Squigglefly Challenge #53

It's time again for a new Squigglefly Challenge and this one is great. we have to incorporate a piece of NEWSPAPER into our card.
Here's my card

I chose Ragtime Reader by Cheryl Alger as my image, that was the easy part (i love this image) I chose the colours I wanted to use. Then I had to pick a piece of newspaper. I went through about 6 newspapers trying to find just the right piece. LOL. I didn't want anything political, best not put any personal/ relationship ads either (not really appropriate for a little girl to read), I didn't want anything with pictures or photos. At last I settled on this piece. I tell you it took so much longer to find this piece than it did for me to put the whole card together.

Squigglefly's Latest Releases

Squigglefly's latest releases are here and there are some fabulous ones to choose from.
I have chosen to showcase an image by artist Cheryl Alger aka Sassy Cheryl. I have made several cards previously with Cheryl's designs because I think they are just gorgeous.
This one is called Birthday Cupcake

 I have printed the image on SU confetti white cardstock (those 'dirty' little spots are actually in the cardstock unfortunately it doesn't look so good in the photo).
Today for something different I opted to watercolour. My watercolour medium of choice is Lyra watercolour crayons, they are nice and vibrant plus they are easy to blend.

The designer speciality paper is from Basic Grey and  I coloured my image to match these papers.
What do you think? I think I matched pretty well. Colour matching does take a little practice but I have been colouring for a long time now, so my advice to you is practice practice practice.

Until Next Time

Sealed with a Kiss

As Valentines Day is fast approaching SquiggleFly decided this was the appropriate theme for this weeks challenge #35.  Make a Valentines Card in non traditional colours.
The image I chose is from the fabulous Cheryl Alger and is called Special Delivery. The sentiment is one I created.
I chose cream cardstock to print my image on and coloured with Prismacolor Pencils.
I cut out my ovals and circles with Nestabilities. (petite ovals and classic circles). The swirl was punched twice in coffee and chocolate cardstock. (doesn't that sound YUMMY).


The cream cardstock is confetti by SU, all other card is from Bazzill. The designer paper is from Rachel Greig (Darkroom Door).

SquiggleFly: New release and a challenge

Saturday means it's time to look at SquiggleFly's New Releases. There really is fabulous images to choose from.
This is the card I have made for today's new releases as well as for this weeks SquiggleFly Color Challenge over on SNR (scrapbook news and review) Card Universe.
The colours this week are Red, Black and Pale Yellow.

This image is absolutely gorgeous and she is called 'Birthday Gifter'. It is by a very talented artist called Cheryl Alger. I am very taken with her designs and will feature them quite a lot. Here is one from a couple of weeks ago.
They are just beautiful. The images have fine lines and I find them such a joy to colour.

I am having such a good day card making I thought I would show you another card. This is another of Cheryl's designs called 'Up in Arms'. It was released just last weekend

Until Next Time
