusnesss (I know, not a real word hehe).

This weeks image Happy Birthday to Me has come courtesy of The Paper Shelter.  I settled on trying to do a CAS card (not too good at them as I try and add too much lol) and decided to use the precoloured version, then changed the colours in Photoshop to match the lush papers from their So Girly paper collection.  I added a little pencil shading to make it really pop off the page. I have cut it out and stuck to plain card using 3d glue gel.   So the sentiment is a little smudged as I tried to stamp it and wondered why I couldn't stamp properly???  


Note to self .....  Remember to stamp the sentiment BEFORE sticking the image down!!!  (at least I managed to fix the crease line down the centre of his face before the glue dried lmao)

I added a bit of sparkle to the candles and there you go, card finished in super fast time

SCSC - All Creatures Great n Small (including Aliens) - DT Card

Well another week has gone by and isnt it cold brrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr.

This weeks challenge has been set by the lovely Linda and is ...

All Creatures Great n Small (including Aliens)

As it has been soooo cold the last few days I though it appropriate to give ol Rudolf an Airing to get him ready for the snow that will soon be here (woooo hoooo)

I used  Pink Petticoat papers and images this week and added some Bazzil Bling, glitter, flowersoft (for the snowballs) and some ribbon.  A fast and simple card of which I may be making more in different colours.  I coloured Rudolf in with Prisma pencils and his scarf with Copics.  Glittered and glazed his nose for added sparkle.  I cut the scalloped mat on my klic n kut to save me trying to cut out out by hand.

I am off now for a warm in front of our new ceramic heater.  It has a lovely bright glow and is great to snuggle up by.

Pop on over to the other ladiezzz blogs and share the love.

See u all next week (if you haven't been swallowed up by the crowds christmas shopping)

SCS Challenge - One Layer Card - DT Card

 

 This weeks challenge has been set by der lovely Helen, and her chosen theme is...

'One Layer Cards' or

A card where the image is stamped or printed directly on to the card base,
with no additional layers, and minimal embellishment.

A real easy challenge for everyone today as someone didnt like me at all this week lol.  Not only did I end up with a bout of food poisoning and twisted/sprained my ankle again, I ended up leaving my phone at the B&B in Great Yarmouth where we went on our lil hols grrrrrr.

I have eventually got my phone back, lost a few pounds during the food poisoning and had a lovely week away courtesy of my old man lol, so all in all turned out nice again in the end hehehe

I have used a freebie stamp set from Cardmaking and papercraft magazine, stamped with Memento ink and coloured with my prisma pencils as the image was a bit too fiddly for my promarkers/copics.

Ladies an Gents we also have a DT call over at  SCS so if you fancy joining a great bunch of ladies for fun n mischief, pop your details and link on the right hand side of the challenge blog.

Entered into the following ....

SCS Challenge - Clean and Simple - DT Card

This week's challenge is set by the lovely KELLY. She has chosen a theme of:-

CLEAN AND SIMPLE

We want to see projects with a minimalist layout/embellishments. Clean and simple card have lots of white space.

I have used an image that for the life of me cannot remember where it came from. I found it on my hard drive in a very obscure folder called Furries (??? lol) But though it was perfect for this weeks challenge.

I have used my Prismacolour Pencils to colour the image and blended them with paper stumps and Sansodor which are available at Secret Crafter.

I must really try and do more of these cards because I do like how they look and are soooooo quick and simple to do (no thinking about papers and layout lol)


Have you all seen the Create and Craft Announcement??????

Dawn Bibby will be on this Tuesday at 2pm

Not my personal taste but will have a look to see if there are any changes.

Hopes u likey and see u all next week
