Does Girly mean going Pink!

This gorgeous image is called Serenity, I chose it as part of a prize I won recently. Serenity is by DigiStamps4Joy.  Check out the store lots of wonderful images.

Serenity has been coloured with Copic and Kaisercraft Pens, cut around the edges, layered on a doily and Kraft card with flowers added to complete the card.  Not one bit of pink on my feminine card (not really a favourite colour of mine), but I thought the softer browns and greens suited her and her name.

Grandpa

I'm in a House Mouse monthly creation swap, this month we had to make a card for a male with the little mice, I have scanned and shrunk the little mice to go with the Dr Digi image, "Pefect Sunday".

I have used paper strips to make the herringbone bakckground, the really dark brown stipes are ribbon.  Used some hessian and little buttons also.  The image has been coloured with Copic/Touch and Kaisercraft pens.  Hope my swap partner likes her little mice card.

Daffodils

Daffodils have a number of meanings, I love that they symbolise rebirth and new beginnings, in Australia we have daffodil day for Cancer research also.   When I see them pop their yellow heads up in my garden, I know winter is saying goodbye and Spring is waving a colourful cheery Hello.
I chose this lovely bunch of daffodils sitting in a teapot for a prize I recently won.  They are from Beccy's Place, check out her store HERE

Coloured with copic pens, layered on a doily and designer paper, I have also added a butterfly.

Robyn's Fetish Challenge # 215 - Baby Cards - 8 June, 2014

Our sponsor this week is Just Some Lines

http://justsomelines.com/shop/

The "Just Some Lines" store is offering the winner their choice of  4 single digital stamps

For my Baby Card I have chosen to use "Baby Sleeping on a Cloud" which I have coloured with Kaisercraft Pens.  Cut out and mounted with 3d squares onto star designed paper.  I have added a gel sticker, which was coloured with a Copic pen.   I now realise the photo does not show off the sentiment,.  It says Baby Son and has a little duck at the top and a safety pin at the bottom. The paper has been continued inside the card.

How Much is that Doggie in the Window

Sometimes the planets align, not often enough, but they do align at times.  Last week I received a gorgeous window card from a friend in the USA, and it gave me some ideas for a christmas card I'm making at the moment.  Then I saw the image and challenge at Ikes World this week and knew I had to make a window card for the challenge.

The little image is called Pets 2, which I have coloured with Copic pens and added a bow.

The Dog and For Sale sign are inside the window front fo the card.
