Creative Ladybirds - Anything Goes
http://creativeladybirdscreations.blogspot.co.nz/2015/08/challenge-6.html

I have used a green card blank for this card.  The images on the front are from a set by Bugaboo Stamps.  I sized them so that they would fit neatly on the card following the sketch at Feeling Sketchy.  The sentiment is from Desert Diva.  I sprayed some flowers with Dylusions Ink and layered them together with a pearl for the centre.

Monochromatic Green

I thought this image lent itself to a monochromatic green colour scheme - and I found some green wood patterned paper to match.

http://craftyhazelnutspatternedpaper.blogspot.co.nz/2015/08/craftyhazelnuts-patterned-paper-august.html

I have used a paper from a Christmas paper pad by Kaisercraft called "Basecoat Christmas".  The image is from Lia Stampz and has been coloured with copic markers E00, E41, G02, G000, G17, G14, YG09, YG06, G29, G21.  I also used some green Christmassy mesh ribbon and some green tree shaped brads.  I die-cut the image with a Spellbinders die and then added some Liquid Pearls into the corners.

Buttons

A CAS style card this time:

Eureka Stamps - Buttons
http://eurekastamps.blogspot.co.nz/2015/08/eureka-challenge-155-button-button.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad by Kaisercraft.  Inspired by the random spots on the paper, I decided to add the buttons randomly.  The image is from Eureka Stamps and coloured with copic markers.  I matted with yellow pearlescent paper.

Whew - I made the cut-off on the Eureka Stamps challenge by 30 minutes.  Had planned to work on it early this morning but then ended up being called in to work at the last minute.  Had this idea in my head so really wanted to create this.  Glad I could!

Out of This World

A child's birthday card:

I have used a background paper from Rosie's Studio that worked well with the image.  The image is from Bugaboo Stamps and has been coloured with copic markers.  I added a Happy Birthday sentiment and a pre-made topper.

Mermaid and Sequins

This is a bit of a different style for me - but I'm pleased with the result.

Dark and whimsical

Okay - so I don't do weird and whimsical well.  But she does have purple hair - which isn't natural!

http://lacysunshinechallengeblog.blogspot.co.nz/2015/08/show-us-something-different-weird-and.html

Golden Moose

I have used a die I've had for a while but hadn't got around to using.  I think I'll be using it a lot more as it looks so elegant.

I have used a paper from Kaisercraft for the background - and added some stickles to it.  The image is from QKR Stampede and coloured with copic markers E04, E08, R59, YR23, Y28 plus I added some Stickles to the hat.  The tree die is from Memory Box and is cut from some gold cardstock from DCWV.  I used the same cardstock to mat the image.

Birthday Wishes

I got my days all in a tangle - so I'm late posting this.  Our current challenge at Incy Wincy Designs is Birthday Wishes.  Our sponsor for this challenge is All Dressed Up.

I have created a card using Little Flower Fairy

I have used a paper from a paper pad.  I coloured the image with copic markers and then matted with some pearlescent paper.  I added some white flowers which I coloured the petals with copic marker V17.

Washi Animals

Too early in the morning to think of a decent title!  I've combined washi tape and animals in the creation of this card:

From The Heart Stamps - Sketch + Twist
http://fromtheheartstamps.com/community/2015/08/10/i-heart-card-sketches-with-a-twist-115/

Sunshine

I kept this fairly CAS as I had used the sun in the image and the background paper and didn't want to lose the effect.

A sweet treat for me is a trip to the beach - even better is a picnic at the beach!

CHNC - Use some gold
http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/2015/08/chnc-challenge-243-use-some-gold.html

I have used a paper with various scallop patterns on it from a Christmas paper pad by Kaisercraft.  The image is a combination of two images from Bugaboo Stamps - Present and Christmas Girl - sitter.  I coloured the image with copic markers E00, R17, R14, G17, G14, E35, E31, R59, R46.  I also added some Stickles.  I used an oval die to cut the image and a scalloped oval die to cut the matting from red cardstock from Rosie's Studio.  Both dies are from Spellbinders.  I also used some Memory Box and Marianne's dies to cut the poinsettia.  The red and green layers are a Memory Box die and the gold layer is a Marianne's die.  I then added some Liquid Pearls to the centre.

School time

I've left this one without a sentiment - at this stage I'm not sure whether to use it for "Back to School" or for "Thank You" for a teacher!
