New challenge day at Delightful challenges - I appreciate you

Good morning all

Its challenge day again over at Delightful Challenges

and the theme is

I appreciate you

I used the cute Water Melon Time set to make my card - available here

This week we are sponsored by 

http://www.markerpop.com/catalog/

who are offering a great prize of a $15 gift certificate from Marker Pop

I took a totally different approach to making this card - its's not my usual style at all.  I found a paper distresser that I had bought last year in the bottom of a bag of ribbons and it all started from there!  I was really pleased with the result when I finished - my problem was knowing when I was finished and it was a fine line between finished, too much and not enough

This is what I did.....

Image and sentiment  - water melon time set from Digital Delights

Colored with copics, prismacolor pencil and white gel pen

Papers - market from MME

Pearls and very old flower from my stash

Heart banner die - la la land

Doly die - spell binders

Seam binding ribbon from crafty ribbons

Colour my world challenge at Delightful Challenges

Good morning all

At last the sun is shining! and I'm celebrating with this weeks challenge at Delightful Challenges! I have to say it feels a bit OTT making a card like this with the amount of sun we've got but you've got to make the most of good weather when it comesw these days (or so it seems after the long dismal winter we've had) So if this is the first summer you've seen - enjoy this card lol.

The theme this week is

Colour my world

(anything colourful)

We're going with having fun in the sun! with the cute Pauly in Paradise available here

Summer surfin fun sentiment set available here

 and ice cream parlour furniture (that's the cute umbrella) available here

I coloured Pauly with copics and cut him out and mounted on foam pads

The sun umbrella is paper pieced with sticky backed paper from  K&Co 

We are being sponsored by 

Who are offering a fab prize of

A set of spectrum noir pens

This is what I did...
