A Jug of Daisies...

 Good afternoon, crafty friends! I have now added my Jug of Daisies digistamp and precoloured mini kit to my Etsy shop...consisting of black and pale digital stamp images, precoloured image and 3 coordinating backing papers...

 

This card uses the precoloured image, printed at Photo Size 4 x 6in. and the 3 coordinating papers...

• 6x6in card base
• Yellow daisy paper - 14cm square
• White - 12.5 x 8.5cm
• Yellow dot - 12 x 8cm
• Cream - 14 x 4.5cm
• Plaid - 14 x 4cm
• Brown - 10.8 x 9.8cm
• Image - 10.5 x 9.5cm

I printed off  2 of the image and decoupaged the jug body and some of the flowers. The edges of the papers were inked with Vintage Photo and Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxides and I added a touch of glitter to the leaves.

I'm really pleased with how this pretty image turned out and despite being precoloured in golden hues for the time of year, it also looks great in different colour ways - in blues, like my DT card for Passion for Promarkers (you can visit the post HERE)...

...or as traditional white and yellow daisies. Plus, why not print an extra digital stamp, put the image back through your printer and over print a patterned paper to paper piece the jug, as I have above.

Colour list - 

• Flowers - Blender, Blossom, Buttercup, Mustard, Gold
• Leaves - Apple, Grass, Forest Green
• Jug - Blender, Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Surf Blue, Cool Grey 2 for the shadow
  

I hope you like my latest design and don't forget to let me know if you create something using one of my images, as I love to see other people's creations!

This set is available to buy now in my Etsy shop for just £2.40...

Passion for Promarkers - Shades of Blue...

 Good afternoon, crafty friends! We have a brand new challenge starting today over at Passion for Promarkers and the lovely Shelly has chosen a colour theme of 'Shades of Blue'...we will accept, skin, hair and a little of other colours, but the dominant colour should be blue.

We're being sponsored by Di's Digi Stamps who are offering one lucky winner a $6 voucher to spend in their online store...

Don't forget, to be in with a chance of winning the prize, you MUST use your Letraset/Winsor & Newton mediums and follow the challenge theme - it also really helps if you can let us know where you've used them, for example, coloured with Promarkers...

For my card, I used a new image which will soon be available in my Etsy store called 'Jug of Daisies'. I coloured it up with my Pro/Flexmarkers using the following colours :

• Flowers - Pastel Blue, Arctic Blue, China Blue, Indigo Blue, Buttercup, Mustard, Gold, Henna
• Leaves - Apple, Grass, Forest Green
• Jug - Pebble Blue, Cloud Blue, Blender, Khaki for shadow
  

I used the blue ticking paper form the cooker/washer set of Words at Play and a piece of blue floral daisy paper from my scrap drawers. A simple sentiment, dots of glitter and some flat back pearls is all I used to embellish and finish my card.

I'm slowly trying to get back into my crafting and social media...although I have been busy with card orders...we've just got a lot going on at home at the minute and so that has to take priority...

I hope you can find the time to play along with our challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your wonderful creations...

Passion for Promarkers - For a Male/Boy...

Good evening, Blogger buddies! I am having a hard time knowing what day of the week it is at the moment, so am a little late in posting...but it is Tuesday (I think!) and that means a brand new challenge over at Passion for Promarkers!

The lovely Marie is in the hostess chair and she's given us a challenge theme of 'For a Male or boy'... and although I tend to do more feminine cards, I do love to get out the bolder colours and ditch the pink once in a while...not too often, of course!

We are being sponsored by Dr Digi's House of Stamps, who not only have some fantastic images for those hard to make for males in our lives, but are also offering one lucky winner 2 digital images of their choice from the online store!

Just don't forget that to be in with a chance of winning the prize, you must use your Winsor & Newton, formerly Letraset, mediums and follow the challenge theme. It also really helps if you let us know where you've used them, so for example, 'coloured with Promarkers'...

We were lucky enough to get an image to play with and I picked out the characterful 'Mortimer Moose'...

I love the look on this little guy's face and despite having an I love you sign, I decided to play around a bit and turn it into a 'You're how old?!' sign!...

The papers were picked out of my scrap drawers and include the Aqua texture paper from the June set of A Year in Cards, the red polka dot from the Apple set of Words at Play, the Buttercup spot from my Buttercups mini kit and the Lighthouse plaid from Words at Play...

I thoroughly enjoyed colouring up this fun character, but sadly forgot to write down the colour list...my head is a little distracted just now!...but I love the way he turned out!

I hope you can find the time to play along with our fun challenge this week and look forward to seeing all of your fabulous makes! Until next time, happy crafting and sending hugs...
