Glitter Me Silly

Tuesday means a new challenge over at A Spoonful of Sugar and this week it’s Summer! We want to see summery things on your cards and projects so pop over to the blog for some inspiration from the fabulous DT. I have used a GORGEOUS image by Alota stamps on my card this week. It was very generously sent to me (along with some other gorgeous ones) by my blog buddy Kate – thank you hunny. I have coloured with promarkers and a bit of stickles and the sentiment is a rub on. I thought nothing says summer like a bit of bunting! The papers are from SU – Sweet Always (my favourite).

Pop back later for my Passion For Promarkers DT card. Our colours this week were picked by me – Moss and Poppy (very festive in the middle of the summer eh?)

There is a rather appropriate theme for this week’s challenge over at Cupcake Crafts – It’s Summer, picked by Kathrin. We have had some gorgeous weather in our neck of the woods and as my strawberry plant is now bulging with fruit I was inspired to ink up my fabby SU stamps (Tart and Tangy) and made this card.

I love this stamp set but haven’t used it much since I got it. I don’t know why, it just hasn’t been the right occasion!! Everything on this card is Stampin Up! (except for the rub-on greeting) and I used my Marvy brush markers to ink up the strawberries.

Right, it is Sunday afternoon and I am doing this as a scheduled post. We are entertaining our new neighbours with a barbie in a couple of hours and as the place looks like a bomb’s hit it I’d better skidaddle and get it put right!!

Have a great Monday.

Over at Passion For Promarkers there is a fabulous tutorial written by our wonderful DT member Michelle. We were kindly given a gorgeous image hand drawn by Ruth, one of our wonderfully talented regular visitors to the blog. She is in the process of having her images made into stamps so watch out for her beautiful work in the near future. She has allowed not just the DT to work their magic with this image but everyone who wishes to have a go too. We are hoping to see lots of wonderful entries on the blog so pop over and print it off and have a go at it yourselves (just please make sure you say where it came from and give Ruth the credit she deserves!!).

I have used Stampin Up papers and CS as well as my Promarkers. Looking forward to seeing your designs.
