Tiddly Inks Challenge - Shaker Card!

Over on the Tiddly Inks Challenge Blog this week we want you to make a shaker card. Meredith has kindly written a tutorial with pics over on the challenge blog so if you have never made one...now is the time!

For my card I have used Georgia the Gymnast and coloured her with Copics using the following colours...

Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20

Hair - E50/E51/E53

Leotard - BG07

The papers are all My Minds Eye from the new Stella Rose Gertie paper pad , I have kept it pretty simple just adding some stars punch out of the papers with my SU punch and a Craftwork Cards sentiment and a few Making Memories mini alpha's for the "You Did It!". I filled the inside of the shaker part with heart and star confetti in matching colours.

So be sure to pop on over and take a look HERE at the rest of the awesome shaker cards made by the DT.

Another ODD creation!

Here is the final sample I made for my Saturday Challenge on Feb Digi Day at Some Odd Girl. This image is called Head in the Clouds Kaylee and I have coloured her with Copics using the following colours...
Skin - E000/E00/E11/R20
Eyes - B21
Hair - E47/E49/E44
Clothing - BG10/BG11/E70/E71/E44
The papers are a mix of SU Elegant Soiree (spotted) and Prima Marketing Angelique, and all are layered with Bazzill kraft cardstock. I created the cloud freehand after printing the sentiment with the PC, I finished off with an Eva Creative bling swirl and some pearl bling. I only added the swirl bling at the very last minute...and now I am glad I did...cause I love it.

Anyone for Anya? - Anything but a card!

This week over on the Anyone for Anya? Challenge blog our theme is Anything but a Card, and as the challenge title suggests, we want to see anything but a card...

I have made a selection of corner bookmarks 2 featuring the Oliver & Amelia Little Dreamer images and the other three are CC Designs digi stamps Puppy Kiki La Rue, Honey & Teddy & Scarf Honey. All the images are coloured with Copics. The papers are all October Afternoon Fly a Kit and I have embellished with some SU choc chip taffeta ribbon, pearl pins, white poppies and some Melissa Frances rubons.

I intended to make just a couple....but got so carried away with the challenge...I ended up making five! So be sure to hop on over HERE and see what the other DT members came up with....there was such an amazing selection...

I am off to bed early (well for me before 1am is classed as early) as in the morning I am off to the NEC with Tracy from Creative Treasures to the Craft Hobby & Stitches International (Trade) show...a last minute invite....and I cannot wait, don't mind getting up early for that!

Another card featuring Some Odd Girl...

Here is another of the sample cards I made for my challenge last week over on the SOG Digi Day....if you remember my challenge was to print and colour on kraft cardstock.

Eyes - B21

Hair - E51/E53/E55

Clothing - YR00/YR02/BG10/BG11/E44/E47/E49

The papers are all My Minds Eye Mabel available HERE, and Kraft cardstock available HERE. I have added Cherry Blossom, some pearl bling, and a Craftwork Cards sentiment layered with paper cut with my SU label punch. I also used my EK success border punch to create the wave on the green paper. 

If you haven't had a go at stamping/printing onto kraft cardstock and colouring....go have a bash, it's great and you are sure to love the results. I will be back tomorrow with my Anyone for Anya? project...
