CHALLENGE #55

Theme for this challenge is

And our lovely sponsors are

KARLEIGH SUE

and

  SASSY STUDIO DESIGNS

   The prize is 4 DIGI IMAGES

My DT project for this challenge is...

NEW YEAR BABY

from KARLEIGH SUE

I used a cutting file from the Silhouette Design shop for this project.

A bottle tag.

I used a lovely paper pad I recently purchased from SCRAP AND CRAFT called HIDDEN DESIRES. I used one 12 x 12 sheet and used both sides to get the contrast. I thought it worked quite well.

The image NEW YEAR BABY I coloured with Spectrum Noir markers.

I added some glitter, which sadly does not show up very well on the picture and added a few silver stars for a bit more 'sparkle'.

I placed the coloured image on the main tag piece at a slight angle.

I added a circle embellishment and the word 'Cheers' to the circle. Put on a few dabs of glitter glue and added a few silver stars.

And that was all it needed really.

Hope my little project will give you some ideas for your entry.

Please do visit our other DT members. They also have some fabulous inspiration for you too.

Thank you for stopping by today and I hope you will join us for this challenge.

Happy crafting!

CRAFTING FOR ALL SEASONS #119

CHALLENGE #119

The theme for this challenge is

MONOCHROME

And our lovely sponsor is

BUGABOO

with a fabulous prize of

7 DIGI IMAGES!

As the theme is MONOCHROME for this challenge I had some pretty pink papers to use.

And as I had coloured the image in pinks it wasnt a hard choice.

So here is my DT inspiration for this challenge....

I chose the cute image

KID POCKET TOPPER - GIRL WITH BOW

I coloured her with SPECTRUM NOIR MARKERS

I started with a fuschia pink 8 x 8in. base card.

I cut out a stand for the back of the card, so it is a single sided card.

I cut a mat 6.25in. square in pale pink cardstock  and stuck it to the front of the base card.

Next I cut a 5.5in. suare mat in a pink and white checked cardstock and added it on top of the pale pink mat at a slight angle.

In the top left corner I added a layered butterfly. I cut out the bottom layer in the fuschia pink card and the top lacey layer in the pale pink card. I stuck them together and folded the wings of the top layer upwards slightly then placed two self-adhesive pink pearls on the body.

In the top right corner I added a bow made from netting in a pale pink. It has a sheen to it so looked quite pretty. Then right in the top corner I placed a few self-adhesive pink pearls.

In the bottom right corner I placed the coloured image at a slight angle. Then in the bottom left corner I placed some paper flowers cut from the pink and white checked paper I used for the top mat layer.

I placed a small pink pearl in the centre and added two or three pearl strands around the flowers.

In the centre I placed a small card sentiment.

And thats my DT card for this challenge.

I hope you like it and will get some inspiration from it.

LETS CREATE & CRAFT #109

CHALLENGE #109

The theme for this challenge is

LAYER IT UP

Here is my DT inspiration for you....hope it will help with some ideas.

I cut a white base card measuring 5.5 x 6ins.

I chose some patterned papers from STUDIO75 for the mats.

I cut two contrasting pieces of card for the mats.

One piece slightly smaller than the base card and the other slightly smaller than the first.

Then I cut a FLOURISH HEART using a die from APPLE BLOSSOM. 

It is quite an intricate die but it cut beautifully! I cut this in a very pale lemon cardstock just to give a hint of a contrast colour. I placed this on the card front in the centre.

In the bottom right corner I placed some small white paper flowers and branches.

In the bottom left corner I placed a bow made from some wide silk ribbon in a beige colour.

It has a lovely sheen to it!

Finally in the top left corner I placed a die cut sentiment. I placed this with sticky pads to give it depth.

Plain and simple but very pretty.

I hope you like what I did and will gain some inspiration from it and enter our challenge.

Please do visit our other DT members blog to see what inspiration they came up with.

So we look forward to seeing all your entries!

Thanks for stopping by. Have a super day!

And happy crafting!!
