Crafty Catz Challenge - Use Pretty Ribbon

-
It's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Catz, and this week our theme is anything goes with the optional twist of "use pretty ribbon". Crafty Ribbons are sponsoring us this week, so one lucky person will be winning a great prize! We are also having a GDT call for March, so why not give it a go.




The image I have used is from Crafters Companion's Halcyon Days range, printed from a CD rom. This card is actually the one I gave to my sister, who's birthday was yesterday. This image was perfect because I have bought her a voucher to go for afternoon tea as part of her present! The dotty paper is from the For The Love Of Stamps polka dots Perfect Backgrounds Stamping Pad, and the cream one is from an old Tatty Teddy paper pad (the striped cream paper is from a cheap unbranded paper pack). I added kraft card, a die cut doily, pearls and of course some pretty ribbon. I used some lovely polka dot cream organza ribbon (by Three Kings Ribbon), and added a bow too. I distressed all the edges of the papers using a pair of scissors to give a vintage feel. The finished card is 6"x6".




I will be entering this one into the following challenges:
A Bit More Time To Craft #62 anything goes
Crafty Creations #360 anything goes
Creatalicious #133 anything goes with optional for a boy/man


Thanks for stopping by today and hope you all have a nice weekend whatever you're up to.

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...
