ATCs using Inchies #2

Happy Wednesday!

I want to show you another ATC using Inchies.

I started preparing a background by painting with spritzed distress inks
and overstamping with some inchie stamps from Inkadinkadoo.


I trimmed these and layered them onto two different yellow cards, and added gems.
My ATC base was made using the same yellow cards.
To this I added a folded vellum envelope.


The Inchies were placed inside the envelope.


I will link this to Wicked Wednesday ATC Challenge

Happy Crafting!

Create and Inspire New Challenge


Today another challenge starts at Create and Inspire

USE A DIE!
We are sponsored by Bugaboo...


A little bit dark if you like...

I decided to add to my fantasy fat book...
Remember I have shown you a couple of pages already



So starting with the same shaped chipboard I matted it with water colour paper that I had coloured with Distress Inks and misters...
I then started playing with Glitzcraft stencils and sparrkle medium...


I then added my Bugaboo images - Monster 5 - coloured with Promarkers and cut out.


Next a couple of embellishments - at this point my daughter said it's getting a bit busy!!



Finally my die...



Great fun! Happy Crafting!





New Challenge at little Claire


Today a new Digi Challenge starts at Little Claire



Challenge Number #4 has the theme "Flowers"

I used a lovely digi stamp called Floral Hedgehog

coloured with Promarkers, die cut into an oval and distressed around the edges with 'Scattered Straw'.



I then used this in a twisted easel card.

I started with a square white card blank with a diagonal scored across the front from top right to bottom left. This forms the easel to stick the upright section - a square of white card matted with yellow. I then just added the image and this lovely die-cut.



To form the stand I matted more yellow card on white in a triangular shape and attached it to the base with dimensionals. I added another of the dicuts upside down.

Finally I added another triangle of yellow and a die cut sentiment.


Do hope you will join us for this challenge!

Happy Crafting!

Sketch~N~Scrap New Card Sketch



A new card sketch has been posted at Sketch~N~Scrap today!
Why not have a go and link up your make?

This is the sketch:


Here's my take on it:


I started with a white card base and matted it with DP from my stash.
I cut the banners from my scraps in matching colours.
I printed Happy Easter on my computer.

The super image is Spring Bunnies and can be found here



Happy Easter!

Dragons Lair April Challenge


The Dragons Lair Challenge for April is to Add an Animal...

and I did another of my calendar pages


I started with the green case base as previous months and added the 'torn page' DP from






 To this I added my animal, Hoppy Frog, coloured with Promarkers.


But as April is my Birthday month I wanted my page to reflect that - I added
Amy's Birthday Cake, printed on green with a touch of Promarker.


I added the calendar dates on another piece of the torn paper, attached hairy ribbon and various embellishments from my stash.

Happy Birthday to me!!

Hope to see you at the Dragons Lair Challenge and in the Facebook Group where a new Group Challenge has just begun too...
