New Challenge at Create and Inspire

Today another challenge starts at Create and Inspire

Our challenge is always "anything goes"

This fortnight's fabulous sponsor is

Ike's Art

I have two makes to show you...

A quick card using Geranium Pot Coloured...

I used circular dies to cut out the image and a circle to go behind it. The white card base was matted with brown card. I used gold and brown banners to embellish - these are from a Kanban kit.

My second make is an ATC using Thoughts, coloured with Promarkers.
I used snippets from my scraps for the background and framed the image with a green frame covered with gem flowers.

Do go over to Create and Inspire 

and see the winners from last time and the other fabulous DT makes.
I look forward to seeing your creations in the Challenge!

Happy Crafting!

Ike's World Challenges #59

Today I would like to show you my make for Ike's World Challenges!

The current Challenge (#59) is "Easter Bonnets/Hats"...and this is my midway post...

The images I have used are actually from the prize you can win in this Challenge:

I have made a set of 4 ATCs. The images were coloured with Spectrum Noirs and fineliners. I used snippets of card and DP from my stash and lots of embellishments from my stash.
I added the rabbit brads as an Easter touch...

I hope you will join in the Challenge over at Ike's World

 - look for the freebie image on the blog!!

Happy Crafting!

New Challenge #18 at SLSLines

Today, March 20th, Challenge #18 starts at SLSLines...
"Spring Time"
rather appropriate as today is the first day of Spring!
And Spring makes me think of flowers!

I decided to use some images from Whimsical Flowers, coloured with Spectrum Noir pens and then cut out.

I have made a set of three ATCs - each with a beige card base matted with a snippet of floral DP from my scraps

After adding each image I added a bit of bling...

Hope to see your makes over at SLSLines!

Actually today has been a 'snippet' sort of day - I still had some parrots lying on my worktable - I decided to include them in ATCs with floral backgrounds.

The parrots are from Fabrika Fantasy: Pirate Parrot 1 and Pirate parrot 3 - precoloured.

I made similar backgrounds to the flowers above - dark brown bases plus floral snippets, added the images and lots of flowers - fabric ones, brads and a coloured die-cut.

I will add these to the Fabrika Fantasy March Challenge on facebook.

My final ATC uses snippets from a brown and gold Kanban kit and a Dragons Lair image coloured with markers. I added a yellow ribbon on one corner. The photo seems to show the chocolate more yellow than brown I'm afraid:

I will submit this to the Dragons Lair Fan Group on Facebook March Challenge.

I will link my ATCs to
Pixie's Snippets Playground #221

Happy Crafting!!

From the Heart Sketch Challenge #143

I have another make using a From the Heart Digi.

As there are lots of Snowmen images it's a great way to add to my Christmas card collection! 
I am using In the Meadow Snowmen coloured with Promarkers.

This is based on the From the Heart Sketch #143 turned through 90 degrees.

 I have used snippets of paper from my scraps, the yellow trim is from my stash and I have a whole heap of these brad embellishments in my craft room - so I think I am using both sketch and twist!

I will enter this in FTH Challenge #143

Happy Crafting!

LOC Challenge #122

Today a new Challenge #122 starts at Left of Center

 'Cute Dark LOC'.

Our sponsor is Nikki Burnette

I am using two images

Witch Stamp
and
Baroque Clara

Today I have journalling pages to share with you...

This is how it started - moppings from stencils that I had misted for another project!

I added some opaque embossing in the corners using a leafy background stamp. I added distress ink to this then more distress inks through stencils and round the edges.

Next came the two images coloured with Promamrkers and two sentiments from Graphic 45 - An Eerie Tale.

 Looking forward to seeing your LOC /Cute Dark!

Happy Crafting!
