Petal Lu DT July Face book challenge

Hi everyone!

It has been so hot here this week and I must say its all too much for me (unless I am on holiday abroad by a pool of course!) It has been over 30 Degrees every day this week and the air conditioning at work has been broken ,now with a glass building no opening windows and 600 plus computers in there it has made for a very sweaty working week!

I hope you are having some good weather where you are :)

So today I am sharing my DT card for Petal Lu, the challenges are now on Facebook here.

So here is my make:

I used one of my new Gorjuss Girl Stamps, I adore these images! I coloured her up with my Prisma Pencils and used my aqua pencils for the sky.

I used the co-ordinating Gorjuss papers to matt and layer with craft Cardstock

The sentiment stamp and die are by Simon Says Stamp and of course I finished off with my beautiful blooms from the Petal Lu Store.

I hope you like my card and it has inspired you to join in the challenge!

Happy Friday all!!!

Today will especially happy for me as it is my birthday!! although I am writing this post on Wednesday evening so I can't tell you what I got just yet but may pop back with an extra post to let you know!

So today it is Team B's turn to give a little bit of extra inspiration for the current challenge over at the newly re-named Colouring Crazy Challenge (previously the Graph'it Marker challenge), this fortnight we would like to see you use your marker to create shadow effects....and remember any markers will do!!!!

Yet again we have some amazing prizes up for grabs so I do hope you can join in!

Here's what I did:

I did get a few early birthday presents from my lovely hubby, he treated me to the rest of the stamps and other goodies from the Gorguss range to complete my collection so I used one of my lovely new stamps and the matching papers.

I used my Grand Decorative oval nesties to cut out the image, I used my Graph'it markers to colour the image and also to create shadows and a background to make her pop of the page a bit more.

For final touches I used my Graph'it Shake white marker to add little dots all over the image and for borders around the card.

I used lace, ribbon and a corner die to finish off the card.

I hope you like it, I really enjoyed making it and finally feel like I am getting back into the swing of this crafting lark again :)

Why not pop over to the challenge to check out my colour list and see the other inspiration from my lovely teamies.

Gorjuss in the garden

Evening all, how are you? after all this time i though it was about time i asked ;-D.

I'm sharing a card today made with one of the very first stamps i ever bought, i stamped her and coloured her as soon as i bought her but she never made it onto a card.  i found the poor thing face down under a pile of scraps so i dusted her off, added some shading with my prisma's (my earlier colouring had no shading lol) and here she is in all her glory.

I used centura pearl ivory card stock to make my base and matted prima fairy belle papers with green centura pearl.

I fussy cut my image for a change to create a little scene, i used lots of dies for my little han made flowers and leaves to which i added pearls and butterflies (all made with yet more centura)

The little sentiment tag part of the fabby set from LOTV - my fave buy from the Stamp Magic show.

I finished of my card with some stickles, liquid pearls and a bow, the inside has been decorated to compliment the front.

I do hope you like my little card.

Thank you all so very much for visiting me and any comments you may leave.

Hugs xx Cara xx
