Now lets take a look at the fabulous creations this week... however we need to give a warm PD welcome to our newest PD DT team members; Jackie and Jessie.

Jackie - For the new challenge of using patterned paper I have made an easel card using the digi "Maddie With Present". She is such a sweetie! Details for colouring are on my blog.

Jessie -  I have used Winston Bear Etty Friends for this card and coloured her up with my inktense pencils. I have used 3 patterned papers, I tend to use lots and lots of layers on my cards so I even tried to keep it to a minimum this time. The white pannel actually has flowers and dots embossed on it even though the camera didn't pick it up very well. A little ribbon and some enamel dots finish off this card.

 

Naz - The image I have used here is a combination of three separate digis. The owl called HATS OFF TWIGGY is from Twiggy and Toots collection. BEAUTIFUL BIRDHOUSE 1 and the cat. I coloured the images with Copics and used foam adhesive to adhere it to the card. The Happy Birthday sentiments that I have used are also from Polkadoodles. To finish off the card I added some stitching for embellishment.

Ria- hi, this week I am showing you Snow White coloured with pencils. I created the card with the Eden Collection. 

Hi Bev here with my idea for 2 or more papers. I browsed through my Polkadoodles collection and decided to go back a fair way..... to Paper Boutique 2 Creative Christmas Collection there are some fabulous ideas and templates on this collection. Feel free to pop over to my blog to see how I achieved this look.

Anita -  Hi there today for my 2 papers or more inspiration I used the fabulous Work and play 11 and the skater girl image is available Here.. The papers are super lush and I have used 3 different ones, plus the awesome skull cutting file.

Jenny - I have had a mix of collections for my card this week, my two patterned papers came from Dollie Daydream Goes East and my topper is from the Serenity collection.

Yvonne - I had a wee break but missed my teamies so much I snuck back into the team when Nikky wasn't looking! It was inevitable that my first make back was going to be Serenity. I used Serenity Butterfly which you can get as a single digi image or as part of the digi download collection. Serenity is also available as a CD-Rom too. I used one of Nikky's Frame Digi Files, this is Frame 1.  I used one of the papers from Serenity and one of the papers from the Distressed Wood collection.  The sentiment is from the Serenity Collection and the flowers are from Octavia Moonfly Collection.

Wendy - You'd expect having to use patterned papers would make your project look quite busy, well I've gone down a different track and done a clean & simple card. All aspects of my card are from the Twiggy and Toots collection. You can also all the papers as a separate bundle here and the butterfly, which is part of the embellies bundle, can be bought here.

Anjie - I have used the Oddella with Bag digi, and papers from the Octavia Collection. I have coloured Oddella in with my Graph'It Markers.

So much wonderful inspiration.

Guest Designer Jackie Maunder...This week I've had fun colouring the gorgeous 'Maddie with Present' digi from Polkadoodles store.Embossing using a double sided Spellbinders folder and a Spellbinders die today. Embossing on white card always looks so crisp! Pop over to my blog for colouring details....

Naz - The image I have used here is from WORK and PLAY 10 COUNTRY LIFE called FOX DIGITAL STAMP. WOODLAND LOG/TREE is from TWIGGYand TOOTS OWLS Collection. Like I said in my previous posts, I like to combine different stamps and images form different collections. I coloured the images with Copcis and added some watercolour pencil for shading and added few pearls and some stitching for embellishment.

Bev here with my take on this fortnights challenge. I used the brilliant Bonbon Belles Collection for my easel card, honestly Nikky has crammed so much on these two discs that you'll be ooing and ahhhing for hours! I've had to take time out of DT duties recently and have been struggling with my crafty mojo but it's great to be back!

Ria- For my card I used my favourite collection TWIGGY AND TOOTS ;) sorry I just can't help myself I have to use them Alot hihihi So I combined Twiggy Hats off and one of the birdhouse stamps and coloured them with Pencils. My embossed parts are on the Tattered Lace Dies that I used.

Anjie -  I have used Serenity Earthstar from the Serenity Fairy Wishes bundle. You can also buy the image individually HERE. I have used Graph'It Markers to colour her in and the embossing is done using a folder from Tattered Lace.

Jenny - I have also used Serenity but I chose Butterfly she is from the Serenity Wishes Bundle and individually too. I have used both Graphic markers and Copics, I have used a corner embossing folder for something a little different.

SerAnita - Hi there today I have used the adorable collection from Cherry Blossom lane cd collection , I 

used the pre coloured image it's so cute, I also used an A4 embossing folder.

Wendy - I've used two different types of embossing on my card, both heat and dry. The image I've used is A Gift for You from the Twiggy & Toots collection.  You can get the full collection here, or just Twiggy as a digistamp here.

Now onto this weeks beautiful inspiration from our Design Team.....

Dawn:   I have used a precoloured image from Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses, which can be purchased  here or the full CD set here & mirror imaged it to show 2 brides as I have a friend whose daughter is marrying her  partner  later this year. The papers are from the same CD as well, as is the sentiment & champagne bottle & glasses. More details on my blog.

Asha: I was in a super girly girl mood when I reached out for the adorable Pretty Sweet Mini CD collection. Calling it Mini is an understatement! This CD is packed with the prettiest, sweetest, most darling images and papers. I used little Maddie as my focal image and she was a delight to colour with my Graph'It markers. Maddie with Present is also available as a single download digistamp. 

Scatty Jan - I decided to make a shaped card for this challenge - I made this sweet little baby card - The Pink checked paper is from Cherryblossom Lane collection. Added in some lace, Ribbon and a little Bow. I then added on little Etty from the Winston collection CD, which is also available as download,an also Etty as a digi that you can find here. layered up to give a little depth.

Ashley Lydia- I decided to make a very girly card using the fabulous princess and carriage from the Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses which you can find here. I made a glitter frame for dimension, and added some flowers that I dyed with chalk to match the purple and pink theme as well as some adorable hearts from the embellies of the WP9 collection. The princess is pre-colored but I added some vibrancy using my markers, its a great idea to go over the colors and practice your coloring skills =) 

Cheremane - I have used the fabulous Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses Cd you can also get the Bride & Groom as a Digi download Here. I adore Ribbons & lace so this was a very easy challenge for me. I printed the papers and distressed the edges with Milled Lavender distress ink, I used a lace edge punch on one of the papers, I die cut the pre-coloured digi image and distressed inked it before removing from the die to get a shadow. Finally added Ribbon Lace, flowers pearls and heart charm and a touch of glitter to the brides dress to finish. Pop on over to the Polkadoodles Shop as you will find everything for all your crafting needs and wants all in the one place.

Karon - I decided to use the wonderful Rose Budd Papercraftng Cd collection.  Everything on the card is from this fabulous collection, except the real bit of lace down the left side and the pearl dot on the ribbon.  Even the lace underneath the lace (lol) is off the CD.  Inked the edges and added a little dimension to the flowers with foam pads.

Christine I used Saucy Wedding Night   digi, I colored her with Spectrum Noir Markers and colored pencils.  The fold is one I found on Pinterest.  I used the cut files from the Work And Play 9-Love and Kisses Collection, and the papers from this wonderful set. I added some ribbon and lace on the folds of my card. 

Agnieszka - hello Crafters :) Today I want to share with you my card, which I prepared as an inspiration for Ribbons and Lace.  I  used pre-coloured image from Work & Play 9 Love & Kisses - Full Download Bundle.  As I love a lot of embellishments on my cards - it was a pleasure created this card. I added a big ribbon bow in purple, paper and fabric lace, a few flowers, cristals and dies cut - my card is ready, hugs.

Anna -  This time, I made an Easter card again, in shades of violet, with lace, ribbons, eggs and flowers. The card is made from paper from the Winston collection CD , more pics on my blog .

Lou: I have used one paper and oodles of embellies from the Octavia CD/download to create my card for this challenge. I had a great time fussy cutting all the pieces; it was so relaxing and rewarding. More photos can be found on my blog ...

Fabulous inspiration!
