Multiple Challenge Card

(I am not on my own computer as it is in the shop being repaired so sorry for the image quality I have no way to edit it correctly, the image will be updated once I get my computer back)

Been having a play with the Letraset AquaMarkers that I won from Passion for ProMarkers, I must admit at first I thought these are rubbish, but I made the fatal mistake of trying to use them like ProMarkers. Once I used them as they are intended (after e-mailing and watching a video done by the lovely Kirsty Wiseman)I have changed my mind and decided they are actually quite fab, still not as good as ProMarkers which are 5 mins and your image is done, they take time and effort to use but have wonderful results.

So this card I am entering into a few challenges.
Just magnolia week 71
Stampin for the weekend challenge 46
Sunday sketch and stamp challenge 36
A pocket full of posies week 6

Image is brand new Japanese Magnolia, coloured with AquaMarkers: for the skin I used eggshell with rose blush for the cheeks, hair is lamp black, dress is storm blue and periwinkle and the flowers are rose blush. Papers from Papermania and ribbon from stash with tumbled glass distress ink edges. Sparkly parts are from a Sakura gel pen.

Fathers day Card

The theme over at stampin for the weekend is ''Summer/Travel'' So while making this fathers day card for my mom to give to my Grandad I thought it would fit in perfectly, what better thing to do than visit the Moulin Rogue in summer!

Ink: Brushed corduroy distress ink
Stamps: Tim Holts, 7 Gypsies

Whiff of Joy & Stampin' for the Weekend Challenges

This weeks challenge at Stampin for the Weekend is to make a card for a male. Being my Nephews birthday in a few weeks I though perfect time to get my thinking cap on, I never know what to do for him and usually cop out and buy a card instead, cardinal sin I know! The Whiff of Joy part of the card is the sketch turned on it's side, in place of the girly flourish I put the Sinbad character and tried to keep it clean and simple, it was very hard!

Mojo Monday & Stampin for the Weekend

This weeks Mojo Monday is a fab sketch!! Think i will use this one again and again. I am also entering this card into the challenge at Stampin for the Weekend which is your to take inspiration from your favorite book.

Papers: Papermania
