LEJ Designs challenge 10 - FABULOUS FLOWERS

Good Morning I hope you are all well! It is time for another challenge over on LEJ Designs and this week it is fabulous flowers... I hope that you will join in the fun with us - there are some great examples to inspire you from the rest of the DT this week...

This week I have chosen a SuzeJo image and coloured her with my pro-markers, adding shading where required and blending. I have inked the edges of the image with a dauber and I have mounted her on purple and black card... I have used a piece of very old DSP from my stash and also inked the edges in purple - the sentiment is from from a Stampin' Up! set.

I I have made the flowers from a woodware punch and just glued the layers...

here is a close up of the image

this is the edge of the card showing the layered flowers that I think is very effective and I love the effect that they create...

There are great prizes on offer this week as usual one winner will receive 3 images from the very talented LEJ designs 

and a set of dies from the equally talented Lindsay

good luck - and I hope you have as much fun as I did with this challenge!

I have mounted the sentiment on black and purple card. I used a strip of black card to add detail to the DSP used on the cad blank - just something a little different from ribbon (and it uses scraps up as well - less wastage!)

I would like to enter this card in the following challenges:

crafty card makers - make your own flowers

bunny zoes crafts - girls, girls, girls

make it monday - anything goes

my grafico - bright summer colours

I hope that you like this card and thank you for looking - I hope that you will take the time to join in the challenge this week as usual there are some great prizes on offer...

Happy Crafting

LEJ Designs...

Hello everyone... Have you missed me?? lol

Cornwall was amazing and my boys loved it!

Today I m sharing with you a card that I have made using one of the great images from LEJ designs - they are great to work with and I love all the ones that I have been lucky enough to work with so far! 

So the challenge today is 'summer's here!' and I decided that for this challenge I would use the image 'happy day' as soon a I saw it I knew that I would need to design a bright card!

and this week's challenge is perfect! Why not join in the fun on the challenge blog today!

This weeks lucky winner's will receive 3 digi images from LEJ designs and a £10 voucher for Joanna Sheen's website - what great prizes I hope you will join us and summer is so easy to create to - just think bright colour/ flowers/ sunshine! 

So my card today I coloured using pro-markers and I apologise for the black smudges on the image I have used a card that I think that the ink does not like and it is bleeding - as you can imagine I had to be super careful for the light colours! Another thing I have to try and fix... not sure how though!

I have used the colour combination cerise pink and purple - with a black card blank that I always think looks striking and the DSP that I have used with this card is a smirk one from a couple of years ago...

I have used a Stampin' Up! sentiment and inked the edges of this in black and purple to match in with the colour scheme of the card and I have also included some card candi...

I hope you like my card and thanks for looking...

Happy crafting

LEJ Designs... DT project

This weeks challenge was right up my street...

The winner of this weeks challenge will receive 3 digi images from LEJ Designs - the rooster that I have coloured for you is one of them! great for men's cards... Another lucky winner will receive a lot of stix2 goodies from Mishelfo Creative Crafting





The challenge this week is Recycle It... and apologies as this post is so late... I am on holiday in Cornwall and we are having a great time but the internet access is a bit hit and miss...
I have coloured the image using my copics and love the effect that these have created... For this weeks project I decided to use the watch that I bought hubby for Fathers Day... He loved it!
The recycled bit was the paper - this is from Stampin Up! and it is what they pack all your orders in (as you can imagine I have loads!)

I have wheeled a design on it... I then created a tag and decorated this and I have also used ribbon on the gift - that was on a gift that my friend recently sent me... I kept the colours co-ordinating using red, brown and black... I think that they look great together.
I hope that you like what I have created and we cannot wait to see what you create this week... Here's hoping that you love the challenge as much as we did!

So I apologise for the lateness of this post! but here you are...

I hope you will join in the challenge this week - everyone has something that they are able to use that is recycled!

Happy Crafting

LEJ designs... challenge 7 - male card

Good Morning everyone...

I am slowly getting back into my crafting although will be honest and say that this is not as fast as I would like! hehe

This morning I am sharing with you the card that I have made for LEJ Designs Challenge

The challenge this week is daddy dearest/ male card - why not join in the fun here here are some great prizes that are on offer as always - 

One winner will get 3 digi images from LEJ Designs

and a second winner will receive these!

What great prizes as always!

This image is perfect for that - I coloured the image with my copics and have outlined the image with my cool grey 1 pro-marker... I used bold colours to try and show off this image to its best! 

Here is a close up of the image

I have mounted this on yellow and red card stock and the on to a piece of DSP from the good life collection (forever friends) I have then added a die cut sentiment to the bottom of the card and this attached with dimensionals. I have inked the edges of the panels to make them stand out more. I also added 3 card candi to the card in the same colours as used on the card.

I hope you like my card and thanks for looking...

As always your comments are appreciated!
