Anyone for Anya

We have a colour challenge for you this week on Anyone for Anya. The photo below is the inspiration. I loved the pinks and purples but didn't have any designer papers to match so I made my own. I've chalked the background then stamped with versacolor inkpads and finally spritzed with glimmer mist. I really like how it shimmers in the light. The flowers are also home made, they're cut with Marian Design dies. I've used my absolute favourite Miss Anya, I don't know why but I just love colouring her. So there you have it - my card for this week which I love.

I look forward to seeing your entry. We are sponsored, this week, by Bunny Zoe Crafts and you can win two single Greeting Farm stamps or one set. Please remember that you are only eligible for the prize if you enter a card that uses a Greeting Farm or CC Designs image.

Anyone for Anya - Lotsa Layers

This week at Anyone for Anya the challenge is Losta Layers. Basically we want to see some dimension on your cards. So you could decoupage part of your image or part of the paper, or you could just layer up your papers. How you interpret it is up to you and as long as it isn't just a flat piece of work, then that is fine. As you can see I've gone for layers of papers and on my flowers. There's a fab stamp set up for grabs this week so why not join in?

Sweet Sixteen

One of my nieces will be sixteen this month and this is the card I've made her. I'm actually a bit behind cos this has got to go to Australia and it won't get there in time. Bad Aunty :( I've had my first go at an easel card and am pleased with the results. They're just coming into summer down under hence the bright and cheerful colour scheme. Hope she likes it.

Just noticed that this week's Cute Card challenge is to make a card for a teen so I'm entering.

My First Attempts With Copics

I finally bought myself a few Copic markers. I spent Sunday morning watching video tutorials on YouTube and then had a go. I've only got the Ciao skin tone set so my colour choices were quite limited but I found them really easy to use.

The bear is a Pink Petticoat digistamp. I didn't have any paper that really matched the pink hence the relatively clean and simple card. I'm entering this one to the Cute Card Thursday Eye Eye challenge. The papers on the Miss Anya card are from the Take My Breath Away set of digikits by Sweet Digi Scraps.

I only got a few Copics because I wasn't sure I'd get on with them, now I just need to buy myself a load more colours ;).
