This week's challenge card for Pear Tree- Ribbon.

This week's theme over at Pear Tree Designs this week is Ribbon...we want to see ribbon somewhere on your card. This week's sponsor is Robyn's Fetish, so pop over and check it out!

The DT were sent some digi papers to play with this week, and they were gorgeous! I decided to use these duck egg blue papers for my card....not sure my printer did them justice though lol. I teamed them up with a Tilda image I've had for a while, which I coloured in with my Promarkers. I added a die cut oval which I inked with yellow ink. The yellow ribbon is from my stash and so are the gems. The sentiment is a Lili of the Valley stamp.

Thanks for looking

This week's challenge card for Pear Tree Designs.

This week's challenge over at Pear Tree Designs is to make a card using all one colour...it can be variations of the same colour though. Our sponsor this week is Cardmadfairy's Creations and the DT were sent some lovely images to play with...it was hard to choose which one to use!

I decided on this lovely boy & girl image which I thought was so cute! I coloured it in with Promarkers and mounted the image onto blue card. The paper is a freebie sheet from a mag that I got ages ago, but I think it goes so well with the image. The ribbon is from my stash, as is the button & flower. The stamp is a Lili of the Valley one.

I am entering this card into the following challenge:
Totally Papercrafts: Do it with a Digi

My challenge card for Pear Tree Designs.

This week's theme over at Pear Tree Designs is Valentines....and our sponsor this week is One Stop Card Craft, so pop over and enter that special card for the love in your life :)

I made this card for my darling hubby and I used a really cute freebie from Meljen Designs, which I thought was sooo cute! I coloured it with my promarkers and used my Nesties to mount it. The heart paper was a freebie saved on my laptop, and I embossed a red panel. I inked a heart shaped doily to pop behind the image. The gems and heart are from my stash and the sentiment was done on the computer.

I am also entering it some other challenges-there's so many Valentines/Love ones this week!

Birthday card for my friend's son.

My best friend's son was 11 yesterday so I made him this birthday card....I hope he liked it!

I had this image saved on my laptop from ages ago, it was a freebie digi from Dustin Pike and have been looking for an opportunity to use it! I love it and will be using it again! I coloured him in with my promarkers and added some white gel pen highlights, before mounting onto Nestie circles. The papers are from K & CO, they are a fave of mine and just work so well for male cards! The ticket stamp is from Pink Gem Designs and I used a number stamp to do the 11 label, inking with blue ink as I went. The buttons are from my stash and have been tied with embroidery thread.

I am entering this card into a few challenges:
One Stop Craft Challenge : Numbers
Little Claire's: Anything Goes
One Stitch at a Time: Do it with a digi
