Spring

It is a long time until it is Spring here but with the colder autumn temperatures it is nice to create Spring on a card.

Always Fun Challenges - Spring

I have used two digital papers for the background (unsure of the sources for both of them).  The image is from Ike's Art and the sentiment is from Create with TLC.  Colouring is with copic markers and Wink of Stella.  I also added some bright yellow flower embellishments.

Happy Easter

 I had a play with some Brusho powders to create a background.  I only lightly spritzed the water so that it was more of a splashy background.

The Outlawz Sunday Challenge - Happy Easter

I have used three colours of Brusho Powders for the background.  The digital paper is from Trimygym.  The image is from Oddball Art Company and the sentiment is from Anji's Antics.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Merry Christmas To Ewe

 This one is a bit of a push with "Things with Wings" as it is only one of the sheep with wings - and they are only a small part of the image.  But still, the wings are there.

I have used two digital papers from Trimgym.  The image/sentiment panel is from Bugaboo Stamps.  Colouring is with copic markers, Wink of Stella and Kindy Glitz.  I also added a glitter foam snowflake embellishment and some ribbon.

I followed the sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday 2:



A Record Achievement

 Another card using up some bits and pieces from my Awaiting Crafting boxes - digital paper, image and sentiment.

Catch The Bug - Things With Wings
http://catchthebugblog.blogspot.com/2021/03/theme-challenge-things-with-wings.html

I have used a digital paper from Bearly Mine Designs.  I also embossed some white cardstock using an embossing folder from Couture Creations.  I then swiped some Metallic Polish across the embossing.  

The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and I'm not sure of the source of the sentiment.  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz plus I also inked all the edges with Distress Ink - Abandoned Coral.

Just For You

 A little mini card using scraps as well as an image and sentiment from my Awaiting Crafting boxes.  It is probably hard to tell from the photograph but this card measures just 8cm x 8cm.

https://showusyourpussies.blogspot.com/2021/03/show-us-your-pussycats-challenge-64.html

I have used offcuts of patterned papers from paper pads.  The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and the sentiment is one that I typed on the computer.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I embellished the card with several cat themed puff stickers.

Life's better on the beach

I found an image with a lot of B words in it - and then added on with the colours.

Di's Digis - B is for (Beach, Ball, Bikini, Blue, Brown)
http://disdigidesignschallenge.blogspot.com/2021/03/all-about-bs-challenge-bears-bows.html

I have used two digital papers - I'm not sure of the source of the striped one but the other one is from Polka Doodles.  The image is from Di's Digi Downloads and the sentiment is from From The Heart Stamps.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I added some blue domes as they reminded me of water droplets which fitted with my beach theme!



Thinking Of You

 I'm a bit last minute with this card.  I had to take my Mum for another eye appointment.  After being away from the house for 5 hours last week (including driving time) I was hoping it would be less this week.  Instead it was an extra half hour, so I'm really behind with things.
