RSD Progressive Challenge

Hi all, I'm here today with a card for the Rick St. Dennis Progressive Challenge, using this month's freebie called Mr Tea. isn't he fun?!

I coloured him with some Polychromos pencils, and used some Spellbinders die cutss, and the tea pot and cup dies are from Serendipity Stamps. I added some pleated ribbon and pearl string to the bottom of the card, and added some gems to the die cut border for some glitz.

I Love Promarkers - Things With Wings

Hi all, I'm here today with my last creation as a Guest D.T at I Love Promarkers. The theme this week is Things with Wings.

The sponsor for this week is QKR Stampede, and I have made a Father's Day card using this fun little Parachute Bird from their shop.

I coloured him with promarkers, and layered onto some papers from my stash.

The sentiment is from a Kaisercraft mini stamp set.

I Love Promarkers GDT - Transport

Hi all, I'm back for my third week as Guest Designer over at the I Love Promarkers Challenge. This week, the theme is Transport, so could be boats, planes, trucks, bikes cars etc. And don't forget to use your Promarkers!

This week our sponsor is Dr Digi's House of Stamps, and I have used this fab image of a Morris Minor car,  and at only £1 it is a real bargain! This car remind sme of my childhood back in the 70's! 

I coloured the image with Promarkers, and layered with some Wild Rose Studios papers.

I wrapped some lovely teal twine around the panel for some texture, and added some screw brads to the sentiment.

I Love Promarkers GDT - Anything Goes

Hi all, I'm Guest designing at I Love Promarkers today, and theme this week is everybody's favourite - Anything Goes!

This week's sponsors are The Stamping Boutique, and Marianne.

For my card today, I have used the lovely floral image from The Stamping Boutique, Coeopsis.

 I made a white card base, and sponged some Distress inks over it for the sky and grass. I coloured the flowers with Promarkers, and fussy cut, and adhered to the card base.

I added some grass green twine and a bow, and the sentiment is from a Jofy set by Paperartsy.

I Love Promarkers - GDT- Paper-Piecing

Hi all, I am thrilled to share today that I am this month's Guest Designer over at I Love Promarkers! Thanks for having me ladies! This week our sponsor is Kenny K, and I was given this beautiful Mermaid image to play with. She is gorgeous! The theme for the challenge this week is Paper Piecing, so  along with your Promarkers, add a bit of paper piecing to your projects.

I printed this beautiful image twice, once onto plain Neenah card, and once onto some patterned paper, which I had taped to normal copy paper, and it worked a treat.

I coloured her body with Promarkers, and cut and glued her sea shell and tail to the Neenah print.

So, onto the background - I have recently discovered Brusho's - Pigment paint which you can mix to a variety of strengths, or as I have done here, sprinkle very lightly onto wet card, or dry card and spritz with water. Here, I have used Turquoise, Yellow and Ultramarine, and spritzed - watching the colours dissolve into these bright vibrant colours is mesmerising, and every time you do it, it's different!

I made a central band for the middle of the card with some silver mirri, and the Brusho card, and wrapped some navy grosgrain ribbon and pearly lace around it. I layered the mermaid onto a pretty die cut from Joy Crafts, and die cut some sea creatures, anchors and ship wheels using dies from All Occasion Dies.

I added a swirly flourish and some flowers with some leafy ribbon to mimic seaweed, and popped a couple of pins in there.

The sentiment is by Stampin' Up!, and layered onto a little Spellbinders doily.

Finally, I added some silver sequins, some Stickles to her tail, shells,  hair and flowers, and some Liquid Pearls in Ocean Blue. I loved making this card, this mermaid is right up my street! Or pool!

Don't forget to head on over to I Love Promarkers to see the rest of the DT creations, and get paper piecing!
