My DT card

I'm making cards at the moment for my grandaughters nursery, they're raising money to buy a new camera.

Isn't this a cute shape, when it's closed it fits in to a C6 or 16 1/2 x 11 1/2 cm envelope.

You can see how to make an  A5 version on Leann blog of Crafters Companion.

Although it does say you need 6 A5 pieces of card, you only use 4 and one to cut a square from.

A tip that might help is not to use thick card as it's quite springy to close, especially if matting and layering, light weight card stock is fine..

I've used digi papers again I'm really loving the papers from Pink Petticoat ( blossom and mocha plain ) and matched it beautifully with a paper from Popcorn Bear CD... floral.

The cute ted stamp is Penny Black 'snug' coloured with copics E30 31 YR21 and the background R000

W1 shadow

While visiting Cupcake Craft challenge I hopped over to Shelly she inspired me with her doodle borders well worth a visit, she has some gorgeous creations.

I embossed the front panels with a Cuttlebug border folder and added pearls Hobby House Crafts the ribbon was from Whichcraft uk it might not be on the site but you can order by phone.

The sentiment was written on the computer. I left the other oval empty for a personal message.

For a Loved One # Creative Card Crew

Good Morning,  it's a cold but sunny morning here hope you're all tickety boo!!!

Tuesday means another fun challenge from Creative Card Crew.

This week we want you to create something....

FOR A LOVED ONE

Our sponsor for this week is Robyn's Fetish Digital Stamps 

This little girl from our sponsor is called Lucy she's a Valentine's girl but i've used her for a Mother's Day Theme.

I thought I would get some Polychromos pencils to try, which i've used along with Copics, to deepen some of the shadows. These are wax base pencils and, as with any new technique it takes practice to get to know how they work.

I've been thinking lately that I want to spend more time practicing with different colouring mediums.

The Prisma pencils are another one I want to try. If anyone has any tips on the difference between the the two pencils i'd love to hear them.

When I attend workshops at Whichcraftuk we sometimes colour with distress inks and I get really frustrated because i'm pants with them so they are on my to-do-list!!!

Some great workshops this month and a demo day on the 26th hope to see you there!!

There's not much I can say about my card as the papers are out of the scrap pile so not sure where they're from, just thought they went together ok.

I used the sketch from Sketch Saturday Challenge

There's lots of love in blog land... some challenges to share it with:

Sketch Saturday ~ sketch

Ladybug crafts ~  Love is in the air

Raise the bar ~ Heart

Papertake Weekly ~ Have a heart

The Crazy Challenge ~ Lots of Love

Incy Wincy Designs ~ Love

Allsorts ~ Love

Thanks for calling by have a fun day,

Love cherie   //*.*\\

   

Mo's Digital Pencil Challenge #18

Hello to you all this morning and thanks for dropping by.

The challenge  at Mo's Digital Pencil blog is,  All about Colours.  To use pink, white, red and include a heart on your project. 
There are two other challenges I would like to enter this card for.
  Cupcake Craft Challenge   the theme this week is Keep It Simple
 Crazy for Challenges the theme is RED

I didn't want to do a valentines card, so I did one that could be Mother's Day or Birthday for mum.
My sister and I had a fabulous couple of days together this week. We worked on this card and a calender project that she made at a workshop at Whichcraft,  i'll add a picture at the end. Why don't you drop in there and have a look at their workshops you won't be disappointed!!

I chose the gorgeous I Love Ya, Tomorrow digital image, she is so fabulous to colour. The greeting on the heart garland was printed on the computer stamped and punched out. I  then threaded them and  beads on to some metalic thread. My Cricut machine cut the 'mum' letters, it doesn't come out as often as it should. I have to keep getting it out of the box and to use it.

Card ingredients.
I love ya tomorrow digital image
copic markers
Basic Grey paper marrakech - I adore this set of paper.
Navy card Paper Mill

Stamp on hearts stars by Lavinia stamps

This is the calender that Jac and I made just want to share it with you.

Thank you so much for looking have a brilliant day.

Love Cherie   //*.*\\
