A Rose in disguise.

Another card for your inspiration. It is week 3 of the Butterfly challenge and still 2 weeks for you to enter.
#105 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the Letter F.
This card uses the combination of Ferrari Red/Fold more than 1/ Butterfly.
The digi is another freebie from Beccy's Place  called Clematis but whilst looking through my papers I found this one which is actually wild roses (from Pretty Things by Juliana Kneipp) but looked  exactly like the image so I have coloured as if a rose. Card shape is half an Accordian as I didn't put the last fold in which would have then made 4 panels. I have coloured using my Graph'it pens and a gold gel pen around the edges of the image. I like the effect this gives IRL. Hard to capture on camera though. The butterflies are gold stickers from my stash.

Looking down on the card from above so you can see the shape clearer.

Hope you can find the time to play along.

A Big Whoop

Have been without internet for past two days (explanation given to me was that wires got crossed, make of that what you will) and only got back on last night so  busy now trying to catch up. 

It was our Granddaughters birthday last month and this is the card that I made for her. She loves pink and is nearly always in denim and owns 2 pet rabbits so this digi by Mo's Digital Pencil called 'A Big Whoop' seemed most appropriate with the rabbit in the little girls pocket. Iv'e coloured using my Promarkers. 

I have made the card as an easel card and put 8 candles on the inside. They are Anita sticker glitterations along with the sentiments from my stash which are getting worrying low now!!

The Doc and I.

Well my email server has decided it no longer likes me or my passwords so short of emailing it a copy of my birth certificate (which of course I can't do as it is catch 22) to prove who I am I'm a duck out of water at the moment. My son has had a look and said everything is correct I will just have to sit it out and wait. Perhaps a bag of sweeties might  entice it to be nice to me but at the moment a good box round the ears is what I really feel like giving it!!

Anyway It was our Wedding Anniversary this week and here is the card that I made for The Doc.

Digi image is from Bugaboo  Gus and Stella 'Remember.' Coloured with my promarkers. I printed the sentiment off in word. We went to our favourite Fish Restaurant. It is a 2.5hr ride away but we make a day of it. The restaurant is right by the waters edge and you can watch all the boats going past. Some of them quite expensive too. Well one can always dream. It was a very pleasant day.

Sorry?  Were you expecting more. You didn't really think I was going to spill the beans on what was inside the card now did you!! 

Jar of Flowers.

Another card to show you as inspiration for the current Butterfly Challenge.
#105 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the Letter F.

This time I am using  French Blue/Flowers/Butterfly.

Stamp is by Stampingbella called 'Mason Jar of Flowers'. I have coloured using my Graph'it markers and a silver gel pen. The sentiment is part of the set. The butterfly is a fly sticker from my stash. The base card is made from Blue cardstock which I adhered the image to the front of.

The challenge is running for a further 3 weeks and will finish on Tuesday 28th August 8pm (GMT). I will post another card up next Wednesday using further elements from the Butterfly wheel so stay tuned.

Sleigh and Sled.

Time again for the girls in the Christmas Card Club to show our next cards.  Maureen set the theme and asked for Christmas Activities using a  Sleigh, Sled, or Ski's. I had one used christmas card front that was suitable and I found a digi image to use as well. Phew!! Thought I was going to be stuck on this one.

First Card uses an old christmas card front that I have trimmed down. Papers are all from a paper pack by Glitz called 'Joyeux Noel'.

 The card front was quite pink in colour so I toned it down with papers that were red and brown themed. Sentiment was already on the card front.

My second card uses a pre - coloured digi by The Paper Shelter called 'Sliding Bear'. Again I have teamed with papers from the same paper  pack as above. The sentiment is a stamp by Phill Martin from his Scribbled Christmas Sentiment Corners Set which I highlighted with a brown pearlescent chalk.

Two more cards to add to my christmas pile which is beginning to stack up nicely.

3 Cats in a Row.

I have been remiss in showing your the cat cards that I have been sending each week to our Grandson.

This digi image is by Fairytale Clipart .com Called Mama Cat( No 15). I have coloured with my promarkers and made each one represent the cats that live with our Grandson. Tortie and white/Black/Tortishell.  The digi paper is by My Clip Art Store and is called Navaho Tribal paper( No2). I finished the box off with some washi tape. Silver sticker was in my stash.

 I enclosed a new game for him to play. A simple 3 in a row. I cut numerous cat heads from the digi image and coloured some black and the others white. I had a packet of plain wooden discs that I coloured in black paint and silver paint and then glued the opposite coloured cat to each one.

Fuchsias.

It is time for a new challenge over on the butterfly challenge and the theme is as follows.
#105 Spin The Butterfly Wheel with the Letter F.

The colour wheel this time round is

Ferrari Red/French Blue/ Fuchsia/Flowers/Frame It/ Folds more than 1/ Butterfly.

Challenge is lasting for 4 weeks to take into account the school holidays and this beautiful weather that we have been experiencing of late. Long may it continue.

My card to inspire you is using Ferrari Red/Frame It/ Butterfly.

This lovely digi image is a freebie from Beccys Place where she has a  number of images that you can download.  I have a fuchsia bush just this colour in the garden so I took my pens outside and set up a table in front of the flower and copied the colours that I saw. The frame is made from silver edging and the the butterflies were silver stickers, both from my stash. I have adhered the image onto pink carstock ( which is coming out red in the picture) and then onto a white card base. The sentiment is part of a set by Digi Stamp Boutique called Birthday Mr Bear.
 I didn't realise that the leaves  on a Fuchsia actually have red veining on them. Here is the real thing which this time my camera is showing as pink not red IRL!!!!  I coloured mine using my Marvy Le Plume II watercolour pens by scribbling the colour onto a piece of acetate and then picking the colours up with a water brush. When dry I went over with my  clear Wink of Stella brush.

I will post another card using more of the wheel next Wednesday so stay tuned.
