LAYER IT UP AT THE CRAFTER'S CAFE

Hi everyone.
It's time for a new challenge over at The Crafter's Cafe and the theme for this week is "Lots of layers".
We have two sponsors for this challenge:

For my card, I have used "Hedgehog Surprise" from Di's Digis. I've coloured it on with Copics, and made a "lotsa layers" background using papers from my stash. I've edged all the layeres with faux stitching (ie) black fine liner pen!
Now it's over to you...layer it up!

CLOWDIE LOVE

Hi everyone.
This is a little project I've made for the special "One Year Anniversary" challenge in the Kit and Clowder Facebook group. Here is the picture we had to use as inspiration:

I wanted to make something that incorporated what Kit and Clowder means to me. I also wanted to use this "Aurora Wings" image that I coloured a while back (with Promarkers) and still think it's the best I've ever done. I had made a card with it but decided to recycle it for this project.
I used word art to create the heart of words, and also the "LOVE" letters, which are printed with the letters that spell out "Clowdie Love". I cut a heart shape from hessian to border the word art, and assembled all my bits onto a piece of backing paper which is a kind of "world print" with a grungy look. I finished it all off with a few Kraft flowers.
I'm so proud of this. It looks fab hanging on the wall in my little craft room. Hope you like it too.

DIE CUTS AND PUNCHES AT CRAFTING FOR ALL SEASONS


Good morning!
I'm in the middle of a week long holiday with my two kiddies so hoping to get lots of crafting done. Luckily for me, my little girl is a big crafter too so we can do loads together! My son is now 17 so he pretty much takes care of himself!
This is my DT card for Crafting For All Seasons where the theme for the next fortnight is "Use dies and / or punches". Our sponsor for this challenge is Tiffany Doodles

 and I have used their image called "Wonderful Time of the Year".
No colouring on this one, but I got playing with my dies! I've used the Christmas Tree scene die from Tim Holtz, some Go Create dies to cut out the sentiment and the background, and then added some holly die cuts with some red flat-backed pearls. Ooh, adn I've added some Stickles for a bit of Christmas sparkle!
Now it's over to you....use dies and or punches, and show us what you got!

OH CHRISTMAS TREE

Hi everyone.
It's time for the mid-month reminder for the challenge over at Crafty HazelNuts!
I have used "Wryn Caroling" from Tiddly Inks, which I coloured with Promarkers. I'm quite liking CAS cards at the moment. I'm trying really hard in my Kit and Clowder classes and I guess the inner me is thinking, if I'm putting so much time and effort into colouring, I should let it shine! Therefore less is more! The backing paper is from NitWits "Winter Wishes" collection, and I've used some "snow-bobble" trim, and blue twine, together with a Christmas tree charm, to finish the card off. Hope you like it.

GIVE A LITTLE LOVE AT THE CRAFTER'S CAFE

Good morning blogland.
I'm here today with my DT card for The Crafter's Cafe where the theme this week is "Hearts"...easy huh?!
We have three sponsors this week:



For my card, I have used "Cuddly Critters Elephant" from Dr Digi. I have coloured the image in with Copics and then I went a bit bonkers with white embossing powders. I stamped the sentiment and the hearts and dots with Versamark ink and sprinkled on the powder before heat embossing. But I thought it needed a bit more so I edged the card with more Versamark, just using my finger and added more powder....a bit of a play but I quite like how it turned out!
Now it's over to you....show us some love!

HAVE A HEART AT CRAFTING FOR ALL SEASONS

Good morning!
It's "Hands Up" time for me....I clean forgot to post this card yesterday....BIG SORRY!
This is my DT card for Crafting For All Seasons where the theme for the next fortnight is "Have a heart". Our sponsor for this challenge is Bugaboo Stamps and I have used their image called "Love-Blocks--Two-Hearts".
No colouring on this one as I decided to go with a black and white theme with a splash of red, so a very simple layered card with a piece of ribbon and a few heart gems to set it off.
Now it's over to you....let your love flow!
