Glitter Me Silly

It’s Tuesday so there is another fab challenge over at Passion For ProMarkers.  This week our gorgeous Norwegian sweetie-pie Ida has chosen the theme and frankly, it’s been a toughie!!!  She is asking us all to use a background on our cards made using ProMarkers!!!  I did struggle I have to say but I’m happy with my final result.  It’s not as clever as the other DT girls creations but it is done using one of my favourite PTI colours, Aqua Mist which is a perfect match for the Pastel Green PM!!

I simply put strips of different width DS tape on my card then filled in the gaps using my PM pen (chisel tip).  Then I peeled off the backing and sprinkled it all with prisma glitter – yay super sparkly!  I used a cuttlebug die for the butterfly and stamped it with Damask Designs in Aqua Mist and added AM buttons and ribbon.  The sentiment is from Mega Mixed Messages.

Right, the more washing to go on the line – can’t get over the weather we’ve been getting here, it GORGEOUS!!

Hope you can pop over to the blog to check all the other amazing DT cards – such a lot of inspiration to be had.  Also, there is a current DT call going on too so make sure you check it all out.

Yay, I’m back on track with my DT cards!!  As I have mentioned I have been burning the midnight oil of late but not in a good way!  We have started a new business (Estate agents) which is taking a lot of time and my usual few hours I have a week to devote to my beloved crafting have been reduced to zero.  However, I did mangage to find a wee bit of time to get my card done for this weeks challenge over at Mo’s which is to use black, white and Kraft on your card.  You can obviously use other colours but the challenge ones must feature predominantly.  I love Kraft on cards and the DT have made some stunning creations as always.  Please hop on over if you get the time and check it out.

Excuse the photography on this one, it was not my best effort!!!  I have used my new scallop border die from PTI on the Kraft borders and stamped them with Polka Dot Basics in Vintage cream ink.   The image is coloured with ProMarkers and I have used a teensy bit of left over paper from the Pink Patterns collection (PTI also).

Right, it is a gloriously sunny day here so I am going to abandon this computer now and take my cuppa outside where the children are all currently soaking each other with water pistols!!!  I may stop to put on a waterproof on my way out!!!

Thought I’d grab a minute to share a few more pics of the little treats I made to sell at one of our school fundraisers a few weeks ago. 

These next ones were totally inspired by my lovely friend Steph.  They’re done using the Sizzix shaker box die and again, PTI stamps and inks.  These are also filled with scrummy mini eggs.

I’ve also just noticed that I have now reached the amazing 400 mark on my blog followers list!!  Wow, thank you so much to everyone that visits me and always leave such lovely comments.  I think it calls for a wee celebration so I will put together a blog candy when I get a chance to say a huge THANK YOU!

Have a great day,
