Good morning Crafty Friends.  Hoping you are good today.

There is a fantastic ANYTHING GOES challenge over at LTSCB this fortnight.  Please come along and join in the fun.  There is also a DT call on at the moment, so if you are interested, please apply.  Details are on the LTSCB.

My card.....

I enjoyed making this pretty card as it is a little different for me.  It's good to ring the changes sometimes.  My lovely sentiment and butterflies were kindly given to me by DRS Designs and they are called Three Butterflies and Happiness Butterfly Greeting.  Those pretty corners were a free die from a magazine.  I also used my ProMarkers to colour the butterflies.  The polka dot paper is from Wild Orchid Crafts and my gems are from The Works.

Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge 218 Sponsored by Sparkle n Sprinkle, The Stamping Boutique and Di's Digi Stamps

Good Afternoon everyone.

There is another fantastic challenge over at Penny's Paper-Crafty and this week the theme is Ribbons and Bows.  Please come along and join in the fun. 

Here is my card...

This image is simply stunning but I made a bit of a boo boo with mine as he looks a bit more orange than I intended and I missed out the white bits on his face, which tigers seem to have.  Anyhow my image is from Sparkle and Sprinkle and is called Tiger Digital Stamp.  I've coloured mine in with ProMarkers and I really would like to have another go at colouring this in to see if I can do better.  I think I may also need some different shades of orange.

Good Afternoon Everyone.  Hope you are all good.

I saw a challenge on Passion for ProMarkers for the colour combo lilac and lemon.  I thought I would try this and here is my card....

....this was a really interesting combo to work with.  The lovely image is from the Paper Shelter and I have coloured her in with ProMarkers.  The papers are a combination of old papers and I have embossed the purple paper with a music sheet cuttlebug embossing folder.  Everything else is just from my stash.
