Charisma Delightful Daisies & Digital Tuesday

Our theme over at Charisma this week is Delightful Daisies, to be interpreted any way you wish and I've gone for this sweet Swiss Pixie sitting in daisies on some daisy themed paper. I've coloured my pixie with SU! markers & PM's and used my new SU! corner punch to round the edges. The papers are digi freebies from Forever Free, the sentiment is SU! from "Stem Sayings" and I've matched up the purple in the dotty papers with SU! Elegant Eggplant cardstock, the gorgeous chipboard daisy is from my stash.

I'm also entering this into Digital Tuesday's challenge (as it's a digi-stamp & papers I've used) where the theme is "Things with Wings" and although they're not very obvious this little pixie does have wings, which I've coloured with a glittery pen.

Hope you can join us at Charisma this week & TFL xx

Passion for ProMarkers meets Digital Tuesday

Have combined two challenges with this card - the theme over at Passion for ProMarkers this week was a sketch & an open colour combo, which was great for me as I don't have a massive range of PM's and nearly every week only seem to have one of the colours required to take part. I've combined it with Digital Tuesday's Challenge, which this week was "bling" and we all love a bit of bling! Well I do anyway!!

The stamp is a digi-stamp from Digi-Stamp Boutique, coloured with Rose Pink, Warm Grey 1, Blossom & Gold PMs, the papers are Stampin' Up! Tea Party, the c/s is also SU - Pretty in Pink. The sentiment is from a rub-on, which I've never had any success with in the past, but read somewhere that you can use a Cuttlebug with rub-ons and it worked a treat, once I'd got the sandwich right, so well pleased with that little tip! The flowers were cut using an X-Cut punch and the bling flowers are from my stash.

Digital Tuesday & Papertake Weekly

Well after days of not making much at all, I seem to be on a bit of a roll today, and this card is for two challenges - Digital Tuesday who were asking you to use your scraps (got plenty of those) and Papertake Weekly asking you to use a digital download.

The image is a Digi-stamp called Libby from Digi-Stamp Boutique and I've coloured her with ProMarkers and a bit of Sakura Stardust pen on her skirt; the papers are digi-papers from Funky Fairy; the c/s is Stampin' Up! Barely Banana; the ribbon is SU! Whisper White coloured with a Barely Banana marker to match; the sentiment is also SU! from the ever useful set "Fun & Fast Notes" - I use this sentiment a lot as it's nice and slim, and the very sweet little chipboard flower is from my stash.

I seem to have taken the photo at a funny angle as the card looks curved and so does the ribbon, but in reality it is straight - honest!!

Stampin for the Weekend & Digital Tuesday

Made this card for two challenges - Stampin' for the Weekend, which was asking for digital-stamping this week & Digital Tuesday, which had a recipe of blue, brown & bling!

The gorgeous image is from Digi-Stamp Boutique and I've coloured her with ProMarkers, the DSPs are Stampin' Up! from the Bashful Blue set (I'm not normally a blue person, but I LOVE this colour!) and the cardstock is also Bashful Blue, the bling bits are from my stash. I know it's more blue than brown, but I'm really pleased how this came out.

An origami box for 2 challenges

First time I've made one of these and it wasn't as complicated as it first looked, the hardest part (for me) was cutting a piece of 12 x 12 into 11 x 11 - sounds easy but I'm so rubbish at measuring and then I cut the same end twice so ended up with a 10 x 10 piece! My husband came to my rescue as I was about to have a paddy, took over & I ended up with a lovely, straight square. The upshot of this is that I NEED a ScorPal!! The good thing about this box is you can make it any size you want (phew) as long as the piece for the lid is ½" bigger, so mine's a tad smaller than I originally intended!

The box was the project over at Stamps & Smiles this week & Digital Tuesday's Challenge was also to make a box or bag, so the two challenges went really well together.

I used Stampin' Up! DSP as it's double sided and quite thick, thick enough to make a box and easier to manipulate than cardstock, the paper is from the set Tea & Crumpets. I've also made a band to go around the box and have secured that underneath with a velcro fastener so it's easy to remove & open the box.

The image is a digital image from the Digi-shack and I've coloured it with SU! markers in Barely Banana, Apricot Appeal & Certainly Celery, I've also used some SU matching Barely Banana cardstock to mount it on.

Digital Tuesday No. 9

A sketch to follow this week at Digital Tuesday. I've used an image from Inky Impressions that was a giveaway ages ago & it's been in my box waiting to be used. I've coloured her with ProMarkers, the papers are some Papermania I've also had unopened for ages, so it was good to finally use them, the flowers are from my stash & the sentiment is from SU! set Birthday Best, cardstock SU! Apricot Appeal

Secret Crafter & Digital Tuesday

Another two challenges with this card, I saw this gorgeous digi-stamp from Digi-Stamp Boutique on Donna's blog this morning and just loved it, I've been asked to do a wedding card, so I hopped right over and bought it. I'm entering it into Secret Crafter's Challenge which is New Beginnings and Digital Tuesday's which is weddings.

I've coloured the image with ProMarkers and layered it onto SU! Real Red cardstock, the DSP's are by Pebble Ink and the ribbon is from my stash. 

Tuesday Taggers & Digital Tuesday Challenges

I have managed to do two challenges with this little tag card, a new Challenge Blog called Tuesday Taggers were asking for something "new" on a tag to launch their blog, and I thought of this image as a graduation leads on to new things, whilst over at Digital Tuesday the challenge was "Tag You're It"

The image is a download from Pink Petticoat called "Yoo Hoo" and comes with the Wise Guy sentiment (and also without if you prefer), I've coloured him with my SU markers in Close to Cocoa, Creamy Caramel and Garden Green.  The cardstock is SU More Mustard and the DSPs are SU from the sets "Sweet Always" and "Tea and Crumpets".  The congrats sentiment is from the SU set "Cheer & Wishes".  The tag shape I've cut by hand (you can tell) as I didn't have a decent sized die for this, but hopefully it's slightly wobbly edges add to the charm!! That's my excuse anyway!

Bee Happy

Made this cute little card and found it fits 3 challenges, so that's a bonus!

DU2DS - are asking for "Things with Wings"

Digital Tuesday - are asking for Showers or Flowers

Stamp Something - also asking for Shower or Flowers

This cute little fella is a freebie from Dustin Pike and I've coloured him with a variety of medium, it took two attempts as I just couldn't get him right! Who would have thought colouring in a bumble bee would be so hard?! Anyway, I've used pencils for his body, Sakura glaze pens for his umberella, boots and water, a Sakura Stardust pen for his glittery wings and my brand new Promarkers, which I bought yesterday and just love, for his face.

The papers are from Here's a Scrap as are the embellishments
