For my card I have used Popcorn Bear Special Couple stamp which you can get here, which I have  coloured with promarkers. I've then mounted the image onto some silver mirri card.

The black and white backing paper is Papermania and I have used my fiskers heritage corner puch on the corners. The red card is from my stash I think it is bazill it has a lovely sheen to it. I have used the same card and my woodware border punch to make the strip that goes down the middle of the card. The sentiment is from the same stamp set.

I hope you will stop by a check out the other DT girls cards as they are all fab and I can't wait to see what you all come up with.

Well we have another fab challenge over at Stampin with the Dragon this fortnight we want you to make an easel card with a theme of love / wedding. One lucky person will win images from Stamping Dragon Designs and a pack of  promarkers. The DT were given some new images to work with for this challenge I chose Rupert's wedding.

 I have coloured the image with promarkers, with some stickles on their wings. I used tiny gems in Penny's flowers in her hair and white stick on pearls on her flowers. They are mounted on some vellum which has silver leaves printed on it.

The DP is from Papermania the pink card is bazill which has been run through my hearts embossing folder. Behind the image you can just see the is a strip of grey card which has a sticky lacy paper border stuck on it which I have coloured pink with my promarkers to match and then layered a piece of silver ribbon down the centre. The roses are from Wild Orchid Crafts.

The sentiment is a rub on from papermania and I have added a couple of little pearls to tie it all together.

The DP are Basic Grey Archaic which has been matted onto bazill cardstock.

The image is another one from Lili of the Valley again coloured with promarkers, I have added some white highlights to the balloon with a white sakura pen and some glitter to the flame on the candle with a sakura gelly roll pen.

I have distressed all the edges with my scissors and then added distress stickles around them all.

The image is coloured with promarkers, I've used the blender pen on the dragon's wings to try to make them look translusant. I have added a little Anita's 3d gloss to the lady bird.

Again the flowers are coloured with promarkers to match the image, with centres punched from the DP  this time I have used brads to hold them together. The leaves are cut with a woodware punch from the DP.

I have made a buckle style card for this challenge I used this tutorial on Splitcoast Stampers. The gold cardstock is from a seller on ebay it has a lovely sheen to it which doesn't show in the photo, I've teamed it with cream card for an elegant look. I've embossed the front of the card with my cuttlebug and attached  a couple of nestie circles to the buckle to create the sentiment. The sentiment is a rub on from papermania. To finish the card off I have tied a bow in cream ribbon and attached a small gold heart charm.

Last Fathers Day card

Phew this is my last Fathers Day Card just in time, I've used the sketch from Sketch Saturday for this card. The DP is from MME Wild Apragus pack which I have distressed and inked with distress inks. The cardstock is bazill and the sentiment is printed off the computer.

The image is one of my new stamps from Sweet Pea stamps which I got from Crafts and Me, this stamp is called Bubble I have coloured it with promarkers and have used my blender pen to shade on his tummy & wings and also on the cloud, I'm quite impressed with myself as this is the first time I have been able to get the blender pen to create a nice smooth finish it usually looks all blotchy. I've added some distress stickles to the edge of the circle and his wings and the bubbles he is blowing have some anita's gloss on them.

Then the second image I have cut the window frame and curtains out. I've then used some flowery ribbon from Crafty Ribbons and attached it to the frame of the curtains, then this  fram is attched over the top of the first picture with foam pads. 

The Dp is from a papermania pad and the sentiment is a Daisy & Dandylion one.

Spider Henry

Sorry the pictures not great all the mirri card made it hard to take a photo there was either to much light or not enough anyway think you can get the idea. For this card I have used the fab freebie digi from WOJ Spider Henry.

I have coloured him with promarkers and then mounted him using foam squares on to a circle of silver mirri card he was originally swinging on a vine but I cut this off the image and have inserted some silver cord through his hand for him to swing from. Behind the silver I have added another circle this time red miri card which I have drawn a spiders web onto with a white gel pen. The DP is a papermania one.

This sentiment is free digi unfortunatly I can't remember where it was from, the star is punched red mirri cardand then I've drawn a spiders web on with a white gel pen.

The green half circle is cut from DCWV card and then embossed on my cuttlebug.

I have coloured super dragon with my promarkers and used some white glitter on the clouds to give the picture a little dimension.
