More Pink and more of Robin's Digis...

This card was made using another of Robin Willis's amazing digi images.  How cute is this?  I absolutely love the sleep suit image complete with rock motive and sentiment that says 'Eat, Sleep, Rock'. 
I used the amazing sketch from the new challenge at Sketch and Stash.  I love their sketches as they are always so easy to interpret and yet give stunning results (even in my hands).
My digi was printed on to white card and then very bravely (that gingham card is pretty thick) I printed the image again on to the pink gingham card, which enabled me to paper piece the image.  A spare white image provided the skull and the bow was coloured using a pink Promarker.
My card is also for the challenges at...
Have a fantastic day again everyone.  Mine has got to be better than yesterday.  After travelling nearly 3 hours (3 buses with half hour waits at bus stops inbetween) I arrived at my First Aid course to find I was the only one there and was at the wrong place.  The moral of the story is when your manager tells you where a course is being held ensure she puts it in writing and then double check with the venue to be on the safe side.  On the positive side I did have a brilliant book by Cathie Glass with me so once on the buses I was a happy reading bunny.

Pink Elephant Day...

 
This week at The Pink Elephant our theme is PINK and I've gone for HOT PINK as my card is going to be a Valentine card for Laura and as everyone knows she loves pink.  Infact we have just decorated her bedroom in this very shade.
The fantastic image on my card is by my incredibly talented friend and team mate, Robin Willis.  Robin has designed some amazing circular digis which can be bought at Squigglefly.  I really love each and everyone of them as they are just so easy to use.  Check out the Robin Willis collection at...
I'm 100% sure you will love what you see.  Also as Squigglefly are sponsoring our challenge this week you may want to get out your pink pens and papers and enter our challenge.  There is a great prize on offer.
My card is also for the challenges at...
Have a fantastic first day of February everyone.  I'm doing my First Aid training today so that should be fun.  Shame it wasn't last Monday though before my 91 year old Auntie poured a mug of hot tea over herself right infront of me.  Think I did the right thing though (applied cold water) and she seemed to be okay.

Snowflake sketch - and it's PINK!...

Well Laura will be proud of me with this card (which may be hers at Christmas depending on what else I get done). It's PINK - well it is in real life - what is my camera playing at? I had an awful time trying to get a photo due to the mirri card anyway and ended up taking the photo at a tilt, which is not bad but not perfect.


As you can see I've used Robin's gorgeous snowman digi again - it's just so cute!! This time I wanted the whole card to be be bigger and have more oomph so I used an 8" x 8" base card to matt and layer on to.

The snowflake was cut at 5" using my Christmas Cricut cartridge - I just love the way you can cut variations of the snowflake shape and layer them up decoupage fashion.

Materials used:
  • Robin's digi snowman image
  • Cricut Christmas cartridge
  • Pink glitter card, ice gold card, silver mirri card
  • scalloped circle and plain nestie
  • gems and silver peel offs from stash
  • Sketch from Friday Sketchers (last week's sketch)
  • Promarkers to colour snowman - touched up with ultra fine glitter
Challenges :
oh uh just gone to schedule my post and have realised today is Friday 13th - eeeeeeeeeeeek stay safe everyone - with the weather as cold as it is and it being 'that day' on the calender maybe it would be a good time to have a 'duvet' day.

hmmmmmm yep it definitely is Friday 13th - spot the error on my card - poor Mr Snowman his carrot nose needs colouring!!!

Snowflake sketch...


I've been wanting to use the amazing sketch at Friday Sketchers all week and I've actually only just made it before the sketch changes tomorrow. I just thought it was such a great idea to have a snowflake frame like this to mount an image on.

The image I've used is from Squigglefly and was designed by my talented team member and friend, Robin Willis, from The Pink Elephant. Isn't that snowman just so cute and I love the words that go all the way around the image - 'Snowmen have cold hands and warm hearts'.

Materials used:
  • icy lilac mirri card
  • white ice gold card
  • snowman digi by Robin Willis
  • X-cut snowflake corner punch
  • scalloped and plain circle nesties
  • snowflake cut on Cricut
  • gems from stash
Challenges:
Have a great day everyone and I hope it's not as cold where you are as it is here.

Thank you so much to great friends who have become followers of my blog. Love having you around.
