This month at Scribbles Designs, our theme is For A Child Under 10.   I remember that when my children were under 10, that they liked bright colours and cute animals.  So that was my inspiration for this card:

I have used an image from Scribbles Designs called Hatch Snap Shot and a sentiment from Words.

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  I added a gingham ribbon in bright yellow and orange.  Colouring is with copic markers and Wink Of Stella (yellow and clear).  I also used Distress Ink to ink around the image frame.  The inking on the edge of the sentiment is done with a copic marker.  I added some sparkly yellow stars as embellishments.

For A Friend

I was chatting to my daughter a couple of days ago over a Discord call and I find it hard doing nothing while talking to her so I put this card together.  I finally got around to photographing and watermarking it today.

I used a digital paper from Create with TLC out of one of my Awaiting Crafting boxes. The image is from Lemon Shortbread (also out of an Awaiting Crafting box) and the sentiment is typed on the computer.  Colouring is with copic markers and Wink Of Stella.  I also added some grosgrain ribbon.

Happy Birthday

 I felt like a change of card shape so created a tall narrow Scraplet Card.

I have used a digital paper from my Awaiting Crafting box (not sure of the source).   The image is from The Paper Shelter and the sentiment is a clear stamp that came with a magazine.  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I also added some matching grosgrain ribbon.

 I am back to trying to use up some of my "Awaiting Crafting" boxes.  Both the digital papers and image are from those boxes.  Little by little, I am making progress although at times it doesn't feel like it!

A Bit More Time To Craft - September Challenge

https://abitmoretimetocraftextra.blogspot.com/2020/09/abmttc-extra-challenge-september.html

I have used four different offcut pieces of digital paper from Lozzy.  I followed the Scrappy Strip Technique to create the background.  The image is from QKR Stampede and is coloured with copic markers, Wink of Stella and Kindy Glitz.  I inked the edges of the die-cut with Distress Ink.

Hello

We had a new technique to try for our New Zealand card swap group.  This is the card that I sent in August which as at date of writing hasn't arrived yet - looks like our postal system is experiencing delays again!  I'm not a fan of this techniqe although that is partially because I didn't have any of the stuff I needed for it with the exception of Distress Ink and an iron!

I followed a video for the Iron-Off Technique. 

I have used several clear stamps to create the background as I didn't actually have a background stamp.  I found an old embossing pad that had seen better days but I managed to sort of get it to work with my also old embossing powder.  I tend to use digital stamps these days as I find them easier and cleaner.  This is the second print - the first is in the inside as i was less happy with the first take.   I die-cut a rose using a Tattered Lace die and added a digital sentiment from From The Heart Stamps which I fussy cut.

Butterfly Challenge

I went to edit this post this morning and it had changed to gobbledy gook!  I googled it and found someone else had the same issue.  It seems sometime in the past couple of days that it changed from Compose Mode to HTML without me doing anything!  At least I found an answer as to how to remedy the problem but this new Blogger is a real headache.

Another new fold for me - this one isn't so much a card fold as a fold featured on a card.

I have followed the tutorial for a Curtain Fold Card - Version 2.

I have used all elements of the butterfly wheel again.

The colouring pencils have been used in the embossed area.

Here's another pink Christmas card.  Maybe I'll change colours for my next Christmas card!

I have used two digital papers from Lozzy.  The image is from Paper Nest Dolls.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also added some Glossy Accents to the candy cane.  The ribbon is a grosgrain ribbon from American Crafts.
