Divas By Design - Not Sure!

Hello! I'm back with my card for the new Divas By Design challenge. Our theme for you this week, is to make your creations

MONOCHROME

The DT were all given Dilly Beans images to play with for this challenge. This is Anna Framed. I coloured her with Promarkers & added Frosted Lace Stickles all over her hair. 

I have to admit, this one takes me out of my comfort zone, not only because of the monochrome colouring, but then I made it clean & simple. I agonised over this for so long. I just couldn't decide if looked all right. I'm still not sure.

Dilly Beans Digi Stamps is our wonderful sponsor for this week's challenge. Many Thanks to them for providing the DT's images. Pop on over to the Divas By Design blog to see the fabulous inspiration of my fellow D-Teamies.

I am entering this at Bearly Mine Challenges where this week 'Anything Goes'.

Thanks so much for looking. Hope you're all having a good week.

Big Hugs,

Passion For Promarkers - Eventually!

I'm rather late with this card for this week's Passion For Promarkers challenge, but I got there eventually! Our theme for this week is

EMBOSSING

(either dry or heat)

This little Nellie Snellen cutie is adorable, (Very similar to LOTV!). The papers are Marianne Design. The snowflake dies are Spellbinders & this is where the  embossing comes in. I covered them with Frantage. This was my first experiment with it. I love it when I see it on other people's cards, but I'm petrified of ruining my image so I have to trial it a bit more first!

Apologies for the quality of my photos. Now that Autumn is here, it is so much harder to get decent light.

I hope you'll join us at Passion For Promarkers this week. Our wonderful sponsor is Digi Stamp Boutique.

I used the fab sketch at Bearly Mine Designs for my layout, so I would like to enter my card there.

At Papertake Weekly, they want you to make it sparkle. I hope you can seen the Glamour Dust I added to the snow & Deely Boppers (is that what they're called?)

So that's all from me for now. Whoop whoop for it being Friday, the weekend is almost here. Whatever you are up to, have a good one.

Thanks so much for looking,

Big Hugs,

Andie xx

Divas By Design - Happy Anniversary

Morning Blogland. Time for another fab challenge at Divas By Design & this week our theme is 

WEDDINGS & ANNIVERSARIES

I went for anniversaries as it just happened to have been mine & Paul's wedding anniversary on the Monday just gone. Hence the date on the card. 12yrs of wedded bliss!!! My image is a darling LOTV stamp, coloured with Distress inks. The papers are MME - Portobello Rd. Big love to my wonderful friend who sent them to me xx. The flag die is from La La Land. Because it was for my hubby & kept the embellishment to a minimum.

So I hope you'll join us for this challenge. Pop on over to the Divas By Design blog to see the wonderful inspiration of my fellow D-Teamies. Our sponsors, this week are the fabulous LOTV.




I used the lovely sketch at Sketch Saturday this week for my layout. So I would like to enter my card there.

I am also entering this at Totally Gorjuss where 'Anything Goes'.

So that's all from me for now. Hope everyone is having a good week.
Thanks so much for looking

Passion For Promarkers - Girly Pearly

Hello! Back again with another card for the Passion For Promarkers DT. This week our wonderful D-Teamie, Kelly has chosen our theme & wants to see creations that are 

PINK & GIRLY

My Mojo has been missing a little of late, but couldn't stay away for too long when faced with this adorable LOTV cutie. I bought her last year & she has only just seen ink (tut, tut). The papers are Fancy Pants - Winterland & the snowflakes cut with a Joy Crafts die. 

I added a little pink glitter to her crown & Glamour Dust on the snowflakes. I'm worried though, that she's going to catch a chill without a coat, LOL!

At Passion For Promarkers we're sponsored by the lovely people at Letraset who are offering this week's lucky winner a 6 pack of Flexmarkers.



Please pop on over to the PFP blog to see the fabulous creations of my fellow D-Teamies.

I am entering this at Crafting Life's Pieces where I flipped their fab sketch for my layout.

At the LOTV Monthly Challenge, they want to see cards using Ribbon or Lace.

At Lili's Little Fairies, shortly to become Crafty Little Fairies, they want to see cards without flowers.

I'm hoping the cheesecloth & glitter I used is enough to merit inclusion into this weeks Totally Gorjuss challenge which is to use texture.

At Simon Says Stamp, Anything Goes.

Oooh that's a lot of challenges for me. I don't normally enter so many! 

Well I hope you are all having a good week. My boys don't go back to school till Sept 9th, so I am off with them this week. We're off to Chester Zoo tomorrow. They love animals even though we have no pets, & are so excited about it. The weather is going to be good, so it should be fun. Today though, I need to get in the garden, the weeds are starting to take over again. Grrrr! It detracts from my crafting time!

Whatever you are up to, have fun.

Thanks so much for looking.
Big Hugs,
Andie xx
