B&W

This weeks challenge at Creative knockouts is a anything goes with a image from klm designs mailbox greetings

I like to do black and white cards they can be plain or fancy and this one is in between. this one has been done in a black and white sandwich, it has a splash of colour with the tulips. I come from Dutch parents and my mum always had red tulips in her garden. I then added a bow just to finish it off

Mirtilamente

This weeks DT card for creative knockouts is this image from mirtillamente

The card is anything goes I recently had to do a card for a swap using the Bokeh technique so I thought I would do this using the same technique, had to look on you tube to see what it was, I used a selection of blues with wild honey on the bottom I printed and  the palm trees and image coloured them  with copics, the sentiment came with image

Spring

This weeks card for creative knockouts is this stamp spring flower from star stampz 

For this card I made the base 130 x 125 I went for a blue and yellow, the background paper was from a paper stack, I coloured the image with copics then made the frame with a die that I don't remember who's it was. I wasn't too sure if I wanted ribbon or lace on the card, couldn't find a ribbon I liked so got out my lace bin and right down the bottom I found this lace, it was just the right colour I added 3 little apple blossom flowers did the sentiment on the computer

Chibi

The challenge was to use 2 or more pattern papers My base card is a light grey I used a plain darker grey that I adhered to black card, I used 3 different grey patterned papers adhered to black card and adhered to  the grey card, coloured freddie with copics and adhered him to black card, adhered to the card with foam dots. Once again I have not put a sentiment on the card or inside will do that when I know who I give it to, that way there is no restriction as  to who I can give it to

The base card is cream, the dotty papers are from my stash the dots on the green paper is the same colour of the base card, the other piece of paper I adhered on a slight angle cut out a frame for the image, coloured the image with copics and cut an extra front house to put over the original printed off the wee fairy and coloured her with copics and placed her on top of the toadstool. I cut out the fence and the  leaves and flowers on the cuttlebug

 This DT card for creative knockouts this week is for a anything goes card as the sponsor doesn't provide a image which is ok for me as I get to do my own thing.

I like to use lace, pearls, flowers and such on cards So for this card I started with a yellow / cream base card, and another for adding bits to. The lace is from my stash, (I have a container full of lace and I love the bits I have and sometimes I don't really want to put it on a card and then I think, why not, it's there to be used) I then put ribbon above it and added the pearls The flowers are also from my stash, the larger one I put a pearl in the middle added the other little flowers cut some leaves from the same colour, then made a little angel from a pin and some wings and a pearl did the sentiment on the computer distress inked the edges and adhered to the card
This photo doesn't show the colour of the card but I think it looks nice and it all blends in together
