I've use a House Mouse image coloured in with promarkers and then I cut it out and put it on an oval, cut out with my Cricut. All the papers are by K& Co. I embossed the two strips at the bottom with cuttlebug embossing folders. Then I just added the gems for embellishment.

And here is my card
I've used an Elzybell's image called "A Winter Song". She has been coloured in with promarkers and a sakura clear star pen. All the papers are from a DCWV pad called Rose Tinted Christmas and have been layered onto pink cardstock. The swirl and corners are chipboard which have been coloured with a lilac promarker and edged with the sakura pen. On the corners I have added some lilac gems and for the swirl I used versamark ink on a magnolia snowflake stamp to stamp the images, I then covered them with SU stick and heat powder and then poured over SU dazzling diamonds glitter. You can't really make out that they are snowflakes I think I should have used a less intricate stamp. Finally I added the 3 pink gems underneath the image.
I've used a Whiff Of Joy image for this one called "Charlie 007" isn't he great? I've coloured him with promarkers and highlighted with a white signo pen. The papers are all from Stampin Up and are called Spiced Cider. The senitment is also from Whiff Of Joy.If you would like to join in with this week's challenge you can find the blog here

I've used Carol singing Charlotte for this card and she's been coloured in with promarkers. A little clear star pen has been added to her hat. I also inked up the edges with a chalk ink. All the papers are from Bo Bunny Press, the Shabby Princess range. To embellish the card I added a strip of Papermania sticky ribbon and 3 green gems.
I had to download a paper off the net as I had nothing Halloweeny. I cut it to the size of an ATC and then ripped another piece to put along the bottom for some depth. I then coloured in the Halloween Tilda with promarkers using some sakura clear star to colour her bow, dress and the thistle. I then used a tape writer to make the sentiment.I hope you will join in with this week's challenge, you can find all the details here

This is the top of the box with the gorgeous little House Mouse image. He has been coloured in with promarkers and layered onto some SU Dashing paper. The box itself has been made with red card and I used a SU wheel with red ink to make a pattern all over it. Then I tied the string around and knotted it up. Just a layered bloom with a little gem to finish off.
Here is the inside of the box. I used a piece of acetate to make the window and stamped over it the same way as the box. I then added some more string and another layered bloom. The tab was made from a Word window punch from SU.
Quite a simple card because the paper is so gorgeous. It's from the DCWV Once upon a time pad. I cut out a piece that had the words on and then cut out the decorative square to 3D it onto the bottom right of the card as that was a little bare. I cut out the Magnolia images and coloured them in with promarkers and in true fashion I used a sakura clear star pen which hasn't shown up at all. But in real life it is very sparkly. The images have been adhered with 3D pads. And that's how I left it.If you would like to join in with this week's challenge go over to the blog it's here

For the main image I've used a Whiff Of Joy stamp called Lying Matthew with sentiment which was kindly sent to me by Patti :0). He's been coloured in with promarkers and a hint of clear star pen on his wings. The papers are all from Rusty Pickle and are from the Mayflower range. The "Happy Birthday" is a rub on by Making Memories and the little gold star brads are from HOTP.If you would like to have a go at the challenge you can find the Friday Sketchers blog here

All the papers are by Cosmo Cricket and they are called Fleuriste. Gorgeous papers! I've stitched around the edges with a grey thread and in a zigzag stitch. The image is a House Mouse stamp and is called Wreath Love. I have coloured it with promarkers. Now onto the embellies.
The blooms have been made with handmade papers which I punched with two different sized flower punches. To decorate them I stamped onto them with black stazon using a Stampin Up stamp from the "Simply Said" set. I then adhered the smaller one to the centre of the larger one and then added a little gem to each one. I used 3D foam pads to attach them to the card. The little bow at the top right has been made with a scrap of material. I stitched around the edges to tidy it up a bit. I then tied it in the middle. We were not allowed to use ribbon so I made this to look like a ribbon. Finally I made the two hearts with shrink plastic. I used the same SU set "Simply Said" to stamp onto the shrink plastic. I coloured in the image with a sakura gelly roll gold pen and a sakura clear star pen. I cut around the images and punched a hole in the top of each of them. I then shrunk them down. To "hang" them I threaded a gold thread through each of them and hung them from another handmade paper bloom.
So fingers crossed now!!
And here is my card.
For this card I used a terracotta cs for the background and you can't see it but I embossed it with a diamond cuttlebug folder. All the other papers used are from the new SU catalogue and it's a designer paper called Spiced Cider. The photo doesn't do it justice , they really are great colours for a masculine card. The image is called Matthew with present and he has been coloured with promarkers. The sentiment is also from the Whiff of Joy collection. I didn't want to use the blooms like the sketch as it felt too feminine but I did add some brown and cream brads.

Well Autumn is definately upon us now and the leaves that are left on the
trees are brilliant shades of gold here in Cornwall. This week's theme is to
create an ATC using the Golden Tones of Autumn as your inspiration.
I've used last year's Autumn Edwin for my ATC and he has been coloured the usual way with promarkers. The background papers are from Basic Grey Mellow. The top paper I just stamped some leaves onto it. I've stitched around the edges and then just added the gems.http://tildaandfriends.blogspot.com/
