First Christmas card of 2011

Again this card is inspired by 2 challenge blogs this week. The first is Sketch Saturday. This weeks sketch is below

The second challenge blog I am entering this card in is Penny Black Saturday Challenge. The theme over there this week is Christmas In July, hence my first Christmas card for the year. I have moved away from Promarkers this week and have chosen to use water colour pencils. I can’t remember where the papers and embellishments are from, I think they are Flair but can’t be certain. I’ve had them for a while.

Hope you like it and thank you for looking as always. x

Have a mice day!

I have been inspired by 2 separate challenge blogs to make this card. I have used co’ordinations cardstock and HOTP Cardmakers Pretty papers along with a Penny Black image coloured in with Promarkers.

Promarkers used: cool grey 1, cool grey 2, sky blue, cyan, oatmeal, dusky pink, almond, powder blue and tan

The challenge on Sketch Saturday is to design a card using the sketch below

The second challenge on Cute Card Thursday is to use lace. I discovered that I don;’t have any lace but I did come across some paper from a HOTP paper pack that looks like lace so have used this instead.

Thank you for looking.

Rock star hedgehog

Have been inspired to make this male birthday card by this weeks theme on Cute Card Thursday challenge blog which is ‘Technology’. At first I was a little bit stumped as to what image I could use, but looking through my stamps I managed to find this little hedgehog with his microphone. Have kept it nice and simple. Have used nellies dies, image is Penny Black ‘A song for you’, Happy Birthday cuttlebug embossing folder and papers are from the Daisy and Dandelion Perfect Picnic pack. Promarkers used are

Terracota, oatmeal, cool grey 1/3/4, satin, blush, vanilla and pale pink.

I am entering this card in to Cute Card Thursday challenge and I Love Promarkers Challenge

Promarkers Challenge

This weeks I love promarkers challenge is “Include Flowers”. I have used a Kanban stamp. The background colour is Promarker lilac. Other colours used are mint green, vanilla, oatmeal, sandstone, soft peach, soft green and buttercup. I have used diamond glaze on all of the butterflies to make them stand out. The card and embellishments are K&Co.

Thank you for looking.

Oh I do like to be beside the seaside

Unfortunately no such luck for me today but the weather is gorgeous and the theme for this weeks Penny Black Saturday Challenge is Desert Island Stamps. I have decided to go with a beach theme although it could be a favourite Penny Black stamp you use all the time. Any way, I went for a beach theme with this lovely cat image. The papers I think are DCWV and I have used my promarkers to colour the image in with. The stickers are K & Co grand adhesions.

Thank you for looking.

Penny Black Sketch Saturday

Time for a new challenge on Penny Black Saturday Challenge blog. This week the challenge is to make a card with the theme ‘stitch it up’. This can be either faux stitching, hand or machine stitching. As I don’t have a sewing machine I have decided to use rub ons for my faux stitching. The papers I’ve used are K & Co for the orange and the others are HOTP. Again the image has been coloured in with Promarkers and I have used some prima flowers for a nice finish with a brad in the centre. Thanks for looking and please feel free to leave me a comment if you have the time.
