Sunshiny Card

Hi Everyone, I have a sunshiny card for you today. It all started when I saw the freebie sentiment of the day from Create with TLC, I knew exactly what I was going to do.

I coloured the beautiful sentiment in PS and added gold shimmer pen to it after printing it out on DP. I added a sunray DP to the "Ewe",  well - she represents my sunshine! you must know how I think by now LOL.  I fussy cut the Ewe and 3D'd her and added the gold shimmer pen to a few places on her. Layered them all on yellow card.

After all the lovely comments you've left for me on my blog, I thought it about time and came and paid you a visit. Your cards are lovely and colourful, but this one is my favourite. It made me smile as soon as I saw it :)

Peacock card.

Hi Everyone, my card today is for the Outlawz sketch challenge. This sketch has lots of layers and what do I do? lots of patterned paper or a mixture of etc etc etc. My choices were huge, it opened my mind so much, I seriously didn't know how to put it together.

In the end, I used a recent freebie of the day from Create with TLC as I have lots of Peacock linked images and dp's, so it wasn't hard to use the image, just what I put with it, plain or patterned? I went searching my files and decided to make it as flamboyant as the  peacock itself. I coloured the Peacock and added a gradient filter to the tail, then laid all the patterned dp's in PS, printed and layered all the papers. I added some die cut flowers that I coloured with my SN markers and a couple of gems.

Anyhow this is it.

A face

Hi everyone the card I have for you today it is a face, "Aurora- Just face" it's the News letter freebie from The Eastwind, I coloured her in SN markers and added a beret to the "other half" of her face. I am not good at choosing colours so went with what I felt like.

However when it came to finding matching paper and considering I have thousands of digi papers, I thought it would take me hours, however luck was on my side and it only took me about 15 minutes to find similar colours whew! I am pleased with the card as a whole and the CAS style and I know it will be just right for a friend, who is having a few problems just now.

Hi Everyone, a quick post today and another family birthday card, I chose a "cluster" and added the photo of SIL in PS, I then printed and cut on the Cameo. I added a leaf die behind it and a corner die, embossed a card layer to add to the main card. A banner with her age and sentiment and I am pleased with it. Hope she will like it.

Different car birthday

Hi Everyone, I have another car birthday card today, I saw it in my files and had to make it for another of my male birthday cards I needed recently, this was for a 23 year old, so I needed it slightly younger. I print and cut the image on the Cameo, added a personalised number plate with his initials and age. Layered onto brown car, which I also used to cut the sentiment. Such a happy card had to have a happy sentiment inside :) I saw it on the web and thought it wonderful and just right for this character.

Dance couple

Hi Everyone, my offering for you today is of an image by Create with TLC that I haven't used for a long time in fact it's HERE in 2012. I loved it then and now. Anyhow on to my card.

The Sketch Challenge at the Outlawz calls for an oval shape, so a file search and found this elegant couple and sentiment by Create with TLC I had already done it B&W, now what colours was I to use, luckily to make it easier for me, I had seen on Jackie's blog that there were free digi papers HERE, well I can't turn down freebies so off I went and saw these, they were so pretty I had to use them. cor! I don't 'arlf go on don't I? all this rambling.

To cut a long story short, I enlarged the image so that the dress was over the edge of the frame. I paper pieced the dress and coloured the one couple of the digi, added it to an oval shape in PS and coloured the background,  The scallop border, which I also made and paper pieced were sent to the Cameo and print and cut with an extra layer for the couple.

I layered the background papers and added the other layers adding dimensionals to the couple, added the bow with a sentiment on top and then used silver gel glitter pens to the dress. (I LOVE the pens).
I'm not too happy with the colour of the papers in the photos, they should be more turquoise, but it was the light at the time I took them - drat! The card is so pretty in real life.

It's time for the Monthly challenge at

The DT were given images to play with and we have had the most wonderful images. These were a real joy to colour digitally and produce pages that I am absolutely thrilled with. 

To colour Dark Fae I used the brush tool and the mixer tool in PS I am thrilled with the skin this time, as I have trouble with skin colouring. Once I had coloured her and I don't know how these colours came to be, I had to find something that would enhance this fab image I went searching in my files and came across this beautiful page. I thought she needed a castle and luckily found I had one, a bit of blending mode and it was blended into the background. The sentiment was found on the web and I decided to add a book to match the sentiment.

Sentiment - web

I decided to colour 2 extra as I loved them so much. 

The Stardust fantasy fairy I added to a background by sweetbananadreams at Deviant Art, which I made smaller to make the fairy look larger, I coloured her in PS and added a sentiment and a few blending options to add light and PS brushes for fairy dust.

The "silvertrace dragon baby in egg" was also coloured in PS, he had to be a red dragon, after all I'm Welsh LOL the background is gradient effect clouds, I used grass PS brushes.
