OUR CRAFTY CORNER #6

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at OUR CRAFTY CORNER.

And our lovely sponsor is...

MY STITCH BACK IN TWINE

Here is my inspiration card

I used the image NURSE DARCEE

which can be purchased from My Stitch Back In Twine.

So I made this using an A4 sheet of card which I cut in half long ways making a C6 top opening card.

I cut a piece of patterned paper same size as front of card and used DS sticky tape to place it.

I cut another piece, slightly smaller in a nice stripey nurse type paper.

I coloured the image using Copics and Spectrum Noir markers.

(One day I will remember to make note of colours)

I cut out a square around her and just left the background as is.

I used DS foam pads to place the image in the centre front.

In the bottom left corner I placed a small 'Get Well' sentiment.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.

Thank you for stopping by today and we look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.

CHALLENGE #3

Theme for this challenge is

ANYTHING GOES - SOMETHING WITH WINGS

Our sponsors are

A DAY FOR DAISIES

and

MORGANS ARTWORLD

Thank you very much to our sponsors once again.

And here is my half-way inspiration post.

This is what I created using

SMALL FRIEND from  A DAY FOR DAISIES.

I coloured the image using

COPIC SKETCH MARKERS & SPECTRUM NOIR MARKERS.

I started of with a silver pearlescent base card.

I matted and layered with 2 shades of a blue/grey card from my 'bit box'.

I glued the two mats together then wrapped some silver grey ribbon around the two mats and stuck it down on the underside.

I added a small bow to the left side of the ribbon.

I used a strip of pretty flowered paper also from my 'bit box' to put a strip down the right side and placed the image in the middle of the card, stuck on using 3D foam pads.

In the top left corner I placed one blue flower with two green leaves and in the bottom right corner I placed a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from stash.

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

There iss till plenty of time to join our challenge so come along and join in the fun.

We loook forward to seeing all your creations!

Please take a moment to stop by our other DT members blogs to see their creations too.

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES #11

CHALLENGE #11

ADD A TAG TO YOUR CARD/PROJECT

Our sponsor for this challenge is

THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE
And the prize is...
3 SINGLE DIGI IMAGES

I chose to use the image DOLL WITH HEART 

This is what I came up with....

I use a red base card approx 5x7" and mat and layered it with 2 pices of card, one in red paper the other with a flourish frame print. Both from the PION DESIGN new paper FOR MY VALENTINE.

I took a verse and a tag from the same pad and placed one in the top left corner, the other in the top right corner. At the top of the tag I placed some red flowers from PETAL LU and made a bow from some red jute twine. I then made a triple bow from some really pretty red ribbon and placed it between the verse card and the coloured image in the bottom right corner which I put at a slight angle.

The image was coloured using SPECTRUM NOIR markers.

Hope you like my little card and will gain some inspiration from it.

Please do visit our other DT members blogs for more inspiration.

Thank you for visiting today.

Have a lovely day and happy crafting!

CREATIVE CRAFT COTTAGE #56

CHALLENGE #56

Sadly this is my last DT project for CREATIVE CRAFT COTTAGE.

I have decided to step down from the DT so I have more time to work on my colouring.

I would like to thank Lisa and Eileen for allowing me to be a part of their team for this short time and wish them the very best of luck with the challenges. Also to the other DT members I say a fond farewell but I am sure we will 'bump into one another' around the blogs.

The theme for ths challenge is ANYTHING GOES

And our wonderful sponsors are....

PPINKYDOLLS

ARTIDOODLES

For this challenge I chose to use the ROSALEE image.

And this is my project.....

So I started off with a 6x8" base card and covered the front in a lovely red paper from the new Pion Design 'TO MY VALENTINE' papers. These really are very pretty papers but I love Pion Design so maybe Im biased lol.

It kind of fitted perfectly with the red roses in the image.

I coloured the image with SPECTRUM NOIR and my new COPICS which just arrived a few days ago. I love them! Eventually I am hoping to have all the COPIC markers.

I made a double bow in a deep red ribbon, cut a piece of a border and a ticket sentiment from the same Pion Design papers. I added the image at a slight angle in the top right corner...and dotted a few spots of red glitter glue to make some 'sparkly gems'.

I hope you like what I did and will gain some inspiration from it and join us for this challenge.

We look forward to seeing your creations.

I hope you will take a peek at our other DT's blogs for more inspiration.

Thank you for stopping by today and please do leave me a comment so I know you have visited and I can return the visit :)

Have a lovely day and happy crafting!

CHALLENGE #120

The theme for this challenge is

RIBBON & PEARLS

Our sponsors for this challenge are....

STITCHY BEAR STAMPS

 

PPINKYDOLLS

For this challenge I used an image from STITCHYBEAR

BABYBUG

This is what I did with the image for my DT inspiration

I coloured her using SPECTRUM NOIR markers and used pretty shades of pink.

I made a 5.5"x 5.5" white base card.

I cut a piece to cover the front from a pretty pad I just purchased

FLORAL PAVILION from FRIST EDITION PAPERS.

I cut a piece of deep pink ribbon and placed it across the front of the patterned paper before sticking it to the front of the base card.

Then I added a double bow in the same pink ribbon.

I added a white branch with some small pink flowers with a pearl in the centre then 3 deep pink pearls in the top right corner. I also put 2 of these pearls on the front of the Babybugs dress top.

Lastly I added a 'HAPPY BIRTHDAY' sentiment in the top left corner.

Hope you like what I did and gain some inspiration from it.

Please do visit our other DT members and see what they created.

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES #10

 CHALLENGE #10

Theme for this challenge is

ALL THINGS BRIGHT AND BEAUTIFUL

Our sponsors are

ROBYN'S FETISH

with a prize of

3 SINGLE DIGI IMAGES

and

THAT CRAFT PLACE

with a prize of

3 SINGLE DIGI IMAGES

So you may be thinking about the blog name...

JADES SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES

was

2 CRAFTY GIRLS

The blog owner JADE MORRISON decided to change the name to something more appropriate for us and this is what Jade and the DT came up with. More than appropriate I would say!

So on to my project for this challenge.

The image I chose to use was CHRISTMAS ANGEL from ROBYN'S FETISH.

This is what I made with it.

I used some lovely papers from PION DESIGN.

Lovely papers!

I layered a white base card with a beige mix mat and on top of that I put a grey mat.

It gave a lovely contrast I thought.

Around the mats I placed a piece of silver glittery netting then tied a bow in the same netting and  placed it to the left side.

I added some white Poinsettia flowers and Holly leaves in the top left corner and on the right side I placed the coloured image which I coloured with Spectrum Noir markers.

I placed a sentiment between the flowers and netting bow.

Not very Christmas style but enough 'brightness (in the netting) and beauty (the angel and flowers)' to cover our theme.

So I hope this will give you some different inspiration.

Please do visit our other DT members and see their inspiration too.

They have all done some beautiful work as always.

So I hope you will join us in this challenge and we look forward to seeing what you create.

Thank you for stopping by today!

Happy crafting!
