12 Months of Christmas February 2022 Challenge #85. Hearts

 


    

This is my DT make for the October Challenge

This month the theme is "Hearts"

Our sponsor is


Décosse's Dynamite Doodles

Here is my card:


I have used a paper from Decosse's Dynamite Doodles.


I have used a double corner fold. The card base is a 6 by 6 inch square blank in blue. The top two corners are folded inside. I added a layer of pink and a layer of the DDD paper cut into a jumper. I then added a punched heart from the pink and a deer sticker.


On opening this is how it looks, decorated with the same papers, and adding a white die cut for the message. The corners were decorated similarly with hearts and deer stamps.



Happy Crafting!

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - Post #1

I am so excited to be part of the new Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 2022 - Term 1

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

I have so many ideas in my head but this is the first design I have put together...


I am using an image from Muse by Tammy Klingner


Using my grey paged journal I added layers of book paper stamped with a Carabelle stamp - Punchanella.
I added black soot Distress Ink around the edges.


I printed the image on a Gelli plate pull that I had made using Gelatos. I coloured this with shimmery watercolours. I cut and tore this to add it to the background. I added black soot Distress Ink around this.


I don't know if you can see the shimmer in the photographs.


Round the image I stamped a Finnabair Messy stamp and added white Gesso through a stencil (of squares).
Finally I added penwork in black and white and a sentiment.


Happy Crafting!

Butterfly Challenge #165 T for Triple Point Card


The current theme for Mrs A's Butterfly Challenge #165 is T for Triple Point Card

 and she gives instructions on how to make one here

This is the wheel - I have used all the colours starting with a tan base adding the three other colours in Stampin' Up papers.


I used a die that I once won from Mrs A for the butterfly.
The thank you die is an Avery Elle die.



I will link this to Challenge #165
