Color throwdown blue,lime green and green

 

Over at the Color Throwdown challenge this weeks colours are blue ,lime green and green....and it just so happened that i was making this card for a friends birthday .I am loving this flower!!! I havent a clue where or who its by as a friend who is giving up card making gifted me a few of her dies last week and unfortunately they were just loose.

To keep within the challenge guidelines I used lime and green cardstock for the leaves and coloured the blue parts with a promarker.

Thanks for taking the time to look

AAA challenge

When I saw the sketch challenge over at the AAA Challenge blog for some reason I saw the sketch as a  boys card .

A few years ago I saw all these beautiful watercoloured handmade cards all over the internet and after watching lots and lots of videos,I invested in an expensive watercolour set....needless to say I am  totally useless at it :) so I use the paints to do splatter paints and other non painting techniques :) . I thought that it would add a bit of playfulness to my card and I admit who doesnt like a bit of splatter painting :).I used a clearly besotted stamp set coloured with promarkers and one of the sentiments from the set to finish it off.

Thank you for taking the time to look!

FLOWERS

I have started this year with a bit of a cardmakers block and when that happens I often recreate a card that I've done before and this time I did that with a card that I last made in 2017! Though I used the same idea -  the word "Happy" as the main image and stamped flowers coloured with promarkers on the letter, when I looked back it was totally different from todays offering !!I added a panel, kept the blue shading ann the placement of the sentiment :)  What do you think,enough of a difference??:)

 

I thought so and I felt that it would meet the challenge over at Cas on Sunday for flowers on your card :)

Though must admit on my phone the card is much clearer and darker but for some reason it appears much lighter on my laptop :)

Thank you for taking the time to look 

Color Throwdown

 

Over at the Color Throwdown  they are asking that our cards have green,red and cream on them .I had this little Inkers stamp for years and had never used it,but once stamped loved it!!.I coloured it with promarkers and a little bit of wink of stella for a little bit of sparkle:) 

But needed to add the cream so I used a creamy toned perfect pearls and dotted them  around.

Sorry about the photograph it is very overcast and dull here today !

Thanks for looking

Cas on Sunday

I was delighted to be a winner at Cas on Sunday and delighted to be a guest designer for this weeks challenge .Which was the sketch below. 
 

I did take a bit of artistic license and turned the sketch the opposite way(read that i had stuck it down when i realised it was on the wrong side ...sorry!) but hope you can see where my inspiration came from .For my card I used distress inks to make the background then stamped the images and using an old  SU punch to highlight the silhouette images.The snow is an white gel pen :)

Thank you for taking the time to look

Alphabet challenge

 This week over at the Alphabet challenge they are asking for your card to be Quick and Easy...and this was so quick and easy thinking of doing a lot more for Christmas !

The image is by Penny Black coloured with promarkers and then a bit of "snow" glitte radded to the hat and wink of stella for the stocking .... sentiment is unknown asI have  had it for years :)

Thanks for taking the time to look.

The Male Room

This weeks challenge over at The Male Room was definitely a challenge for me ! I dont think I have made a kenetic card before So I kept it really simple ...mostly because that was my limit  :)As you can see I stamped and coloured the little camper van twice and then fussy cut them out before sticking them together after running a clear thread between them and attaching them under the red cardstock finally adding the sentiment ...Sounds so  simple doesnt it?? well it was except it took a few goes to get it (almost) right :)

Thank you for challenging me in this challenge Male room !
