With Love

Using Pollycraft's current sketch I created the card below for the following challenges:~

Pollycraft's 'Love' Theme challenge;

Bugaboo's 'Anything Goes' challenge;

Passion for Promarkers 'Let There Be Love' Theme challenge;

One Stitch at a Time Do It with a Digi challenge;

Sentimental Sundays Valentine's Day challenge and

Tuesday Throwdown Buttons Challenge.

My papers are from My Minds Eye, the image is from Bugaboo and coloured with Promarkers, lace edges are done using Xcut punch, sentiment is made using a freebie stamp I got ages ago.  The image is matted and layered onto white and pearlised brown card.  Butterflies buttons are simply gorgeous - bought them on my recent trip back to Scotland in a wee shop in Keith, Banffshire.  They stock millions of different styles and colours of buttons.

Sorry about the size of the pic but something happened in my Photoshop and I dont know how to fix it urggghhhh!  Will try to replace it later.

Ingredients:~

Image is freebie from the fabulous Bugaboo coloured with PMs~

Satin, Pastel Pink, Blush, Ruby, Cool Grey 3, Henna, Cinnamon, Caramel, Sandstone & Marsh Green;

DPs are freebies from My Minds Eys;

Xcut punch used to create lace edges in pearlised brown and white linen papers;

Ribbon and buttons from my stash.

Colour Me Happy from FunkyHand

As many of you know FunkyHand have a brand new cd-rom Colour Me Happy which I could not resist when I saw it. If you don't already know it has 12 colour coordinated design selections each with 23 trendy backing papers, resizable alphabet characters and a worbook processor for your own bespoke WordBook. It also has 35 resizable digistamps - they are all so cute. The papers used on this card are from one of those collections and the colours were just perfect for paper piecing this beach hut digistamp freebie from SJMusings. NO PROMARKERS USED!! AAAAHHH!

BUT I have to say I thoroughly enjoyed paper piecing then mounting them on foam pads so they stood out.

My pics aren't great tonight - the sentiment is a dictionary quote of 'summer' - the season between spring and autumn; the period from the middle of May to the end of August; a period of hot, usually sunny weather. The ribbons are from my stash and the Ribbon Brad is from Papermania.

This is for th efollowing challenges:~

Bugaboo's Summer Challenge;

Crafty Catz Summertime Challenge and

Creative Inspirations Anything Goes Challenge.

TFL X

Pringle for 2 challenges

This card is killing 3 birds with one stone so to speak - it is for my darling Graham for Father's Day; for Catch the Bug Male Challenge and for Passion for Promarkers Anniversary Challenge.

Using card and paper from my stash, I followed Tammy's sketch by embossing beige cardstock with my Sizzix Argyle Folder, cut pearlised paper with my Xcut border punch and added a ribbon and sentiment. The image is Pringle from Sugar Nellie and is coloured with my PMs ~ Cornflower, Pastel Blue, China Blue, Henna, Cinnamon, Caramel and outlined with Cool Grey 1.

I apologise for the state of the close up - think I may need to chum up Graham to see if he will let me used his fancy Nikon camera that usually only comes out for holidays!

Off to the doc just now for my blood results but will be back on later today hopefully!
