<br />
We have a new Colour Challenge at the Outlawz today and this week Jeanie chose our challenge and twist!<br />

This is the perfect challenge to make either a St Patrick's Day card or a good luck card - perfect colours and twist!<br />
<br />
So for my project I used a cute image that came from Whimsy stamps (when they did digis) and it is just too cute!<br />
<br />

<br />
<br />
I coloured this little fella with my Polychromos pencils and just added a little Wink of Stella to the coins and his buckles. I used some paper from Tattered Lace and added some nice sparkly clovers!<br />
<br />
I hope you like my little leprechaun and I do hope you can come over and play with us this week!<br />

Well at least I will make one post this month. Life has definitely got in the way of art and I coloured up this lovely image for a little stress relief! This beautiful mermaid is by Ike and I won it for being in the top 3 of one of their recent challenges - I was so honoured!<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

<br />
I coloured the image using my new favourites, Polychromos pencils, I cut it out using an oval die and the outside the box technique, I then printed off some shells, cut them out then shaped them using an embossing tool and used them to frame this beautiful image - I used a wooden word that I coated in marquasite glitter, all mounted onto a pearlised teal card - very simple!<br />
<br />

What a beautiful image and there is also a coloured image if you're in a hurry and a lovely sentiment too!<br />
<br />
I coloured the image with pencils (I am trying to practice!) and layered it up with a pretty die cut from Apple Blossom and finished with some pretty flowers and pearls from Wild Orchid Crafts!<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">

I went for some very bright colours to bring the beauty of the window out!<br />
<br />

<br />
I belong to a group on Facebook where one of the members asked if anyone could make a card for her husband to wish him well as he undergoes chemotherapy - I thought what a lovely thing to do for your husband so I put my hand up. This is a card for someone I don't know so fortunately the lady did put some likes on her post and one was a liking for birds of prey.<br />
<br />
I got this image from somewhere and I must confess I don't remember where but it was the perfect image for a CAS card, coloured with Polychromos pencils (my new love!) with a hint of inking around the edges.<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnvRCs5UQNoTiAi7F8M2d5Z_g4TLGlpVg1rTQuAs4DWfM1v6yLdT-Wrqw8fDlIuGS4hl9OrZ1euTEPPG35ZAReO4YSp-4O-LXpOCuJDIMeO_cjeFVcPlzdupJtJKpdAhimOYoMRyJaUA9n/s1600/Eagle+Card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="385" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjnvRCs5UQNoTiAi7F8M2d5Z_g4TLGlpVg1rTQuAs4DWfM1v6yLdT-Wrqw8fDlIuGS4hl9OrZ1euTEPPG35ZAReO4YSp-4O-LXpOCuJDIMeO_cjeFVcPlzdupJtJKpdAhimOYoMRyJaUA9n/s400/Eagle+Card.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
The sentiment finishes inside with the line - and back on cloud nine!<br />
<br />
I was pleased with how this came out - for once, it was exactly as I had imagined it! I do hope it will bring a smile to the person it is made for and hopefully he will get many cards to show him that people do care!<br />
<br />
I am hoping to enter this into the following challenges:<br />

<br />
So I'm tentatively back and will try and get my act together soon!<br />
<br />
Back to business - the new challenge is starting over at Eclectic Ellapu and to start the year with a bang we have everyone's favourite - Anything Goes.<br />
<br />
So for my project I have made a birth card for one of the guys at work that has had twins! The boys were delivered by section and arrived at around 7lb each, Mum and Dad are extremely thankful after many years of trying and finally going for IVF.<br />
<br />
So here is my card<br />
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAcomsSmH354EMnGjAlbaj_pmnVDI1z97Keoq6uNk773VDBmpqGqxedjomkifsoUvt7x0KoZg5p_FBGAjssv4M0qs0FJf_cXZbG3Tzxbdc4fuJJfXFVXXp3fTsLL6KSXaCo9M2_IbZkmsR/s1600/Boy+Birth+card.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="390" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjAcomsSmH354EMnGjAlbaj_pmnVDI1z97Keoq6uNk773VDBmpqGqxedjomkifsoUvt7x0KoZg5p_FBGAjssv4M0qs0FJf_cXZbG3Tzxbdc4fuJJfXFVXXp3fTsLL6KSXaCo9M2_IbZkmsR/s400/Boy+Birth+card.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<br />
I used an image from Mo Manning - what a great image for twins! Coloured with Copics.<br />
<br />
I hope you will come over and join us for this first challenge of 2017 - we love to see your projects!<br />
<br />
See you there!!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891048990797979258.post-61891440421268592942016-10-01T07:54:00.001+01:002016-10-01T07:54:20.007+01:00Shabby Chic?The new challenge has started at Eclectic Ellapu and the theme for the pink team this month is Shabby Chic/Vintage, now to me those two sorta go together!<br />
For my project I made a Memories Box for a dear friend who is in need of some support and a memories box can lift someone when they are down so I am hopeful.<br />
For the box I used a basic wood box from the Works they have a great range of wood blanks at such reasonable prices.<br />
I used Color Arte Opal Rose paint for the base and sponged with some mica powder to get the background effect<br />

<br />
I used a mask with some texture paste across the corner, The letters are die cuts that have been loaded with. old gold texture paste the heart, corners and key are from<a href="https://krafterzion.zibbet.com/"> Ellapu's wonderful stor</a>e where she has some amazing embellishments at such good prices, I filled the heart with liquid glass to give it more height, all the other embellishments are from Craftbox that I subscribe to every month for some fabulous crafty bits!<br />
These are some other view of the sides<br />

As I always make a card for births (its become a bit of a tradition) I decided to use this gorgeous baby from Sugar Nellie, I do think it is the most delicious little baby ever!<br />
I coloured the image with Copics and used some pretty die cuts to frame it along with the diecut letters and numbers.<br />

I have used the digi "<a href="http://www.missdaisystamps.com/product/sweet-blooms/">Sweet Blossom</a>" for my card and I used a die cut for my shape.<br />
As its August and supposed to be high summer I went with some lovely summery colours for my project<br />

It is made using 3cm jig saw puzzle pieces that I have decorated with lots of different media, some are done with Pebeo effects paints, I used three different ranges - I so love these paints!, I have used some Color Art paint that is gorgeous and gives a different look from every direction and I have used some Mica powders that I directly mixed on an acrylic base. All the little elements I have used are from Craft Box and they send me the most luscious bits in a box each month, a very exciting company that if you haven't found them yet go have a look at what they do!<br />
<br />

Andrea has drawn this digi in two versions depending on which side of the pond you are on. For me it has to be Mum so this is what I made with it.<br />

I used some fabulous card from Hunkydory for my base and layered up the digi on some cerise card, both cut with a hexagon die, the image has been coloured with Copics and I used a couple of butterflies to bring it all together.</div>

But all that aside we have a new challenge at Eclectic Ellapu and the theme is Spring Flowers.<br />
For my card I used some lush card from Hunkydory and layered it up with a beautiful image from Conie Fong, who produces some of the sweetest images!<br />

The image is called Spring Flowers quite appropriately! She was coloured with Copics - I am slowly moving over to Copics and they are so different to Promarkers its lke learning to colour again! I used a Spellbinders die for the lacy die cut and some Tattered Lace dies for the leaves and flourishes in the flowers, The flowers are mostly from Wild Orchid Crafts - the aqua fabric flower was from Poundland<br />
We'd love to see your spring flowers over at Eclectic Ellapu (Pink team) and if you're not feeling flowery the Purple team are having some "April Showers"!Unknownnoreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5891048990797979258.post-66187180734549425902016-03-27T18:24:00.002+01:002016-03-27T18:24:09.928+01:00Unicorn!Another quick post for me today and this one is practically all digital! I have used some pages from Dragons Lair Designs for the background and layered up with the beautiful digi from DLD ( I did edit out some of the white in the surround), I added a pleated bow from the same set as the papers and a ribbon to finish it off. I printed it out, coloured the area around the unicorn then layered it up onto some black card and added a little bling, a very quick project that looks great I think!<br />

I coloured the image with a mix of Promarkers and Copics and added a Wink of Stella to bring out her scales and the blues in her hair.<br />
The die cut is a decorative screen from the Downton Abbey range by Crafters Companion. I hope you like it!<br />

The shells are printed then shaped with an embossing tool, the sentiment is a wooden embellishment from the Works which I have covered in peacock embossing powder and heat embossed, the background is from Tattered Lace.<br />
