DT card for Sparkles Monthly Challenge...

I got a lot of post ready for you today,

since it´s the 15th there are a few new challenges to get your hands on

and I´m going to tell you about a few of them...

So let´s start with

SPARKLES MONTHLY CHALLENGE

We got three wonderful and generous sponsors with us

Prize: $10

and

and

Prize : 7 digital images

So what about the theme?

Our talented Helen N has picked

More than one fold

I made a Birthday card fitting any kind of Birthday monster...

Used two digital images from PollyCraft. The sentiment is a freebie from Pysseldags (I think it was). Images are coloured with ProMarkers. I also saw that the pattern paper and image didn´t match each other when I put them together so I had to go over each dot on the pattern with a promarker to make it match. (note to self, don´t do that agian)

Please visit Sparkles Monthly Challeng for more inspiration from my talented team mates and come and play along!

I have again made a Thank You card. I used a sweet stamp called Tawny from Pollycrafts rubber stamp collection, you can purchase it here.

I colour with ProMarkers and added a pattern on her mittens with a white gel pen. Also made some fuax stitching around the edge.

I have used papers from a paper pack called Powder Mountian, by BoBunny. I used an embossing powder on the paper to make it look like it´s snowing.

I used a die cut from Wild Rose studio to make some branches. I also used a few flowers and added a bit of stickles on top of them to make them look a bit frosty.

I stamped the sentiment with a blue ink and then embossed it with a clear embossing powder. Think this is a great way to get your sentiment in the colour you want.

I have again made a Birthday card. I used a sweet stamp called Fleur from Pollycrafts rubber stamp collection, you can purchase it here.

I colour with ProMarkers. The Stickers says Congratulation in Swedish.

I have played along with this sketch over at Sweet Sketch Wednesday. It looks like this:

I have used papers from the same pack as last week, called Bella from Wild Rose Studio. This time I picked the one coloured ones. Stack them onto a purple cardstock. I used a little butterflie stamp from a set called New Heights by Gorjuss Girls and stamped a pattern on the purple paper. I also embossed it once on purple cardstock using white embossing powder. 

I punched out the flower boarder. It´s a Martha Stewart punch. To make it match the butterflie I doodle with a white gel pen on top of it.

This is how it looks inside as well.

I made this card with material from En Liten Butik, check out their blog later this week to find out what I used...

I used my doily behind this cute hippo from Pollycraft. I coloured with my ProMarkers and Faber Castell pencils.
