NO BACKING PAPERS

Oooeerrr!!! I'm still missing my blog posts but I really am trying hard to sort things out. I should be making at least 2 a week for my DT's. Soz peeps.

Anyway, as it's Wednesday and I was up with the lark (well nearly) I'll get my I ♥ PROMARKERS DT challenge card up. This week is challenge #63 and it's No Backing Papers. It's a theme quite a few people struggle with, including myself lol. Our sponsor this week is DIGI DOODLE SHOP with a $10 gift certificate for the online store. The DT all used a selection of her images and I chose Fairy and Daisy and to go clean and simple.


I used a Marianne Designables cutting and embossing folder, turned it lengthways and backed it with some purple card and the corner is a Nellie's die. As this particular corner die stays attached to the main card, I cut around it to use it as a single ornament. The sentiment is one of my own designs, available HERE.

HOLLA OUT!

I've had so much going on lately, I missed a couple of blog posts but hopefully, I'm back now. This week, challenge #61 over at I ♥ PROMARKERS is a sketch. I can't remember the last time I followed a sketch and I'd forgotten how easy it makes things for you. Our sponsor this week is the fantastic KENNY K and all the design team used his images. I chose to use HollaBackGirl.



My papers are My Minds Eye 'Mabel' with matching Bazzill cardstock. Flowers are from Wild Orchid Crafts. The image was cut out and mounted on 3D foam pads, and the sentiment (also on 3D foam pads) is one of my own available HERE.

YOU GOTTA LOVE FLOWERS..

This is a super time of year when all the flowers start to show their pretty heads and this weeks challenge #115 over at THE CRAFTY PAD is just that - FLOWERS. We want to see lots of lovely blossoms and blooms on your projects.
We are sponsored this week by CRAFTY EMMA'S STORE and the prize for the winner is a £10 gift voucher to spend in her store (excluding p&p).

The design team all used an Animal in Window image available from THE CRAFTY PAD DESIGNS.

I decided to make an over the edge easel card for my project this week. I don't make many of these, so it made a nice change and I'm going to give it to my mum (who is in hospital), for mothers day with a big bunch of flowers and a gorgeous pink manicure set.





My image was coloured with Promarkers and my papers are from the My Minds Eye - Stella & Rose 'Mabel' pad with matching Bazzil cardstock. The flowers were cut with a Marianne Designs die with the little centre roses from Wild Orchid Crafts. I don't like gems personally, but mum does so I added some square ones from Papermania and the lace is from my stash. The sentiment is also from The Crafty Pad Designs.
