Wicked Wednesday

I was saddened to read that Jenn is thinking of closing down Wicked Wednesday

- I love participating and try very hard to do so every week...

There is still time to enter this week and there are still a couple more challenges before Christmas - so all you ATC makers out there - pledge your support!!

This week's Challenge is

Winter Hats or Accessories

and the sponsor is Miss Rach

I have used Piggy Heart coloured with Spectrum Noir Markers and die cut with a stitched circle.

I started with a pink rectangle matted with a mitten DP from DDDoodles

I then added some 'holly' as a scarf embellishment and a Christmas hat - red card decorated with a small pompom and glitter glue.

I will link this to Wicked Wednesday #239

Happy Crafting!!

PS - another great Miss Rach image that I have used before would also fit this Challenge...

Wicked Wednesday #237

Just a quick post to share an ATC I've made for

Wicked Wednesday Challenge #237

Cinderella

I started with a 2.5 by 3.5 rectangle of gold card matted with

a pink background from Glitteratti on which I had printed the Dragons Lair Designs

retired dancers image.

I then added a wooden clock, ribbon and shoe.

Wicked Wednesday #236

Last week I started to make a couple of ATC bases - white card layered with strips of blue card and then a snippet of DP that was lying on my worktable.
I made this ATC...

Today I have finished the second...

I just added buttons, ribbon, a snowflake and a hat - this just turned up on my worktable - I think actually it is a japanese dress that was on a phone tag...the other side is more colourful! The white buttons tend to look a different colour in the photos - they are quite alike in reality!

I will link this to Wicked Wednesday #236 - Winter

Happy Crafting!

Wicked Wednesday #235

For some reason I have missed a couple of WW Challenges - don't know how...

Anyway Wicked Wednesday #235 has the theme

Close Ups

I started to make a couple of ATC bases - white card layered with strips of blue card and then a snippet of DP that was lying on my worktable.

To the first I added Cat head from Vera Lane which I think was part of a set.
I printed this on white, added a pink pearl for the nose and googly eyes and stuck it in place.
Finally I added Meow in beads on a red ribbon...

I will link this to Wicked Wednesday #235

and also SUYP Challenge #12 - One year old!! - Thank you Ike!

You will see the second next week...

Happy Crafting!

Another week gone and just one day left...!!

Today my 31DOH post features, to start, my make for Left of Center...

Challenge #154 starts this weekend at LOC "Halloween"

Our sponsor is Bloobel Stamps

I have made two ATCs using the images Hubble Bubble and Sweet Zombie,
coloured with Promarkers and cut out.

The bases are scraps of purple card matted with some 'Wrinkle Free Distress'.

I then added the images and skeletons (earrings!)

Looking forward to seeing your makes in the LOC challenge!

I have another couple of ATCs to show you today too...

These started with scraps of purple card then neon yellow. The next layer is watercolour paper printed with an SU stamp from 'Lovely as a Tree' - and then with added colour from Color Burst powders. Find more details here.
I then overstamped with small stamps from SU - a witch and a cat.
Finally I added bat confetti.

Happy Hopping!

31 Days of Halloween BLOG HOP Day 21

Today I have a set of 5 ATCs to show you:

For the backgrounds I have again used recycled greeting cards run through my Big Shot in M-bossability Twigs. I then painted them with black gesso and added turquoise Inka Gold.
I cut these into small rectangles and matted each piece
onto bright yellow Neon Card.
Next I added a selection of 'Glow in the Dark' stickers.

These two then had Smeared Ink images added, coloured with Promarkers, cut out and with Glossy Accents painted on them.

This one is Devil Boy.

This one is Smell My Feet Pumpkin Head.

The other three use Vera Lane images - also coloured with Promarkers, cut out and painted with Glossy Accents.

This one is a Whimsical Witch with added buttons.

The next two are from Pumpkin Boy and Cat

I added google eyes to this one and I will link this to Wicked Wednesday #232

Happy Hopping!

31 Days of Halloween BLOG HOP Day 13

No more clues for yesterday's competition - so far I have had several correct answers!

The winner will be drawn out of a hat from all correct entries!

There's still plenty of time for you to join in - take a look at yesterday's post...

there's a surprise package in it for someone...!!

So what's todays make? A pocket letter - or rather a collection of 9 ATCs.

If you have been following my 31DOH posts you will already have seen the bases:

I mentioned them on Saturday - spritzed 'rusty hinge' distress ink mopped up with papers and overprinted with Crafter's Companions Splats and Stains.
I cut this into small rectangles and matted each piece
on either black or flourescent orange card.

Next I printed my Witch image from Vera Lane 9 times and coloured them with Promarkers. I differentiated the images by using different colours for the dresses and bags.
I then cut them out.

I added these to the bases and added spiders - and one bat image.

I will link this one to Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge #231 Cute or Creepy

Finally they went in a plastic folder...

Happy Hopping!

Don't forget the giveaways on the side bar...

31 Days of Halloween BLOG HOP Day 8

Today I have two more pages in my minijournal to show you.

I have used some of the super Vera Lane Halloween images to make these ATCs.

First I prepared my background - mopped up spritzed 'rusty hinge' followed by stamping with black Stazon using Crafter's Companion Splats and Stains rubber stamps.

I have used this to make many ATC bases - here's a 'craftie' of my table showing these:

I will link this to Winnie and Walter's Craftie Challenge

For the four ATCs I am showing you today I trimmed the background to small rectangles and matted them onto black ATC size rectangles. First I added strips of ribbon to each one with double sided tape.

I coloured the images with Promarkers and attached them to the bases.

I will link the second of these witches to Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge #230

I added two to the minijournal.

Happy Hopping!

Wicked Wednesday #229

Wicked Wednesday #229 has the theme

Fins, Feathers or Fur

So without further ado here is my ATC - I used scraps from my worktable for the background, some orange ribbon and an owl embellishment as well as the image, coloured with Promarkers.

The image is a freebie from Jessica Lynn as part of the Coffee Lovers Blog Hop

- I will submit this ATC there too...

Happy Crafting!

LOC Challenge #149

Challenge #149 starts today at LOC "Bones"

Our sponsor is Lacy Sunshine

I have used McNutty - Briar Whimsies coloured with Promarkers, cut out and placed on an ATC. (Following a LOC theme rather than 'Bones'...)

The background is black card - then a snippet from my scraps followed by several diecut leaves and acorns.

These dies are from Craftstash and are called

Apple Blossom Leaf and Acorn Die

You might remember I used them in a couple of videos?
The paper I cut the dies from was some 'wrinkle free distress'
which was left over on my craft table.
. I then used the dies as stencils to add some brown markings, and then distressed the pieces around the edges with 'scattered twigs' and 'mowed lawn'.
