CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGE No 12

My second card for this fortnights challenge is using two images from Crafting with Jack, 'Happy St Pat's Day' and 'Shamrock'.  I also included Nells Cottage from Becksplace and a wall and Leprechaun, which I think I got from Dover publications.  I have begun using a different paper for Copic pens and I am trying different methods.  I used PSE to create the little scene of the Cottage, wall, leprrechaun and the Happy St Pats design, then I added the Shamrock design either side of the wall.  I used Copics to colour the Crafting with Jacks designs.  Naturally it had to be a green card, and then hunted through the garden and found some clover, dried a clover leaf and stuck that inside, where there is room to write an Irish blessing

 thank goodness for modern technology, I have a microwave flower press

CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGE No 12

Hard to believe that we are up to challenge 12 at CDAC.  Some great images this fortnight.  The theme was Green, Great  and Gorgeous.  For my first card I used two of the images, the first image is called "Nolan and the Bullfrog" by "Fred She Said", I also added the coloured image of  " Hang in There" by "Georgia Ehrmann" (had a little bit of fun with this image also)  Nolan was coloured with Copics, added some card and ribbon and made a trifold card.  Check out the pics below.

Deviant Scrap February ATC Swap

I love doing these swaps each month, sometimes we swap by emails but a lot of the time we use snail mail and I love receiving these cute little cards from around the world.  This is the one I have made for February, theme was, of course, love.  The little image was on our Wedding Invitations 40 years ago, I think I have always been into cutesy, lol.

Dilly Beans Designers & Friday Challenges - Love is in the Air

Another Friday challenge at Dilly beans, I have used an image from Dilly Beans called Framed - Zombie Hearts.  Coloured with Copic, added some cute heart shaped pupils and some glitter to those red hearts.  Then open the card and you have a pop up flower for your Valentine.

Poisioned Peas 1st Challenge - Freestyle

Came upon this challenge by chance, one card a month, I can fit that in, so here is my February entry. Had so much fun doing this card, I love everything steampunk and thought I would use an image from Anjies Antics called Roseheart.  Coloured image with Copic and then stuck on a number of tiny cogs and a clock face, amazing how many old watches we have at home.  Mounted on some patterned paper.

CDAC PROGRESSIVE FREEBIE CHALLENGES No. 11

Hard to believe we are up to Challenge number 11 at CDAC, my first card is using a cute little bear by Sew Many Cards.  I have coloured the bear with pencils.  Heart card template is from Wendy Designs at Brownie Scraps. Think I will add a red bow to the red ribbon.

Dilly Beans Designers & Friday Challenges

This weeks challenge at Dilly Beans is 'Zombie Love'.  I immediately thought of a kit from Finecrafted Designs at Deviant Scrap called Day of the Dead, I used it for a challange on Deviant Scraps and it seemed perfect for this challenge.  I printed the skeletons with the hats straight onto the card.  Coloured their clothing, printed, cut out and stuck on the card.  And as we are in the middle of renovations it is hard enough finding the computer let alone bits and pieces for craft, I found some heart ribbon and coloured with copic, printed out a title and then used some fun rub ons which show up my sense of humour.  Hope you like this very quick card, now back to cleaning.
