This week our sponsor is Createful Heart Designs

Remember you need to claim your prize within 2 weeks as per the rules in the sidebar. Also please allow a few weeks for the sponsor to get back to you with any prizes. I'm sure you can appreciate that they are very busy.

So let's get onto to what the team have made this week.  We'd like to welcome Helen and Dawn S as our Guest Designers!

Hello, Billie A. here with my card using the cute image called Murphy takes a nap. I fussy cut him out and then colored the image with copics. I used Basic gray designer paper for the background. The sentiment is from My favorite things and I thought the wall needed a photo so I used Tech. Tues. dies and found a cute mom and child scrap of paper. I finished with a few pearls.

Hello - it's Helen here with my first GDT card.  I'm sharing a card using the very cute Pip hedgehog relaxing in the sun!  I've coloured the digi image using Promarkers and used one of my favourite colour combinations of red and kraft - I chose the patterned paper to match the mushrooms!

Maria : For this Challenge I made a card with Murphy Takes Nap colored with the copic. The stamp has been blended with Distress Oxide forest moss.The sentiment has been embossed with the Ranger Tan powder this color matches everywhere ...On the bone I applied Wink of stella.

Hi Dawn Frost here, I've created a card with Murphy takes a Nap and made it a pick me up card. I used copic markers to colour him and popped up his paws and bone. The background was created with Paw Print embossing folder which I sponged over. I added ribbons and its done!

Hello, It's Sherry here with a card I made using the adorable 'Pip' by Createful Heart Designs. The image is colored with colored pencils. I crimped a piece of red cardstock with a paper crimper for the background and used a distressing tool and distressed ink around the card, paper and image. Taped the paper and image onto the card, then glued on the vine, twine bow and flower.

Hello.  It's Dawn here with my first GDT card for the Colour Crazy Challenge.  I used Pip the Hedgehog from Createful Heart Designs.  The image is coloured with my Faber Castell Polychromo Pencils and the background is done with Pan Pastels.  The backing paper is from a Lili of the Valley pad by Raspberry Road Designs called Baskets and Bunnies.  Sadly I don't think you can get them any more.  I added a sentiment done on the computer and a few flowers to finish off.

Hi there, it's Margo showing you this card I made with the relaxing PIP the Hedgehog from Createful Heart Designs , isn't he adorable ? I haven't used a sentiment yet, I think I will keep him for when someone retires.  I have coloured PIP with my Copic markers and used some paterned papers and according cardstock. Kept the card simple as not everyone likes flowers and things on the card. 

Just fabulous as always!

Hello. This is Melle Clef. Here is the card I've made with the cuuuute digistamp Unicornmania. I coloured my stamp with alcohol markers, a lot of wink of stella, and a little bit off silver and golden gel pens. I used a paper from a very old collection. I had it for ages, but I could also have used the lovely paper included with the digistamp. I glued a shiny golden lace stickers and 3 stars and just added my stamp and my sentiment to the card. It was so easy to make a card with this girly image !

Hello from Elizabeth and I am happy to report that I am also joining in on the Unicornmania craze. This is such a cute image from The Paper Shelter and I am loving seeing how everyone used their creative skills on this darling image. I chose a yellow and pink color motif and used Copic markers for the image and Distress Oxide ink around the die cut frame. A cute banner, gems and a gingham bow finished off this fun card.

Hi again, Vic here, sharing my card for this challenge. The paper shelter let me use this lovely image this week - it's called "Unicornmania."  I thought it would be perfect for my friends little girl, who is turning 4 soon. I didn't want to add a lot of other embellishments on this card, as she would probably pick them all off! Lol. I printed the sentiments and her name, on the pc, and added some glitter  on her name, age and unicorn mane and tail. 

Janet here, I have also used Unicornmania from The Paper Shelter. I ahve coloured her with copic pens. I have used a patterned paper back ground, a die cut border and a lovely pink ribbon. The sentiment is foiled.

I then colored the image with copics. I layered the image on a piece of light gray but didn't like it after I saw it so I removed the image and with Ranger ink went around the edge and reapplied the image. I stamped the Tech. Tuesday sentiment.
