DRIP DRIP DROP LITTLE APRIL SHOWER

Hi everyone. Hope you are all well. The sun is shining away here , as it did last time I had a week off work! I'm so lucky! So I thought I'd make a card about RAIN! Haha!
The image I have used is from Saturated Canary and she is called "Sweet Oklahoma". Isn't she adorable!
I have used Promarkers and Copics to colour in this one, only the second time I have used Copics for hair, but I'm really enjoying working with them. I'll never get rid of my Pros though...love them too much!
The background papers are from the "Denim and Diamonds" collection from Raspberry Road Designs, which I've distreesed a little, and applied a little paint to "age" them. The paint I've used is from Wickes...not sure whether its an "ok" product to use on cards but hey-ho...it works for me; it is called Chalky Flat Matt and the colour is "Harvest Moon", and it only cost 50p!!! It looks and feels lovely!
I've used a piece of frayed hessian, some cheesecloth, and some red and white twine, simply embellished with some red buttons.
And that's it!

FLOWERS FLOWERS EVERYWHERE

Good morning bloggers!
Here is my DT make for Stamping with the Dragon .
Our theme for the next fortnight is "Flowers".
I have used the "Pansy Papers" available in store, together with "Spring Beauty" digistamp.
The card is quite simple to make, folding back the corners of the paper, and adding some flowers to each corner. I have made this card for my Mum. She bought me the pansies I've used, to add some colour to my garden, in the days when she thought I'd never grow my own. I DID!! So these pansies have been sat in a jar in my craft room ever since.
Now it's over to you.....THINK FLOWERS!!!
There's lots of gorgeousness to browse through in the Stamping Dragon shop! And the winning project will receive a £5 voucher to spend in store!

LOTS OF LAYERS AT CFAS

Good morning all!
Here's my DT card for Crafting for all Seasons where the challenge is "Lots of Layers".
I have used an image from Saturated Canary called Pixie Nerd . Isn't she just ACE!!!!
I've coloured her in with Promarkers, trying desperately hard to follow Alyce's colour-along on Kit and Clowder....didn't do too bad this time! I've got the colours noted down somewhere...will add them on here when I can!
The background paper is from my stash, layered up with some pink card. I've made a layered flower using a die on my Big Shot, and a little layered book cut on my Cricut. The sentiment reads:
"Dude, pixie dust is for amateurs. I read books.That is where the magic is"! I love it!!
For this challenge, which runs for the next fortnight, our sponsor is:

Now it's over to you....get layerin' up and show us your makes!

GLITTERY FLUTTERBIES

Good morning everyone.
It's all about the "GLITTER" at The Crafter's Cafe this week. Love it or hate it, you must use it to enter this challenge! Is glitter the "Marmite" of the card-making world? I think so....my little girl loves to use it....I hate having to clear up after her! lol :-)
Anyways....back to my card. I have used an image called ""Kaualani"" from Rick St Dennis, our sponsor this week.
She is coloured in with Promarkers. RSD images are FAB to colour because Rick adds some shading for you....easy as pie! I've used another freebie backing paper, layered onto gold mirri card, with a strip of heavy glitter gold card. I've added a butterfly cut from the same glittery card, and some flowers from my stash. For an extra bit of sparkle, I've touched up the flowers and the image with gold Stickles. 
I've made this card for my sister-in-law, celebrating her BIG 5-0! And she really is fabulous!
Now it's over to you...."ADD SOME GLITTER" and play along at The Crafter's Cafe!

DAISY DOODLES

Hi everyone. Happy Easter Monday!
It's gorgeous here right now; sun is shining, kids are playing, husband is gardening, and I'm crafting! Perfect!
For today's card I have used "Emily Spring Ladybugs" from Lacy Sunshine, coloured in with Promarkers. In my ongoing "I WILL have a tidy craft room" phase, I've found this daisy print paper which I've layered up on Kraft card. I've used a piece of jute (I really, really LURVE this stuff!) and had a rummage in my flower drawer to find a daisy. I've added a couple of little wooden ladybirds to finish the card off.
Thanks for stopping by today.
I'm off to visit my best friend now as it's her little MollieMoo's birthday! Then a bit more colouring....entering week two of my lessons...HAIR! And I DO need lessons!

TUBBY LOVE

Hello everyone.
Third post today but not a Christmas card! I've used another Lact Sunshine image for this card; she's called ""Penelope Pansy"  from the Flowerpot Pretties range. I've coloured her in with Promarkers and made a simple card base using the "Anja Edge" die from Mariane Designs. The sentiment stamp I think fits perfectly!
I think that's all from me today....that craft room isn't ging to tidy itself!

DREAMING OF A BLUE CHRISTMAS

Hi everyone.
Second Christmas card for today. For this one, I've used an image called "Flurry" from Lacy Sunshine. I've gone all out with the blues on this one, colouring just the girl in the image as I wanted her to stand out. I've used my microbeads to cover the whole image to make it sparkle! The background is made up of bits and dabs  I found in my Christmas craft box.
