SPRING BOOTS

 Morning Everyone,

Back with my DT card for the start of a new challenge at Allsorts where the theme, alongside Anything Goes, is Springtime.


I have chosen to use an image from Dreamees which I received as a bundle for Christmas called Spring Boots.  There are different images of coloured boots to use with co-ordinating papers and this is my first card using them.   I have inked around the edge of the image with pink Distress Oxide and used white ribbon and twine.  The sentiments are from CraftAddiction UK.

There are 2 Penny Black stamps available from Buddly Crafts.

I look forward to seeing your lovely Spring cards. Thank you for your visit and see you soon.

FAVOURITE EMBELLISHMENT?

Morning Everyone,

A little late with my post today for As You Like It where the theme is "Favourite Embellishment".


If I don't do a full on fancy card my favourites are pearls or enamel dots, which ever suits the card best.  I have used pearls this time as they are more elegant looking and balance the card off as I thought the white space looked a bit too bare.  I have used my CraftAddiction slatted circle die and flowers from Spellbinders.  The birthday tags are also from CraftAddiction and the colour scheme of turquiose and gold is to enter into their Facebook page challenge.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I would like to enter:

Word Art Wednesday - Anything Goes
Simon Says Weds - Anything Goes
Creative Moments - Anything Goes

Early visit to the dentist this morning for a check up and thankfully all clear. That was one reason why I'm late with my post. I really don't like going and worry about it beforehand.  Anyway, better late than never!

See you soon and thank you for visiting.

THINGS WITH WINGS

Morning Everyone,

Today is the start of a new challenge over at Allsorts where I've chosen the optional theme of Things with Wings to go alongside Anything Goes.


For my card I have used the Hibiscus Garden die set from Altenew alongside Hummingbird dies from Waffle Flower.  The birds were cut in white and various inks used to make them look pretty.    The leaves were cut from some variegated green dp and the flowers cut in a peach and lemon coloured card and shaded with copics where necessary. Before adhering everything to the card I lightly inked the bottom half in green and top in a pale blue.  The sentiment is from a MFT birthday messages set.

The prize is a $30 gift card from Taylored Expressions and extra prize of an A4 stamp set.
    
                                                             

I hope you can join us and you can pop over here to see the inspiration from the rest of the DT.

Thank you for your visit and have a lovely weekend.

TOOLS R US

 Morning Everyone,

We have a new challenge starting over at As You Like It and we are asking "who is your favourite person to craft for?".

I love making for all family members, but I have chosen hubby this time.  He knows I don't really like/make many masculine cards so when I make the effort for him he really appreciates it.

For this card I have used tool dies from Sweet Dixie.  I have die cut them in snippets of red, grey and silver mirri card and arranged them around the die cut numbers.  The sentiments are from a Woodware stamp set also containing diy tools.  He is definitely a Mr. Fix It so I thought the words were very apt for him.

The sponsor for the challenge is:

I would like to enter:

Snippets Playground - all tools and numbers are from snippets, but no photo sorry.

I hope you can join us.   Thank you for your visit and I will be back soon.

SPRING BUNNY

Morning Everyone,

I hope you had a good weekend.  I had a little play and this is what I came up with.


I used a LOTV digi image called Bunny Blooms and coloured him with copics.  I've added two tiny butterflies from a punch, twine and paper from stash.  The sentiment is from WPlus9 which I have layered with white and green.

I would like to enter:

Passion for Markers - Spring Flowers
Simon Says Weds - Anything Goes
Classic Design - AG or Blooms/Butterflies

That's it for now, short and sweet. Have a good day and thank you for your visit.

ADD RIBBON OR A BOW

Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts over at Allsorts today where Sarah is the host and the theme is "Add ribbon or a bow" as well as Anything Goes.


 
For my DT card I have used a LOTV image.  My niece received her first phone for Christmas so I thought it was an apt image for her.  I have coloured with copics and inked around the edges.  All papers are from old LOTV pads and flowers and pearls have been added for decoration.  The ribbon is in the form of a bow in the flowers and also a strip across the top of the darker purple strip, although it looks like card in the photo.  The sentiments are also from LOTV.

Prize of A5 stamp set, stencil and ribbons and £10 digital download from Polkadoodles

FAVOURITE COLOUR

 Morning Everyone,

A new challenge starts today at As You Like It and we would like to see a project using your favourite colour.



Blue has always been my favourite colour.  This has graduated to purples too, but I used blue for this card mainly because I found the image partly coloured in a folder recently with a blue hydrangea.  Not sure why it was there though, but best to get it used!

The cute little kitten is from Di's Digistamps and I have coloured with copics.  The large circle die is from Spellbinders and I've used old papers from stash to complete the card.  The sentiment is from a Penny Black set and I've made the two enamel type dots by adding  glossy accents to die cut circles.

The sponsor for the prize is:


Thank you for popping by and have a good day.
