Happy Birthday Daniel ♥

This one is for my rockstar son Daniel -Happy Birthday dude !
It is also for our Anything goes challenge at I ♥ promarkers this week .I chose this image because it reminded me of Daniel , He is in a band and plays guitar , he even looks remarkably like this character ,even down to the enlarged hole pierced in his ear ! He has the same dark eyebrows  and holey jeans - in fact the only thing different is his hair ,Daniel has his short .
I used craft artist to cut out the image digitally and then overlay it onto a musical background that I created ,specially  Then I added a digital shadow before colouring with my Pms - I was really pleased with the effect

I'ts Willow Sketchie challenge time

Lol - I made a boob and posted the wrong card !

Willow Sketchie have another sketch challenge for you this week, I have used "Dear Santa " and have followed  this sketch designed by  fellow DT member Pauline

Paper Piercing

This week's challenge at I ♥ promarkers is paper piercing, that's right there is an R in it ! it is definitely piercing and not piecing. So get those pokey tools out and get pricking . i  have made quite a few for this challenge ,as I kept mucking it up ! several attempts later and I got one that I was sort of happy with -I have used "poinsetta" from our sponsor -/digi doodle shop

Crafty peeps wanted !

 Come and join our challenge blog -Willow sketchie challenge, we have recently had a revamp and have some new DT members-myself included.Each week one of us will design a sketch that we would like you to follow- you don't have to use  willow products ,anything in your stash will do -we have n't had many entries the last few weeks-So come on over !


Here is my card using Lisa's fab design sketch-I used Missy

An easel challenge

This week 's challenge at I ♥ promarkers  is to  make an easel card , I really like making easel cards ,but I find them quite tricky to photograph !
I have used another fab image from Mo Manning -Elf Mim .
I mad the easel from a frame designed by Einnej, I cut two  to make my easel   and used the out of the frame technique with the image to make it look as if Mim was swinging through the frame

My first sketch challenge for Willow Sketchie

It is my turn to host the challenge at Willow sketchie this week , I also had to design the sketch ! here is my design and what I have done with it

ILPM;s sketch challenge

Willow sketchie Challenge

I am prepared this week , I did n't want to miss posting the challenge again  :)

I have used "taking a snooze " which is available from willow designs brand new shop 

So much for being ready . . .i've had no internet all day except on my phone so could nt post on time after all !

For all of those people who have asked for instructions for the stretch card . . . . .

WATCH THIS SPACE .......

My first stretchy card

I saw some stretchy cards being demonstrated on C and C and thought how good the style looked even though the designs used did nt really appeal so i got my thinking cap on an worked out how they were made and this is what I came up with .

I chose this image specifically to tie it in with our I ♥ promarkers challenge this week  which is -"things with wings "
I cut the words and the stars on my cricut with SCAL2 .
