Another Mother's Day Card

Hello everyone, good afternoon. I'm still so busy busy but even busier now with some card orders for Mother's Day  .. Luckily for me yesterday, hubby had quite a few football games to watch on telly so he didn't want to go out.. sunny and nice day as it was.. not like today, very cloudy!! Anyway, I thought I would make a quick post and show you one of the Mother's Day cards that I did.  

For this card I used again the MUM large clear stamp from Woodware which I had got from NEC in March. I inked it with one of my Tim Holtz Distress Inks. For a change I did the background myself this time, using my Tim Holtz distress inks and a clear stamp set that I had won from Cebelica's candy some time ago. The large flower and butterflies were also in this set and I coloured these with my promarkers. I loved how it turned out, it's good to try something different sometimes.

Now this is the same card.. Can't understand how the colours came so different!!

Mother's Day

Good morning, it's another nice warm sunny day here in Malta and I'm here today with my DT card for the new challenge at One Stitch At A Time. This time the theme is MOTHER'S DAY in honour of Mother's Day next Sunday. For my card I got to use the Seasons Of Our Lives paper pack from Panda Bear Designs and this is what I did.

I found the main sentiment on the internet, the corner dies are Cheery Lynn and leaves punch is Martha Stewart.

The prize for the winner this week is the collab set of images that all the DT girls have used for their cards this week. This set is also available FREE if you spend $7 from the store.

Some challenges.

Fairies

Hello good morning everyone. It's back to work today and as I was saying yesterday, today I have two posts as well... but this, just for the month of May only.. of course wouldn't mind if it were for more than one month he he .. check out my next post and you'll see why :D..

So first up is my DT card for the new challenge at

I ♥ Promarkers

The theme for this week is

FAIRIES

Such a fun and easy theme I think, loved it and was also a great opportunity for me to use again this cheeky fairy from Kraftin Kimmie Stamps. I had so much fun colouring her with my promarkers and then I added stickles to finish her off. 

For my card today I used a gorgeous hearts border die from Crafty Sentiments, LOTV sentiment, Martha Stewart leaf punch, magazine freebie papers and a Marianne Creatables die behind the fairy. Can you see all the texture on this? and on the leaves and papers as well? Check out my TIP here to see how I did it!! .. and don't forget to leave me a comment if you like my tip. Thank you :D

We are this week sponsored by the fabulous Joanna Sheen and winner gets £10 voucher from the store.

Spots or Stripes

I'm back...  with my DT card now for the new challenge at Crafty Sentiments. The theme for this week is Spots or Stripes.. such a fun challenge I think... I loved it and I could use some new papers that I had bought from the NEC in March.

The gorgeous image that I used is Garden Flowers from the last Spring Release and I coloured it with my promarkers. If you would like to know how I did the texture on the main image, as I had used plain white card, just check out my TIP here.

As from this week there has been some changes at Crafty Sentiments and so we are now two teams, which means that I'll now be having a DT card for Crafty Sentiments every fortnightly. .. but of course the Challenge will still be weekly. The prize for the winner this week is 3 digis from the store and remember if you use a CS image you have an extra chance of winning another digi.

Anything Goes

Hello, good morning, 1st of May today, a public holiday yay :D We decided to go for a picnic with friends as it's such a nice day.... prepared a nice chicken pie and now I'm going to lazy in the sun all day long ha ha .. or better not as I'll get sunburt :/

So better get my posts done before I go as today it's the day when I have two posts in a day. Well, from now on it'll be fortnightly but for this month only I'll be having two posts on Wednesdays as well .. something exciting happening for me tomorrow woot woot :D check it out tomorrow.

Ok so my first DT card for today is for the new challenge starting at Emerald Fairies.

The theme is ANYTHING GOES

I decided to use this sweet image of Boo & Snookie and I coloured it with my promarkers. Papers were magazine freebies, but I also stamped randomly some leaves with Tim Holtz distress inks. 

Quite a quick card today, this is one of the cards that I did after hubby's injury, so had to be quick, although I really liked how it turned out still... and as for the colouring, well I did that in the car while waiting for son to finish football. I thought it would be a waste of time to take him, go home and go back for him if the football takes only 1.5 hours!!! .. anyway, five more weeks and hubby's hand will have healed and everything will be back to normal!! .. can't wait :)

So some challenges now
