April challenge Flights of Fancy

Our challenge this month is Flights of Fancy, My inspirational make is more fancy than flight although he has got a few wings on his costume, 

This image is called Captain Thunderpants and it's from our sponsor Dr Digi.

This is definitely a fun card for a male birthday.
Please pop back and get some more inspiration from my fellow DT members, please join in too and see if you can win a fabulous prize.

Welcome Little One, by Amanda

Hi everyone, Amanda here with a little last minute inspiration for this month's challenge: "Welcome Little One".  There's still a whole day to get your entry in and be in for a chance to win two images from our March sponsor, The Stamping Boutique :-)

Here's my card.  I've used their "A little girl with a stroller" image.

For details of what I used, please see my blog, here.

Happy crafting

Chameleons on Noah's Ark

I've used the Noah's Ark image from The Stamping Boutique (our wonderful sponsors this month) for my 'Welcome, Little One' card. The colouring uses my deluxe pack of Chameleon Pens - if you'd like to read my review and recommendations for these 'new' alcohol markers then pop across to my blog. I've used EK Success corner punches to round the corners (half and whole inch) and metallic blue thick card from Conqueror (via Creative Expressions) as my mat. The text is cut from the same card using a Silhouette Cameo (blade setting 5, double cut). Oh, and it's all on an 8" square card that I've also lopped the corners from.

March - Welcome Little One - Angelie

Hi there

Hope you are enjoying this month's challenge and looking forward to Spring!
For my DT project, I've used this cute image from the stamping boutique and coloured it with promarkers. I've compiled the layout in Serif using coordinating embellishments. With the colours being so bright, I think it could be used either for a boy or a girl.

There's still time to add your entry for this month if you haven't already!
