My Make for the Gerda Steiner Progressive Challenge for July 2017

I die cut the card base using a die from a Spellbinders set,

making sure that the die didnt slip so I had a fold. I also die cut two of

the smaller dies from the same set so I had a colour between the two white

cards, this was so the alternative colour would compliment 

the strawberry printed ribbon & bow..  

I had coloured the cute image using my tinned set of watercolour pencils

which I think gives the image a soft edge that I prefer.

Hiya peeps

Its time for the next challenge for

Rick St Dennis

Challenge 3, Anything Goes/Hat Trick

on the Sparkle and Glitter Blog, (Link above)

My project for this challenge uses an image from, the front cover of

one of Ricks beautiful colouring books, which are available from Amazon.com

and its called: Chapeaux a la mode: ladies hats from 1890 to 2015

There are loads of Rick's adult colouring books available on Amazon as

well as loads, over 1000 images available on the Zibbet website HERE.

I used a pre cut card blank & added 2 die cut toppers from my own

stash. In fact all of the items used were from my stash. 

(Im trying not to buy anymore craft stuff as I have way too much

stock as it is. I did succumb to the Amazon Prime sale day though).

I hope you join in with the new challenge.

Hiya peeps,

This post/card is for this month's blog challenge for
Not Just Cards

Our fabulous sponsor for this challenge is Aurella
 and the digi image, that I was generously given 
by the artist, is called Karmina.


I coloured her in using my set of watercolour pencil crayons.
All of the items used to make this card are from my own stash.
I did use Stickles glitter glue on the mask and down the striped
handle. The size of the card is 8 inches square.

I hope you like both my card and will join in with our challenge

Tulip & Bugs, June 2017

Hiya peeps 

Today''s make is a basic A5 rectangle card using an A4 piece of

smooth finish white card from Papermill Direct which is a paper & card 

manufacturer in the Lake District.  

The image that I coloured using my set of WH Smith water colour pencil 

crayons. i was following blog challenge themes of  "Rectangle" and a game of "Bingo" using "Ribbon/Die & Sentiment", plus loads of other  challenges.

I also used Stickles glue, in "Candy Cane" red on the Butterfly and Tonic Studio

"Nuyo" Glitter Accents on the wing tips. The coloured image is then glued, using a liquid glue so it lays flat against the turquoise/white diagonal stripped mini scalloped die cut rectangle card. I then sellotaped a piece of navy blue mini gingham checked ribbon on the back of the semi gloss mirri card 

so that it sits across the width. That large piece of semi gloss mirri card was then glued to the white base card using silicone glue gel drops so it sat a 

small distance away & then glued the topper on the card base.

The final touches were to glue the hand tied ribbon bow, the small round sentiment

and the single ladybug on to the various parts of the decorated card.

An apology plus my first make in 4 months

Hiya peeps

Im so sorry that Ive not been on here showing off my makes, both DT
& my own designs for challenges. The reason for the lack of work is
that I was in hospital for almost 7 weeks!!
Its a long story so I wont go into details as it would only bore you.

What I have made is a tent fold card with a design by Gerda Steiner
called Hello Friend Turtle and I coloured him using water colour pencils.
The ribbon  is from my own stash & I apologize as I can't remember
where I  brought it from. The dies, doily is from Marianne Designs,
and the mini scalloped rectangle die is from Tonic Studios.

I wish to enter this card into the following challenges:

Gerda Steiner Progressive Challenge for June
