Flowers and Die Cuts Challenge at Crafting By Designs

Time for a new challenge at Crafting by Designs and the theme this week is 'Flowers and Die Cuts'. I might have picked a difficult image for such a challenge, but that's the name of the game - challenge! I have used the Lacy Sunshine image 'Lucy Loseit' and coloured her with Promarkers and pencil.

My card base was cut using a Silhouette store file on my Cameo - as was the chevron frame and the flowers. I have used black card and paper from Do Crafts 'Gorjuss' range for matting. The sentiment is from Create with TLC and I've finished with some Card Candi.

A second post from me today folks. It's time for another challenge at one of your favourite Dark Themed challenges! Anything Goes #11 is starting today at A Step in the Dark and our Sponsor this time is Lacy Sunshine.

I've used the awesome 'Sadie' image from the store and coloured her in Promarkers and used a black pencil for added depth. The papers are from the Graphic 45 An Eerie Tale paper pack. The sentiment is from Create with TLC. The viewfinder and 31 are Tim Holtz dies and the web border was cut using my cameo.

Polka Dots Galore at Crafting by Designs

It's time for a dotty challenge at Crafting by Designs this week! I have had the pleasure of using an image from one of our sponsors - Lacy Sunshine - and have had a ball with the 'Polka Dot' theme! I have used the Cematerie and Bunny image and coloured it with Promarkers. I have used papers from two different Halloween paper pads- the green papers is BoBunny and the Polka Dot is Pebbles inc. I've added Dusty Concord DI to the edges of the polkadot paper to match the polka dots on her dress - I added a few extra on there when I was colouring her! The ribbon is from my stash, the web corners are Cheery Lynn and the picture wheel is Tim Holtz.

Colours of the Sea Recipe Challenge at Crafting by Designs

I was sure this would be a tricky one this week! It's a themed recipe challenge over at Crafting by Designs and we are being sponsored by Lacy Sunshine. The theme is 'Colours of the Sea' and you have to follow the recipe.

Pick at least 3 elements from the list of 10 elements when following the theme:

1 - Mermaids

2 - Sand

3 - Coral

4 - Aqua/Water

5 - Orchid

6 - Foam/Lace

7 - Bubbles

8 - Scales/Sequins

9 - Sea Creatures

10 -Wild Card:  show your photo inspiration (Google or Pinterest)

Indicate which elements you used; interpretation is up to you!

So I used the Ebony Seakissed Mermaid and went a bit arty with my card! I have used Distress Inks in Tumbled Glass, Broken China and Salty Ocean to create and ombre background and edged it in Peacock Feathers and Black Soot. I used a blending tool to apply Peacock Feathers through a circle stencil. The reeds are the Visible Image Tall Grass stamp. The seahorses and starfish are from Chocolate Baroque, stamped in Black Archival ink from Ranger and embossed with Stampendous Transparent detail embossing powder.

 

I then used a few small bottle tops in the black ink to add bubbles and used my white Uniball Signo pen to add highlights to them. The image is coloured using Promarkers and mounted on black pearlescent paper so it stands out from the background.

I had a lot of fun making the background for this card! Hoping to do more like this!

thanks for looking and I hope you will join our recipe challenge!

Orange and Purple colour challenge at Crafting by Designs

That's us getting into the last week of October and the end of the Halloween projects, how sad! And today we have a fabulous colour challenge at Crafting by Designs - Orange and Purple. We also have a fabulous sponsor in the shape of Lacy Sunshine and I have been working with the gorgeous Myra Mains image.

She is a half dead girl with roses and I have coloured her with promarkers to show this - human skin colours on the right and very grey, undead looking on the left! The roses echo this comparison too. I have used Bo Bunny Fright Delight papers for the card. Also, orange and purple pearlescent papers for layering.

To finish I coloured a sentiment from Craftwork Cards to match the colour scheme and added pins, flowers and a bow... with a touch of stickles dotted about too!

Thanks for looking, I hope you will join us for this challenge!
