Stiggys Crafts

This card is for my sister and her hubby who celebrate 20 years of marriage on 31st October.  The love Disney so when I saw these digi images from Sassy Cheryl's I thought they would be perfect.  I have coloured them using my promarkers, mounted them onto red card and , used my perfect layers rulers to trim the card.  The strip across the middle is made up of three ribbons, these were all in my stash having been collected of chocolate boxes etc.  I then used black ribbed card to add some layers these are then mounted onto red and the red star paper that I brought from a local craft sadly long gone now. Finally I did the sentiment in word and used my circle spellbinders to cut them out and layer them onto the card. This card is for the following challenges: Sketch Saturday - the sketch I have followed Cute Card Thursday - lots of ribbon - three ribbons used in the centre of the card Thanks for looking

This card using a wonderful digi image from Bugaboo , called Stella.  She has been printed onto Kraft card and then coloured something I have not really tried before, I struggled with the skin tones but think it has turned out ok.  To make the image stand out a bit I also used my white  gel pen and draw an outline around her.  The sentiment reads: Many years ago the youth fairy flew into your bedroom, landed on your pillow and waving her wand said  " This child shall forever be young" inside it says but you rolled over and squashed her and now look what's happened Happy Birthday I have entered this card into the following challenges Catch the Bug - Anything Goes My Time to Craft - Colouring on Kraft Speedy Fox - Recipe - 1 Ribbon, 2 embossing folders and 3 Punches/Die Cuts 1 - Ribbon - the pink and white dotty ribbon across the middle 2 - Embossing Folders - Dotty Cuttlebug Folder and Swirls and Stars...

This card uses one of my House Mouse wooden stamps - I love these as I think they are so cute. This one is a little mouse relaxing as he floats in the water.  I have coloured him with my promarkers and them mounted him onto shimmer card, although the camera doesn't pick up the shimmer very well.  The striped paper is also glazed to add effect.  Finally he is finished with a sentiment that's been in my stash for ages sorry cannot remember where I got it and some gems for a bit of sparkle.  I also added some glaze over the water to make it look like its rippled. This card is for the following challenges Simon Says - Glimmer and Sparkle I love Promarkers - Autumn Colours Thanks for Looking x Nicky x

I can now get on with some normal crafting, the cards on the top of my desk are ones I did earlier this week. You can see on my desk my wooden stamp drawer is open as I am have just stamped a house mouse image that I am colouring. My promarkers storage is out and next to the pens are some sheets of card printed up and ready to cut and folded to finish my new promarker storage again if you want to see more information click HERE .

This card uses a new digi image from Bugaboo - its from the 12 days of Christmas.  I have coloured him using my promarkers, keeping to Autumn colours to go with the papers I have chosen, and cut him out using my spellbinder dies and big shot.  The papers are from a kit I brought of QVC ages ago, it was one of Dawn Bibby's kits and the spotted card is double sided with the birds.  The sentiment was done in word and then just printed and mounted onto some brown card. This is the sentiment inside the card with just a few feathers coloured to add effect to the words!

This card uses a lovely digi image from Karens Doodles . I have coloured the image using my promarkers and my neon markers.  I then mounted the image onto dark blue card stock using my perfect layers rulers to make sure they were square. The sentiment was done on my brother labeller and then mounted onto the yellow card and finally matted onto the same blue card the image is on.  The circle paper comes from the Born to Shop - Go Green paper pad and then everything was mounted onto a piece of red card from paper mill direct.   Inside the sentiment reads - The best way to get a man  to do anything is to suggest that he is too old to do it!
