Mo's dream team challenge

Now I've had great fun playing with digi scrapbooking but I missed making a card or two so thought I'd enter this into Mo's dream team for this week. Mo's digital pencil images are a joy to colour every time and this little cutie I bought awhile back and hadn't used yet. The papers are a freebie via one of the digital scrapbooking sites and print up really beautifully, I've also used an punch for the ribbon slider and the buttons are sizzix dies using the scrap bits of paper. I'm not usually that good at boy cards but I'm really chuffed with this one.

DP2 challenge

'All that glitters' is the challenge over at DP2 this week and I'm always up for a bit of glitter! I've made a A4 size card just because I felt like it and I'd bought some envelopes to fit! The images is Noelle bearing gifts just so sweet and a dream to colour with my copics of course. The design paper is from colour my world and one of my favs. The glitter comes via the papers and some stickles glue dusted on the image. The snowflakes are die cut with my big shot with some dew drops on top and the sentiment is from one of my graphicus sets. Also lots of mirror board and ribbon to finish off.

DP2 Challenges and the week ahead.

Now on to the card, this is for DP" challenge #4 this week it's anything but a simple card. So I've made a spring card. The image is coloured with copics with a letraset rub-on for the sentiment. The flowers are cut out of the patterned paper and I've added a mat of mirror board. I've decorated the back of the card with more of the flowers.

I've also made a Christmas card and some tags with the new Pink Petticoat papers called 'Fairy lights' which I downloaded yesterday. The offer ends on these today so grab them quick cos they'll lush.

I love the modern twist on these papers it's so easy to make something different and easy.

DP2 Challenge

I bought this image a couple of weeks ago from Mo's digital pencil called 'the big one' how cute is it? I'm not really that into Halloween and all the trick and treat stuff but I've found a passion for the images which are for Halloweeny cards.
The challenge for this is to use Fall/Autumn colours and no more than 2 embellishments. I think I've done what's required. The papers are My minds eye Bloom & grow again and I've my tag dies for the embellishment, easy!

First ever Halloween card

This is for 4 challenges in one go, so here goes.
A spoon full of sugar #72 - Halloween
Papertake weekly #25 - The sketch
Creative card crew#31 - Celebration
DP2 #1 - Perple (Purple, pop to the site and all becomes clear!)

I got to use the great image from Mo's digital pencil called 'Punkin' which I've coloured with copics. On DP2 which is the brand new challenge blog from Mo herself, you had to use purple which is my very fav colour ever. Since a young child there has been some form of purple in my surroundings, at my last house at least 3 rooms had purple on the walls, even a dark purple in the hallway! I was made to cover that up when we wanted to sell the house and move, neutral all the way? Anyhoo back to the challenges, I didn't have any halloweeny papers so just went with a little bit of My minds eye orange paper. I cut the swirls with a big shot die then added some ribbon and gemstones to finish.The sentiment is stamped with an alphabet set I've had for ages and just inked around the edges.
Hope you like it, just had a bit of good news from a work collegue which as brighten up my day no end. So going to go and make some more cards and enjoy my day off.
