A Card for Sundays with Santa "A Card for a Child"

Good Morning Crafters, well I dont know if you heard it in your neck of the woods but at 1.30 am this morning there was a torrential downpour of rain yet again and it woke both hubby and myself up, its getting like a jungle in my garden as the grass and everything else is growing so fast, even the Forest is already over grown with ferns, I dont think theres enough sheep to chomp it down, the wild boar dont even touch that just turns over the grass instead, and of course its causing a lot of trouble when it gets into playing fields and gardens as you can image they do terrible damage. Now they want to cull them, not sure how they got dumped but theyve certainly reciprocated since they were dropped of on the side of the road a number of years ago.
Anyway Ive getting of the subject this weeks theme on Sundays with Santa is making a card for a child and I used this sweet Sugar Nellie image and printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her. Afterwards I used my Nestabilitie Labels Die No.1 to cut it out and a fancy one for the mount.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card the papers are from Trimcrafts "Santa's Workshop" and I have used two papers the first is a white background with houses on and the second is a stripped one and I have placed that across the center and a mesh ribbon around the center was then attached to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was then placed in the center and the diecut sentiment down the right hand side.
This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-

Anyway to cheer you up I thought you might like to see what I have been upto, this is one of the Pip images from Sugar Nellie and I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I cut her out with my Nestabilitie Die and a fancy one for the mount, I also used a smaller one from the same die set for the mount for my sentiment, which was printed from my computer and cut to fit the mount.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" and the first mount is blue card and the papers are from Sweetshoppes "Dare 2be Different" digi paper set, I have used three papers for the card and layered them up as shown, I then placed the mounted image towards the left with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

I used the papers again to create my card and I used a Tonic border punch for the middle strip, in the corners I have used Die-namics corner die and on top I have placed the violet sprays in three of the corners. To finish of I have placed a banner Sentiment in the bottom left hand corner a Die-namics Die.

Challenge #119 - "Your Favourite Colour Combo" - Pink Gem Challenges

Before I start my post I want to apologise to all my followers for not visiting them as often as I have done, but I have a problem with my left eye, I have PVD which means the jelly attached to my retina has become detached and it causes me a problem with my vision at the moment I keep getting huge floaters in my direct vision and having to try and look through it is like looking through a thick net curtain, so as I said if I dont visit you to often you will know why.

The sentiment is also cut out with the small die and then mounted on a slighty larger one.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of purple card and the papers are from one of the Pink Gems Digi Papers you will find a fabulous choice here, I used three different shades of pink and purple and layered them up as shown, I then wrapped a piece of lilac web ribbon around my card and attached to the back of the first mount then placed a pink ribbon on top and did the same with the ends of this.

Janet of Pink Gem Designs is one of the most generous people I know being on one of her Design Teams gives you the chance to play with all her gorgeous images and this one is one of the latest its title is "Chloe in a Apple Tree" and you will find them here, and I printed her onto white card.
I then coloured her with my copic pens and cut her out with my Nestabilitie Dies, I have used a larger one for the mount which is out of green card. The base card is a 7"x 7" white card and this is because is its a rather large stamp and I felt it would show better on a larger card.
The first mount is green card and the papers are from again Pink Gem and this set is called "Spring Time" and you will find them here. I have used four of the papers and layered them across the card by using a Tonic border punch on the edges, I used the colours from my mounted image to pick the papers that worked with it the best.
I then layed my mounted image in the center and the sentiment is in the bottom right hand corner, and with the left over papers from the same design set I have used the Daisy die from Die-namics and punched out several sets and with my large ball embossing ball created the flowers that have been layered up in the bottom left hand corner, these were stuck in several layers and stuck to the card with silicone glue and punched leaves.
And to finish of I have used several pale green pearls in the other three corners just to balance it out.

As you will know we have at last picked our new DT members and our new Team member will start on the 9th April and I will introduce her more on that Challenge, anyway todays one is as always sponsored by Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30.

but this is providing you have used one of the products on your card, and even if you havent they will still give you 3 digis of your own choice, but I do urge you to pay a visit to The Paper Shelter website and see for yourself what fabulous value their products are so do please pop over here and see for yourself.
And now for my card.

For my image I have used "Spring Breeze" and you will find her here, and I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.34 and a fancy one for the mount out of pink card. The sentiment is one I googled and printed it onto white card then used another label die to cut it out.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card and the papers I have used are from The Paper Shelters "Spring Zoe" digi paper set and you will find them here. I used a pink spot one for the first mouont and the second is a green one and on the edge I have used Tonic Butterfly Border punch down it, then on top is another pink card which was also mounted onto pink card and placed down the center.
I then used some green card and the La La Land tree die and placed in on top of this mount and stuck the mounted image in the center and the sentiment down below on the left hand side. To finish of I have used several pink flowers and placed them on the tree diecut.
Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you will then want to take part in our "Spring Delights" Challenge.

Pink Gem Challenges - Challenge #115 - Mothers Day, Birthday or Special Lady

Please can you scroll down for the ABC DT Challenge Card as its below this one.
Good Morning all my faithful followers, I have some fabulous news to pass on to you, I was asked by Janet of Pink Gem Designs if I would like to join one of her Design Teams and I was thrilled to say "Yes Please" and today is the launch of my first Challenge and I sincerely hope that you like the result.

And of course Pink Gem Designs is the sponsor of this Challenge and the theme this time is to create a card for either your "Mother, Birthday or for a Special Lady" in your life, unfortunately I lost my mum a few years ago so I made my card for a special friend instead, and here is my card.

And I even got my own watermark and that is another story, I had quite a job to sort that out, but now its as easy as anything. For my image I have used this gorgeous "Grace with a Rose" and you will find her here, I have printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards I used a Marianne die to cut her out.
The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and the first mount is a piece of pink card, the papers I have used are from Pink Gem Designs its Fleur to Lis design and unfortunately it does not look as if Janet has this in her shop anymore, I have used two of the papers a pink and lime green which I used a border punch from Tonic to punch the two sides and then laid it across the card then used a piece of pink ribbon and a piece of lace and attached it to the back of the first mount.
The mounted image was then placed in the middle of the card, and the sentiment is again one of the ticket stamps from Pink Gem Designs and you will find them here, I mounted it onto another piece of pink card and placed across the bottom right hand corner.
To finish of I have used several sized roses and placed them in the top left hand corner and these were attached to the card with silicone glue and I also used punched out rose leaves underneath the roses.
Now that you've seen my Card I do hope that you will now go and pay a visit to the Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Pink Design Team have created for you inspiration and hopefully you to will take part in this "Mothers Day, Birthday, or Special Lady" Challenge.
