PENNY'S PAPER-CRAFTY CHALLENGE #442

Good Morning paper crafters!

We have a fun new challenge on the go at Penny's, with a fantastic prize up for grabs, from

This wonderful image is called Reindeer Carols.  I have coloured the image with markers.  The singing sentiment and main sentiment on the card are included in the set when you buy this image.  

My papers are from the Authentique Frosted pack.  I've added a double pearl line along the edge of one of the papers, and a strip of lace by Durmaz.  The two crocheted doilies are Prima.  I've mounted one between the snowflake paper and plaid paper, and one between the plaid paper and the image.

I've added several KaiserCraft wood embellishments which I've sprayed with white Gesso, a big bow and two little snowflake charms.

There's a huge range of adorable images available from our sponsor, so be sure to pop over for a look.

Thanks so much for popping in here today to look at mine.

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS CHALLENGE #505: FLOWER POWER

Good Morning lovely crafters!

Before I tell you about my card, I'm wondering what your crafty process is.  Do you colour your image first, and then decide how you're going to use it, picking papers and a design?  Or do you design the card first, and then colour your image, knowing exactly what size to print it and colours you want to use, to match the papers you've chosen?  My sister often laughs at me, because I often design the card first, as I did with this one.  I had the card completed before the image even hit my computer screen.

I flip between the two methods, but I think card before image is my favourite.

This week we're sponsored by

who are offering our winner 2 digi images

Our theme for the week, chosen by the lovely Karen, is:

🌸FLOWER POWER🌼

I have used Pretty as a Picture on my card.  I have coloured the image with the following ProMarkers:

Skin: Coral; Soft peach; Putty; Almond; Satin; Ivory

Hair and palette: Cocoa; Cinnamon; Praline (brush marker)

Dress & shoes: Rose Pink; Baby Pink; Pale Pink

Socks; Warm grey 1; Blender

Flowers, paints and paint brushes; dress bow: Magenta; Rose Pink; Apple; Cool Aqua; Yellow; Pumpkin; Purple; Maroon

My papers are from the Stamperia Garden pack.  I've used Spellbinders dies for some of the papers, the image and the sentiment, and Poppy Crafts dies for the doily and watering can with flowers.  The sentiment is a Clear Impressions stamp.

To finish off the card, I've added a strip of lace and a few pearls.

Be sure to pop back to the challenge blog to see what the rest have put together to inspire you this week, or head straight to our fantastic sponsor to see what else they have available!

Thanks so much for popping in for a look today ☺️

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS PARTY PUPS

How cute is this little trio!  

This image is from Digi Doodle Studios.  It's called Party Pups.  I have coloured the image with markers and used a circle and scalloped die from KaiserCraft to cut it out.  I did the little confetti bits with Liquid Pearls and encircled the image with Stickles.

My papers are from the Recollections Bright and basic pack.  The sentiment is also KaiserCraft, and I've cut it out using a Spellbinders die.

The doily is a Find It Media die cut and the flowers are all Green Tara.
