Funkilcious!!!

Here's a card that I made for our School's Chaplain, it's his 30th birthday today so I was asked to make a musicky, hip, funky card for him with a slightly 80's theme. Not much to go on with there then...????

Anyway, I thought the background paper was a bit 80's, funky and reminded me a little of lava lamps??? So I added some of that and then downloaded one of Kenny K's Designs. You can't see it in the picture but I also decoupaged the shades and the drums.

I added some coordinating ribbon and the wording was printed around the image on my PC. I added some cool black suede feel dots and coloured the image with my promarkers; lime and pear green, black, china blue, cocoa, blush and ivory. I highlighted certain areas with a white coloured pencil and my silver and gold sakura gellyroll pens.

Hope you (and he) likes it?
Thanks for stopping by today and don't forget, I will be announcing the winner of the Hodge Podge digi stamp on the 30th November, so you still have a little time to leave your comments on the post.  Good luck!

Funky Chick

And my final card for today before I go to bed.

This was a lucky find.

I went onto google and typed in 'free children's colouring pages' as I was looking for an image (not used before) for a birthday card for a teenager, thinking Scooby Doo or Spongebob would come up. And I came across this free colouring image by Kenny K no less!!!! Fab!  So, I double checked that it was FREE and then proceeded to print it off and colour it in. I am sooooo pleased how it came out. So of course, I am giving all credit to the fabulous Kenny K for being such a fab artist and all the other credit goes to me. I am loving this card and this image. I think I did an 'okay' job on this one and Isabella loved it when she received it. Ahhhh, that's what making cards is all about... 'knowing that the recipient is chuffed that you spent so much time and effort into making a one-off special card just for her (or him).

Anyway, I hope you like the card and thanks for visiting my blog today.
Hope to see you all again soon.

Remember, the Hodge Podge Shop challenge begins tomorrow, so be sure to pop over and find out how to take part. Hope to see your fab creations.

Take care, my friends

Pretty in Pink

This card is a belated 18th for URSULA.  Another fab Kenny K Digi Image (I just love these girls, although I do have a fella too, I just hven't put one on a card yet because everytime I print one out, Lewis colours him in!!!).

This image was perfect for Ursula, iPod included etc and I kept the colours quite neutral as she is a genteel girl and very pretty. The bold colours in the DP was enough colour for this card I thought and therefore I think the image stands out all the more.

Coloured with promarkers: blush, ivory, cinnamon, cocoa, denim blue, blossom, ice grey 1 and cool grey 3. Simples!

Added just a few flat paper flowers by Petaloo and a couple of gems. Hope you like her?

Thanks for stopping by

Bad Babe

Here's a little number that I created for a colleague at work to give to Katie for her 18th.  I just love these Kenny K digi stamps. This is such an easy one to colour and I really enjoy using all of these images.  I used some scrap DP from my stash. I printed the image and, after colouring her, mounted the image onto black mirri card. I then mounted the lettering to match and stuck it all down.

I used ProMarker pens; blush, bashful, denim blue, black, pastel yellow and canary.

The letters below the image were my freehand, vain attempt at grafitti. I think they're okay. The adhesive numbers are from Tesco.

Thank you for stopping by
