Di's Digi Stamps Wheelbarrow Ted

Hello there!

I was lucky enough to win some images from Di's Digi Stamps over on Etsy and I chose Wheelbarrow Ted as one of them and made a retirement card.

I also used:

Promarkers

Die-namics wonky stitch rectangles dies

Pink Petticoat sentiment (sadly retired)

Stampin Up punch

papers from the Works

glossy accents and black gems

white gel pen for highlights - not sure if I drew them in the right place but never mind!

challenges:

I love promarkers. - A/G or transport

passion for Promarker challenge.-special-anniversary-challenge. A/G

as you like it challenge favourite-sketch-layout-and-why? this is my favourite sketch because I like to use 2 different patterned papers (mostly a dotty one on the bottom) separated with ribbon half way with the image in the middle.

allsorts challenge - paper piecing or A/G

The weather has been so lovely for the past few weeks here in Devon but after tomorrow it is going to be raining  - boo hoo! So no more gardening but perfect crafting weather so that is the up side!

Spellbinders Flower Cart - Mothers day card

A change from a House-Mouse card today:

I have broken my no new craft items spend with this die from Spellbinders - Flower Cart. In fairness I had saved lots of pennies so I thought why not! I used Make & Create Vintage Romance papers and Crea-Nest-Lies - XXL ticket square die. I wanted to make the sign into a chalk board so I heat embossed a Stampin Up! sentiment (Heartfelt hello's) in white embossing powder and then added a bit of chalk around it. I cut the flowers from lots of snippets of coloured card and added Stickles and liquid pearls to the centres. To finish off I added some candy dots - remember those?!

challenges:

Pixies snippets playground challenge - (must use snippets) here are the snippets I used:

I didn't end up using the pink one on top but used other green snippets not photographed!

Simon says stamp Monday challenge Transport it - I figured my cart transports flowers!!

thanks for stopping by and I hope you manage to find some craft time today!

House-Mouse decoupage card

Hello from a beautiful sunny Devon day 🌞

I think this image is from the House-Mouse decoupage cd and the papers are old Stampin Up!

There wasn't enough room for a sentiment so I didn't add one 😃 but I did add some of my favourite glossy accents to the strawberries to make them shine 🍓. The image is not cut out perfectly so please don't look too closely!!

House-Mouse easel card

Like all of my other House-Mouse images I printed it off a long time ago and can't remember which cd rom that I used 😞- I think it might be the Joanna Sheen triple cd. I must be more organised like the lovely Jules-always with a heart blog  . when she prints off images/papers she then puts them into folders with the name on so that everything it kept together - genius!!

The papers are Crafts Consortium and I used Glossy Accents on the jar and cherries to make them shine.

Just to say ...

I printed off this image a long time ago but I thinks it is from the Joanna Sheen Gruffies and happy hoppers cd rom. The blue dotty paper is also from the cd and the flowery blue paper is from my stash. The sentiment is from LOTV and I used SU punches and glossy accents.

as you like it challenge. -favourite-stamping-or-digi-and-why. - for me I prefer stamping (even though todays card is digi!!) because I have more control over hand stamped images also I find computer printer ink cartridges so expensive so I use them sparingly !
