Double Trouble and TSOT

Double Trouble Paper Crafting Challenges 

  is celebrating their 6th Anniversary with Challenge #167.

As usual there are several parts to the challenge but this time Thing 3 involves using a paper bag or craft. Thing 2 means link to one of the previous partners. Because of the latter I have used the sketch from Try a Sketch on Tuesday

I started with a kraft card blank matted with a piece of paper bag.

I then added four strips of music paper and a horizontal piece of Designer Paper.

I then added the guitar (Kokorosa die) and the sentiment (from my stash).

I will add this masculine card to the Double Trouble blue raffle ticket

and theTSOT Challenge.

Happy Crafting!

 

Creative Warriors Inspiration Team - New Term #2

 

       This is my next inspiration for the Creative Warriors Inspiration Team 

with Michelle Grant Designs

You will see our inspirational creations on the Facebook Group

Today I have used a variety of designs from Michelle Grant Designs.

I will add the links as I work through the process.

I started with a journal page covered in collage - just scraps from my desk.

I then journalled across this with InkTense crayons. I am not sharing these words but you can see how it started.

I then created a pale background by setting the colours from these crayons with white gesso.

I then added Annette's image from Colour Me Crazy having painted it with Indigo Blu translucent acrylics and fussy cutting it. 

Next I added flowers. I printed Annette's flowers from Bloom on a paper from Michelle's Warrior Wallpapers. I cut these out and placed them on the page.

I then cut out flowers from Michelle's Enough

Finally I added Stabilo All, black Posca, grey marker, white Posca to emphasize the images and add the sentiment.

Happy Crafting!

Color Dare Challenge #602

 

This picture shows my make for the

Color My Heart Color Dare Challenge DT

Do pop over to the Color Dare Challenge and take a look at my teamies' makes.

This picture shows the challenge - 

As you can see this challenge celebrates the 12th Anniversary of this Challenge.

I have made a card featuring papers in the appropriate colours from my stash , ribbon, banner die cut with stamp, a punched circle and the sweet pea die cuts. Finally a couple of embellishments - hopefully a worthy anniversary card!

Hope you will join the Color Dare Challenge...

I used to enter the Double Trouble Paper Crafting Challenges regularly - somehow they have gone off my radar. However their challenge #167 is celebrating their 6th Anniversary.

As this card is an Anniversary one I will link it to the yellow raffle ticket...

Happy Crafting!

 

WOYWW #781

       

It is Wednesday so I am linking to the Stamping Ground but not at the usual site. After 15 years Julia has decided to bow out - thanks so much to you for all you have done! The end of an era!

We are so fortunate that Sarah has taken up the baton...

Follow the link to find out more about What's on Your Work Desk Wednesday and maybe join in... This is my post for WOYWW #781 and the first headed by Sarah...

To celebrate the past 15 years l made a handful of ATCs and some of you will receive these eventually! I will share a picture when they start to arrive!

So here's my desk:

I am at my son's looking after the granddaughters so I am just at the dining table!

Not sure what you can see - but in the middle is a pile of cards that my daughter picked up at NASA. They are ATC size so I am going to use them as bases!

Apart from that there are various packets of ephemera. I am making some junk journal pieces for swaps. I will give you some sneaky peeks of these but cannot give you too much until they arrive...

 That's all for today - hope to call on you all soon... 

Happy  WOYWW!
