Sneak Peek at Doodle Palace and this weeks Challenge

Hi all, this weeks image is 'Special Delivery' which will be available to buy tomorrow over at Doodle Palace, seeing as I played with Pink at the weekend, thought it was about time to create a blue card.

I have used Shimmerz Blingz - Pixie Dust and painted the butterflies and light blue background just to add a little sparkle, then I remembered some buttons I had in my stash and just had to use them, charms, brads, ribbon from my stash.

Guest Designer Challenge at Doodle Palace

Hi all, Oh boy can't tell you how excited I am, here is what I created for my Guest Designer Post at Doodle Palace this week. This is my First Easel Card placed on top of my first four drawer box, also new for me Yes my FIRST GT position!! Oh perhaps I mentioned that LOL! So I thought NEW was appropriate for the challenge, you can also use a NEW technique, use something NEW or NEW born baby theme, entirely up to you, I have used the USS Ark Digi Image created by Dee, it is coloured using my touchmarkers/copics, I paper toled the duck, giraffe and sheep, not too clear in the photo but the heart dsp is behind the giraffe dsp, so there is a row of hearts all round.

I have stitched around the edges, embellishments, flowers, flower brads are from my stash. The rhinestone brads and ribbon are Stampin Up. I found a tutorial on Splitcoaststampers by Beate Johns, then discovered this talented lady Kirsten for the four drawer box, not to blow my own trumpet but fairly pleased with how this turned out, not easy when not using purple LOL! Just lately everything has been Pink. Our friends daughter is expecting a baby any day now, so hopefully I have guessed right or I shall be back to making a blue card LOL.

Second Easel Card - Baby Boy

Hi all, tried to schedule this post, but couldn't figure out how (dim wit me) so will try another time as I was just playing. I will be showing a couple around our coaster campervan tonight so(keep your fingers crossed we sell). Our neighbours had a little boy yesterday and they have named him Zac, so whipped this up today, now for those that follow will think where was the first easel card, can't show you yet, but had so much fun had to make another, could not believe how easy they are to do. The image is from Doodle Palace, just adorable. I have used my favourate colouring medium Touch Markers and my only two copics (all say or poor thing) LOL! There is special effects on the tyres, elephants trunk, the birdy and eyes, also on some of the polka dots, just not too clear.

Distressed and sponged around the image, brads in the corners. All the dsp and ribbon were in my scrap box, sentiment from my stash.
