Sunset at Sea

Wow, what a difference a couple of days can make, the weather has turned cold and showery, fingers crossed that the sunshine will be back in a day or two.

In the meantime I have another seaside themed card to share with you.

This fabulous sunset image is another image from Delicious Doodles called 'Sunset at Sea'.  After colouring the image with my F&C poloychromos pencils I mounted it on gold mirri card.

The backing paper is out of a DoveCraft pack and the sentiment and and angel fish buttons are from my stash.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Beached

Another lovely sunny day here and there are lots of holiday makers about, our little village has so many strange faces about and it is lovely to hear children playing.

The current challenge at Crafty Boots is “Life’s a Beach/Summer Holiday” and I have been searching my favourite digital stamp sites for suitable images.

This fabulous harbour scene is from Delicious Doodles, it is called 'In the Harbour'.  I coloured the scene with my F&C polychromous pencils and mounted it on blue card and silver mirri card.  The blue script paper is a scrape left over from when I was experimenting with creating my own backing papers.

The backing paper came from a Craftwork Cards paper pad called Harbour Boulevard - the large anchor is part of the design.  I cut a second anchor from another sheet of paper and used Pinflair Glue Gel to space it over the first.

Don't forget to add your holiday projects to the Crafty Boots Challenge.

Colourful Beach Huts

It has been a fabulous weekend in my part of the UK, perfect for a trip to the beach.  I imagine that there are lots of burnt faces this morning.

It is time for the Mid Challenge Reminder for the current Crafty Boots Challenge. the theme for the current two weeks is 'Life's a Beach', anything that reminds you of holidays.

My card features another Delicious Doodles image, this one is called 'Beach Huts'.  I coloured the image with my F&C polychomos pencils and mounted it on blue card and silver mirri.  The backing paper and sentiment are from Craftwork Cards.

I created my own little beach scene with brown Flower Soft and some tiny shells and plastic starfish.  The white picket fence is a die cut.Don't forget to enter your holiday project into the Crafty Boots 'Life's a Beach' Challenge.

Coming Home

This week seems to be flying by, before I completely loose touch with it, I wanted to share another card with you.

It is my second Design Team piece for the current Crafty Boots Challenges, which is entitled "Life's a Beach" or "What I did on my Holiday's".

I do not know where this harbour is but it reminded me of my childhood holiday's - a cross between the Norfolk Boards and Cornwall (although that lighthouse seems a little unlikely in either place).  This beautiful image came from Delicious Doodles and is called 'Coming Home'.

I coloured it with my F&C polychromos pencils and mounted it on silver mirri and powder blue card.  The backing paper came from a Craftwork Cards paper pad called Harbour Boulevard and the anchor came from my stash.

Life's a Beach

Another Monday and the start of a new Challenge at Crafty Boots Challenges.  The theme is "Life's a Beach" or "What I did on my Holiday's".

It is that time of the year when many people in the UK are packing their cases and heading for the beach for the annual two weeks of sun and sand.  Obviously, not everyone enjoys a beach holiday, some people enjoy walking, or rock climbing.  Some people even spend their two weeks decorating their home.  Whatever you do, we should like to see your interpretation in the form of a project.

One of my Design Team Mates recently introduced me to Tiddly Inks and as soon as I saw this fabulous image of Wryn Floating Along I knew I wanted it for this challenge.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and I added just a hint of clear Wink of Stella to the glass, so it twinkles.  The luggage set was a freebie from Tiddly Inks.  The other embellishments all came from my stash and the backing paper came from a DoveCraft  pack.

The rest of the Crafty Boots Challenges Design Team have been busy making some fabulous project, so why not pop by and see for yourself.

On a Winter's Day

I have my final Christmas card (for now) to share with you, which features one of the Delicious Doodles winter scenes, this one is called 'On a Winter's Day'.

As with the previous two cards, I have used my F&C polychromos pencils to colour the image, just to add a little colour here and there.  These images are so lovely, you could easily leave them black and white.

As with the other two cards, I added some twinkle to some of the snow with a clear Wink of Stella Brush Pen and, once again, of the papers used on this card are Papermania's First Noel pack.

There will be a brand new Crafty Boots Challenge starting tomorrow, don't forget to stop by tomorrow to find out more.

Highland Cottage

I do have Christmas card to share with you today and it features another image from Delicious Doodles, this one is called 'A Crofter's Winter'.

As with the card I shared with you yesterday, I have used my F&C polychromos pencils to colour the image.

I am not sure you can see it, but I have added twinkle to some of the snow with a clear Wink of Stella Brush Pen.  Once again the papers used on this card are Papermania's First Noel pack.

As I said yesterday, I have made three similar Christmas cards using these papers and Delicious Doodles images, come back tomorrow and I will share the final one of them with you.
