Glitter Me Silly

I have made this card tonight in a bit of a rush for my baby nephew Ben’s christening tomorrow.  I totally forgot to make one so I went scouring the challenge blogs for a nice easy sketch to give me some inspiration.  I haven’t had a chance to enter any challenges for so long as my DT commitments take up any crafting time I might be able to get!  Anyhoo, I thought I’d check out PTW as it’s one of my favourite challenges and Dawny always has great sketches on there and lo and behold there it was – perfect.  I have used some of the gorgeous PTI papers I bought recently (from the Hodge Podge paper pack) and found this gorgeous digi imge over at Mo’s Digital Pencil.  I am becoming addicted to her images and already have a few cards lined up over the coming weeks featuring some of her amazing artwork.  I have used my beloved ProMarkers to colour the baby, namely Tea Green for the dress ( which is a perfect match for the paper I might add – how cool is that?) and vanilla, ivory and blush for the skin. 

Right, I Sky+ ed X Factor earlier so am off to watch.  TTFN!

This colour scheme this week at Passion For ProMarkers is Marine and Emerald and TBH it scared the bejesus out of me when I first saw it!  I had NO idea what I would do with it but when I saw the first couple of samples by the other DT girls I felt a lot happier!!  I think they’re very “oceany” colours so thought I’d use this Mermaid Emma digi image by CC Designs.  Isn’t she fab?  I have used Marine on her top and emerald on her tail (I used the blender pen to bleach out the colour and give the mottled effect).  Her hair is a mixture of Lime Zest (one of the gorgeous new colours), bright green (also new) and emerald.  The added extra for the challenge this week is that you must make anything BUT a card. 

After seeing the fabulous creations my mate Steph makes, I decided to try one of the Lauren Meader Timeless Templates.  I was pretty pleased with the result actually.  The problem is my Olivia snaffled it when she saw it and now I have to make some more for Georgia and Sophie and a manly one for Daniel (he is 10 now so nothing babyish for him!!).  The rest of the DT have made some gorgeous creations so pop on over for a wee look.  It’s also the last week for our first GDT members Sarah and Caroline who have been fabulous team members for the last month.

Oh, and our sposor this week is Yellow Moon who have donated a £10 voucher. 

Okie-dokie – must dash.  Have a lovely day whatever you’re up to.

Hugs,
