Diva By Design Pastels

Its time for Team B to showcase this weeks challenge over at Divas By Design

This week it is Pastels & is sponsored by Crafty Emmas

I made this card using pale pink pearlised card, onto which I Cuttlebugged Swiss Dots folder paper & rounded off the corners & stuck it onto the card. I then used a Doohickey die to add a border acroos the bottom. Onto that I added a pretty pink & white ribbon & bow. The butterfly is also a Doohickey die (Dragonfly with extra body cut off), onto which I added dew drops.Another Doohickey Tag die mounted & the sentiment from a stamp set I have (Elusive Images) I think. The flowers are from my stash & mounted to make a display.

I look forward to seeing all your entries.

Parisian Dreams

This is a card I made before going on holiday using Parisian Tilda which I have coloured with Distress inks. Spiced Marmalade, Walnut Stain & Sage Green.

I Googled a free image of the Eiffel Tower & again coloured with Distress Inks.

The papers I am afraid were in my stash, so no idea whose they are, but lending themselves perfectly to the card.

I added faux stitching to the edges of the papers.

Eiffel Tower charm added onto ribbon which I have attached using Eyelets. Flower from stash & sentiment is an old QVC purchase.

God it has taken me longer to add the challenges than it did to make the card. The internet is so slow here in Cyprus & doesnt help that Blogger seems to have issues too.!

On hols

Just to say I am away for a month now & whilst I do have internet access, it is very slow & frustrating, so whilst I am trying to keep up with my DT commenting (not that well this morning as blogger is alsoo messing me about), please forgive me if I do not get to comment on my fav blogs.
I do have some cards saved in drafts, so you may just see a card or two from me during July, but will be not so good on the commenting.
By the way its gorgeous & sunny & hot here in Cyprus.

Relax & Enjoy!

This week has been hard as my one & only child has bought his own place & at the age of 23 has left home Now whilst I am very proud of him & we have a fantastic relationship, I feel grief stricken, I know it will get easier in time & the fact he has gone means I have done a good job BUT it hurts!!!
Anyway I sat & made this card this afternoon to take my mind of things.
Make It Crafty have had a 40% sale on, so I took advantage of it & bought several of Zoes images as I really love them & this is one of them.
Coloured with Promarkers & Prisma pencils, I added Glossy Accents to the bath water, but it did not want to photograph well, so you will have to take my word for it. I decoupaged the dressing gown & towels to give some lift.
Backing papers are again from Dunelm, where I used a MS Daisy punch & added some Liquid Pearls.
Sentiment is my own computer generated one & brads & flowers are from stash.
Maybe I need to take more heed of the sentiment myself.....lol

Herbert!

This is an image from Karens Doodles which can be purchased here called A Friend In Need & is part of the Herbert Turtle collection. I just think its perfect for a get well card that I needed to make.
I coloured the image with Promarkers. The BP are from Dunelm (no idea other than that as a friend gave them to me). I coloured all the card with Promarkers to match the papers as I wanted it to be very tonal. (Not sure if thats such a word, but I am sure you know what I mean.lol) Sentiment is an Anna Griffin, from a  set bought from QVC a while back. Flowers & leaves are from stash, I added a little glitter glue to the edges on some of the petals.

Strawberries Anyone?

This is an image from Clear Dollar Stamps that I have had for some while & whilst blog hopping I noticed there was a new challenge over at Bearly Mine, so thought this was perfect for a ''summer''theme. I coloured the image with Promarkers & mounted it onto red mirri card, then cut it out leaving a fine border around the image. The papers are from Donna over at Bearly Mine & they are part of the Delicious Delights set. Used a MS deep Daisy punch to create the side effect & once again mounted it onto red mirri card. The sentiment is also part of the digi stamp set above, which I coloured again with Promarkers to match the colour used in the strawberry. Lace & dew drops from stash.
