Here is my card for Christmas in July, the image has been coloured with copic pens and fussy cut. The background has been created with a lot of scraps, cut into strips and layered with a space between each piece to leave a white border. 3D glitter added to the hat to complete the card.
I love this image, the horse and cat seem to be having a good chuckle. The image is from Hettie Clare and called, Friends forever. Coloured with copic pens and fussy cut, layered onto coloured paper, with coloured circle stickers.
Merry Christmas everyone
The theme this month is Silver. I did look through my die catalogue, no luck no bells. So I found an image on the net, printed the outline on the back of some silver cardstock to create my silver bells.
The Holly and berries are from a Polkadoodle die.
Theme is Snowman, I chose an image called Melting Snowman from QKR, have to admit it is probably my most used Christmas image over the years. I do have two different snowmen that are melting, just seems right for someone living in Australia, something would be terribly wrong if I saw a snowman at Christmas time.
I have only coloured his clothes, nose and cheeks with Prisma coloured pencils. Not sure if the photo does it justice, but I wanted a woolly type of effect on the scarf. My trusty Snow marker has also been used.
The theme at Pearly Sparkles this month is "Pumpkins and/or Autumn Leaves". I dug into my stash for this card, the images are from Robyn's Fetish, a digital that is sadly no longer having closed several years ago, my first design team. Lover these cute images, hope you do also.
Coloured with copic pens and added with 3d squares. I have added orange glitter in spots on the card.

The theme is Traci's recipe Pink, pearls and/or sparkle
The theme is Under the sea. I have chosen an Imagine That image called, Baby Mermaid. Perfect image for a Mermay Birthday. I have used the precoloured image from the kit and created a patterned paper. Kindy Glitter Cristalina swirled around for water.
The theme is: A shaped Card
I have made a teepee card and decorated it with diecuts from 49 and Market. Love making these cards, they lay flat for posting, just need a big envelope. If you click on the photos you will get a clearer photo, not sure if it is my camera or my computer playing around with my photos.
The theme is Masculine and yes I am late!!!!! I made this card for a young man for his 13th Birthday, he is a mad keen and very good cricketer. The cricket ball is a paper candy.
The theme is Black and white plus one more colour, I have used Urban scene for this birthday card, using red for the sign and the paint.
This month's theme is Monochromatic, as the grandchildren get older , especially for the males, the card making gets more difficult. I saw this verse, changed it a bit and thought great for a 20 year old.
I also added some some images from my stash and some black ribbon.
The theme is anything but a Card, I have made a tag to go into my 2025 journa. Using pieces by 49 and market. (In the leaves Ephemera bits)
The 1st March being our official start of Autumn, I have used Autumn colours. Noticing the change of season since we moved, we never got alot of Autumn colours, but living closer to the mountains, the leaves are already starting to change and giving us that wonderful Autumn glow.
The theme this month is Love is in the Air, thought I would do a fun card. The image is by From the Heart, Super Birdbrain. Coloured with copic pens, verse of Fly me to the moon has been printed onto the card.
Hi everyone and as a new year starts it is out with the old and in with the new. Theme for January at Pearly Sparkles is Something Old Something New. I decided to combine the two and used a card I made some time ago, still hadn't used so I decided to add some elements I received in a gift package of craft supplies to make a new card.
Old Version
The theme is Christmas and I have know idea how many of the cards I have sent over the last couple of years. The set is called Christmas and it is by Sweet November. There are a number of pieces to the set. It contains the boy, girl, dog, cat scenery curtains etc. I just happen to love paper piecing this set and this set is perfect. For today I ave used the little boy and his dog.
This is a special month at Pearly Sparkles, we remember the lady that created this challenge, Traci. In honor of Traci we incorporate some things she loved for this challenge.
This month's theme is Floral, I have used an image from Fred She Said called Lenten Rose, Helibore. I have coloured the image with copic pens, fussy cut and layered it onto some patterned tissue paper. The sentiment is from a stamp by Stampin Up[.
Christmas in July is the theme. I have used an image from Hettie, called Beach Pony Float. In fact you may see more of this image as I have made a few different cards with this delightful image and one that suits Australia at Christmas time.
This is a pretty simple card, I have coloured the image with copics, typed a sentiment and added glitter to the water.
The theme is One for the Girls. I have had this image in my stash for a while, thought it would make a great birthday card for an tween girl, not a child, and not yet quite a teenager.
I coloured the image sometime ago and cannot find it on my computer, if anyone knows the name of the image, please leave a comment. Coloured with copics, I have added a music diecut and some little paper candy.
The theme this month is "Cats/Dogs" I have used an image from Imagine That called, Go Fly a Kite. Coloured with Copic pens and layered onto patterned paper.
