Daisy Doodle Challenge #46

Hello again!  I'm sharing a Christmas card with a beautiful Poinsettia digital image from Daisy Doodles.  I printed the image on Copics X-press It Blending paper, and coloured the image using copic markers (R22, R24, R29, Y21 & Y17).  I created a scored border on the kraft cardbase using my Scor-buddy and made 2 slits at the bottom to string the ribbon.  The Season's Greetings sentiment was stamped all around the edge of the card.  Then I cut out the Poinsettia image and adhered it to the cardbase with some pop dots and added some tiny blings to finish off the card.

Please join us for the Daisy Doodles challenge, it's Anything Goes with a Digi week, so it's a great challenge to play along.  Please visit the Daisy Doodles blog for more inspiration from the Design Team.

Thanks, and have a great day!

Daisy Doodles Challenge #36 - Stars and Stripes

Hi!  I hope you had a marvellous Father's Day celebration over the weekend.  We took my dad out to dinner and he enjoyed being out and the food.  On Sunday morning, I spent some time with him sitting outside the house, basking in the morning sun and watching the world go by.

It's time for another Daisy Doodles Challenge!  For this week's theme, I thought a little cupcake might be fun, with some stars and stripes.  The cupcake image was coloured with copic markers (B32, B34 & B37 (base); R30 & R32 (cake); RV00 & RV02 (icing); R32, R35 & R37 (strawberry)).

Come play along with us - the rules are very simple, found here.

I look forward to see your creations ;)

Have a good week!

Hello Weekend & Exciting News

It's the end of another busy week, and I'm glad the weekend is finally here.  I'm planning to do some shopping, meet up with friends and make some cards!  What about you?  I hope you get to do all that you enjoy this weekend!

Now for some news... I've been invited to join the Daisy Doodles Design Team!  It's exciting because I've never been on a DT and so I can't wait to join the fun.  Daisy Doodles is owned by Julie Ball and she has some amazing digital stamps!  I love how easy it is to achieve great results with digital stamps.  You can resize the image to fit your project, print on patterned paper for paper piecing technique, colour in the images if you love colouring like I do, and more.  There's lots of fun at the Daisy Doodles' challenge blog with prizes to win, and check out the store as well.

When Jo, the Daisy Doodles DT Coordinator, asked for a photo of me for her post, I gave this pic:

 

I was on a boat in Halong Bay (translated as "Decending Dragon Bay"), a UNESCO World Heritage site in Vietnam.  It's a beautiful bay a little south-east of Hanoi, with beautiful limestone formations and calm waters. The weather was a little cloudy and foggy but it was still lovely, and we spent the night on the boat. It was one of the most beautiful places I've visited in Vietnam.

I'd love to share a card with Daisy Doodles' digi stamp.  There's a current challenge on the blog in conjunction with Memorial Day in the US.  Here's my card:

The boat image was coloured with copic markers and I added a little clear glitter where the water is.  The card measures 4.25x4.25".  

I hope you'll have a safe weekend, and have fun!
