Tie a yellow ribbon ~ Gingerloft challenge ~ DT Card

Well it's another challenge over at Gingerloft this time we are asking you to tie a yellow ribbon somewhere on your card, easy right. My image is called Lighthouse, I have coloured most of it with prisma pencils and sansodor and a little promarkers, the sky is chalks, you probably can't see from the photo, but I have added some clear copic atyou glitter pen to the sea and the light in the lighthouse it gives a subtle sparkle, I have used a spellbinders die to cut the image. The DP is from dovecraft, I have added some raffia and the yellow gross grain ribbon and 2 card candis to that, some blue and white seam binding and a wooden button and anchor charm and the photo corners finish it off. The sentiments come with the image.

I can't wait to see what you all create, and don't forget you could win 3 digi's from Gingerloft

Anniversary card

This card is a request from my friend Rita, her friends are celebrating their 10th wedding anniversary soon. They got married in a castle so she wanted that as a theme. I find myself being tested yet again lol.

I have used 2 images, the couple are from mami's doodles and the castle from squiggle stamps. I have coloured with a mixture of promarkers, sakura glaze and glitter pens and chalk, embellished with GD, the stamps on the image are from LOTV. The DP is from BO Bunny, I mounted the image on to some pink CS, added an organza ribbon, a heart charm then tied in a bow, I have added a doily and some flowers from dinkybutnice on ebay, the leaves are cut with my MS frond punch. The sentiment strip at the bottom is from pink petticoat, the special day ticket is from pink gem designs and the top sentiment is computer generated.
