MAKING MEMORIES CRAFTING CHALLENGE #10 - OCTOBER 2017

*UPDATE*
So very sorry to have to write this..but it seems MAKING MEMORIES CRAFTING challenge blog is no more!
It has just vanished from the net!
The Design Team are as confused as anyone else about this!
We have no idea what happened or why.
We apologise most sincerely to anyone who has already entered the latest challenge, which went live just two days ago on 6th October.

THE MERRY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE #37 - ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS

THE MERRY CHRISTMAS CHALLENGE #37

I love making Xmas cards.
We now have two Design Teams with inspiration for you!
Holly & Ivy Team and Tinsel Team...I am part of Tinsel team!
We will post our projects on alternate weeks
Here is my DT project for this week.

Our theme will always be....
ANYTHING GOES CHRISTMAS

This is my inspiration for you this time...

I decided on a 3D decoupaged gift tag for this project.

I started by cutting a gift tag shape from kraft card.

I covered the front and back with a 'snowy' patterned paper.

 Then I put a Santa decoupage set I had in my stash on the front of the tag using 3D glue gel.

I used some red and white twine from my stash to make the string for the gift tag.

I hope you like what I did.

Thanks for stopping by today and see you next week!!

Hugs,

This challenge - #6

ANYTHING GOES with optional twist WATERCOLOURING

This is my inspiration project for you.

Hope this will give you lots of inspiration.

I started off with a 5.75x5.75 base card.
I cut a piece of Watercolour card and painted the background using SPECTRUM AQUA MARKERS using a combination of blues and oranges to make my background.
I stamped the image of a country cottage and a sentiment onto the background and coloured the cottage using the Aqua's. I think I got quite a nice effect.
Hope you like what I did and it will inspire you to join in with our challenge.

Remember its an 'Anything Goes' challenge and the 'twist' is always optional but please do try the option in your project.
Thank you for stopping by today!
I sure appreciate all your visits.

Happy crafting!
