3 Cactus


I used a Pattie's Creations image for this card - "3 cactus in pots."


 I used my alcohol markers to colour the 3 images and
fussy-cut around each one, so I could pop them into a group. 
The middle cactus is on 3D foam, so it stands proud of the other two.
The sentiment is from a stamp from Kaisercrafts
and the papers have been in my stash a looong time!

Sister birthday

I used one of Pattie's new images, called 
"Denim Pockets" from Pattie's Creations...


 It's a great little set of two pockets. One plain. The other has a little flower design to the right.
I used both on top of each other for this card.
My sister is denim-mad, 
so thought this image would be perfect for her.
I added the pretty flowery paper as it works so well with the denim, 
and gives a real girly feel to the card.

The words were stamped and the butterflies were punched. 
I enjoyed colouring the pockets with distress inks and a blending tool 
instead of my 'normal' - colouring with alcohol pens.
I feel that the distress inks gives a good denim look.

Guest designer cards

I was invited to be a Guest Designer over at the C.R.A.F.T Challenge. 

I had the pleasure of using 2 of Beccy's images from Beccy's Place..


The first card I made uses an image and sentiment from her
"Home for the holidays" set. I coloured the image with my alcohol pens and even used
 glitter to colour the bow and the little berries. 

The sentiment also comes in the set. I handwrote "husband"
and added the diecut cats, which I coloured to look like our two.
The heart on a bow was die-cut, as were the stars around the image.

This second card uses a freebie image from Beccy's Place. 
Under the Christmas section, I found this very lovely bauble...


I coloured it using my alcohol pens and a stamped sentiment.
A embossed the edges of the card base and added a slice of leftover paper
behind the image. The bauble hangs from a little glittered line and a few
hand-drawn stars finished off the card. 
I wanted to keep this clean and simple.

Holiday mittens

 I used an old Patties Creations image to create this card...


There is so much sparkle on it, but it doesn't show very well on the photo.

The gold ribbon and the fluffy part of the mittens have been glittered 
with ultra-fine glitter, as well as 
the embossed snowflakes in the background.

I coloured the mittens with my alcohol markers
and added patterns on with my white sakura pen.
A simple line of glamour dust around the edge of the card finished it,
 along with the computer generated sentiment.

A Christmas gnome / gonk

I made a Christmas card for my sister and her family
in our "anything goes challenge" this week at Pattie's Creations.
I used her image: "Reindeer the gnome"


 My sister is really into gonks at the minute and this is so gonk-like,
I think she will like it. 
I coloured him with my alcohol pens and fussy-cut around him carefully.
I added some glamour dust to the bob on his hat and the snowflake he's holding. 
The paper is from an old DCWV stack and the sentiment was in a clear set, 
gifted to me by a friend recently. 
The holly, berries and snowflake under the sentiment are all diecuts. with 
liquid pearls added to each of the snowflakes.

I would like to enter this into the following challneges -

A warm Christmas

I chose the lovely image: Holiday Mittens
from Patties Creations this month, for her "anything goes" challenge....


 I used some papers I found in The Works
and distressed the edges with distress inks. 
I coloured the image with my alcohol pens and also
I used glamour dust to "colour" the bow.
It is really sparkly in real life!
I fussy cut the image and popped it onto 3D foam to give some depth.
The sentiment was stamped, from a new set my friend bought me.

First Christmas card

I was thrilled to be asked to be a guest designer for the fabulous...


I have been working with the set called Sugar n Spice. 
The great thing about this set, is that you get a really good bundle! 
Images to colour, ready-coloured images, sentiments...everything you need! 
This first card, I made with the uncoloured image -
I really enjoyed colouring this one myself! 


I coloured the image with my promarkers and other alcohol pens,
and used the sentiment I think my mum would love. 
(This card will be my Mum and Dad's Christmas card - my Mum loves to bake,
especially at Christmas)
All this image really needed, was a paper behind, to set it off. 
I inked the edges and drew on some faux-stitching. 
I also dry embossed a simple line around the edge of the white card.
A simple die-cut snowflake, underneath the sentiment, finished this card.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:



I made a second card with this bundle, as I wanted to use a pre-coloured image too. 
One of my friends, who lives in Canada, loves baking too.
This will be on it's way to her soon!
I coloured the image with my promarkers and other alcohol pens
and used a different sentiment from the bundle.
