Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - In the Jungle, using the very sweet digital stamp Hang in there little monkey from the Too Cute collection, to make a get well card.

This is a DL card, created with a panel of green cardstock, I have used the stencil to create a leafy background.  Next using a dark green card I have die cut the inlay panel and then adhered this over the top of the stencilling to create the look of the jungle.

The sweet monkey was resized for the card, coloured with my promarkers and fussy cut out before adding to the card along with a sentiment from one of the other too cute sets. 

I de cut a few extra leaves and after adding ink to the centres, adhered these over the leafy frame.

Just a few sequins where added around the design to complete todays card.

I really hope that you like my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the I Love Markers blog

Christmas in July - Caroling Snowman with Paper Nest Dolls

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Sunday! I hope that you are having a lovely weekend. 

I'm on my blog today with another Christmas in July card and this today I've used an image that I previously coloured with alcohol markers but again I've reached for my coloured pencils to colour a gorgeous image called Caroling Snowman by Paper Nest Dolls

This is an A7 or  5" x 7"  card created with a simple mat layer of black card.  

I started off by resizing the sweet image and printing out onto Neenah Desert Storm cardstock, before using my Spectrum Noir pencils to colour the image.

For my wintery scene I have blended distress inks around the background to create a nighttime sky.  I used a hillside stencil and some white dye based ink at the bottom of the panel for my snow scene and then to finish of the card I splattered white pearlescent paint for the snow.

I added white gel pen highlights here and there to finish off my card for today.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my  card for today and will drop by again to see my next project.

Hasta luego 👋 

Enjoy the rest of your day !

I Love Promarkers #552 - Easter - Sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls

 Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! 

I'm on my blog today for the new bi-weekly I Love Promarkers blog challenge , it would be wonderful if you joined us over there if you love to colour with alcohol markers and don't forget there are prizes up for grabs.  

You can find all of the rules and details for the challenge over on the blog. 

This challenge is being sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Easter, using the super cute Bunny Wagon digital stamp.  

I don't tend to make many Easter cards, but I thought this image was so sweet and perfect to send to family in the UK....I've kept this a simply card without lots of layers but there is still dimension, bearing in mind postage costs.

Todays card is a 5" x 7" using a Kraft card blank for the base.  I added a layer of a sweet check paper to this and the image was resized and printed out to suit before colouring with promarkers and added with another layer of Kraft card.

I used a couple of stencils to create the background using distress inks and I added a die cut sunshine into the top corner.

I added little flicks of grass around the girl and the bunny wagon, this helps to ground the design so they are not floating in mid air.

 

The sentiment has been foiled using a gold foil which gives a super shiny look and I added a small disc of gold glitter card to the sunshine to tie in with the sentiment.

I really hope that you like my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the I Love Markers blog

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Add a Banner, using a gorgeous image called Caroling Snowman.  

I love making Clean and Simple cards and today I think is a lovely example - never easy knowing when to stop but I think I'm getting better at it.

For today's  5" x 7" landscape card I have started by die cutting a panel of green glitter cardstock to leave a large border on a Kraft craft card blank 

The Snowman family image was resized to suit this panel and then printed out onto alcohol marker friendly card before printing out.

I used pink and blue distress ink to gently blend over the sky of the scene, adding white acrylic paint dots for the snow and then adhering this panel to my card.

I used a stamp and die set to create the banner for the bottom of the card, using a blue pearl embossing powder to match the colour palette of my design.

To finish off the card I have added some clear iridescent sequins and clear glitter to my snowmen.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my clean and simple card for today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the I Love Markers blog as there are prizes up for grabs.

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Lavender & Lace, using a gorgeous image called Ellie with Candle.  Isn't she so sweet.  

I don't make as many cards with lots of layers and lace these days but it was fun to combine my colouring with a different and very pretty look for a change

For today's  6" x 6" card I have started by adhering some of my lavender paper from my stash to the card blank to completely cover it.  Next I die cut a fancy lacey border in a different lavender/lilac paper and then added a strip of lace to this, before adhering to my card.

I added a small paper doily ad I think this carries on the them of lace and added a vellum heart which I had embossed to the centre.

I splattered the entire piece with silver sparkle and purple watercolour paint before adding my coloured image of Ellie, a sentiment and some purple card candii to the top corner.

Glossy accents were added to the candii to make it look like enamel dots and for the finishing touch some clear sparkle pen over Ellie's dress which I hope you can see on this photo.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my sweet Lavender & Lace card for today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the I Love Markers blog

I Love Promarkers #536 Inspired by a Film

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! I hope that you are having a lovely week and the weather is being kind to you.  

We have had loads of wonderful rain over the past couple of weeks and the garden is looking so much greener and full of life now.  Its such a relief after so many months of not a drop.

I'm on my blog today for the new bi-weekly I Love Promarkers blog challenge , it would be wonderful if you joined us over there if you love to colour with  alcohol markers and don't forget there are prizes up for grabs.  

You can find all of the rules and details for the challenge over on the blog. 

This challenge is being sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Inspired by a Film, using a fun image called Boy Wizard.  Does he remind you of anyone?  

I definitely don't make enough boy/man cards so I decided to use this image to create a card for my son's birthday in July.  When he was younger he definitely had a look of Harry Potter about him, so I thought this would be a perfect card for him.

For today's  A6 (UK size) card I have resized the image and added a sentiment in my graphics software before printing out onto alcohol marker friendly card.

The image was coloured using my Promarkers (see below for colours used) and then I have used a funky stencil with distress ink to create the background. I thought that the swooshing of the stencil looks like its magic exploding out of his wand.

The finishing touches for my card today are some fragments of glitter around the magical wand and a touch of glitter pen.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my magical Inspired by a Film card for today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the I Love Markers blog

I Love Promarkers DT - Challenge #531 - Beside the Sea

Hello everyone wishing you a wonderful Wednesday! I hope that you are having a lovely week.

I'm back on my blog today with the I Love Promarkers blog challenge  which is bi-weekly and it would be wonderful if you joined us, there are prizes up for grabs too.  

You can find all of the rules and details for the challenge over on the blog. 

This challenge is being sponsored by Paper Nest Dolls  and there are some beautiful images available in digital format and they sell real rubber stamps too, which are all hand drawn and based on their 6 children.

Here is my inspiration card for the blog challenge with the theme of Beside the Sea, using a gorgeous image called Sand Castle Ellie

I decided to create a beach scene for my card, making a 5" x7" faux stepper from a bright blue and yellow cardstock.

I love this style of card as it gives lots of room to create a scene for the focal image and is really easy to create.

I have added some small shells at the bottom of the card that I've had for many years, collected from a beach on holiday in Cuba.

To create the grasses, I've used a stamp and co-ordinating Thyme sprigs as I think they look a little like grasses you can find at the beach.

I really hope that you have enjoyed my card today and will drop by again to see my next project and don't forget to join in with the challenge over on the I Love Markers blog
