New Pad....

Good evening everyone.
I hope you've all had a good day.
I've had another long shift at work but now I'm looking forward to the weekend and a very large glass of red wine.
Today sees a new challenge over at 
Chocolate, Coffee & Cards Challenges 
and this time we are sponsored by 

who are offering 4 images of the lucky winner's choice. 

And our theme this week is
ANYTHING GOES
Here is my DT card.

As the theme was ANYTHING GOES I decided to make a 'New Home' card for a change using this fabulous digi image from Crafty Sentiments Designs ~ Lilli Pond Frog.
I have coloured using Promarkers and the papers are from my stash. I have used a border punch and added a die cut dragonfly. The pearls are from The Hobby House and the little frog button was from my stash of buttons.

Thank you for stopping by.
Have a lovely evening.

Little Butterfly

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.
It's been my day off today and at last the sun has been out and it's been quite warm, although it's now a bit dull and overcast but I don't care because now I'm watching the tennis at Wimbledon.
And I have a card to share too.

The image is a cute Tilda image which I seem to use quite a lot. I have coloured using Promarkers and the papers are Kaisercraft ~ Utopia Collection. The flower is punched from three different sized retro daisy punches and the leaves are Marianne Creatables. I've added some gems and pearls from The Hobby House and a couple of punched butterflies.

Summer Shower

Good morning everyone.
I hope you are all well and enjoying your weekend....despite the rain!!!
Today I have a card to share which I made just because I loved this cute image.

The image is a House Mouse stamp called ~ Summer Showers....very appropriate I thought although its been more like a deluge at times this morning. 
I have coloured using Promarkers and the papers are Kaisercraft ~ Utopia Collection. The flowers are from my stash, the sentiment is LOTV and the pearls are from The Hobby House. I have die~cut the leaves and added Stickles to the water.

Ahoy There, Me Heartie's...

Good afternoon everyone.
I hope you are all well.
I'm just popping on to do a quick post as I've just got back from my local craft shop after attending a card class with the fabulous Kate...
This is the card I made for my dad for Father's Day.



This is a fabulous image from LOTV and I'm ashamed to say that I have had it for ages and this is the first time it has seen some ink.....
I have coloured with Promarkers as usual but hopefully after today's class with Kate I'll be able to get to grips with my Copics. 
The papers are MME ~ Hattie. The sentiment is also LOTV . I have used a variety of Nesties, die~cuts and punches and finished off by adding pearls and buttons.
