Sunrise Sunset

 My challenge this week is another song... Sunrise Sunset and here is my DT card.  The background sunset is an actual photograph I took from our house in Bermuda last month - this was my starting point.  On the scalloped card I added some Distress inks using the double ended brushes from Inkylicious and stamped the hills with a Stamp Addicts stamp. The trees and elephants are black peel offs as is the Safari word.  I created the flower and overstamped with text then added the same colour orange distress ink and a gold centre gem.  The leaves are cut from brown paper using a Tim Holtz die.  I added the bow making it out of some raffia I found in Tesco and a piece of brown string.  I mounted this onto the black card cut with a scalloped edge from my cutting machine.  Everything was then mounted onto an A4 cream card and again with scalloped edges.
Will someone now please tell me to stop making these large cards.... two in two weeks ahhhh... they are taking over.
I hope you like my creation and please do pop over to my challenge blog to see the lovely DT creations and enter yourself..... A Joanna Sheen voucher is up for grabs this week.

Frog on a Bike

Here is the card I made for my dear husband's 60th birthday last week and also my entry for Created by Hand 'Animals or Pets' challenge. The frog was stamped (and sent to me by a blogging friend) and embossed all over using green sparkle embossing powder then cut out and mounted onto a cream card. I then added a hand made corner using silver Metal Magic and a corner stamp from Tesco, a peel off 60 and stamped Happy Birthday.

Purple butterfly

A purple chipboard butterfly triple embossed and a lovely purple bow added to some silver DCWV chipboard. This was overstamped in purple Stazon using Judikins splatter and some Tesco corner stamps again.

All girls together

Another for Cute Daisy May challenges, this one Brown and Pink. The spotted glitter background is from DCWV glitter stack and the swirly card from K and Co. Firstly I printed out the Daisy May image onto embossing paper and embossed in gold then coloured her using Metallic Pencils and Permapaque pens and added some Stickles (of course). I then printed her out again onto shrink plastic and coloured her the same way and shrunk her down together with her pink poodle. A little butterfly tag and a couple of gold peeloffs and the message All Girls (well there are two girls and two lady poodles). I also cut the corners with corner edger scissors. I think I am now a Daisy May addict lol. I am also entering this for Cute Card Thursday challenge this week as that is Pink and Brown too.

Cute Daisy May

Here is one I made for the Cute Daisy May challenge this week using a sketch - yes, a sketch. I don't often do them so this is a change for me. The background papers and vellums are freebies from Making Cards magazine layered and torn onto a pink pearlised card. The main Daisy May image is a download from Helping Hands, printed out onto embossing paper and embossed with silver powder. I then coloured her in using some metallic pencils from Tesco, Permapaque Pens then covered her with some Tiom Holtz Distress Stickles - I love them. She is mounted onto rose pink mirri card on blue mirri card - the colours are for the Colour Create Rose and Duck Egg Blue challenge. I added a double blue and pink flower with a brad centre to complete the look.

'I say, that can't be our chick - it's the wrong colour!'

Sorry - I do seem to be in Easter mode tonight with another card made using the Front and Back stamps - back only this time and a little freebie chick emerging from the egg. Again stamped and coloured with watercolours and oversprayed with Sara's glitter spray. The baby chick is coloured with some metallic pencils I found at Tesco and some new Permapaque pens. That's it for tonight. Ooh - Lili of the Valley have an 'Easter' challenge too so this is for you girls. Happy Easter. Sunday Stampers have the 'Birds' challenge today so all the cards I made tonight qualify, I must have been psychic.

Helping Hands Cute Daisy May Designs are looking for team members so this is one especially for them.
