I Love Promarkers DT Card - Shabby Chic

We have a new challenge for you today at I Love Promarkers, this time our theme is "Shabby Chic", and we're sponsored by Fabrika Fantasy, who very kindly gave the DT some images to play with.  I chose to use Winter Games 2, which I coloured with my Promarkers, using some Star Dust Stickles for a bit of glitter and some White Gloss Nuvo Drops for falling snow.

 The papers are from a Papermania pack called Pocket Full of Posies, I picked it up for a pound at the SECC show last October.  I scuffed all the edges with my Tim Holtz tool for a shabby look and added kraft card for matting.  The sentiment is from Craftwork Cards.
To embellish, I added some chunky silver snowflakes that have been in my stash since the year dot, and a few crystal gems.

Kitty Bee DT Spotlight - Basket of Love Bun

It's the third Wednesday of the month, so it's time for my Kitty Bee DT showcase project, which this time is an Easter card featuring the super cute Basket of Love Bun digi stamp from the Kitty Bee Etsy store.  I've coloured it with my Promarkers and fussy cut it so that it could be stuck to the card with dimensional glue.

 The patterned papers, bunting and flower dies are all from Trimcraft's Hoppy Easter range, I used a Spellbinders die to cut the label shape from pink card.  The sentiment was stamped with a stamp from a Hobby Craft set.  A trio of pearls was the final touch to my CAS card.

Cutie Pie DT Card - Simply Love

We have a new challenge for you today at Cutie Pie, this month our theme is "Simply Love", and we're sponsored by Sasayaki Glitter, who very kindly gave the DT some super cute image to play with.  I chose to use Love Mice, colouring them with my Promarkers.

 The papers are from a Lili of the Valley pad called Heartfelt, I inked all the edges with a Memento ink called Love Letters for definition.  I used the same ink to stamp the LOVE sentiment with a Hobby Craft stamp, I then cut it out with a Spellbinders die, glittered the heart with red Stickles, and, once dry, glazed it with Glossy Accents.  The verse was stamped with a Lili of the Valley stamp.
To embellish, I added blobs of Nuvo Drops in red, pearl, pink and clear, along with Star Dust Stickles, gems and die cut and punched hearts to give the effect of tumbling confetti.

Be My Valentine

Here's the card I made for my husband for Valentine's Day, I popped an iTunes voucher inside coz I'm romantic Like that!

 The patterned paper is from an elderly Papermania Dandelion and Daisy pack, I layered up with black card embossed  with a Cuttlebug heart design folder and a Papermania with tag that I stamped with a Hobby Craft Valentine's stamp in red ink.  I decorated the tag with a heart made with a Cuttlebug die cut and emboss set, using red holographic card, some ribbon and a twine threaded heart shaped ribbon.
The final touch was to add some blobs of black Nuvo Drops.

I Love Promarkers DT Card - CAS

It's challenge time again at I Love Promarkers, this time our theme is "Clean and Simple" and we're sponsored by the wonderful Dr Digi, who very kindly gave the DT some fun images to play with.  I decided to use a Dr Digi image from my own collection, called Duncan Disorderly, to make my husband's birthday card; he was into punk music back in the day, still loves it now but masquerades as a respectable primary school teacher by day!
I have, of course, used my Promarkers to colour the image.

 The safety pin border was stamped with a Personal Impressions stamp and the splatters were stamped in Barn Door and Weathered Wood Distress Inks using an Inkylicious stamp set.  The sentiment was computer generated.

Girly and Glam

An unashamedly girly card today, featuring a Papermania stamp set that I haven't used for ages and deserved an inking up.

 The dress, shoes and bag, and sentiment are all from the same Papermania Bellissima stamp set.  I coloured the images with Promarkers, stamped a section of the dress onto pink patterned vellum and sprayed it with Spray and Sparkle, then pieced it to the image, attaching it only at the top for some movement.  I then used some lovely Stix2 Anything glitter and micro bead mix to embellish the bodice, using Pinflair glue for glitter to hold it firmly in place.
The papers are from a Lili of the Valley pad called, appropriately enough, Little Dress Shoppe, to which I've added some white and kraft card for matting.
To embellish, I added some pretty organza ribbon with a matching double bow, some crystal gems, and a pink heart on the sentiment panel.

A Gem of a Challenge DT Card - Add a Butterfly

We have a new challenge for you today at A Gem of a Challenge, this fortnight our theme is "Add a Butterfly".  You can add one or loads, it's up to you, as long as we can see at least one butterfly on your project.
I decided to make a start on my Easter cards with my DT card, using the super cute Bunny With Carrots from the Pink Gem store on my card.  I coloured him with my Promarkers and added some colourful punched butterflies to the garden scene.

The papers, patterned and plain, apart from the dark blue and green, are from Dovecraft's Hoppy Easter range, the sentiment die and flower dies are from that range too; the flowers match the blooms on the paper exactly.  The foliage was cut with a Crafter's Companion die and the little garden tools were made with First Edition dies.

The final touch was to add some light blue pearls to the corners.
