Meet Mr Doll from Mad For Markers

Well you remember I said there were some lovely dog digi images available at Mad For Markers?  I just had to make another card and this one features Mr Doll and as soon as I saw him I knew he would be perfect for a 'sorry' card so thats what I have made.  I coloured him in using copics E31, 33,35 & 37 cut him out using a Go Create die which I then inked the edges of, the paper is DCWV Natural stack foiled which I distessed the edges of, added some ribbon and a tag cut using my BigShot with a computer generated sentiment using a free font called Bones then finished that off with a little button and some cotton.  Kept this simple as I really wanted Mr Doll to stand out.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Mad For Markers - Who let the dogs out!

There is a fabulous new digi release going on over at Mad For Markers, some really cute dogs (incase you hadn't guessed by my title! lol) which are sure to become a firm favourite among all you dog lovers out there.  For my card I have used 'Silver Iggy' and have had a practice at my fur colouring (still room for improvement! lol) the copics I used are C1,3,5,& 7 and then added some RV06 for the collar. I have used black cs, Hint of Pink paper which I think is Dovecraft, some pink ribbon from my stash, holographic silver s/a border, a peel off sentiment and I embossed one stripe of black cs with a button plate and then rubbed silver ink pad over it for more definition.  There really are some fab dog images and I hope to be back in a day or 2 with another sample for you.  Be sure to check out the Mad For Markers Blog for more inspiration from the rest of the DT ladies, you wont be disappointed.

New card for Mad For Markers

Wednesday is the day for the Mad For Markers Digi DT to showcase their cards for the week over at the Mad Form Markers blog and all things being equal this should be going live at the same time as it goes live on the Mad For Markers Blog (Australian time! they are 10 hours ahead of us here in the UK).  So for this week I have chosen the gorgeous dragon image which is available at the Mad For Markers Store, now I have to admit that this didn't quite go like I expected it to and it very nearly didn't make it on to my card! the colour is far brighter that I had pictured and in the end Ria persuaded me it worked and if I really wasn't going to use then she wanted it! So here it is on my card! lol

The copics I used are G000, YG00, 91 and then I added some sakura stardust.  The papers are Echo Park Times & Seasons, the swirls are cut using my Cricut and the sentiment is a stamp from a set I won last year (funnily enough that has a dragon too!lol)  Do pop over to the blog and see what the other DT members have been up to this week.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Totally Gorjuss #125 ~ Swirly whirly

Mad for Markers ~ Day 2 of previews

So tomorrow is release day over at Mad For Markers online store and here today I am previewing another of the wonderful Fairy Ria images that will be available to buy.  Yesterday Ria sat there with her egg, well today you can see what eggsactly(! lol) was tucked away in that egg.  Yep an adorable wee dragon!  Yes adorable mind you we are a bit biased in this house as we have 2 bearded dragons living with us!  Anyway I digress! lol back to my make for today.  I decided to use the image and add it digitally to a background I made from a digi kit that has been in my collection for quite some time, its called St George and the Dragon (quite apt really) and is by Vicki - A Work In Progress.  After I printed it out I was able to colour the image with my copics and I used BG10, B02, 24, 32, E00, 08, 21, 29, 37, V12, 15 & 17. Once that was done I mounted it onto a piece of MME paper and added the wording Ria's Room using my Cricut.  Really enjoyed putting this one together and I hope that you have enjoyed this sneak peek of the new collection. 

and here is a close up of the image

Now if you pop over to the Mad For Markers Blog you will catch a few more sneak peeks too.  Thanks for stopping by.

Mad for Markers ~ New Release Preview

Yippee the long awaited release of Fairy Ria and her special friend are almost upon us.. All the new images will be available on Wednesday in the M4M store... but today I have a preview of one of these new adorable images so without further ado let me introduce you to 'Fairy Ria' and she is sat with her special egg!  I decided that as we are getting ever closer to Easter that the image seemed just right for an Easter card.  Paper is I believe from Peppermint Creative but it has been stored on my pc for a very long time so not totally sure.  I went with an easel style card, the sentiment was a freebie from a while ago over at Sentimental Sunday and the adorable Fairy Ria has been coloured using copics E00, 21, 47,49,57, BV00, 02 & 31, I added glamour dust to her wings and paper pieced the egg from the same paper as the background but I also stamped on it to give it more pattern, flowers and gems are from my stash and flourishes cut with the Cricut.

For some more sneak peaks be sure to pop over to the Mad For Markers Blog and there will be more previews tomorrow and release day is Wednesday.

You're Invited ...

... to join the Mad For Markers Big Blog Hop on 22 March 2012.  You can find all the details and sign up for it over at the Mad For Markers Store Blog.  So I thought I would use one of the NEW birthday digi images to make an invitation.  I have used Birthday Girl 2 and I have given her a sign to hold,  I did this in PSE5 and added drop shadow before printing it out then adding colour to the image with my copics and stardust pens.  This is one of the great things about digi images -  you can resize and build up pictures and then print them out when you are happy with them.  My papers are I believe by Junkitz and came free with a scrapbooking magazine which must have been about 3 years ago!  cs is coredinsations and then I added gems, button and wire from my stash.  OK so hop on over to Mad For Markers and sign up for the Big Blog Hop, there will be loads of chances to win prizes.
