Light Source Inspiration for The Colour Crazy Challenge Blog

Hi everyone, I hope you are all well.

I had my operation and was quite sick for a while, back to work now though, although not out of the woods yet, I think I may need another op now.

Anyway, this week it is mt teams turn to post you some inspiration for the Light Source Challenge at the Graph'it Marker blog .... but don,t worry if you don,t feel up to the challenge of using a specific light source you can just make a card containing pink and link right up!!

And don,t forget you can use any marker!!

For this challenge I decided to have my light source coming from the top right and I used the super sassy Dollie Daydream Birthday Digi image from Polkadoodles.

 I decided to give my card a retro 60's feel and crocheted a mustard frame around my image to match with the floral papers (MME Unforgettable)


                                        

I hope you can tell where my light source is coming from :D

Graphit's used:

Skin: 3120, 4155, 4150, 4115, 4135 (cheeks)

Hair: 3290, 3255, 3250, 3245, 3210

Jeans: Cool Greys 9100-9108

Top: 2140, 2120, 2110, 2105

Green: 7290, 7270, 7250

Shadows: cool grey 9100, 9102,9103

I finished off with just a few embellies as the frame took up most of the card lol.

I hope you like it, pop on over to the blog to check out the other DT makes and don't forget to enter your Pink / Light source makes while you're there too.

Polkadoodles Challenge - Tag you're it!

Happy happy friday everyone!

By the time you are reading this I should be at the Northern General having my much awaited operation ... eeeeek!

Fingers crossed all will go well and I should start seeing a huge improvement in my health , its been a tough few years to say the least.

Right then on to business, this week it's myself and my lovely teams turn to post you some inspiration for the current challenge over at the Polkadoodles blog.

This fortnight we would love to see your tags!!!

Here's what I made:

I used the adorable Ballerina from the Work and Pay 2 collection, she is also available on her own as a digi image here.

I coloured her up using my brand new Prisma Pencils woooooooo! those of you who know me will know the disaster that happened with my old pencils and why i'm so pleased I finally have some more :)
I didn't use any sansador or anything i just let the pencils blend themselves, I need more practice though, its been a long time.

I used the papers from the CD too and then added ooodles of embellies from WOC and The Ribbon Girl.

I hope you like it!

Have a great weekend!

Winston Mini Album

Hi everyone

Just popping in to share one of my DT makes for the brand new CD release from the very talented Nikky Hall at Polkadoodles.

If you were watching Create and Craft on Sunday you will have seen the gorgeous Winston and his adorable friend Etty and all the wonderful samples made by my uber talented teamies.

You can pre-order your CD now here.

This CD is rammed with the most adorable images, papers embellies, cutting files and so much more .... you really need it in your crafty stash.

I made a few samples here is the first (warning picture heavy)

I made a mini album using 6x6 Kraft card blanks and envelopes, the envelopes made the pockets and the cards made the inserts and tags.  I added a cardboard spine and front and back covers.  I also made a box to hold it.

I used the papers from the CD to mat and layer each page, I added tags to be used as space for journaling.

jou

Each page has a large pocket in the side for pictures to be added front and back.

There is also a teeny tiny photo wallet in each page and I used the toppers to cover these.

The book is embellished with flowers from the CD and on the inside front cover I used one of the cutting files to title the book "Friends"

Phew are you still with me lol!

I loved using the CD to make this album.
