Crafty Catz Challenge - ATG - optional twist Stitching

Good day I am running so far behind as I have had some family issues and hopefully all are feeling a little better.

So i will quickly post my card and inspiration for this weeks challenge at CRAFTY CATZ which is hosted by Chris who set our optional twist - Stitching real or faux.

Of course our challenge is ANYTHING GOES so if you dont fancy the twist that is ok too.

Our fab sponsor this challenge is Dr Digi House of Stamps

for my card I have used some faux stitching.

The card was for my Brother who likes to play around upgrading his computer.

Image is called IT Ian

Coloured with Promarkers

Diecut lettering and sentiment

Black gems

DP is from a very old stash but thought it looked like faux stitching on the stripes.

Well thats my inspiration hope you liked and it has encouraged you to come and play along.

Checkout the fab samples by the team and more great images from our sponsor.

Thanks for popping by have a great day and i will be back with some more cards shortly

Time For Tea inspiration post - HAPPY SPRING

Good day hope you are having a fab day.

I am here with my inspiration post for Time For Tea Designs. A little late as I had soo much on yesterday I think I ended up going to bed at 2am after sorting some Dt stuff.

So I am on catch up and hope you like what you see.

Today i am bringing you a little Spring card thought it would be a great card or not card to send to someone not expecting a card.

I have actually not used a main image just one of the embellishments from a set called

Gardening Emily & Ernie

So here it is

I love digital images as in this case I made it large to be the focal image.

Coloured with promarkers

Matted with some card and Dp from stash.

Added some Dottie ribbon and a few black gems from stash

the sentiment is a computer generated.

i used a little die and cut slits in so I could thread the ribbon through for this.

Well thats my card and hope you will pop over to the shop and see the full set that goes with this. There is a cute dog in a barrow.

Here are a few links where you can find more inspiration and where you can share your Time For tea makes.

Passion For Promarkers Challenge - Spring Time

Good morning here with my DT card for 

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS

This weeks theme is

SPRING TIME and was picked by Shelly

I think we are all here in the UK ready for our Spring Time

Our sponsor for this challenge is

BUGABOO STAMPS

So if you would like to join in with us this week we would love to see your version of Spring. Maybe Flowers Cute images Easter

Just remember you must state that you have used  your Winsor & Newton (formerly Letraset) products (promarkers, flex markers, tria markers, aqua markers or metallic markers) To be in with a chance of the prize.

So for my card i have used a image from our sponsor that i had on file called 

Spring Duck 2

My take is the cute image and the colours of spring

On my base card I placed a Crafter Companion Creator card die and sponged through with inks

Then matted my image which has been coloured with promarkers with Yellow and Cream card.

I added a border of Yellow Cream and Green card under the image which has some Green gingham ribbon

Finished with a Chipboard Flower with a small Mulberry flower and a lemon button.

Stamped Hello with a small clear stamp

Well thats my take on my Spring Time

Hope you like and hope that you will pop over and checkout the awesome makes by the team. They all so talented. Keeps me on my toes.

Bye for now have a good day
