The Paper Shelter Challenge #66

Hi there, what gorgeous weather we are having here in the UK, I just hope it lasts until the Bank holiday weekend and I'm not at work,  had a great visit from my Son and his new partner last night, I think she's as crazy as him, so a perfect match really. It's just so nice to see him so happy.

The challenge this week at The Paper Shelter is VINTAGE or SHABBY CHIC so I can't wait to see your designs. I chose Cute Bavarian and coloured her with copics, I must say I've fell in love with the new paper pack Distinguished, I distressed the edges with ink,used nesties and fiskars border punch, cream ribbon, pearls, paper flowers and pearl clusters.

Nephews Birthday

Hi there, what a fantastic couple of days we have had here, its almost Summer nice and warm with a welcome breeze, I could stand it like this all year.

It's Ian , my nephews, Birthday on Sat, I can't believe he'll be 29 doesn't it go so quick. 

Ians a very dapper dresser he takes great pride in his appearance so I thought this digi would be perfect for him. I only brought it last week from designed2delight I hadn't heard of this digi shop before, but they have some great images, this one I wanted for Fathers Day, they are also very generous with there freebies, if you get chance I would certainly recommend you take a look, they are also very reasonable, this necktie banner only cost $1.00

I coloured it with copics used DCWV papers, personal impressions sentiment, and a bit of ribbon from my stash. I thought I might 3D my next one, I'll take a piccy when its finished.

We are back with this fortnights sketch from the wonderful Samantha, it's a really great sketch to use.

I've used Cool Dude from spesch stamps., coloured with copics, DCWV papers, Whimsy sentiment stamp, bakers twine, nestie's and sunshine embossing plate.

Love to see what you make of the sketch. It would be lovely if you could join us this week.

Twins

Hiya, I was asked to make a couple of cards for a friends twin grandaughters, Olivia and Elizabeth, I wasn't sure weather to make two totally different cards, in the end I chose to do the same image but in different colours.

 I opted for this gorgeous digi with the cute pig from Saturated Canary as they are both animal lovers.

 Krista Smith is such a great artist, I've not seen anything I don't like on her site.  They are very addictive.

I coloured them with copics, used my minds eye papers, fiskars border punch, spellbinders floral dies and some white pom pom braid, the sentiment I printed out on my computer. I'm not sure which colour I like best.
