Doodle Palace - new images

It's new release day over at DoodlePalace, and this week there's a gorgeous teddy image and some new borders, so I went for the bone border and used a DoodlePalace image of Emery the Pitbull (now isn't he a cutie, he's based on Dee's own Pitbull Emery). I've coloured my image with a mix of PM's and SU! markers and used SU! chalks around the image.

Stampin' Up! used:

Sentiment - Birthday Best

SU Markers - Bashful Blue; Ballet Blue, Summer Sun

Cardstock - Whisper White; Chocolate Chip

Other

Image - Doodle Palace digi & border

papers - from a CD

I'm entering my card into the following four challenges:

Stampin' for the Weekend - Blue & Brown

Digital Tuesday - Happy Birthday

Creative Card Crew - Anything Goes

Cupcake Craft - 5 x 5 Birthday Card

It's freezing here today and I've still got Christmas cards to make, so really ought to crack on!

Have a good day all

Charisma # 30 - Sketch Challenge

Morning all, it's challenge time over at Charisma again, and this week we've got a lovely sketch by Joanne to follow. We're being sponsored by Pink Gem & they are giving away this lovely stamp as a prize, so hop on over to Charisma to join in.

I've used all Stampin' Up! on my card, except for the flower, which is from K&Co & the little diamante bling is from my stash.

Recipe:

Cardstock - Green Galore, Whisper White

DSPs - Rainbow Sherbert

Stamp - from the set "Birthday Best" I've added some glaze to the icing & then sprinkled glitter onto the glaze, which I think I've overdone a bit - oops.

Sentiment - from the set "Fun & Fast Notes"

Hope you'll join us this week

Victoria Case Challenge No. 9

This is my entry for Victoria Case challenge this week, which was a sketch. I've used a VC freebie image - Bunnyfly & coloured it with PM's and a Sakura Stardust pen to add the sparkle to the wings. The backing paper is a freebie from Fred She Said and the sentiment is from Stampin' Up! set "Birthday Best" and the c/s is also SU! Pink Passion.

It's actually a bit brighter in real life, but it's such a dull day here it was hard to get any decent light to take the photo in! Good old British summer eh!

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

Stamp With Us - Colour Challenge

A bright and breezy colour challenge this week at Stamp With Us and I loved the colours which I decided should be:

Certainly Celery - cardstock; watercolour crayon on her dress & shoes

Bashful Blue - DSP (from the set Washington Apple)

Summer Sun - cardstock, SU markers for the balloon, hair ribbons and the flower on her dress

Real Red - cardstock & SU marker on the balloon

The image is from the set "All in the Family" which I have wanted since I started demoing for SU in February and so pleased to get this week, you're going to be seeing a lot more from this set for sure - it's fab! The balloons are from the set "Birthday Best" and I've used my Stamp-a-ma-jig to put them in the perfect place and layered them with silicon, the sentiment is also from this set.

I used my SU scallop punch on the red card border and the only non SU items are the two blue flowers from my stash and my Nesties used to cut out the circle and scallop circle.

Tinker & Co May Challenge + DT Call

Tinker & Co's freebie papers for May are called Strawberry Sundae - yum! Make a project using the freebie papers and you could win a gorgeous exclusive download kit that's not available to buy.  They're also looking for 4 members to join their DT so pop on over & have a look.

This is my entry and I've used two of the papers along with some SU! Chocolate Chip cardstock. The image is SU! from the set "Birthday Best" and I've coloured it with SU! markers Creamy Caramel; Regal Rose and Summer Sun and layered up using Nesties scalloped circles.  The sentiment is also SU! from the set "Fun & Fast Notes" and inked up with a Rose Red marker. The felt ribbon is recycled from a toiletries gift set my daughter had (and was about to throw out when I "rescued" it) and the little gems are from my stash. For the insert I've used a bit more of the paper & the sentiment is also from "Birthday Best"

Project Tuesday Challenge - Double Pocket Bag

I love making cards, but it's always nice to try something different & the challenge over at Project Tuesday was to create this bag, following some easy to follow instructions & this is my design.

I've used Stampin' Up! Sweet Always DSP for the bag & the matting & layering, the stamp and sentiment are also SU, from the set "Birthday Best" and I've finished it with some pink ribbon & a pink flower embellishment from my stash, to pick out the pink on the paper.

It's a really sweet, and quite sturdy little bag and would make a lovely little gift bag - have to decide who to give it to now!
