April Showers

Good Morning,

Where has the time gone I can't believe its April already & for once the sun is shining but this is the UK so I'm sat patiently awaiting the rain. With that it brings me nicely onto today's challenge at Charisma Cardz & the theme is April Showers. I have used a super cute image from our brilliant sponsor Bugaboo stamps called Deacon rain, I have coloured him up using Pro Markers & i have added some glitter to the rain drops & puddle.

 

The clouds have been cut using my Silhouette Cameo & the bow has been made using an envelope maker (I learnt how to do this at the NEC show)

All of the papers are from Lili of the valley's Father Knows Best paper pad. I love all of their paper pads & have to admit that i am running out of room for them all.

Now pop on over to the Charisma cardz challenge blog & see what the rest of the DT have come up with & join.

Hope you have a fab day

I is for In a Line

Good Morning,

 

It's the 1st April (April Fools) and that means it's time for a new challenge at The ABC Challenge. This week its 'I is for In a Line' below is a grid all we want you to do is pick 3 elements but they need to be in a line either vertically, diagonally or horizontally.

I have gone for diagonally so I have added Pearls, Lace & Flowers, the image is from our fab sponsor Sherri Baldy and she is called Cherry Blossom Geisha.

 

I have coloured her in using Pro Markers & it's the first time I have tried black hair & i do think it has come out rather well. The papers are from a magazine that my Mum buys but they just fitted perfectly with the image.

Birthday Girls at Charisma Cardz

 

Good Morning Everyone,

 

It's challenge time again over at Chrisma Cardz & this fortnight the theme is 'Birthday Girls' so super easy. I have made my card using a digi from one of our sponsors The Stamping Chef & she is called Fairy Nuff such a lovely image to colour.

I have  coloured her hair & wings with Copic & her skin & outfit with Pro Markers. I have added some glamour dust to her wings as she's a fairy i thought she should have some sparkle. I've gone for the CAS style with this card as I thought all the focus should be on her.

 

 

 

 I do love how her hair came out :-)
