Robyn's new challenge

never an easy card to make

Todays challenge at Robyns fetish challenge is anything goes, so I thought I would use the Lily digi to make a sympathy card, I do think this type can be one of the hardest types to make in keeping it simple and understated but still pleasing to the eye, Pro markers were used to colour the image going with lighter tones to suit the theme, and also i used the crosses from spellbindes and layered these on finally finishing off with the with sympathy sentiment peel off, I kept the overall size of the card to 4 inches square keeping the embellishments as the focal point.
Check out the other DT's work on their blogs (found in my side bar) and get entering this weeks challenge, have fun and loads of luck wished to you all.

Prizes for the winner will be 3 digi's of your choice from the store.

This little digi is skating and only released Sunday but you can still get her in the shop.

I changed a cut design to a print and cut for this one,I did an offsett to the digi and welded it onto the background, set my print marks then cut, I used rymans white card smooth, as I like to cut with it but recently realized that I love using my pro markers with it as it gives a great finish, i used glitter glue for the bottom of her skirt and the holly berries, then decided to glitter the sentiment to, I like christmas cards as you can get away with mixing colour-ways more freely, then I mounted the finished topper onto a dark green background and then onto a pale green card blank, hope you like it

Hi everyone,
Today I decided to make a wedge box, as a lovely lady from my cameo fb group, was searching for somewhere that had a design with no luck, so while she was out I designed the shape as a cut file for her when she got in, well I was so pleased with it that I myself have cut a few and decorated with my good friend 
kat Dunn's sooo cute little digi CHRISTMAS BABY from her christmas digi Lil'Bec range that you can find on her blog and shop.

I love these stamps plenty of detail without to much fuss an they are based on her own wonderful little niece. Anyway I inked the edges with my fav Tim Holtz distress pads and water coloured the digi image with some pencils, faux stitched the edges in barn door, added jewels and a little gingham ribbon, hope you like it.

a digi, but when I saw her for the first time, I just knew she will be a character that everyone i'm sure will want to get to know in all her growing antics, the background I made using elements from my serif which I recently updated and is giving me loads of grief, must look into it, busy busy busy.

IT WAS IN THE BIN

OH DEAR

saved, I had put this one in the bin, I just was'nt getting the feel for it, but luckily it got a reprieve thanks to Nicky at polkadoodles. this weeks challenge is season and teal, so I sat thinking and duh the brain cogs finally kicked  in and a rumaging I went luckily for me the bag had not
 been put outside, so the card was'nt ruined, anyway with a bit of bling added and ribbon to finish of this 
card, Here it is.

I used the wonderful papers and images from the picknix 12
Gingerbread twist CD. 
I designed the base with my cameo to make the cut out rocker element,
the card is coloured in teal shades with Tim Holtz distress pens I added faux stitching in places, then added bling in the smaller holes and on the holly berries, now it is growing on me so maybe teal will become a colour of choice, hmmmmm, still thinking about that one.

One more flower

 

HO HO  HO             

Another crimbo card, this one with circle tips inked using Tim Holtz distree pads an coloured with pro markers, the stamps are all freebie ones given out with magazines the santa, parcel and tree are by nit wit , love em.

 

Christmas flower card

crimbo is coming    

 

 Have been busy designing cut outs still themed on the original flower that i designed using a different lace effect,

I decided to change this one into a christmas card using 3 free stamps I have got with magazines this year, thought i would break with tradition and opted for a green and orange tone, the images were coloured in with the new Tim Holtz distress markers which i love, and I distressed the edges of the card base and the centre of the lace topper, I also added glitter to all the berries baubles and bells, finished with a little bow.

I am entering this card into the fashionista challenge

Tattered rose and
Victorian velvet, i then added sentiments
from marie ann designs and i added 3 little flowers coloured with pro markers, hope you like.
