The cheerful stripey backing paper is from Making Memories and I used a Hero Arts Background stamp behind the bunny.
The orange pearlescent card is from Payper box. I coloured my bunny with Promarkers. The linen paper gave a mottly look which I think looks a bit like fur. The little star I topped with a button is from Paperchase. As a finishing touch, I added glossy accents to the carrots and the bunny nose.
I made this little card to pop in a little Birthday parcel for a friend. The pearlescent card is from Rymans, the patterned paper is printed from the latest Funky Hand cd. Ribbon and bling from my stash and the sentiment is Hero Arts.
There were some of the regular stalls that are at Farnborough and Ally Pally but I found that they were selling the same old stash. I did like the Craft Fairy stall and bought a few packs of flowers and ribbons.
There was lots of American Crafts and the Dear Lizzy Range, lovely stamps ....
......gorgeous scrummy papers....I treated myself to some of these!
Shimelle doesn't have a shop or sell online, such a shame as she has impeccable taste! I would buy everything!
These gorgeous buttons were on The Eternal Maker stand, it was a pick and mix, I loved the bright colours.
Lots of paper,cardstock, flowers and buttons.
I wanted to share a New Home card with you I made a few days ago. I used an image from Jane's Doodles and coloured it to match my Ribbon with my Promarkers. I then layered it on to some Elzybells cardstock and added a sentiment which I tucked under an Elzybells button.
I received a card commission to make a card with some spotty monsters on it and knew these coordinating papers from the Funky Hand, Funky Daze CD would be perfect. I printed the papers onto linen card, then printed the monsters onto the card. I cut a piece to fit the front of the card and inked the edges before sticking it on.
I printed each monster twice onto white card, one copy was used for paper piecing and the other was cut up for the eyes and cute little monster teeth. I cut out the monsters into little squares and inked the edges before layering up my little monsters. I coloured the detail with my Promarkers.
The sentiment is by Hero Arts, I think their sentiment sets are unbeatable, so versatile and always lovely fonts. The sentiment was stamped on to a Spellbinders tag shape through which I threaded a lovely lilac gingham ribbon. The gems are by Papermania and Kanban.
Not so sure about my colouring this week, I have been experimenting with a new linen card and my Promarkers and it is not as nice to use as the canvas textured card I had got used to.
I decorated the inside of the box with a cute little crown which is also from Willow designs.
The sentiment stamp I decorated the bottom of the box with is from the Everyday sentiments set by Elzybells. The gems are Papermania and the flowers are Hero Arts.
We have a sponsor for this Challenge, Wink Wink stamps is offering 3 digi stamps to our lucky winner.
I hope you will be able to join us for this Challenge. Make sure you check out the rest of the DT's blogs for more inspiration. The links to their lovely blogs are in my sidebar.
I bought some new photo paper at Tesco to try with my Promarkers and got mixed results. The memento ink bled a bit on it so I am going to have to try it with my printer and some digi images. I am so used to colouring on textured card, I am not really sure if these look ok. I added some glitter glue to them for a bit of added texture.
So, there you go, I've showed you mine so why not show us yours! If you want to see more desks and fancy showing yours off too, please pop on over to the lovely Julia's blog and join in the fun, be warned though, it's addictive!
I printed Codi on to linen cardstock and coloured her with my Promarkers. I added faux stitching around both the layers and wrapped black string around the top layer before putting them together.
The little flower is by Making Memories and the button is from my stash. The sentiment was printed on my PC using a font I downloaded from Two Peas.
I coloured Alice and the Mushrooms with my Promarkers. I am going to colour her in brighter strong colours next time but I think she looks cute in pastels too.
I tucked a Prima flower behind the mushrooms to look like grass. The organza ribbon I used is from my stash and the butterfly is from John Lewis.
Here is the lovely sketch by Jacque which was a nice simple one to follow and one I am sure I will use again.
The sketch was really lovely to work with. I used red and aqua plain card and embossed my DCWV aqua strips with a star embossing folder. The spotty paper is by Making Memories and the buttons are from my stash.
Here is a close up of the little Mad-Hatter, I think he looks really cheeky! I love his little stripy trousers too.
I printed Boris 3 times, coloured him in and then decoupaged him. I couldn't resist giving him a glittery pale pink nose. I kept the card simple adding some organza ribbon, a pale pink flower button and some pearls. The sentiment was printed on my PC. All the colouring was done with my Promarkers.
For my second card, I made a 3d Pyramid by covering a precut blank with some gorgeous My little Shoebox cloud paper. I love cloud paper and this one is gorgeous and was very hard for me to cut up! I am treasuring every scrap and I still have one complete sheet to look (don't know if I will be able to bring myself to use it for some time!) I added some 'grass' cut with a Martha stewart punch and tucked the Coloured in Daffodils behind it. I added a strip of ribbon to the bottom edge and some gems, a box and an Elzybells stamped sentiment cut out with a Nesties die.
I made a little box and tag to match with some of the scraps. The pillow box was cut with a Sizzix die. The great thing about digi stamps is that they can be resized and this time I printed the Daffodils quite small to add to the tag.
Last photo, I promise! Card and tag together. I am going to fill the box with something yummy to give to someone this Easter.
At the beginning of this very long post, I promised you some digi blog candy....Jane has very generously given each of the Design Team a digi image to give away. To be in with a chance of winning one of these images, please leave a comment on this post and I will draw a winner on Sunday.
I made a topper by printing the egg on to lilac, orange spotted and blue card then cut out the different pieces of the egg adding glossy accents to the ribbon and gems.
I follow Carol's unusual sketch on her Challenge blog this fortnight, the sketch is quite simple and uncluttered so I thought I would team Audrey with some lovely glittered stripey card from the Citrus DCWV stack. The ribbon and buttons are both by Papermania.
I really love colouring in TGF images, I gave Audrey a Mango hat and Bright Green T-shirt. I added some glittery Sakura pen to her necklace and I am really pleased with the colouring of her jeans!
This week, it was all about the colouring and I had lots of fun with my Promarkers creating a bright and colourful card to match Sharon's papers.
As a finishing touch, I added a sentiment from Hero Arts stamped on to a Stampin up tab shape and some lovely flowers from Prima. The felt ribbon was from Quixotic Paperie and gives a real Springtime feel to the card.
I hope you will be able to join us for this week's Challenge. I would love to see what you do with Rosie's sketch. Make sure you pop over to the Willow Sketchie blog for all the details and to see the rest of the DT's fab creations. If you enter the Challenge you could win a Willow Designs download!
I coloured the cute little image with my Promarkers. I am really enjoying using these Pure Innocence images. I seem to have gone digi image crazy lately. There is so much choice out there! I treated myself to the Alice in Wonderland digi set from The Greeting Farm yesterday and can't wait to print them and get colouring :-)
The little Easter sentiment was stamped using the Elzybells everyday greetings set. This set is so handy for every occasion!
I filled the basket with lots of yummy Chocolae eggs and some shredded tissue paper.
I hope you enjoy having a little nose around my Workdesk. If you want to see more desks and share yours with us, pop on over to Julia's blog for a look at hers and many more interesting Workspaces.
The image is a Heather Ellis Pure Innocence Digi. I have three of these now. They are so cute! The Spotty paper is from Inspire me, the ribbon is Papermania as are the gems and the Die cut shapes are all Spellbinders. As the little cutie on my card is going 'Back to Nature' with her little watering can surrounded by Butterflies I am entering this card in to the Passion for Promarkers Challenge which is 'Back to Nature', I am also entering it into the Die Cut Dreams Challenge which forbids you from using Flowers and last but not least I am entering it into the I love Promarkers Challenge which asks for a Shaped card.
Boris is toooo cute with that glittery nose! Adorable.
