Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Gnomes, using a sweet digital stamp from the set Gnome Friends in the garden

I decided for todays card I would make a new fun fold - this is a very simple  diamond gate fold card which I have created using an aqua cardstock.  The lovely papers are from a new Polkadoodles bundle Gnome feeding bird

It's a sweet and very easy card fold that fits into a standard C6 envelope when flat but also gives lots of space for using those lovely patterned papers.

For the main gnome image I resized this to suit my card size before printing out on alcohol marker friendly card stock and then colouring using Promarkers (see below for colours) and then fussy cutting out.

I added one of the sweet sentiments from the Polkadoodles Gnome set on the inside panel and printed another sentiment for the front of the card.

The finishing touches today were some clear sparkle pen on the snail shell, white gelly roll pen highlights and flowers and a scattering of tel confetti around the design.

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

Hasta luego 👋

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - My Best Friend, using the very sweet digital stamp Playing Around from the Noodle Panda Collection

This is a simple 5" x 5"  circular card  - I started by cutting out my circular base card using a torn edge circle die from Lisa Horton Crafts.

I chose two of the lovely coordinating papers and die cut these with the circle dies, adding them to my base card.

I resized the pandas and printed the image out onto alcohol marker friendly card before colouring with my promarkers (see below for the colours), using colours from the papers to coordinate with my design.

Next I added Noodle and her best friend to the card using low profile foam tape and a sentiment from the collection, on an angle to top left of the card.

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

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - a masculine card, using the very beautiful Birthday Cocktail digital stamp .  

When I'm making masculine cards I always think is it something I would make for my hubby, definitely no frou frou !

He definitely likes cocktails so my card today is inspired by a new cocktail that we've found called a Bikini Martini which is a layered cocktail containing coconut rum, vodka, pineapple juice and grenadine.

Todays card is a simple A6 (UK Size) portrait card with a mat layer of gold mirri cardstock.  The focal image was resized to suit my design and I added a digital sentiment at the bottom of the panel before printing out on alcohol marker friendly card stock.  

Next I coloured the image with Promarkers (see below for colours) and then for extra shine I used my Minc machine to apply gold foil over the top of the image, it gives it such a beautiful finish and doesn't really need much else.

I decided though to add a little grey ink as a shadow below the glass and then used a new stencil with a couple of distress inks for some celebratory confetti in the background.

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

The team is having a well earned break now but we'll be back on the 7th August with our next challenge.

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Use pink, blue & yellow, so the primary colours, using this very sweet digital stamp of this sleepy little bee in the flower.  This is Sleepy time Buzlee

Its such a sweet card and perfect for the chosen colour palette.  This is an A7 or 5" x 7" card and I started by resizing the digital image and adding a sentiment to the bottom of the panel before printing out and colouring with 

promarkers (see below for colours).  

Next I used some distress ink and a cloud stencil to create a simple background.  

I used a scalloped die to cut a frame from pink card stock and then assembled my card, matting the design panel on a panel of sky blue card.  

To add dimension I used foam square to adhere the scalloped frame.

The finishing touches were white, gelly roll pen highlights, clear sparkle to the little bee's wings and some clear iridescent sequins around the design.

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - Tropical Vibes, using the super cute Noodle Panda digital stamp from the Noodle Panda collection, this is Beach Inflatable Flamingo. 

I wanted to create a tropical beach scene for my cute panda so I have used one of the fabulous digi deals Beach Scene for my background. 

I started by resizing this to fit a larger 5" x 7" card blank and added a digital sentiment from the Winnie Starfish Sandcastles collection at the bottom left corner.

I printed out the panel onto alcohol friendly card stock and carefully blended distress inks across this to create my waves, sandy beach and the sky, using a lighter hand across the images themselves. 

Next I used promarkers to colour the images - this works really well as long as you choose colours that will disguise the distress ink below.

I used a white gelly roll pen to create foam on the edges of the waves I then resized Noodle, making her larger to fit at the bottom of the card, this helps to give perspective to the design as she's standing at the front of the card.

I assembled the card, matting the background onto a panel of sky blue card and then added Noodle at the bottom right corner with foam tape for extra dimension. 

The finishing touches were some highlights around the design with a white pen and glossy accents to her sunglasses.

This challenge is being sponsored by Dr. Digi's House of Stamps

Here is my inspiration card for the current blog challenge with the theme - New Home, using the wonderful feet up and a cuppa digital stamp.  I saw this stamp and it reminded me how tiring moving house can be and I thought it would be a great cheeky card for someone that's just moved house - we all know what its like unpacking those boxes - exhausting!  When we moved from the UK to Spain I think we had unopened boxes around for at least 6 months.

Todays card as a standard A6 card with a background layer of designer paper. The floorboards are coloured with promarkers.  

For the main image I resized this to suit my card and then coloured using Promarkers (see below for colours), before fussy cutting out.

The packing boxes are simply recycled card board with a little brown ink around the edges. The labels are just sticky labels with a little scribbly writing on them.

I hope he gets those boxes unpacked soon as his home is looking very bare !

 

I chose two sentiments for my design from Polkadoodles, one printed onto the floor boards and the other printed and fussy cut out.  

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 - Use Shapes, using the very beautiful Wild Roses digital stamp.  

My favourite colour combination at the moment is yellow and purple, they are such happy Spring colours so I decided my wild roses would be a pale yellow. Todays card is a 5" x 7" portrait card. 

I resized the digital image to suit my design and then printed out on alcohol marker friendly card stock before colouring with Promarkers (see below for colours) and fussy cutting out. 

I then used my Minc machine to apply rose gold foil over the top of the floral image, it gives it such a beautiful finish.

Next I created the background panel, starting with a piece of white card stock, I used several hexagon dies to cut out apertures in the panel and then used a floral embossing folder to add texture.                                                                                                 

I used a piece of purple designer paper adhering this behind the apertures and then splattered gold metallic paint over the entire panel.  

Once dry I mounted the panel onto my card blank using foam tape and then used foam tape to add the wild rose sprig over the design. 

The finishing touches were a few pieces of rose gold confetti around the design and a simple strip 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
