Sleepy bear Christmas

I’m back making another Christmas card again in March…. It is cold enough to make me think its the right time of year for Christmas. Maybe next month it will be warmer?

For the DT challenge this week the sponsor for trimmies CRAFT challenge #670 is All Dressed Up (ADU). The theme this week is “Christmas”. Each week we invite you to join us at Trimmies Craft Challenge going with the theme.

So here’s a summary of the materials used to make the card:

• Digital image from ADU
• High tack glue
• Base card – 300gsm
• Coloured pencils
• Glamour dust
• Background paper
• Pencil and paper stumps for shading
• Sentiment strip

I love this digital image and have used it before. It doesn’t take much colouring, but is coloured with coloured pencils and cut to a square topper. It helps that polar bears are white I guess!! I’ve chosen some subtle colours which tone in with the background paper that the image is matted onto. To add some sparkle to the image (as it is Christmas) I used a quickie glue pen and some glimmer dust.

I hope that you feel inspired and it would be lovely to read your comments. Please let me know whether this has inspired you!

Inspired by a song 🎵

Hi everyone. I hope you all had a good festive season however you celebrated. It’s now a new year full of new challenges and new inspiration! Hopefully you can take a look at older posts and find inspiration there too. Since this challenge is about being inspired it’s fitting that this is my first challenge for the year and has the theme “inspired by a song”.

So I chose the song “flowers” by Sweet Female Attitude and it is also my mums birthday this week so I chose this for her. She can’t have real flowers due to her allergies, but she does like them.

For the DT challenge this week the sponsor for trimmies CRAFT challenge #664 is All Dressed Up (ADU). The theme this week is “inspired by a song”. Each week we invite you to join us at Trimmies Craft Challenge going with the theme.

So here’s a summary of the materials used to make the card:

• Digital image
• High tack glue
• Base card – 300gsm
• Coloured pencils
• Backing paper
• An edging die to add the border to the topped

I hope that you feel inspired and it would be lovely to read you comments. Please let me know whether this has inspired you!

Winter vibes

We are now into February, where has the last month gone?

The sponsor for the CRAFT challenge #625 is ,All Dressed Up (ADU) and the theme is Winter. Each week we invite you to join us at Trimmies Craft Challenge going with the theme.

So here’s a summary of the materials used to make the card:

• White 6×6” 300gsm base card
• Pink heavyweight paper
• Digital image
• Chameleon pens
• Die cut snowflakes
• Snowflake aperture die
• Text background stamp
• Distress oxide ink
• Gems

For this card I stamped the text background stamp onto the base card. I also cut a piece of pink paper to mat onto the base card, and out of this I cut a snowflake aperture. Once I had coloured the digital image with Chameleon pens I cut the deer out. I’ve also distressed the pink paper with text and distress oxide ink to give more of a focus to that panel.

Thank you for stopping by, please leave a comment. X

CRAFT challenge #585 – Love/Valentines

Welcome to this weeks challenge at Trimmies Craft Challenge is on for one week and the theme for this challenge is Love/Valentines. The sponsors for this challenge are All Dressed Up.

This gorgeous girl is coloured with Chameleon pens (NU1, PK2, NU00, NG4, PK3, GR1, NU2, BR1, WG3) and Nuvo pen 487. I felt the sentiment stamp “all you need is love” summed up the love/Valentine theme for this challenge. I rounded the corners of my topper and inked it in a toning colour, rounded the corners of the silver mat and mounted it onto a floral card to set off the flowers in her hair.

Let’s see what creations you come up with – there are always some fabulous ideas out there. Good luck!
