Good morning to you all and welcome to the latest challenge from

Rainbow Lady.

Thanks for joining us last week, we enjoyed visiting you all and leaving comments on your blog.

This week our sponsor is the lovely Steph who I am sure you will know is from Create & Craft.

Steph also has her own shop stocking lots of fabulous goodies for us crafters.

Our challenge this week is:

TIE A YELLOW RIBBON

My DT card is shown below

RECIPE

Cream Pearlescent Card Base

Core'dinations Card Stock which has been embossed and sanded

Topper from Basic Grey - Mellow - Deciduous Collection

Nestability Label Die

Flowers and Yellow Ribbon from my stash.

I am sure you will all know the song 'Tie a Yellow Ribbon Round An Old Oak Tree' so I incorporated a few trees amongst my design to fit this challenge.

Do pop over to see what the rest of my Teamies have been up to this week, stunning designs as always.

We hope you will join us again as there is a prize up for grabs for one lucky entrant.

Thanks for popping by today, I appreciate your comments.

Challenge 35 - Birthday

Good evening all, on a roll today. As football is on tv tonight I decided I would join in with my good friend Ann's challenge, which is 'BIRTHDAY'
Ann's challenge finishes at midday tomorrow, so just made it in time.

RECIPE

Pearlescent 5 x 5 Card
Backing Paper from Basic Grey - Porcelain Pad
Marianne Die cut using pearlescent card from my stash, I can't remember who I got it from other than it was at the NEC last year.
Happy Birthday Sentiment bought from Sincerely Yours Craft Show earlier this year.
Flowers made from punches using the same backing paper to which I added a Gold Pearl.

Thanks for looking, I appreciate any comments you might like to leave.

DIGI STAMPS & PROMARKERS

I have been experimenting this week with Digi Images & Promarkers and wanted to show you my first card.
My Digi Stamp is from POLLYCRAFT called CODI - STYLIN

She has been coloured with Promarkers in various shades then the edges of her design have been distressed with Adirondack Inks in shades of Lettuce & Butterscotch.
She has been layered onto backing paper from Basic Grey - Porcelain collection.
To complement her I added several flowers in shades to match before adding a Fleur-De-Lis die from Spellbinders. I gold brad attached this to the card.

I have ordered quite a few Digi Images this week so you may see more designs shortly.

I would love you to leave me comments, good or bad.

It wasn't until I had finished colouring my image that I found VIX who had some tutorials for colouring hair and faces. Her blog is well worth a look and she is a DT for JILL who in turn has a fabulous blog.

Recycle With Craft Stamper Freebie

The latest FREE Stamp from Craft Stamper Magazine plus a recycled Biscuit Wrapper.
5.25 x 5.25 square base card to which I added a backing paper from Basic Grey - Sultry range. The gold paper is a biscuit wrapper recycled. Stamp is the latest one with February issue of Craft Stamper and has been designed by Glenda. Glenda has lovely sample cards in the magazine using this stamp. I have subscribed to the magazine as I think it is the best around for stamping and techniques.

2nd WOJ Card

My 2nd card and a complete change of colour for me.

Again a 5.25 square card covered with Basic Grey Paper - Scarlet's Letter range. Image has been coloured with my latest colours of Promarkers and are an usual choice of colours for me, but then I have to experiment LOL.

A strip of Bronze card from my stash was added to one side and flowers in 3 colours from Prima complemented the backing paper.

Not sure if this is really me, but with practice and experimenting I am sure I will improve.
