Popcorn's Bouquet

This is my Mother's Day card for my gran, I hope she likes it. I have used my new Popcorn stamp, which I like but wish it was a little smaller. As the stamp is soo big I couldn't follow any of the sketches this week as they didn't fit so I went for a simple layout. I can however still add it to a few challenges. The "Fancy Edge and Ribbon" theme over at Crafty Catz, the "Ribbon-Tastic" theme at Cute Card Thursday and "Always Apricot, Chocolate Chip and Very Vanilla" from Tuesday Morning Sketches.

I have coloured the image with my trusted Promarkers:
Popcorn - Raw Sienna, Mustard, Vanilla and Ivory
Flowers - Henna, Burnt Orange and Spice; Mandarin, Pumpkin, Amber and Apricot
Leaves and Stems - Forest Green, Grass and Lime Green
Duckling - Amber, Yellow, Lemon and Soft Lime

Green and Black

I have used the layout from Sketch and Stash (my new stash is the leaf backing paper). I have followed the colour theme of "Green Plus One Other" over on My Time to Craft. This is my first attempt at a monochrome image (though I did add some accents with the flowers) and I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

I have used Daisy from Sugar Nellie and coloured her with Promarkers:
Girl - Cool Greys 1-5
Flowers - Forest Green, Grass and Lime Green

Spring Lamb

For this card I have followed the layout from Sunday Sketch and Stamp. I have used a Spring theme and so can enter two challenges A Spoon Full of Sugar and Stamp Something. I have included both Bows and Buttons and so can enter the Passion for Promarkers challenge and because I have used a Ribbon too I am entering Pink Elephant.

I have again used a Sugar Nellie stamp and coloured her with Promarkers:
Dress - Olive Green, Moss and Pear Green
Apron - Burnt Orange, Mandarin, Pumpkin, Honeycomb and Apricot
Hair - Walnut, Cocoa, Cinnamon and Caramel
Ribbon - Mustard, Canary and Lemon
Lamb - Pastel Beige

The papers are from My Mine's Eye.

Three in One

I thought I had better start making my Mother's Day cards as it's three weeks today. For this card I have followed the sketch from Truly Scrumptious. As it's for Mother's Day I can enter it into the "Mother's Day" challenge at Secret Crafter Saturday and the "Something for Mum" theme over at Quixotic Paperie. I can enter it into the "Metal Mania" theme over at Cute Card Thursday because I have used a toadstool charm.

I have used Penny Black's Guess Who stamp and coloured with Promarkers:
Hedgehog - Cool Greys 3-5, Pale Pink and Almond
Mouse - Terracotta, Raw Sienna and Apricot and Pale Pink
Toadstool - Crimson, Berry Red, Red, Pastel Pink, Raw Sienna, Vanilla and Ivory
Grass - Forest Green, Grass and Pear Green

One Stop card

This is a card I made for one of my colleagues who got married whilst on holiday in Australia. She loved it. I am entering it into the One Stop Craft challenge as I have followed their sketch. I have used a Fiorever Friends sticker for the wedding couple and Papermania Love papers.

Henry Hugging a Heart

The sketch I have followed for this card came from Sketch Saturday. I can enter it into two challenges because I have used an animal stamp: the "All Creatures Great and Small" from Passion for Promarkers and "Four Legged and Furry from Cupcake.

With it being Valentines day next weekend there are a lot of "Love" and Valentine" themes for which I am entering with this card they are:
Papertake Weekly
Whiff of Joy

The stamp I have used is by Alison Acton from Whiff of Joy and I have coloured him with my Promarkers:
Henry - Raw Sienna, Mustard, Vanilla, Ivory and Pale Pink
Heart - Berry Red, Red and Pastel Pink

Apple, Chocolate and Cream

This is my take on this week's sketch over at Truly Scrumptious. I can also enter it into the colour challenge of "Apple Green, Chocolate and Clotted Cream" from One Stop Craft and the "Spots and Dots from Cute Card Thursday.

Sugar Bowl

This is my card for this fortnight's Sugar Bowl Challenge.

This is also my friendship card swap for Heffalump from the Docrafts forum. I hope she likes it.
