I have used a paper from MME for the background.  The image is by Anne Fenton as part of the challenge above.  I have added some doodling around the image using a Distress Marker - Spiced Marmalade.  I used this same marker to add a bit of colour to the rhinestones.  The image has been coloured using copic markers.  I have also added some orange mesh ribbon.

Gone with a black and grey background with colour in the image this time.  I'm pleased with the effect:

QKR Stampede - Halloween

The background paper for this card comes from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  It comes from the October Kit found on the Wonderful Wednesdays posts.

The image is Kitty Paw Ventura from The Stamping Chef.  I have coloured her using copic markers in Halloween colours and then added some Stickles - Black Diamond to her hair.  The sentiment is from Paper Dreams of Mine. I used Spellbinders circle and pennant dies for die-cutting and black cardstock for matting.

Birdhouse Flowers

I have repeated the flowers in the image to create a "matching" border:

The background paper comes from Kaisercraft.  The image is Birdhouse from Digi Darla which I coloured with copic markers and then matted onto orange cardstock.  The flowers have been punched from orange glitter foam using a Marianne's die.  I added a pearl to the centres of the flowers.

Bit by the Bug Beginnings: Another Bug is Born

You are going to want to go and visit Creative Bug on the Loose today because a new Bug has been born. Naomi is sharing with the world her newest release:

?????

Here is my card that I created using this wonderful digi:

I have used two papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles for this card.  I matted a piece of the second paper on to black cardstock for contrast.  The image has been die-cut using a Spellbinders Labels die and coloured with copic markers.  I have added a wooden button from my stash - usually I add these in two or three but this was the last one left!  It looked a bit lonely so I added some dots using Stickles - Orange Peel to give it some company!!!

A Day For Daisies - Flowers
http://www.adayfordaisies.blogspot.co.nz/2013/10/new-release-vintage-mothers-challenge.html

I just thought this little fairy was saying "Miss You" so have run with that theme!  Was also in a bit of a lavender/purple mood - not sure why!  I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft for the background - something fairly neutral as a backdrop for all that purple.  The image is from A Day For Daisies as part of the challenge (link above).   I have added various flowers cut from Marianne's dies from different sets.  I also sprinkled around some pearls in various sizes. The sentiment is from Digital Doodling.  I used a Spellbinders Labels die to cut out the fairy image.
