Scribbles - Feline Frenzy

Midway through March already!  So it is time for a new challenge at Scribbles Designs.  This month our theme is "Feline Frenzy" so we have lots of feline inspiration for you here.  I'm sure that many of you love creating with images of kitties so I look forward to seeing the various feline themed cards you are creating!

I have used Caturday and Nimble Puss as well as Puppy Power Papers.



I  have added faux stitching around both the image and sentiment.  The image and sentiment have both been die-cut with dies from Spellbinders.  I also added some pearls and some mesh ribbon.  Colouring of the image is with copic markers.

Serendipity - Midway Post

Wow.  We are halfway through March - so it is time for a reminder of the challenge going on at The Path Of Positivity.  This month we have the theme of Serendipity.  You can find all the inspirations for the midway point here and the details of the challenge here.

We are sponsored by Sami Stamps and Luna Girl for this challenge:



I have used an image from Sami Stamps for my midway point card.  The image is called A Little Bit O Luck and can be found here.




I have used a paper and matching pearls from Rosie's Studio paper pad called "Enchantment".  The sentiment was prepared for me by Lisa Décosse from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  I added some stickles around the edge of the sentiment and image.  The image is coloured with copic markers.

I thought that this sentiment was a great match for this image - she is prepared with her "lucky" four leaf clover!

Incy Wincy Designs - Colour Challenge

I have a few posts that should have gone out this morning but life got in the way somewhat!

The first post is to let you know of the new challenge at Incy Wincy Designs this week.  We have for you a colour challenge which can be found here.

We are sponsored this week by Limited Runs and Kenny K:




Here is the inspiration card that I created using an image from Kenny K called Sassy Sadie:





I coloured Sadie using copic markers.  The die cuts I have used are an oval from Spellbinders and a more decorative oval from Marianne's Designs.  The paper is from Kaisercraft.  I also added some pacifica style embellishments and some pearls dotted around the image.

CAS Vintage Car

I wanted to keep this card Clean and Simple - partly because I wanted a masculine card but also because I wanted the image to stand out.

Hello Summer

I wish it was!  Today is a wet and thundery autumn day here.  I am nearing the end of my six weeks of ridiculous hours - and missing my crafting alot.  I found myself with a little bit of spare time on my hands today (first time in ages!) and I was inspired to create a summery themed card to brighten my dull day!



I would like to enter my card into these challenges:
Meljens Designs Studio - Seeing Double

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft for the background.  The images are both from Meljens Designs Studio and have been coloured with copic markers.  To complete the summery beachy theme I have added some shell shaped embellishments.

Bucket of Flowers

February is such a hectic month for me.  I am now scrambling to complete the cards for the progressive challenges!


I would like to enter my card into these challenges:
The Outlawz Progressive Challenge - February
http://outlawzchallenges.ning.com/group/freebie-progressive-challenge/forum/topics/progressive-freebie-challenge-february-1st-2015


I have used a paper from a paper pad from Rosie's Studio.  The image is the freebie image from the progressive challenge at The Outlawz and is by Sandi Samples. I coloured using copic markers and then added Kindy Glitz to the heart.  The frame around the image is a Sizzix die cut from gold paper. I coloured some ribbon flowers using copic marker YR02  and added these along with some pearls to the top of the card.  I also added some dots made with Kindy Glitz under the image.
