Karens Doodles - Monochromatic Challenge

Good Morning Ladies I hope you are all well. As you can see from the title of my post this weeks challenge over at Karens Doodles is Monochromatic. 

I had a brilliant idea planned for this project, got my image from the site went home to make the card and noticed my internet had dropped, I couldn't get internet all last night Grrrrr. I had to switch to another image and create something different, which was fine but you know how it is when you get an idea in your head and then can't do it for wahatever reason.

Anyhow, my card is made for a crafting buddy Fiona who is currently poorly in hospital. I hope this cutey pie will cheer her up. 

The papers are by Basic Grey, gotta love basic grey they are one of my favourite papr companies just wish they had more papers for the money. The image is of course a Karens Doodles image and can be purchased HERE

I have coloured this image with Copic markers as always - think I might have another try at water colours haven't used mine in aaaaages.

Good Afternoon ladies how are you today. It has been a lovely sunny day here in the Fens today - shame we don't have a garden would have been nice to have spent more time outside today :( been painting the house instead and fitting a new outside light woohoo.

I have used a sketch today from this weeks Friday Sketchers challenge which can be found Here

The papers are from the 'My minds eye - wild asparagus' set I just bought these and love them to bits - brilliant price too - I bought them at the glitter pot for £9.99 for 36 sheets of 12x12.

Karens Doodles Challenge 6

Good Morning Ladies, I hope you are well today. Are you ready for another challenge? This weeks challenge is 'Things with wings' there are so many images that you can use for this challenge and you can find them HERE 
There are loads of new images and as there is currently a SALE (please see below) you can get even more for your money.

Ok so here is my take on this weeks challenge 'Things with wings' I have made a little folder to hold some of my stamped and printed out digi images. I don't know about you but when I am printing my images I like to print a few to a page so I get the most out of it. Then i realised I have no where to put them so that is where this idea came in.

This is the side view

And this is the inside

The image is called Fairy Princess, I coloured her with copics. The papers were freebies from a craft magazine a few years back. I bought the pink card online. The ribbon is from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated. 

For the images on the inside I made them smaller in word and then cut them out using my nestabilities. I then mounted them on to the pink card and cut around it with my scalloped scissors. 

The template is by Lauren Meader and works perfectly with the Score Pal. 

Ok so now for the prizes of which there are plenty;

We are going back to the same place with them this year on the 26th March to celebrate both of our first wedding anniversarys, can't wait.
I have primarily made this card to enter in to the Totally Stampelicious guest designer challenge. I did however follow the sketch on Truly scrumptious which is shown below;

The papers are basic grays cupcake collection mounted on to some plain blue paper. The ribbon i bought from Malaysia on Ebay. and the flowers were in my stash :) think I am going to have to make a box envelope for this one.
