Inspiration for Get Inky! Challenge!

Just wanted to share my idea for the Easter/Spring Challenge at Get Inky!

Here's my card:


 I have used the fabulous Backside Bunny digi and Easter sentiment from Get Inky!
All I did was print the digis on brown card and cut out the paws in pink...
I matted the sentiment on pink and the DP (from my stash).
Just a matter of layering and then adding a flower for the bunny's tail!

Happy Crafting!

Friday Favourites

If you are looking for the Smeared and Smudged Eggy Blog Hop please go here

But it's Friday so I was doing ATCs...

Actually I started doing a very quick little class
 showing someone how to decorate and egg -
 here's my example!


I used Fresh Brewed's 'Curious Chick' coloured with Promarkers and stuck to the egg.
I used acrylic paint dabbers to add more colour and then crystal effects.
Finally a gem, a ladybird and the ribbon...

Later I was onto my ATC's -


The same digi with Promarkers, fine glitter and green fluff and a few embellishments.

I am going to link this to Fresh Brewed's April Candy

where the prize is:



My other two ATC's today used Bugaboo images (Cute Butterfly and Spring Boot).
 They were coloured with Promarkers and embellished with bits and bobs from my stash.
A second boot was cut out and fixed above the first with dimensionals and painted with crystal effects to give some shine.





Happy Crafting!

'Eggs' traordinary Blog Hop'


April Monthly Member Blog Hop


(If you have reached here by chance,
 and you want to start at the beginning, hop back to Black Dragon...
 otherwise, take a look, make a comment and hop on!!)



The challenge was to decorate an egg - these eggs are not mine -
 I was given them as a present from Poland a couple of years ago.
 They are beautifully decorated though -
 and how on earth did they do that lacy one with all the holes?

It was bad enough to just blow the eggs that I decorated!

This challenge also required a stamped image -
 so I printed some Smeared Ink digis (small), cut them out, and attached them to my eggs.


Here are three finished eggs:



Recipe:

Digi is 'Octopus word'. This was coloured with Promarkers and then sprayed with Distress Reinker Misters in blue and green. Finally a coat of Crystal effects was added. Ribbon, button and beads to hang.
'It's about Time Hourglass' digi - I thought this was sort of appropriate as an 'eggtimer'! This was covered with Distress Crackle paint and then covered with spritzed 'worn lipstick' Distress ink. Ribbon and beads to hang.
'Hallokitty' digi. The whole egg was coloured using an acrylic paint dabber (copper). Ribbon, button and beads to hang.










This is the hop order:

Just a little ATC

To make this ATC I used a digi from Get Inky!
It is the backside of a bunny going down a rabbithole!

 I printed the digi on brown card and cut it out - adding pink card ovals to the bunny's paws.
For the background, I used a scrap of  Chocolate Chalet - Sparkle Delight 12 x 12 Paper.

Finally I added a fluffy tail and 'Down the Rabbit hole!'



Happy Crafting!

LOC Midway Reminder - Sassy Studios - ribbon/flowers


The current challenge at LOC is to use ribbon and flowers in your creation!

The Challenge is sponsored by Sassy Studios and I am using 'Jack and Sally Honey'.

I started with a piece of Chocolate Chalet - Sparkle Delight 12 x 12 Paper and decided to make a very simple wiper card (instructions are on my blog here)

I coloured the image with Promarkers and matted it on to some grey card.
The sentiment was from Kris B at Imagine That!
I tied on a piece of ribbon to finish.

Here is the card as it comes out of the envelope:

 
and here it is open...


Happy Crafting!
