Islander Flower Girl -take 2

Hello all,
as promised here is the second card I made for the challenge which is currently still running over at the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends. A little bit more of a traditional birthday card, the image is from Lemon Shortbread coloured with Promarkers. The papers are from a magazine and the sentiment is computer generated. I added a Marianne swirl die cut and a filigree heart die cut. A couple of paper flowers coloured with promarkers and some little green gems finished it off:

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Corrosive challenge #4-girls/ladies

Creative Craft Cottage #62-feminine
Time Out #55-dies/fussy cut
I Love Promarkers #307-pastel colours

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends challenge 32

Hello all I hope you are all well. Todays post is to let you all know that a new challenge has begun today over at the Lil Patch of Crafty Friends.

Our challenge runs for two weeks and as always it has an Anything Goes theme so that gives you loads of scope to come on over and join us, we'd love to see you there.
Huge thanks go to our sponsors who for this challenge are:

Bugaboo Stamps

Prize ~ 7 Images

&

Lemon Shortbread

Prize ~ 3 Images

For my card I got to choose this lovely image from Lemon Shortbread called Islander Flower Girl which can be found here.

I ended up making two cards for this challenge myself. The first card is a traditional type birthday card but when I'd made it I had another idea which I just had to make so this one is actually the second card I made. (I'll show you the first one in my next post!!)

I found this fab background on a free clipart website and thought it matched the image perfectly so I layered the image digitally and then coloured her in with promarkers to match the background. 

I also found some images of shells which I fussy cut and layered onto the image using some raised pads. I punched some little flowers to add too and the sentiment is computer generated which I then layered using some Nellie Snellen oval dies. I finished off with some glitter to her dress and a couple of little pearls:

I'd like to enter my card into the following challenges:

Afternoon all, just a quick post today to share a card I made in the holidays using a Starstampz image I won in a recent challenge.
I coloured her in with my Promarkers and layered her with papers from Nitwit adding a doily behind the image. The edge is punched with a Martha Stewart punch and I added some glitter, a paper flower (with a little punched centre) and a couple of gems. The sentiment is computer generated:

Abbie with Cake

Hello everyone, I hope you are all well.
So, the Easter break is nearly over and as usual I feel like it's flown by but it's been a lovely rest and I have spent lots of time at my craft desk.
I've had the day to myself today too so apart from the hour cleaning the oven (yeuck!!) I have made lots of time for me-card making and catching up with some TV programmes too.
My card today is one I made with a gorgeous freebie from Connie Fong.
I coloured her up with my Promarkers and layered her with some papers which came free with my magazine. I added some die cut balloons, a heart and used my hobbycraft 'handmade with love' die but only showed the 'with love' part! The sentiment is from Netty's cards and I found a cute little button in my box which I thought fitted it perfectly:

I had some fab news yesterday too-I emailed this to my magazine to show them how I'd used their fee papers and got a reply back from them saying they'd like to share it on their letter page in June so I was really thrilled about that!

I'd like to enter this into the following challenges:

Crafting for all Seasons #123-dies/punches
Fussy and Fancy #161-pink and green
Simply Papercraft#27-anything goes
Crafty Calendar-anything goes April
