Things with wings

Hi Crafters,

This weeks' challenge over at Passion for Promarkers is 'Things with Wings'  and our sponsor is Bugaboo Stamps, who are offering the lucky winner a $21.00 voucher to spend in their store.

                                                       

I decided to use 'Silver Fairy' by Whimsy Stamps and it's a lovely image to colour. I've used a great layout that we used at our last workshop and embossed all the different layers with various folders.  

I inked all the edges with Tim Holtz 'Antique Linen' and added lots of stickles to the wings!

I wanted the fairy to stand out so I didn't want to use any backing papers on this card.  A little bit of ribbon, pearls and buttons finished it off and I stamped the text for a change instead of using the computer.  I think I might do this a bit more, for the text and for the inserts inside - be nice to use some more stamps!

It would be great if you could join in with the challenge and don't forget to say which Letraset products you've used.  There are some great samples from the Design Team on the blog as well.

I've also got some pics to show you of my brilliant new ribbon storage.  I'd seen something similar on Pinterest and showed the ideas to my Dad and guess what, he made some for me!!

I'm so chuffed with them and I couldn't wait to fill them lol.  I've kept similar colours together and they now take pride of place on my Craft table!  I'll be putting ribbon on all my cards from now on as they'll no longer be in a tangled mess in my basket!!

Anyway, I hope you all have a great week and I'll be back again soon!

Hugs, Karen xx

4 Legged Friends

Good morning crafters!

I'm back with my card for this week's challenge at Passion for Promarkers which is '4 Legged Friends'.
Our sponsor this week is A Day for Daisies and they are offering the lucky winner a $12.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

                                                                               

I've used one of their gorgeous images called 'Hello baby giraffe' and he is so cute!  It was such a lovely image to colour in and I even found some papers that looked like the colours of a giraffe!!

I tried to make it a CAS card but then I thought it needed some ribbon, then I added some flowers and before I knew it, it wasn't a CAS card any more -   I just can't do it!  Oh well, I tried!
I used one of Sue Wilson's gorgeous embossing folders called 'Ditsy Daisy' and the wavy border die is by Spellbinders.  A bit of glitter and pearls finished it off!!  Went the whole hog in the end didn't I?
Must try harder next time - I will make a CAS card soon!
Why not have a go and join in with this challenge, just remember to say which Letraset product you've used on your creation.
I'd also like to enter my card in the 'Anything Goes' challenge at Crafting from the Heart
and the 'Add Glitter' challenge at A Day for Daisies dropping by and I'll see you soon,
Hugs, Karen xx

Spring has Sprung!

Hi crafters,

I'm back with a card for this week's Passion for Promarkers challenge which is 'Spring has Sprung'.
We have two prizes on offer this week.  Michele R Designs are offering one lucky winner a £10 voucher to spend in their online store and Letraset are offering a set of Aquamarkers for another lucky winner!

              

I've used a gorgeous image by Sylvia Zet on my card which I've coloured with my Promarkers. It's a lovely image to colour with all the lovely Spring flowers. The papers are from Michele R Designs called 'Cottage Garden' and they are absolutely gorgeous.

I've been inspired lately with all the paper flowers people are making so I decided to have a go!  I used the same backing papers to make these flowers to match and added a pink pearl to the centres.
A bit of organza ribbon, some glitter (of course) and a few more pearls finished off the card.
So why not join in with this week's challenge and don't forget to say what Letraset products you've used on your creation.
Thanks for looking and I'll be back again soon!
Hugs, Karen xx

Challenge 336

Hi crafters,
It's a new week over at Passion for Promarkers and the new challenge is 'Little Critters'.  We are sponsored this week by Digi Stamp Boutique and they are offering the lucky winner a £10.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

This is a Welsh card I made for my Mother-in-law for Mother's Day!

I've used one of my favourite LOTV stamps and I've coloured it in with my promarkers.  I've added some glossy accents to the jam jar to make it look like glass and plenty of glitter on the Icing Sugar!!  The cute little spoons are a die from 'Joy Crafts' and I've been wanting to use them for ages!!
I inked all the edges of the papers with 'Antique Linen' distress ink and some pearls and ribbon finished it off.
I hope you can join in with this challenge and don't forget to say what Letraset products you've used on your creation!
Thanks for dropping by and good luck!
Hugs, Karen xx

Passion for Promarkers Challenge 334

Hi Crafters,
Here's my card for the new challenge at Passion for Promarkers and Sue has chosen this week's theme which is 'Dies and/or punches'.  Our generous sponsor this week is 'Dies to Die for' and the prize on offer is a £15.00 voucher to spend in the online store.
.

I've made a Welsh baby boy card which had to go in the post so needed to be quite flat - still couldn't help adding pearls and buttons though!!
I've used my favourite  New Baby stamp by 'Magnolia' which I've coloured using my promarkers and I've added a touch of glitter here and there (of course)!!
I've used various dies on this card and also punched my own flowers out of the same background papers.  I've also used an embossing folder behind the image which I think looks cute on baby cards!

I hope they liked it - it might be a nice keepsake for them with it being personalised and hopefully it survived being put in the post!!
So why not get your dies and punches out and join in with this week's challenge and don't forget to say what Letraset product you've used on your creation.
Good luck and I'll be back soon!
Hugs, Karen xx

I've used a really cute digi from 'Little Miss Muffet Stamps called 'Bunny Sitting'

It was such a lovely image to colour in and I've also added glossy accents to the eyes and nose which makes such a difference!  The papers are from Maja Designs, I've added plenty of WOC flowers and added glitter to the punched leaves.  Some hearts here and there and some matching buttons finish it off!
Here is a close up of the cute bunny!

An 18th Birthday celebration!

Sorry it's been so long since my last post,  don't know where the time has gone!
Anyway,  I'm back with a card I made for an 18th Birthday.  I coloured in this Saturated canary image with my promarkers and it took me ages to get the hair right lol!

I cut the card with a Go Kreate die,  and added some WOC flowers and a few more die cuts! I added glossy accent to the wine glass and tied a corkscrew charm in the corner!
I'd like to enter my card in the Passion for Promarkers
