Eldon the Caterpillar meets 4 Challenges

I've not been entering so many challenges lately, just don't seem to find the time, so I was quite pleased to be able to make a card to match 4 challenges, plus after not liking my previous card, I wanted to make another card straight away (a bit like getting back in the saddle after falling off a horse - so to speak!). Anyway, enough waffle, this card is for:

TMITA - Use Eldon the Caterpillar digi-image plus use ribbon to make a bow

Carol's Sketch Fun - the sketch

Little Paper Shop - use Autumn colours - Rose Red; Pumpkin Pie & Summer Sun

Stamp With Fun - use Autumn colours

I've used Stampin' Up! throughout (except for the image) & paper-pieced Eldon's body to match with the papers.

Recipe:

Image - digi-stamp from TMITA

Sentiment - Circle of Friendship

Stampin Write Markers - Pumpkin Pie; Rose Red; Summer Sun

DSPs - Summer Picnic

Cardstock - Summer Sun; Rose Red; Pumpkin Pie

Ribbon - Fairytales

Other - ProMarkers - green & grey

It's been an absolutely gorgeous day today, so much so I had trouble taking this picture as it was so bright and I either got overexposed or shadows, so the piccie's actually a bit darker than the colours are in real life.

Challenge 37 - Flower Power

Hello, it's Challenge Day over at Charisma and this week it's been set by Leanne, and her theme is Flower Power, so looking forward to seeing lots of lovely flowers this week.

For my card I've kept it quite simple, the image is a freebie from TMITA which I thought was really lovely. I was going to enter my card there as well, but forgot I was supposed to be embossing or scoring on the card, so it probably won't qualify now!

I've coloured my flower with ProMarkers, the DSPs are digi-papers from ScrapGirls from a set called New Growth, the cardstock is Stampin' Up! Pixie Pink, the ribbon is from the retiring Fairy Tale originals (reduced by 50%) and the button is also SU - Earth Elements.

Hope you can join us this week & get all flowery!

There's Magic in the Air - Be Inspired

TMITA provided this oh so cute digi-stamp for free along with an inspirational picture to use this week, which I used for the colours.

I've coloured my little duck, who's called Elvis by the way, with ProMarkers and used a white opaque pen to make the dots on his welly boots. The background papers and sentiment are all digi-papers from Two Peas in a Bucket, from a collection called Splish Splash, which I thought rather appropriate and the colours worked too! The cardstock is Stampin' Up! Barely Banana and I've based my layout on one of Vee's sketches, which you can find on her blog Vee's Sketch Pad

The card came together really quickly, just a shame my printer decided to play up & getting the papers printed out (in the right colours) took about an hour!

There's Magic in the Air - It's a Celebration

Nina is giving away this great digi-stamp this week for the challenge over at There's Magic in the Air, which is all about Celebrations.

I thought the image would make a great boy's card and as it's my nephew's 5th birthday this weekend, and he's a very cheeky monkey I thought it would be appropriate to make the card for him! I've coloured my image with ProMarkers, the digi-papers are from Digi-Scrap Kits which I bought to go with the image as despite my enormous collection of papers & digi-papers I just couldn't find the right one, but like the jungley colours on these. The c/s is Stampin' Up! Glorious Green, the sentiment is a peel-off I've coloured & the name has been cut out with my Cuttlebug. The card was put together really quickly, shame I spent about 3 hours looking for the right papers!
