TPS - Anything Goes


It's time for our Summer Break challenge over at The Paper Shelter and it is ANYTHING GOES.

I have used the image Genie in the Lamp for my card this week, I just love the cheesy grin.

The image is coloured with Copics with some added Spectrum Noir sparkle pen over smoke.

I kept it simple with a couple of die cuts layered up behind my image and some designer paper on the inside of my card.



This challenge is for 4 weeks, so plenty of time to enter our challenge.

TPS - Lots of Layers

It's time for a new challenge over at The Paper Shelter and the theme this week is LAYER IT UP.

The image I have used is Steampunk Girl and I have coloured her with Copics.

I used various scrap backing papers and also cut some cogs on my Silhouette Cameo to go with the Steampunk theme of the image. 

Finishing off with a little banner die cut.

TPS - For that Special Man

This weeks theme over at The Paper Shelter is FOR THAT SPECIAL MAN.

A specials Man in my Life is of course my 13 year old son, so I made this card for his Birthday this year.


I have coloured the image using Copics.

The background circle is coloured with a sparkle posca paint pen.

I picked a backing paper then topped with strips of scrap card to match my colour scheme.



We look forward to seeing your creations over on the Challenge blog.

TPS - Lets get down to Work

Here is my latest Design Team card for The Paper Shelter, our theme is LETS GET DOWN TO WORK.

Choosing an image was easy for this challenge as my Niece has her Birthday soon and she is a Police Women, so I have of course used Police Officer Female.

I kept the layout simple by just matting a layering and adding a little bling down the side of the card.


Come join our Challenge with your work related projects.

TPS - Add Texture

Spring is here and the garden is looking lovely, so I wanted to give a sense of Spring in my DT card this week.

The new challenge over at The Paper Shelter is ADD TEXTURE.

I have used the image Lotus Fairy and coloured her in some lovely Spring Colours using my Copics.

For the texture element of my card, I embossed some lilac card stock and then brushed over with a darker lilac ink, to bring out the embossing.

Finally adding some lovely flowers to the corners to frame the image.



We look forward to seeing you over on the challenge blog.

TPS - This Beautiful Earth

The 22nd of April was World Earth Day and it seems fitting that this weeks challenge at The Paper Shelter  is called THIS BEAUTIFUL EARTH.

I have a bit of an obsession with Toadstools, I think it stems from all the fairy books I read as a child!

So the image I have used this week is A well kept Garden.

I have coloured my image with Copics and used a Posca pen to add white dots to the little guys top to match the Toadstools.




I matted and layered with circles dies and a dotty background.  For embellishment I added some die cut butterflies and a moon (I liked the swirls).  Finally I stamped a sentiment.

Come join us to celebrate out beautiful Earth and be in with a chance for a prize.
