A Vase Of Flowers

Hello Again
Today I'm back with my DT card for the new challenge at Cardz For Galz. This week we would like to see your 'Button and Bows' girly creations.
Another CAS design today, it seems to be my favorite style at the moment. The vase stamp is a very old Stampin Up stamp, that I have stamped in green in minus the flowers, that I have replaced with decorative buttons. I have hand sewn the buttons onto the card, before adding a co-ordinating bow and matting and layering with matching colours.
I hope this will inspire you to hop on over to the main blog, see the other DT creations and join in the fun.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
Crafty Gals Corner - anything goes
Retarte - anything goes
Artistic Inspirations - anything goes birthday
Craft-Dee BowZ - anything goes with a handmade bow
Muse - case Muse's card
Dragonfly and Dreams - ribbons and bows
and
Alphabet - R is for ribbon
Thanks once again for stopping by, and I'll be back soon with some more creations.

Gardener Jim

Hello
Today's creation is for the new challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty, and this time round we have a lovely easy 'Anything Goes' challenge. 
Our sponsors this week are Dr Digi and Karleigh Sue. I was lucky enough to be given a Dr Digi image to play with. I am going through a CAS phase at the moment, so I choose to colour just parts of the image with my ProMarkers, which I cut out, shaped and remounted onto another copy of the image. This made the adorable gardener 'pop' from the card - I really like this technique, and hope you do too.
Please hop on over to the main blog and check out the other DT creations, and join in the fun.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
Shopping Our Stash - go paperless

and

Mummy's Mummy

Hello
It's time for another new challenge at Cardz For Guyz (love this blog), and this time we would like to see your male orientated 'I Put A Spell On You' Halloween creations.
I had great fun making this card. The background was made using a Darice embossing folder. Once embossed, I ran a black pad over the raised areas to highlight the eyes, then I have used a purple ProMarker to colour in between. I have coloured the Mummy image, then cut it out and mounted it on foam pads to bring it forward. The card was finished with a sentiment and some googly eyes.
I hope you like my little creation.

Passion For ProMarkers - lots of layers

Pink and Pearly

Hello Again
Today I'm back with my DT card for the new challenge at Cardz For Galz. This week we would like to see your 'Pink and Pearly' girly creations.

The butterfly itself has been coloured with ProMarkers then encased in glamour dust to make the whole thing sparkle. I love the simplicity of the card overall, although sticking all the pearls and gems on took an absolute age lol.

New Adventure

Hello Everyone
How excited am I today, as it's finally time for the first challenge at the new blog Cardz For Galz.

#
The theme is 'Your Favorite Colour'.
My favorite colour at the moment is pale pink, and I have made a CAS card, using a very old roller stamp from Stampin Up. I have stamped the pigs more than once so I could layer them up to add some depth to the card, which was actually for my Mum's birthday, as she adores pigs.
I hope you will hop on over to the main blog to check out the other DT creations and say Hi,or better still come and join in the fun.
I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;
Inky Chicks - think pink
Tuesday Throwdown - clean and simple
and
Amusing - anything goes
Hope to see you again soon.
Hugs Sharon xx
