Crafty Catz Challenge - Birthdays

-
We have a new challenge for you over at Crafty Catz this week - as always we are anything goes with an optional twist, which this week is "birthdays". Our sponsor this week is Time For Tea, and I got to play with the gorgeous banner girl digi stamp to make this card.




I coloured her in using Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils. The papers I have used are from For The Love Of Stamps polka dots perfect backgrounds stamping pad and American Crafts Dear Lizzy Lucky Charm paper pad. I have used an embossing folder on one of the layers and sanded back the design to reveal the white core of the paper. I have also used a doily die (Sara's Signature Shabby Chic collection) and some Die'sire heart dies. The sentiment stamp is from the For The Love Of Stamps Hooked on You stamp set. Some organza ribbon and Tonic Nuvo drops were the finishing touches. The card measures 6"x6".




I will be entering this one into the following challenges:
Crafty Gals Corner #159 add a heart
Lil Patch of Crafty Friends #76 anything goes
Creatalicious #133 anything goes with optional for a boy/man

      Thank you Jana! I am enjoying using the Spectrum Noir pencils at the moment, and generally find they blend well. They're not perfect and I imagine the more expensive brands are smoother to lay down colour, but they're definitely good value for money.

Crafty Catz Challenge - One For The Girls

Hello all, hope you are well. As some of you may know, I was GDT for Crafty Catz Challenge for January. But they have asked me to stay on as part of their design team...and of course I said yes! We have a new challenge for you today - it is anything goes with the optional theme of "one for the girls". This week Star Stamps is sponsoring us, and they kindly gave us some beautiful images to play with. On my card I have used the Belle Chibi digi stamp. The digi stamp was printed onto Canson "C" à grain paper (it has a bit of a "tooth" to it so is better for use with coloured pencils than a super smooth card) and I coloured the image in using my Spectrum Noir Colourblend pencils. I really enjoyed colouring this one in - I'm pretty happy with how the pleats turned out but I definitely need to practice a bit more! I inked around the edges to give more of a vintage look. The papers are from different pads picked up cheaply (some are some old Paperma...

Crafty Catz Challenge - Black and White

Our new challenge starts today at Crafty Catz , and this week we are anything goes with the optional theme of Black and White. Our generous sponsor is Crafty Sentiments. I had a bit of a play for the first time with my new Scan n Cut CM900 when I was making this card. I cut some of the mats and layers out on the machine, as well as the flowers and leaves. I must say I am impressed with it so far! The centre die is Sue Wilson's Oslo die, with her Happy Birthday Mini Expressions die in the middle. I cut the sentiment 3 times in black card and layered them up to make it more 3D. I have also used Sue Wilson's Diamond Squares background and the Jubilee Petite Striplet for the decorative edges. Some Cosmic Shimmer aurora twinkles glitter glue and some Nuvo oyster white pearl drops were added to finish. I would like to enter this one into the following challenges: Lemon Shortbread #68 anything goes Crafty Gals Corner #166 anything goes Crafting From The H...

Hunkydory Prism Watercolour Pencils

Today I'm sharing my samples made using the brand new Hunkydory Prism watercolour pencils. I had such fun working with these pencils as I'd not used watercolour pencils in quite a long time, and these pencils were just a joy to use. This card uses one of the new FTLOS watercolour wonders stamp sets as well as some of the older FTLOS stamp sets for the butterflies and bees. I've also used one of the watercolour wonders stamp sets for this easel card I've used masking with one of the new watercolour wonders stamp sets to create this DL card. This card uses the FTLOS Fly Away With Me stamp set. I've used the FTLOS Up, Up and Away stamp set on this CAS card.   I've stamped the FTLOS Lovely Lilies onto kraft card for this card. This card has been made using the FTLOS Forget Me Nots stamps and the Blossoming Blues stamp set (for the butterflies).  I've heat embossed the Forget Me Not stamps onto kraft card wi...
