MARVELOUS MONDAY AT SHELLY'S IMAGES

Today I'd like to share with you another of Shelly's fabulous images called "A Bad Day Fishing" ...

(Isn't it just so funny?)
This is what I created using the image :

I coloured the image, using Copics, to match the DP's and used an eyelet fancy edge die, through which some twine was threaded. A button embellishment on the corner of the sentiment block completes the card.

Thanks for looking, and before I allow you to leave my page, I'd like to share some useful links with you :

A NEW CHALLENGE AT PATTIE'S CREATIONS DESIGN CHALLENGE BLOG!

Challenge #24, where our theme is SUMMERTIME - PHOTO INSPIRATION!

JUST REMEMBER, if you use an image from Pattie's Creations, you will get an extra entry to win! Stop over at her Etsy Store and browse around. There are FREEBIES too.
We have a photo of Pattie's granddaughters for you to get some inspiration from. You can use it for color inspiration, summer playtime, water scenes, or however it means to you. Make sure you let us know how you interpreted it.

... and I chose to use the colours and the water theme as my inspiration :

The Pattie's creations images I used are PATTIEBOOP WITH SUNGLASSES and one of the BIRDHOUSES that I used to make a beach hut, which was paper-pieced using bleached wood DP. Pattieboop was coloured using my Copics, and the background was a digital freebie I picked up a while ago. The single embellie, a deckchair button, completes the card.

MY PALACE ON LAND - A Day for Daisies

This week's new releases at A Day for Daisies features images from one of my all time favourite fairy tales, The Little Mermaid'.
I chose to use "My Palace on Land" from this set:

and this is my creation:

I coloured the image using Copics, and the highlights were made using pastel gel pens. I added some multi-green glitter glue that I have had in my stash for yonks, that was just perfect for the tail! A few little flower sequins were sewn directly onto the card using invisible thread, and then the card was popped into a frame.

IRL this image, once coloured, has such depth and looks as if it is layered, and I think it has finished up being one of my favourite ADFD creations EVER!

These beautiful images are not the only ones in the set - there are LOADS more! Click HERE to see them all.

A SKETCH CHALLENGE AT SHANNON'S SENTIMENTS

This week's challenge at Shannon's Sentiments is a sketch challenge.

This sketch, although really simple, provides great opportunities for a CAS card, as I have made below :

I have used the beautifully serene lotus image, and the sentiment from Shannon's Sentiment's Store, and followed the sketch, well sort-of cos my circular element is much larger. But it's still the sketch! The image is coloured using Copics and coloured pencils and OMS, and all the BP's are from my stash.

Come over and join us on the challenge. There are fabulous prizes to b e won, and we'd love to share them with you! Click here to see the rest of the DT's inspiring creations and to enter the challenge.

FRIDAYS mean .... A DAY FOR DAISIES NEW RELEASES!!!!

One of the fabulous sets released today is ...

This weeks new releases "It's A New Day"! What a great time of year, the sun is out and the bees are busy...its the perfect time get inspired! The New Blog challenge for this round is to try something bran new. The Design Team has been hard at work trying something we have never tried before using this week's new images! We hope you all get inspired and try something new too!

and this is the card I made :

I used the image called "New Hat" and the new technique I tried was to embroider the hat onto the card, using a needle and raffia. I have used this technique before but on much easier square baskets, so to try this on irregular shapes was a challenge. But it worked! The image was coloured using monochromatics, just a two Copics were used, as I wanted to highlight the hat and the technique.

These beautiful images are not the only ones in the set - there are LOADS more! Click HERE to see them all.

Be sure to enter the challenge on the blog by clicking here to show us what you can come up with.
