Duckie

Good afternoon, well the snow has returned, we have woken up to it a few mornings this week thankfully it's gone by the afternoon.

We are still on stay at home order and as our state is one of the worst hit we are likely to stay that way for a while.

My card today is inspiration for Sherry West's Duckie naming over on her Facebook group:

What I Did:

I resized and printed the digital stamp onto stamping card. Poppi Pokkadott and her duckie friend was then colored with alcohol markers. I matted a 7x5in card base with color coordinating cardstock and polka-dot design paper - Poppi needs her pokkadotts! I matted the image with the same cardstock. I then colored a pre-cut bow to match Poppi's outfit and added yellow punched dots for the polka-dots. My image was arranged on the card and the bow adhered in to place. I then arranged a die cut sentiment in the corner, trimming it so it fit.

What I Used:

Digital Stamp: Sherry West Art: Poppi Pokkadott and her Duckie
Stamping Card: X-press It
Alcohol Markers: Copic
White card for base: Core'Dinations Premium heavy weight
Teal Cardstock: Tonic
Yellow polka-dot paper: Polkadoodles digital papers
Bow: Craftwork Cards
Sentiment Die: Unknown (was a gift)

Thanks for stopping by, As always you can check out my team member's inspiration designs over on the Sherry West Facebook Group.

Un-Frog-getable Day

Good Morning It's new release day at Scraper's Delights and it's going to be an un-frog-getable one!!

Yes there are some gorgeous frogs available in the Scrapper's Delights store from today and I have been coloring up 2 of these little darlings

Moonlight Serenade Girl & You've Stolen My Heart:

       

Aren't they adorable and they also have other friends which my teamies will be showcasing over on the Scrapper's Delights blog and Facebook group.

I colored You've Stolen My Heart first using my alcohol markers. I had to make him look dapper in that top hat:

I then matted him and some digital design paper onto bright Green card. I then used a stamp set for the sentiment and circle die-cut again matting these onto green card. once all the elements were completed I then arranged them onto my card base.

He looks as though he's ready to propose to someone and who knows it might be this cutie - Moonlight Serenade Girl:

Again I colored her using alcohol markers. I used a corner punch to round the corners before matting the image onto pink card. I then did the same with some leafy design paper. 

The sentiment is from the same stamp set as I used above. Corners were rounded on this and again it was matted onto white card. 

I then assembled my design onto a pre-made scalloped card base. I thought the die-cuts just enhanced the image and I even cut one of the music notes up so I could add the single notes to the image.

On to my Design Team card for inspiration:

 

 

A few weeks ago it was James's birthday and I never got round to blogging about his card so thought I'd do so now.

most of the stash I have used on this card are from the Polka Doodles Pretty Tuff CD.

I printed off the pre-colored images and then fussy cut them along with the wooden fence. I also used one of the game elements, I reduced the size of this using my graphics program and placed it in the hand of the boy sitting on the floor. All the items were then arranged on the backing paper - again from the CD. I used a circle die to cut out the sentiment and placed this on a scalloped piece of brown card. I used the same card as a mat on the card blank and added some Craftwork Cards Card Candi just to finish off the card.

Onto my Design team make for this challenge:

 

 

I have used Gemma and Bella's Spring fun stamp they have been colored with  my Spectrum Noir markers. I have then used a spellbinder die to cut the image out and a distress ink to tint the card.

I used a scalloped card blank folded into an easel shape and glued the image to this. The backing paper is from Lili of the Valley and I have matted this and my sentiment onto lilac card. The sentiment, which is a stamp from my stash, acts as a stopper for the easel.

 

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you leave some love before you leave to join the challenge!
