Another circle easel card

I enjoyed making my first circle easel card the other day so I thought I would have another go at one. This time I have used red card as my base, which I have cut out with my scalloped circle nesties. I have used a digi image from Karens Doodles and cut this out with a plain circle nestie and matted the image onto some yellow card also cut out with a larger plain circle nestie. I coloured the image in with Promarkers in the following colours, Berry Red, Tan, Yellow, Dusky Pink and Warm grey 5 for the tyre on the unicycle. I then cut out a small scalloped circle with my nesties and got a yellow prima flower on top of a red flower and secured with a brad then attached this with 3d foam tape.

One for the kids

I went to the Alexandra Palace Craft show yesterday and brought some lovely things, one of them was this lovely stamp from Lili of the Valley, I brought some of their new stamps that are not being released until later this month too called Busy Bears.

I have printed off the spotty/dotty paper from downloads I had already purchased from Pink Petticoat, I printed off three sheets of the different colours. I matted and layered this paper onto the same colour card then stuck to the card. I have followed the lovely sketch over at Papertake Weekly this week. I have coloured the image with Promarkers. I printed the word Goal in brown onto white card and matted and layered this onto green card cut out with my scalloped circle nesties.

Herbert with cupcake

For this card I have used a Karens Doodles Digistamp called Herbert with Birthday Cupcake. I have followed the sketch over at I love Promarkers. I have coloured the Herbert image in with my Promarkers, Apple, Meadow Green, Pale pink and Baby Pink and a very light blue around his eye.

The pink backing packing is from a 6 x 6 pad of Forever friends paper. The green dotty paper has been printed off by me from the Pink Petticoat lots of dots download. The pink card across the page has been embossed using a cuttlebug folder. I decided to add silver peel offs around the edges as I felt it needed something else and added little pink gems to the top of the cupcake.

Birthday Turtle card

Happy Easter Weekend to everyone, its been raining down here in Dorset so I have been busy in my craft room coming up with this card. I have followed the sketch at Our Creative Corner and have cut the card with my scalloped nesties to create a stand up circle card. The image is an adorable digi stamp from Karens Doodles, I am really loving her images at the moment. I have used four colours of Promarkers to colour the image in, Meadow Green and Apple for the Turtle and grass and Pale pink and baby pink for the flowers, candle and cake. As the card is quite small I have managed to use all my scrap pieces of card to make it which is handy. I have stuck the image to green card and then using 3d foam to raise the image I have stuck to the pink base card.
