PASSION FOR MARKERS CHALLENGE #741: GO DOTTY

GOOD MORNING EVERYONE! 

Our lovely Karen has chosen a fun theme for you this week:

GO DOTTY

Up for grabs we have a £15 store voucher to give away, from our generous sponsor

This wonderful image from Cute as a Button is perfect for a teenager.  The image is called X-Box Gamer Boy.  I have coloured it with Copics.

I've gone DOTTY with one of my papers.  My papers are from the DCWV The Homeroom Stack paper pack.

I've added Dress It Up Button snacks, and American Crafts glitter numbers.  The enamel dots are Echo Park.

A wonderfully quick male card that actually took me weeks to finish, once I had it all ready to be glued.

Thanks for popping over for a look!

CUTE AS A BUTTON SUCH A TIME AS THIS

Lately I have enjoyed contrasting the colours from my image, with the background card colours, rather than keeping to the colour scheme of one or the other.  I love how the image pops out against the different background.

This gorgeous image is called Such A Time As This.  It comes with a beautiful sentiment, but I decided to use my own for this one.  I have coloured the image with Copics and framed her with a Spellbinders die cut frame.

My papers, flowers, butterfly, strip of lace and sentiment, all come from a brand new 49 and Market paper pack by Katie Pertiet, called Vintage Artistry Colours * Lilac.   I've added an Offray ribbon bow and lots of little pearls to finish off.

CUTE AS A BUTTON CHALLENGE #72: ANYTHING GOES + LOTS OF LAYERS

Good Morning crafters!

Our new challenge has kicked off on the Cute As A Button Challenge Blog, and this month, the team have the theme of LOTS OF LAYERS.  You are welcome to follow the theme along with us, but it is optional, so don't let it hold you back from entering the challenge.

The image I've used is called I'm Sweet On You.  I have coloured it with Copics, and used a Poppy Crafts die to cut it out.  

While we're on the topic of dies, I also used a Jeanine's Art die for the doily and a Bo Bunny die for the sentiment tag.  I had to send the doily through twice and it moved the 2nd time, leaving a bit of a shadow cut, but I quite liked the 'tattered' look it had, so I decided not to pop out all the bits from the doily, just for something different.

My papers are from the Asuka Studio So Sweet paper pack.  Even though the back paper has a wonderful watercolour wash of colour, I felt that the revealed areas were a little bland, so I spritzed a little Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist onto it, in Cappuccino.  I have torn the edges of the woodgrain paper and inked the edges.

The butterfly swirl is a Little Birdie chipboard laser cut, which I have coloured with one of the pinks from the image.  The corner laser cuts are Celebr8.  I've coloured them with one of the greens from the image.

I've added three strips of lace.  The pink and white were from my stash (unnamed).  The green one is Ruby Rock-It.  I've also added lots of pearls and Prima flowers.

Pop into the Cute As A Button store to see more of these gorgeous images.

CUTE AS A BUTTON PEACE OF GOD

This beautiful image comes with an equally beautiful sentiment, which I've decided not to use on my card.  The image is called Peace of God, and I have coloured it with Copics.  She reminds me of my daughter a few years back.

My papers are from the Craft & You Design Bellissima Rosa paper pack.  I've used a Bo Bunny die for the doily, which I cut in half to use in the two spots.  The swirly heart is a Poppy Crafts die cut.  The negatives from the swirls were so pretty, that I decided to add them as well.  

My flowers are Prima and I Am Roses.

CUTE AS A BUTTON CHALLENGE #71: ANYTHING GOES + POLKA DOTS AND/OR STRIPES

Good Morning crafters!

Our new challenge has kicked off on the Cute As A Button Challenge Blog, and this month, the team have the theme of POLKA DOTS AND/OR STRIPES.  You are welcome to follow the theme along with us, but it is optional, so don't let it hold you back from entering the challenge.

I've used Cuddly Busty Buttons - Beach Lounging on my card.  I so love these busty girls, because they're so 'real'.  I know I have a few curves in places that should be flat!

I've coloured the image with Copics and added in a beachy background for her.  I've framed the image with a Spellbinders die cut.  

My dotty paper is from the Crafter's Companion Little Angel paper pack.  Along the bottom edge, I used a Find It Trading wave die to add to the beachy feeling.  

The doily was cut using a Crafter's Companion Die'sire die.  My flowers are Prima and I am Roses.  I've also added a strip of webbed ribbon and a few seashells.

CUTE AS A BUTTON MEDITERRANEAN CRUISE

This gorgeous image comes with a few extras, which I chose not to use for this card.  The image is called Mediterranean Cruise.  I have coloured it with Copics, and used a Creative Dies wonky stitches die to cut it out.

My papers are from the Maja Design Little Street Cafe paper pack.  

I've used several elements from a Celebr8 laser cut set and coloured them all with a black marker - the sentiment, and corner designs.  My flowers are Green Tara.

I've then added a bow with a Tim Holtz heart attached.
