Crafty Sentiments Challenge

 Its time for another Crafty Sentiments challenge, and the theme this week is Anything Goes.

I went for a Christmas card - really need to be getting some made!!  I love this image, Sammy and Me.  Having coloured it using my pens and contemporary colours, I matted it onto a selection of Bo Bunny papers.  I kept it all quite simple, just adding some ribbon and flat backed pearls.

Crafty Sentiments Challenge

 Its time for another Crafty Sentiments challenge, and the theme this week is Anything goes.

I used this adorable Christmas digi, Cold Christmas, and coloured her in one of my favourite colour combinations.  I added some stickles to her feet, before matting her onto some of my favourite CHristmas papers - I must get some more of these!!  I added a doily, and this gorgeous Bo Bunny spotty ribbon, before layering up a flower and adding pearl spray for a wintery look.

That Craft Place challenge

Its Sunday and that means it's time for a That Craft Place challenge and the theme this week is Indepence day or red, white and blue.  I went mad and made a couple of projects!!

Lisa sells the most amazing jumbo wooden pegs to alter.  I painte the peg with picket fence distress stain to add a whitewashed look, and then simply wrapped some spotty grosgrain ribbon round it.  I die cut large flowers out of navy blue paper and added my own crocheted flowers.   I tied a bow, added a wooden heart button and a flwer button with some embroidery thread tied through it.  Finally some more red button flowers.

Supplies: 

 wooden peg

Embellishments: crochet flowers, buttons, ribbon

Tools: Joy flower die, crochet hook

The Paper Shelter - lots of flowers

I used Beach Ball from Crafty Sentiments and coloured her in using my promarkers, before cutting her out and matting her onto a fancy oval. I love these papers from Fair Skies, very country in lots of ways.  I matted them onto navy cardstock, and added a doilly some lace and ribbon.  I crocheted some flowers and added buttins and a knot to them.  I die cut a banner and hanging heart and finally added som bling.

Totally Papercrafts Challenge

Its our last Totally papercrafts challenge for 2012 - we are having a wee break to enjoy Christmas, but will be back in the New Year with a bigger team and some fab challenges for you.
This week's theme is a sketch from Lisa ...

 Having coloured the image in using my pens, I used my viva decor pen to add the snow, and added a bit of vintage photo DI to the edge of the image.  I stamped the sentiment up - and that was that - I didn't feel the need for embellishments, as it is such a fab sketch on its own.

I did another card using the same sketch - not as happy with the shading on this one, but i have had a stinking cold and chest infection so colouring hurts!!  I used this gorgeous Crafty Sentiments image and coloured her using my pens, before using a viva decor pen to create bubbles. I made holes and faux stitched round the dp - I was going to use my sewing machine but it decided to break on me!! I die cut some flowers, added some pearls and some ribbon.  Finally a sentiment.
