I have used a polka dot paper from a paper pad by Rosie's Studio.  The image is from The Paper Shelter and the sentiment is typed on the computer.  Coloring is with copic markers.  I also added some pearls and lace.

Just For You

 Somehow I have managed to get about a week or so behind - after February only being 2-3 days shorter than other months.  I haven't managed to create much outside of Design Team cards but I put aside some time today to do that.  I had been putting this one off as it looked difficult - turned out it wasn't that difficult at all.

I would like to enter:

Passion For Markers - Things With Wings
https://promarkerchallenge.blogspot.com/2023/02/week-679things-with-wings.html

I have used a check paper from a paper pad by Rosie's Studio.  The images on the inside are both from Create with TLC.  Coloring is with copic markers and inking of the embossing is with Distress Ink.  I also added some butterfly puffy stickers.

I used all the elements on the Butterfly wheel.

Sending a Happy Hello

We are at the start of the first Anything Goes Challenge for March 2023 at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.  For this challenge, we are sponsored by Beccy's Place.

I have used an image and sentiment from a set called Tree Scapes by Beccy's Place

Dance In The Puddles

The March Anything Goes Challenge at Jan's Digi Stamps has started.

I have used an image and sentiment from a set by Jan's Digi Stamps called Rain Dance.

and this photo shows the springs behind the layers as well as the greeting panel on the inside of the card:

I have used digital papers from PixelScrapper.  Coloring is with copic markers.  I used a foil card for matting which has picked up a reflection of the colors used on the card.

I have followed a tutorial for a Floating Double Panel Card by Sam Calcott.

 It looks like it is going to be a lovely day today for the start of Autumn.  Summer hasn't been that great weather wise so maybe Autumn will be a bit nicer than usual.

Try Stampin on Tuesday - Sketch and Stripes
http://trystampinontuesday.blogspot.com/2023/02/challenge-595.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Pink Paislee.  The image is from Sheepski Designs.  Coloring is with copic markers.  

This is the sketch that I mostly followed (I changed up the sentiment for some sparkly gem and rotated it)

From Me To You

February seemed to just whizz by.  First day of March means it is the start of the next challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  For the month of March, the themes are Pets and/or Happiness and the sponsors are Mirtillamente and Last Minute Manda.

I have used a set by Last Minute Manda called Crazy Cat Lady.

I have also used a digital paper from Buckwell and a sentiment from Digi Stamps & Joy. I printed the cat bed and knitting wool beside each other and printed the cat separately and after coloring and fussy cutting, added it to the cat bed.  Coloring is with copic markers and Wink of Stella.
