Holly Fairy

It's the last challenge of 2014 at the Graph'it Markers challenge and we have a nice easy theme of

Winter Wishes.

I have used an Aurora Wings image Holly Fairy, so cute and I have coloured her in with my Graph'it Markers. All the layers have been cut out using my Woodware paper trimmer, that can use different blades, using the scalloped blade some cut with the scallop in and some out. I think that makes it a bit more interesting to use.

I have die cut the holly leaves and used gems for the berries. The Happy Christmas greeting is die cut. Then a bit of 3D snow added to the fur trim on her jacket. 

Happy Christmas to you all x x

Pretty Miss India

Welcome to the last Challenge at the Crafting Cafe and the theme is 

Your favourite things of 2014.

I've used 2 or 3 of my favourite things on this card so it was quite fun to do.

Firstly I have coloured in the image with my polychromos pencils. Although I have had them for quite a while I have only relly got back to using them this year and I have really enjoyed that. The image is a Besties.

Some of my favourite colours are oranges and golds, warm autumn colours I have used for the background.

Then some very pretty embelishments. A punched border in gold, a tassled brocade trim, some sequined shapes and a lovely bow with a metal flower in the centre. They looked very Indian type decoration and perfect to complete this card. I hope you like it too.

The back ground has been stamped and coloured with distress inks, using swirl and butterfly stamps. 

There are die cut leaves and hearts, also I have die cut the image and layer.

I was really pleased with the colouring on this image, I have been using these pencils a fair bit recently. Please pop over to the challenge and see all the other lovely inspiration,

It's time for a new challenge at Through the Craft Room Door and this is my project. The image is from Little Claire one of our sponsors for this week.

For the background I have used Bo Bunny Zebra patterned paper and the image has been die cut with a Creative Expressions frame die.

I have then die cut lots of leaves and grasses using dies from Memory box, Marianne, 

I think it makes quite a striking card in black and white.

Beary Blue

This weeks new Challenge at Graph'it Markers is Blue and Green.

I'm not sure about this combination, as the saying goes, blue and green should never be seen. But it could grow on me. 

I've used the Polka Doodles image Winston Bear with his little heart, He's very cute, makes a lovely new baby boy card I though. I've used a patterned backing paper with glittery butterflies on it,

Then a few embellishments which are polka dot ribbon, a lovely feather, a flower and a few gems. Please join in our challenge I would love to see your creations with this colour combo, and you could win a great prize.

Good News

I have some good news to put on today. I have been asked to join the DT for Through the Craft Room Door and I was really pleased to say yes. I am really looking forward to spending the next 6 months working with such talented people. So here is my first card I have done for this weeks challenge 

The theme is always Anything Goes which gives you such a lot of scope of things to do.  This image is from one of the sponsors this week which is Twixie from That Craft Place. I know it's now a bit late for Halloween but it wasn't when I made it.

I have coloured him with Graph'it Markers and just added a little Wink of Stella clear glitter pen, although that is hard to see from the photo. I have die cut the wood BOO using an old Sizzix alphabet set. I think he is a real cute Kitty, not scary at all. Please pop over to the challenge and have a look at fellow DT member have made to inspire you.

Splash

It's a new challenge this today at the Graph'it markers challenge and the theme this time is

ICE OR WATER.

I decided to do something I don't do very often and that's a CAS card. So I've just done a splash of water, clean and simple.

I've coloured my splash with Graph'it pens 7140, 7210, 7220, 9100, blender and a little bit of white shaker pen. The sentiment was just done in a word doc.

Then I've just added a little colour with 2 shades of blue card. It makes a change to make a card quickly.

Pop over to the Graph'it blog and see what inspiration of fellow DT members have for you.

Background Alcohol

I'm sorry this post is a little late but I have had this lovely chesty cough bug that everybody is sharing and I have had a very rough week, so I am really late getting my cards done for the Graph'it Markers Challenge which this time round is Extra FX. So I have created backgrounds using my Graph'it Markers and then done something else to them.

One for the girls

and one for the boys.

I have done them both using similar techniques, but using different colours and patterns.

I have used a mixture of red, pink and yellow for the girls and blue, red, green and yellow for the boys. 

I have just taken the different colours and scribbled patches
over different surfaces. I have used gold and silver metal sheets and parchment paper. I have then taken the Graph'it blending solution and sprayed it onto a piece of felt. I have used that to blend the colours together by dabbing the various surfaces. By spraying the blending solution directly onto the inked surface you can get a mottled effect. I have then embossed with folders, die cut or punched the cards, flowers and layers out.

So you don't just have to colour images with your Graph'it pens, you can do other things too. 

Please pop over to the challenge page to see all the lovely ideas my fellow team members have to show you and have a go in the challenge too, you may win a lovely prize.

I have coloured her with Graph'it Markers and die cut the image and pink layer, The background card is a scalloped circle which is embossed with snowflaked. I have used distress inks around the edge of Victorian Velvet and Pickled Raspberry.

The added accents are die cut mistletoe with pearl berries. A pink bow, stamped greeting and a little bit of glitter on the boa. Pop over to the challenge blog and join in.

The Graph'it colours I have used are

Leaves - 8290, 8220
