Hi all you may have noticed that I changed my blog look and so easy with the new blogger design section.  All you need to do is click on the template you want and the layout just click the button and hey presto no more copying or changing the HTML.  So I thought I would have a change and this is it the layout I chose, so if you want to change to a 3 column blog just have a look in your dashboard section and you will see the new 'Design' heading. Oh and you won't lose anything in the sidebars.

Anyway onto my card which I am entering into the following challenges

 Pixie Cottage - Sketch

Fun 2 Stamp - Summer

Fab n Funky - Summer In Colour

I have used a H&S image sent to me as a RAK from a fellow blogger/friend I have coloured her with Copics then cut her out with a Scalloped Nestie, the papers are from a new pad that I bought it is K&Co.

I added some butterflies and flowers I hope you like it see you later.

Sparkles

Hi all this card I have made using a brand new image from Stitchy Bear at OSAAT.  There was a DT call which has now closed and as I had no ink until late yesterday I was unable to print this little beauty off until last night and this is what I created.

I have used the colour pink as the predominate colour as I remembered there was a challenge asking for this. I have used a mixture of Papermania and Basic Grey papers and followed last week's sketch from Friday Sketchers.

I coloured Sparkles with promarkers, Copics and Sakura pens I have used diamond stickles on her dress and stamens also on the butterflies and flowers.

I am also entering this into the following challenges:

Creative Cottage - Going Pink

Die Cut Dreams - Angels

Our Creative Corner - Summer

Quirky Crafts - Girly Girl

I hope you like it hugs to all see you later.

Friday Fun at Fairy Knoll #2

We have our second challenge at Fairy Knoll today and is based on the sketch below.

My card this week is using the gorgeous image of Samantha I have gone for a Red and Yellow colour theme for a change.

I have coloured the image with Copics I have used my graphics programme to place Samantha in the frame along with her name.  I have used chalks for the background, since the challenge at Digital Tuesday I have been using these chalks so much for shading backgrounds they are so effective.

I have used Basic Grey papers and some red mirror card which I have embossed with my new Butterfly folder I also added some card candy and flowers.

I hope you like my card and please come and play with us at the Fairy Knoll we would really love your support.

Big Hugs to all.

Digital Tuesday # 62 DT Card

Hi all today sees the start of a new challenge at Digital Tuesday and this weeks theme has been chosen by Amy and she would like to see us use chalks on our cards/projects.

Our sponsor this week is Maljen's and the winner will receive 4 free Digi Images.

Here is my DT card

I chose an image that I have had for sometime from Character Cafe called Relaxing Rosebud and coloured her with Copics. 

After searching high and low i finally found my chalks which I got some years ago but have never used.  They came with the stick thing that has a claw on the end to pick up the little cotton balls. I used the shimmer pack and coloured the sky and grass with them also the yellow circle which I have embossed just added some to the raised parts, unfortunately the camera does not show them up as well as real life.

I took a close up hoping they would be more prominent but not sure it worked.  The papers are Papermania I added some gems and a few butterflies.  This is one of those cards that I can't make up my mind about I think I like it but not to sure.

I was challenged with this card as I have not used the chalks before but I think I will be using them again especially for shading the backgrounds I just need more practice lol.

I hope you will accept our challenge this week and come play with us at Digital Tuesday we just love to see you.

Hugs to all.
