This is the card I made for her, the inspiration from my blog, well there are a few, I love Debbi Moore Glitter and Glitz ranges, this one is from the new "Paris" CD, I made another one for my DT card a week ago and several others over the past year, DM images are a great excuse to use glitter,  the colour is another favorite of mine apart from purple and I happen to know turq is favourite of Karens, (nothing like sucking up, eh Karen LOL).  I hope you like it Karen

Butterflies - CD Sunday DT

Good Morning,  I hope you are having a good Easter break.

My DT Card for CD Sunday this week is made using images and papers from  the MCS Opulent CD.  I printed the BP direct onto my hammered card, then marked, cut and  folded into a tri-shutter card, the butterflies were cut and shaped, their antenna were made using bristles I took from a  floor brush,  Yes, it was a clean one I took them ages ago when the brush was new :-) 

Have a good week, whatever you are up to.

Sketch - Gingerloft DT

This week we have a sketch challenge for you over at Gingerloft,  my DT card uses the Geisha Girl image from Gingerloft which I coloured with promarkers, my die cut arrived in the mail a couple of days before I knew what the sketch was going to be, so when I saw the sketch it was an ideal opportunity try it out.  Before removing the card from the die I inked it to enhance the embossing, the BP is from my stash and the corners were made using an MS punch and cut to make a corner, I finished off with glitter in various places and some pearls and two layers of ribbon.

Happy Birthday CD Sunday DT

Ooohps a bit late here today, got up thinking it's Saturday and all set to take my time and prepare my posts for Sunday, only problem is it's already Sunday, seems to be the story my life right now, don't  know what day of the week it is !!! Reckon i'm going gaga.

We have to sing Happy Birthday this week to CD Sunday, because it's our 1st Birthday  the DT have got together and we have two extra special prizes up for grabs, because they are special prizes the DT are going to selecting the winners, not so easy for us given the fabulous cards that are always submitted.  All you have to do is make a birthday card making sure of course that it uses something from a Crafting CD on it - simple.

For my card I decided to use one of my favourite Debbi Moore CDs and I have quite a few of them, this one is from Glitter and Glitz - Paris. I also used some gold satin mirri which was embossed and of course using a Glitter and Glitz CD makes almost compulsory to add glitter to any bit you can get your hands on

I love this style of card fold, but can never remember what it 's called.

Hope you all have a good week.

Red and Gold Christmas Bear

I love this digi by Meljen he's such a little cutie with his colourful Christmas stockings on, reckon he ought to take them off and hang them up for Santa or he won't get any pressies.  I've coloured him with promarkers and layered onto an oval die cut, added some sparkle with a Sakura clear star pen, and used puffy snow on his hat band and pom pom, all on some christmas mirri card and finished with ribbon and a few gemstones.

Colour Blue - Gingerloft DT

Hello there, well at last I am beginning to feel slightly better, although still feeling yucky and dizzy if I try to move too quickly, not that I ever do that with the state of my body, being stuck in my bed meant I had time to sort through my Stamps and file them properly, same with my dies too and I 've done loads of colouring for my next few weeks DT cards, so not a complete waste of time.

Enough of all that, it's time for another challenge over at Gingerloft , this time the theme is the colour blue, I used Guitarboy image availbale from Gingerloft Designs, I coloured him with promarkers, layered him onto my favourite linen effect mirri, and then onto a backing paper from my stash, I can't remember what CD I printed it from, both layers were edged with an MS punch.
