Well I am so glad that it isn't raining but cloudy and very warm ain't much fun either - why can't we just have some nice sunshine?. Time for another DT day at Redonkulous Designs and today I am using Seduction Suzie.

that's all from me , hope you are enjoying the Olympics, 2 golds for Team GB today, hurrah!!!

What No Markers???

Something different from me today, no coloured images. I decided to have a go at my new Spellbinders dies and just use a sentiment as the focal point of the card. Quite pleased with how it turned out

I used Stampin' up! cardstock and papers. The dies are Floral Ovals and the sentiment is Penny Black.  I was going to add a bow but got all fingers and thumbs with tying it and gave up!

My Favourite Things!

This card is for a competition to win $200 dollars of MFT goodies and the chance to be a Guest DT member. All the details are HERE . Now I don't actually have any MFT image stamps so I am hoping the sentiment stamp is sufficient to qualify. It is from their Polka Dot Greeting stamp set.

The image is from Saturated Canary. Her hair is coloured with Copics, the rest of the image is coloured with Pro and Flexmarkers. It's the first time I have coloured hair with Copics, I really like the colours. The papers are Bo Bunny and I have have used Die-namics Upsey Daisies for the flowers and leaves, adding a pearl in the centre.I also added Stickles to the bubbles.
Here is a closer look at the image

I absolutely love the dies from MFT. They cut perfectly and there is such a wide range available. I just need to acquire more of them lol! Fingers crossed that I can win some of their products and try out some of their images too.

The papers are MME Lime Twist and I added a big bow with some scrummy ribbon I acquired recently - love it!

TGIF!!!

Hurrah, no more work for 2 weeks and our school finished today for 6 weeks. Just hoping that the weather improves as I am not jetting off to sunnier climes unfortunately! Been up since 5.30a.m. as couldn't sleep. Here is the card I made this morning

The image is Whispy from Saturated Canary and I have coloured her with Pro and Flexmarkers. Papers are Teresa Collins and the sentiment is a Die-namics set. It is not quite in a straight line but I think it looks okay as it is handwriting type script. The flower is from Spellbinders Aster set with a pearl added in the centre. I used shimmer paint on her wings and added stickles to the frills of her skirt for extra sparkle

Share it on Sunday

I so want to scrapbook more but the time always evades me and I never seem to have enough inspiration. Pinterest is a great place to look for ideas and here is what I found today

You can find all the details over HERE. I adore the papers they have used and the layout is fabulous. I am definitely going to make a page like this....one day! I should be at my local crop today but we bought a new caravan yesterday and need to go collect it after lunch. Hoping we get a good summer so we can enjoy it.
Have a good Sunday, hope to be back with a card later. Meantime why not pop over to the Sugar Nellie blog and see what else is being shared this Sunday.
