Here Fishy Fishy

And my last post of the evening as I am starting to get square eyes and it's another Fathers Day card I only have another two to do after this yay.

I have used the fab new image Ricky from Tiddly Inks and coloured him with my Promarkers. I have used papers from a Dovecraft pad and some brown card stock from my stash. The sentiments are hand typed and yes that does say Grandalf. Charlie's Grandad said that is what he would like to be called when Charlie was born and it has kind of stuck. I added faux stitching to the image and the sentiments as they looked a little plain. I added some string and more of my natural ribbon, yep I still love the stuff. I also found a little metal fish charm which worked perfectly with the fishy theme so I added that to.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

Sketch Saturday - Sketch
Bearly-Mine - Charm
Cards For Men - Fathers Day

Tag to a Card

Well here is my third creation and I am so proud of this one:

The challenge over at Cupcake Craft This week is Make a Tag. I never make tags so I thought I would give it a go. I printed out my fab new image from Bugaboo Stamps and set to work with my Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I then raided my paper cupboard for the blue paper, it's one from a big pack that I got from Canada. I cut the tag shape myself. I had a rummage through the ribbon drawer and found the yellow ribbon and the blue and yellow polka ribbon. I could'nt decide what to use so I used both and made them into a bow. I then added some pearls and the little shells which I have had for years.

Then I thought to myself what am I going to do with a tag and the only thing I could think was to add it to a card. I raided the paper cupboard again and found some matching papers, these are from the same pad. Then added some more ribbon and some lace from my stash, some Candi, some buttons and some more pearls. I handtyped a sentiment and on that went. I also found a starfish while searching for the shells and it really wanted to be on the card so I pulled a thread off one of my ribbons and used it to tie the starfish on. It works well as you can't really see the thread but the starfish moves.

Anyway I hope you like this one as much as I do.

Forever For The Boy

Well here is my second card of the evening:

I have gone back to my trusty old Forever Friends CD for this one. My poor CD'S have been pushed aside a bit as I am really enjoying my colouring at the moment. But when I saw the challenge over at Cute Card Thursday was Planes, Trains and Automobiles I went straight to this image. I have used the Red, White and Blue colour theme for this one and have added lots of little jewels in the same colours. I have also added some ribbon and Candi and finished off with a metal sentiment.

Happy Christmas from Me to You

Good Evening all,

I hope you have all had a lovely long weekend and if you were celebrating today that you had a great time. We went for a little wander into our village, where they were having a street party. We could'nt stay for long though as Mister Grumpy also known as Charlie had not slept all morning so he was not in the best of moods. At least we went down so I suppose thats the main thing. I have a few cards waiting to be shared with you so I shall start and see how far I get. I may have to share the rest tomorrow. Well here is the first:

It's the monthly Holiday challenge over at Sassy Studio Designs and this month they wanted to see gold or silver. I chose silver and what better image to use than a Tatty Teddy. The papers are all from my stash and I have used some Candi, Ribbon and a metal sentiment.

Happy Birthday Sister

Good Morning all,

What a night little man is poorly with a virus and has had me up since 3:45am so I am you might say a little bit tired. He is asleep now bless him and will hopefully stay that way long enough for me to share this card with you.

I have used a super cute image from Bugaboo Stamps and coloured it with my old favs yep you guessed it Promarkers. The colouring did'nt go aswell as I would have hoped on this one but it is ok so it will have to do. I have used lots of random papers from my stash. I have had the text paper for years, gosh I think nearly 8 years as it was a pressie from my Aunty not long after I started card making. I have then used some bling and pearls to jazz it up a bit. Shes a very Jazzy girl my lil Sis. I have added one of my new ribbon flowers. I was'nt sure about these when I bought them but I think it works well with this card and as the theme over at LEJ is ribbons galore I added some more ribbon to the card. I finished the card with two little red buttons as it just needed something else. Now it is all ready to pop in the post.

Tiny Turtle

Here is my second DT card for 2 Cute Ink:

This little cutie is available today from 2 Cute Ink so go grab it. I have coloured it with my Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I have used the sketch from this weeks challenge over at Sassy Cheryl's and have gone for the colour theme of Purple, Green and Yellow. I have no idea what it is with me at the moment but I seem to be in a mix strange colours mood. I think it works ok though. The stamp is from my win over at Creative Inspirations, it arrived yesterday so I had to have a play to see what it was like and it's pretty fab. The papers are from Dovecraft Back to Basics and my stash. I have also used some lace and ribbon that I have had for a while. The flowers were from my bulk buy at the local craft warehouse.

Please head over to 2 Cute Ink's Blog to see what my fellow DT members have created.
