Ahoy Matey inspiration post

I'm late again (I belong in Alice in Wonderland!)

This should have been posted a few days ago.. sorry..

I used Ahoy Matey to decorate a folded book for my father in law on fathers day. (He loved it)

I am new to book folding and this was the first I'd made and actually given as a gift. The digi went with it perfectly.

I coloured her using Promarkers

Hair - walnut, coca, sandstone, satin

skin - apricot, oatmeal, blush

dress/hat/shoes/belt - cool aqua, duck egg, sky blue, true blue

I used some co-ordinating papers from  my stash to mat and layer her.
Printed my own sentiment.
Twisted a pipe cleaner with blue twine to look like rope to  decorate the spine of the book.
and wrapped red and white wool around a curtain ring to look like a life bouy.

Please pop over to Karleigh Sue and join in the latest challenge.
We love to see your projects.

Kind Regards

Theresa

Just a walk in the park

Nerdy Cute

by Cheri

for Karleigh Sue

I love this sweet image. All set to go with her books on the way to the park to sit in the shade and maybe study.. maybe not.

I printed her onto neenah cardstock and coloured her with promarkers and spectrum noir pencils then imported the coloured image into Craft Artist 2 where I removed the white surrounding the image and added the countryside background.

Hi there everyone, Rachel here with you today with a bit of a cheeky card.... you can leave me your suggestions on who I should send it to in the comments section if you like :P

I have used 'Cuddie Buddie' 

from the karleigh sue Etsy shoppe

to create this fairly CAS layout

The papers I used were from Prima, and I finished the card off with some ultra chunky 4mm 

silver half pearls.. I love them for adding a little bling!

Waves of Grief

Hey there Karleigh Sue fans!  Today I am popping in to share a bit of mid-week inspiration with you.  For today's card I am using an image that is so lovely, and has been on my lost for some time.  She is called 'Waves of Grief', and you can find her here in the Karleigh Sue Etsy Shop.  I kept my card fairly simple, as I believe the image say so much on it's own.  I would love to know what you think.

Lets Go Team

Heres an awesome image called Lets Go Team by Karleigh Sue Designs, and how cool for footy season! Seeing that I live in Cairns Ive gone for colours that are used in the Cowboys NRL team.

To make this card I have started with a kraft card blank and then matted it with a grass paper and then football sayings paper from Kaiser craft. My banners that have been stapled to the top have also come from Kaiser Craft. I coloured our team gal with copic markers and then cut her out and popped her out. To finish I stamped a party sentiment and cut it out and popped it up too.

The colours that I used are :

E13,E15,E18,E50,E33,E35,Y15,Y17,B21,B24,B26,E000,E00,E01,R20

Genie Wishes

Hi everyone today Im sharing a new Karleigh Sue stamp with you called Genie, isn't she gorgeous!

To make this card I started with a glittery gold card blank and then used a pre made card that had a black board panel on it. I white embossed happy birthday onto it. I coloured my genie with copic markers and then cut her out and popped her up with double sided tape. To finish I added some gold ribbon, a couple of gems and a teapot button.

Here are the copic markers that I used:

Love Notes

Love Notes

Isn't she the sweetest little Postlady! I do love these images..so crisp and clear and so very easy to colour. This time I pictured her in a little English Market Town early in the morning when it is just starting to warm up with the bunting fluttering and the birds singing with the town looking so clean after last nights rain. I printed her onto neenah and coloured her with promarkers and spectrum noir pencils. Then I used Craft Artist 2 to remove the white and to create the Town background. I do hope you will join in with the challenges here http://karleighsuechallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

I wish you the best of luck with your entries. Sue xx

 what better time to share a cheery male birthday card

using Karleigh Sue Topsy Turvy cake

I coloured it with the following promarkers - turquoise, powder blue, arctic blue, sky blue, raw sienna, terracotta, chestnut.

I used some papers and matching sentiment that were free with a magazine.

And cut 6 circles with a punch and turned them into candy.

Happy 4th of July-American Beach Babe

 It's a Super Star Spangled Saturday-

What's on your agenda today? If, of course, you are living in the USA...I am sure you are celebrating in a super fun way!!  My bestie, of 30 years, is visiting this weekend.  I am so excited- we plan on eating, drinking and relaxing...throw in a few movies and we are set!  So for this special day- I wanted to share American Beach Babe with you.

I always use Copics to color with- I have to start writing down the colors I use.  And the pattern paper is from an old Bo-Bunny line.  I hope you have a little time this weekend to buy a few digi's from the Karleigh Sue ETSY store and enter your project over at the Karleigh Sue Challenge BLOG.

Have a BLAST this weekend,

Amy

P.S. I would love to see you become a follower of my BLOG. xoxo
