What are Your Favourite Colours?

We'd love to know for the latest challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty!

I got to make a project with one of the gorgeous digis from Kathryne of Stamp Art Design, I so love her work - such cute, cute characters!

I so love turquoise and yellow together they always look so fresh and clean and it doesn't matter what season it is either! I used some pretty papers from my stash along with some yellow glitter card that I used for matting.  I used some spotty yellow ribbon and some flowers that I coloured to match and finished with some turquoise gems for the centres.

You will find Kathrynes lovely work over at Whimsy Stamps so if you like this lovely little cuties pop over and check out some of the others!

Come on over to Penny's and join in the fun - you could wins some fab prizes too!

Ina chose our challenge this week and what great colours to use for a male card!

So here's what I made

I think this is such a cute, cute image! I teamed her up with some happy dp some sunny ribbon and jolly buttons and a couple of pretty bows!

I hope you will come over to Penny's and join us for this fun challenge - see you there!

Color Challenge

Hello everyone, well I may have some time to myself soon, we have a lot on at the moment and time seems to run away from me at the moment!

Well enough of my woes and onto this weeks Color Challenge over at the Outlawz.

Ursula picked this weeks lovely palette and twist

Our sponsor this month is the wonderful Anne Fenton, a very talented lady and I have used one of her beautiful floral images

Now I'm usually stuck for fibres other than twine and that gets boring, same o, same o! But for this challenge I got to use some hessian courtesy of the lovely Elaine who sent me a parcel of goodies that I love!

I coloured the image with Promarkers in lavender and lilac - even though it looks blue! The base card is actually a beautiful pearlised lilac and topped with some lime green pearlised paper! The joys of the British weather - its so hard to get a photo in the right colours!!

Well I've winged enough so I hope you will come over to the Outlawz and join us in this fun challenge!

I hope to see you soon!!

New Style Eclectic Ellapu!

Gosh what a day Saturday was, very stressful and I hope we will have some good news soon, If we do I will let you know what all the stress was for, lol!
Now for stress free - Eclectic Ellapu are combining teams and challenges and will now be every three weeks! The pink team has a theme of 'Wings', the purple team has a theme of 'Butterflies' so I think my card covers both challenges!!

I found the template for this on the net and for my sins I have forgotten where I found it so sorry I can't credit the am azing person that devised this wonderful template!
I cut the card from some raspberry pearl card then layered it up with some delish papers from my stash.
I used a Marianne die to cut ther final butterfly from some pink glitter card I finished it off with some pretty gems!

Unusual for me to make a card without a coloured image but I hope you like it!

Come on over to Eclectic Ellapu and join in the fun - I hope to see you there!!

The Sun's Still Shining!!!

Yes it's Wednesday and we still have sunshine, woohoo! It's also a new challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty and it's one that everyone loves - Anything Goes!!

Our sponsor this week is the lovely Lacy Sunshine and I got to use the gorgeous Emily Spring Blossom Showers and this is what I did with her

I decided she was definitely a pink girlie - I think I was right don't you? I coloured her with alcohol markers then matted her onto some bright pink and black card. I used some pink flowery paper from my stash for the background and made a frame using a Memory Box die and some sugar pink glitter card!

I hope you will come over to Penny's this week and join in the fun - see you there!!

I Do Believe Spring Is Coming!!!

The weather here in UK has changed (at long, long last!) and we have seen sunshine since Saturday (it's probably our summer, lol!) I always feel so much better when the sun shines so for this weeks DT card for the Color Challenge at the Outlawz I had that sunny feeling - firsstly let me show you Penny's cute, cute picture

Now is that not the cutest and don't you just have to go aaaaahhhhh!

So for my card I had to go with cute as well and seeing as it's nearly summer, lol, I just had to go with ths darling from Sassy Cheryl

I used green, blue and white as my colours and my twist is CAS! I just love this image and it would be perfect for sooooo many occasions! Coloured with my usual alcohol markers, cut out and mounted onto white Centura Pearl card, I added some green and blue glitter letters and that's your lot!

More Shades of Green!!

I didn't know I had so many!! I've made another card for the Aurora Wings Facebook challenge, Shades of Green.
Today I have used this gorgeous image

I love this image - I love harlequins so this has to be a favourite! I coloured it using a selection of alcohol markers. I used to have some lilies that were green much like these - another thing I love is green flowers (and white). I used a selection of green stickles for the glitter strings.  The fan die cut is from Joanna Sheen and I love it, I thought perfect for this image, the flourish is from Crafts Too and the corner is from Memory Box. I added a wooden flourish that I inked green and used a large pearl for the centre.

I hope you like my latest shades of green and I hope to see you again soon!

Shades of Green!

On Aurora Wings Facebook group this month has a challenge to use shades of green. I did at first think Oh NO! but then I thought about it and found it was really easy! I got a head start by using the lovely Shamrock Pixie

I used a base card in dark green pearlised card then layered the image with shades of bright green. The corners and embellies are cut from a very dark green glitter card and the image has been coloured with a variety of alcohol markers.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!

Spring Has Sprung!

Well according to the weather it was the first day of Spring on Saturday (UK) and today the car was frozen....oh well it's a nice thought!!
Roxann obviously was having similar thoughts when she chose this lovely inspirational picture for the Color Challenge at the Outlawz today

aren't they gorgeous colours that make you think the sun will shine!

Our sponsor this month is the very talented Anne Fenton of Annes Digital Art who has the most amazing digi's for all occasions so please go check her site out!

For my card I have used an image of Annes

such a peaceful image! I used some cream card as my base and added some pretty blue paper, I then diecut lots of flowers using a Memory Box die in yellow and blue. The sentiment is a die cut too!

Hope you will come over to the Color Challenge this week and join us for this lovely challenge - hope to see you there!

Up In The Air!

The latest challenge at Dragonfly Dreams was chosen by our lovely Elizabeth and she wants to see your projects that are Up In The Air - let your imagination run wild!

We have a wonderful sponsor this month

for my card I have used the fabulous Fuchsia and Hummingbird. It comes as a complete set and includes the sentiments

I printed the image and sentiment off then coloured the fuchsia and hummingbird with Promarkers/Flexmarkers/Copics. I have a fuchsia that colour in my garden and it is such a beautiful colour. I used a bit of Sakura Starlight to the stamens and some Gloss pen to the hummingbird., I used layers of sparkly paper that don't actually show up but the blue, cream and teal are all glitter papers! I finished with some blue organza ribbon and some blue gems.

I do hope you will come over to Dragonfly Dreams and show us your projects that are Up In The Air!

Vintage Time

We are going vintage at Eclectic Ellapu and we would love to see all your vintage projects!

I had fun making this one

I got a pad of Fairy Belle paper free with Simply Cards and Papercraft last month and they are all such lovely papers and all with a very vintage feel to them - I was spoilt for choice! I added some cream crochet lace, I picked out the lime green from the paper and matched the corners to that. I finished the corners with some pearls. My birdcage was a wooden cut out from Daisy Moon that I painted then covered with it with some lime green shaggy glitter, the tag was cut from a vintage pad and I added the sentiment and heat embossed it in some chocolate glossy embossing powder.

I do hope you'll come over and join us for this challenge, show us your vintage projects, we'd love to see them so I hope to see you all over at Eclectic Ellapu!

Thanks for stopping by and I hope to see you again soon!!
