Today is your day

I decided as I was making a masculine card with a more masculine image, that I would work with a CAS design this time.

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The image is from Rick St Dennis and is coloured with copic markers.  The digital sentiment is from Desert Diva.  I matted both the image and sentiment with some black cardstock.

Fall Owl

I pretty much followed the sketch for this challenge - but sparkled it up a bit with some glitter!

I have used all three papers plus the image from Little Scraps of Heaven.  I added some Kindy Glitz to the one that I used to mat the image as well to the centres of the flowers on the border strip.  I used some narrow yellow satin ribbon for the bow.

Swimming Hello

This morning I have woken up to sunshine - maybe summer is getting nearer.  It probably still isn't that warm outside but it is fantastic to see the sun!

Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes
http://inspirationdestinationchallengeblog.blogspot.co.nz/2016/08/AG-NO-98.html

I have used a paper and a border from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  I added some Kindy Glitz to the border to give it a bit more dimension and contrast to the background paper.  I also used some washi tape from Sugar and Spice Studio.  The image is from Sheepski Designs and has been coloured with copic markers.  I added a pre-made polka dot bow at the top of the image.

Sitting Pretty

I love kitty images - and was inspired to go girlie with this one.

CRAFT Challenge - Anything Goes
http://trimmiescraftchallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2016/08/challenge-376-11th-of-august-anything.html

I have used a paper and a couple of die-cuts from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The image is from The Paper Shelter and has been coloured with copic markers before die-cutting with a die from Spellbinders.  I also added some faux stitching with a Distress Marker.  I added three pearls from Rosie's Studio and some pre-coloured ribbon roses.

For Your Wedding Day

I went with a soft palette for this card - partially inspired by the paper.

Penny's Paper Crafty - Anything Goes
http://pennyschallenges.blogspot.co.nz/2016/08/welcome-to-pennys-challenge-290.html

I have used a paper from a wedding paper pad by Rosie's studio.  The image is from All Dressed Up and is coloured with copic markers.  I die-cut using a Spellbinders die and then inked the edge with Distress Ink -  Shabby Shutters.  I also used some white lace from Sullivans, some white satin ribbon to tie a bow and some white enamel dots from Rosie's Studio.

Scribbles

It is the middle of August already!  The good news though, is that there is a new challenge starting at Scribbles Designs and this month the theme is Mason Jars.  I have used an image from Scribbles Designs called Snowflake Mason Jar and a sentiment also from Scribbles Designs.

I have also used a snowflake patterned paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  I matted with silver metallic paper and added some gems - two of which are snowflake shaped.
