October Inspiration for 12 Months of Christmas

 

 

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles and images that came with a magazine. 

I followed a tutorial for a Double Panel Card by Iced Images. 

Merry Christmas

The optional twist for the April Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas is Vintage.  This is my midway inspiration for the challenge.

I have used three papers from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  I'm not sure of the source of the stamped image but the sentiment is by Sassy's LLC.

I followed a tutorial for a Joyfold card by Beccy's Place.

Share your love with family and friends

 It is the start of the November Challenge at Path of Positivity.  The optional theme for November is Power of Words: Friends/Family

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.   The images at the top of the page are by Sassy Studio Designs but I'm unsure of the source of the three images at the bottom of the page (they may or may not be by the same artist). Colouring is with copic markers.  I also inked a text stamp and applied that on top of the digital paper.

Thank You

The July Challenge at Incy Wincy Designs is Round/Circles and/or Handdrawn/Sewing.  

I have used both options with my card - the card is circular with a circular image piece plus has hand drawn stitching at the edge of the image die cut.

I have used a digital paper from Bearly Mine Designs.  The image is stamped and embossed (no idea of the source of the image) and the sentiment is a sticker.

I followed a sketch from Sweet Sketch Wednesday:

Happy Birthday

 There was a choice of two images for the Progressive Freebie Challenge at The Outlawz.  I decided I would use both of them:

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The images are both by Sandra from The Outlawz and the sentiment is stamped (not sure of the source).  Colouring is with copic markers and Kindy Glitz.  I also added some gems in sets of three.

Dear Ice Cream

The latest Anything Goes Challenge is now running at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.  For this challenge, the sponsor is All Dressed Up.

I have used an image by All Dressed Up called Summer Ice Cream.

I also used a sentiment from Create with TLC and a digital paper (source unknown).  Colouring is with copic markers.

Candy Cane Hugs and Christmas Kisses

This post is a couple of days late as I have been mostly off the computer for the past week.

Anyway, this is my inspiration card for the midway of the April Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas.  The optional twist is Christmas Candy - and I've loaded my card with candy canes!

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles.  Mine came out more blue rather than the teal from the 12 Months of Christmas posts.  My printer seems to have a mind of it's own when printing some colours.  I also used an image that I'm not sure of the source of and a sentiment by From The Heart Stamps.  Colouring is with copic markers.

Think of the Beauty around you and be Happy

Beginning of March means it is time for a new Anything Goes Challenge at Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.  For this challenge, we are sponsored by All Dressed Up.

I have used an image from All Dressed Up called Easter Chicks.

I also used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  Colouring is with copic markers.  I added some flower ephemera and a digital sentiment.

Birthday

It is the start of March - and the start of the latest challenge at Incy Wincy Designs.  The themes for March are Birthday and/or Funny/Humourous.

I struggle with humourous cards so opted for the Birthday option:

I have used a digital paper from Far Far Hill.  The image is from The East Wind and the sentiment is a clear stamp (from an old magazine I think).  Colouring is with copic markers.  I also dotted around some pearls.

Enjoy The Ride

 Midway Inspiration time for the November Challenge at Path of Positivity.  The optional twist this month is "Inspired by Texture".  I chose the texture of tyre treads and represented it by the tractor image.  I was even lucky enough to find a tyre tread patterned  paper.

I have used a digital paper from PixelScrapper.  The image is from Fred She Said and the sentiment is from unknown (forgot to write the source but I'm pretty certain it is a digital stamp).  Colouring is with copic markers.

I have used an image from Dr Digi's House of Stamps called DJ Dad Rock.

 I'm running a bit late with my DT posts.  I have two that should have been posted earlier today but I've been battling a headache all day and this is the first that I've felt up to spending any time on the computer.

This post is for the midway point of the August Challenge at 12 Months of Christmas.  The optional twist this month is stars

I have used a digital paper from Décosse's Dynamite Doodles. The image is from Doodle Pantry and I'm not sure of the source of the sentiment.

I found quite a few challenges that would work with this image so have combined them for this card.
