GDT with Colour Crazy

 

Today I'm sharing something a little special, my first creation as a GDT at Colour Crazy Challenge :)

We've no sponsor this month so I've chosen to use For You from SheepSki Designs.  You can find it here in the shop.

The image has been coloured with Copics and then fussy cut.

We've lots of laters on this card with Design papers from 13Arts, First Edition and Joycrafts.

Added are a wooden floral embellishments, a few silver dragonfly charms, some gems and a sentiment coloured with Copics.

Hope you like my first GDT inspiration :)

Turtles! :)

So we have our new challenge starting today at Outlawz Sketch, with our wonderful sponsor Di's Digi Stamps!

I'm using Turtle Parade for my inspiration today.  The image has been coloured with Copics to create a single layer card!  When I printed the image I added a few more turtles to fit in with the sketch :)

Here's our sketch for the next two weeks.

I've done something really different with my card this time.  I usually add lots of layers and design papers. But when I saw the image and sketch it inspired my to make a single layered card!

So the moon is the circle and the extra turtles make up the flower border int he sketch.  There's also a tiny silver star charm instead of the ribbon.

Of course I've messed with it and added some embossing enamel, my favourite for starry night scenes.  Then there's the sentiment made up from Tim Hotlz Stickers.

Thanks for popping by today.  We hope to see you at the challenge

Quick Flump Card

I've made a very quick and easy card using Little Heart today :)You can find this in my Etsy shop here and get 10% off all images at checkout by quoting SKIANDREA10.

The image has been coloured with Copics.  I didn't know what to do with it then and ended up fussy cutting it out.

The card consists of stacked layers of white card distressed with a Tonic solutions tool.

The one with the sentiment on has had embossing enamel sprinkled on then heated.  I've then added some tiny wooden hearts up the right hand side.

Finally I've added the little flump onto the top

Sometimes you just need a quick card ;)

Thanks for popping by for a look

Getting Ready for Christmas

Uggg I was feeling so pants yesterday with a migraine headache that I didn't feel up to putting the words in here last night, so I just posted the images originally.

I'm feeling MUCH better today so here I am to tell you what I've done.

This creation is for Fussy and Fancy Fridays!  Our theme for the next two weeks is Christmas in July.

The little cutie you can see here is called Ready for Christmas.  You can find it here in my shop where you can also get 10% off everything by quoting SKIANDREA10 at checkout :)

The images has been coloured with Copics, a black polychromos pencil and a white gel pen.  Around the image I've scattered some embossing enamel.

My design papers from Maya Design, First Edition and Studio Light have all been distressed with a Tonic Solutions tool.

To the right of the image you can see some banners cut with a La La Land die.  I've used the pink heart from this around the image and cut some more for the banner centres out of grey design paper.  Underneath the image in a piece of grey ribbon I got from Crafty Ribbons.

There's a laser cut Christmas tree which I got in Hobby Craft years ago (my last one).  I've added a few pink gems to this.  To finish off there are a few pearls and a wood chip Christmas sentiment.

Hope you like my non traditional coloured card for the theme

See you at the challenge :)

Birthday balloons

Yes here I am again telling you all I'm sponsoring Outlawz Sketch - that's because I'm the sponsor for the whole of August :D

You can find all my images in my shop on Etsy SheepSki Designs - click here

I've used Flump n Tic for my inspiration today, coloured with Copics, ProMarkers and polychromos pencils.  You should be able to see from this first picture that I've sketched some clouds into the background too.

This is our sketch for today

I've flipped the sketch and instead of using some ribbon I've drawn some more balloons.  These I coloured in pink to match with the theme of the rest of the card - hopefully making the single blue balloon pop!

The edges of the image were treated with some Milled Lavender ink from Tim Holtz before mounting it onto some black card stock.

The birthday sentiment is a Spellbinders die and I've used a couple of black gems

Design paper are from Maja Design.

And that ladies and gents is it :D

Hopefully see you over at the challenge.  AND if you want to call in at my Facebook group click here!

The distressed design papers are from First Edition and Joy Crafts.  Behind the image you can see a Little Darlings die cut using some white card stock.  There's also a section of white card stock cut with a Matha Stewart punch.
