Hobbies!

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Outlawz challenge which asks as it's theme hobbies. Of course it's easy - until I started to make the card and thought of the other things I like to do, so I included them on the card, well some of them!
Digital / hybrid card making, colouring, stamping, die cutting. Too little! so if I have time  I'll make another at least. The beautiful papers by "We are 3" I won in an Outlawz challenge the other week.

Fishing you

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Outlawz progressive challenge. I love this image, it's such a cute image and a typical little boy I think.

Fishes!

Hi Everyone,  a card today of "Fishes" LOL. The progressive challenge at the Outlawz has both these fish as images to use, a zentangle and a simple image, I loved playing and colouring these. I found the perfect paper, (I think) for them, which is one paper out of 2 sets I won in a challenge a few weeks ago. The angle of the photo has somehow made it look like the layered background paper isn't straight, I used my "Perfect Layers" ruler to do it so I know it is, why do cameras do that, OK! why do I take photos at the wrong angle? LOL

After layering it onto the card, I sprayed it with CC's Spray and Sparkle, so it has a lovely all over sparkly effect.

Beauty

Hi Everyone, my post today is for the Outlawz Progressive challenge and we have the most beautiful image from Andrea at Sheepski Designs.

I wanted this image to be light and floaty, don't ask me why, I'm quite the opposite, I wanted her to merge with the background and I think I got there in the end.

After finding paper I liked from a mini digital kit, I followed the colours of it, colouring it digitally, then added a gradient overlay, I added the elements from the kit, PS brushed a shadow effect to the image all in PS. Because I think she's beautiful, I added the word "beauty" then printed it out.

I used grey and red card which luckily matched the image, then die cut into the card and cut an edge from the same die to add to the bottom, now I'm not sure if I should have done that, oh! well it's done now.

I used template layout 703 by Marisa Lerin at Pixelscrapper,  then doubled it to make a 2 pages.

Sun Shiney day

Hi Everyone, today I have the image from the Progressive challenge at the Outlawz, which this month is from Di's Digis. such a cutie. I digitally coloured it, then fussy cut it out and layered and 3D'd it onto the sunflower frame and paper from Audrey Jean Roberts I added the paper to the card at a jaunty angle and used the Uniball gold glitter pen around it., I used a Tattered lace die under the sentiment from Create with TLC.  For the insert I used the same paper and image and another sentiment from Create with TLC

Mother card

Hi Everyone, I hope I didn't disappoint too many of you with the ending of my story, but hope you had a good laugh, which was the intention.

On to today's card.  This is the card I did for the Outlawz Progressive Challenge, this month. We've been given a beautiful image by Andrea Norris to play with.

The first thing I did was search for a sketch, then the embossing, colour in the image with my limited colours of Promarkers, layer and add ribbon, place onto card. I'm quite pleased with it, although I really have to practice colouring with my markers. I think I was supposed to colour all as flowers, but I added green for leaves at the bottom. Uploading the sketch I realised I did it in reverse, LOL. It was supposed to be the centre panel, not the outside, oh! well it turned out OK.

Country Girl

Hi Everyone, hope you've missed me? I succumbed to the dreaded flu, and as I am older it decided to really hit me hard and leave me feeling a little older, weaker and a few pounds lighter! ME! can't believe it, I'm as strong as an ox most times. Just as well I'm not speaking this, as you wouldn't be able to hear me, yep! I've no voice, hubby is pleased LOL.

Anyhow, enough of me, I didn't enter the Outlawz sketch week before last, so decided I should at least try this week and a beautiful Spring day gave me a lift to make this card, it's a card for one of my Great Niece's birthday which is this week, I thought at one time it would have to be a bought card!!!

I followed the sketch (loosely) laid it out in PS and used a digi stamp which I coloured in PS. I added a punch each side. The image is so like my GN I had to use it.

Red Roses

Hi Everyone, so nice to be doing something different for you today, well I think it's different LOL.

The Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz has this fabulous rose image by Sandi Hugget, as you know hand colouring is not my favourite thing, but I think this is OK, although it seems there is more shading in real life somehow.  I cut card made with a cut file by Shirley's Cards I had this fabulous card shape as a freebie from here

I coloured the rose digi with my Spectrum Noir markers,I embossed the card with an Die'sire Rose embossing folder, cut out the shape of the rose and added it to the card shape, I coloured 3 of the left over heart shapes and layered them into one. I placed red card on the back so it could be seen through the cut out. I had to search through my stash for card that matched the coloured rose and found a piece big enough to add to the card - whew!

Another Christmas card

Hi Everyone and my fabulous new followers, thank you for your support.

I have another Christmas card that I have popped in this weekend. I won't be doing any crafting for a few days as we have visitors, well not really visitors, they are my #3 Bruvva and SIL, so plenty of laughs and gossip.

The image by "All Dressed Up Digi Stamps" is the freebie on the Progressive Challenge at the Outlawz and the sketch I have used is also from the Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz. I don't know if it against the rules to enter them with one card, but with with family here I won't have time otherwise to enter.

Have a good weekend, See you next week. :)

Swinging Snowman

Hi Everyone a quick post of a quickly done card that I made for the Outlawz sketch challenge. I am always struggling to get this done, time goes so very quickly when your having fun doesn't it?

Anyhow, my card was mad with a ready coloured image from Dearie Dolls, I love her work, I don't use them enough. I made the bottom shape in my Cameo and shortened a part of a file from Shirley's Cards, even the photo was taken in a hurry at night, at least it shows the OTT sparkle.

Different!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Everyone, today I have something so different for me. This image is on the Freebie Progressive challenge at Outlawz and not an image I would normally choose, but hey! it's a challenge isn't it and I was up for it?

When I started colouring it (in PS) he reminded me of a Pirate in the film "Pirates of the Caribbean", so that is the theme I went with.

Then started looking at him more and saw that he is a very sorry and sad soul, could be something to do how people look at him with the markings on his face? There are a lot of people going around with tattoos on their faces these days and have that same sad look on their faces. Just my thoughts again! However as the sentiment says, "fearlessly be yourself" isn't it something some of us are afraid to be, I know a couple of people who are going through life not comfortable being who they are.  Gosh this image has brought the philosophical side of me, how strange!

Anyhow let's get back to the card, as I said I went with the Pirate theme and when doing a search through my files I came across this sentiment and thought it suited him so well. Then thought he could be on a poster so went with a wall background. I printed and fussy cut all the images, added gold Stickles and 3D gloss to his feather ornaments in his hair, I 3D'd the images.

This image set my mind working in all angles. For that I have to thank SLS lines digi stamps for setting me thinking how people actually feel instead of how they look.

Christmas card

Hi Everyone, I'm following the Art by Miran Progressive Challenge and the image for this month is Eirwen, which I love, especially as I recognise this name as a Welsh one :). I am still a VERY new hand colourer and I have used SN's on this.

After I had coloured her I wasn't that happy with the fur effect, so thought I would see how others did their fur colouring and came across this beautiful card   I added more colouring, however, I am still struggling with folds etc, but I thought not too bad to add to a card. I cut her out with an oval die and the patterned die, printed 3 border images, from PS, on another piece of card to add behind and then added a debossed pattern, which I thought matched the die to the edge of the card.

Bear-thday

Hi Everyone, a little bear-thday card for you today, LOL sorry for the pun. I followed the Outlawz challenge sketch and used a little bear that was sent to me by a blog friend. Krewella Kreations, isn't he cute? A simple card for me. I coloured the bear in PS and used PS overlays to use colours that were required in the Scrapbook.com card challenge I cut all the pieces and layered or 3D'd onto the card.

Flowers everywhere!

Hi Everyone, a card with flowers, flowers and more flowers today. Deedee's Digis is sponsoring a challenge over at Outlawz Challenges we were given a sketch to follow and this is my version of it.

I used the "Grown with Love" kit by Deedee's Digis. I used the flower pot, one of the outline images in the kit and coloured it myself in PS. I followed the shapes of the sketch in PS and printed it all out to add and layer onto my blank card. I used a die for the flowers and added Perlen Pen drops to the centres and to the bow centre. The bow is a cut file. You can see more of the detail in the photo below which was taken as the wind caught it LOL.
