Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog - February Challenge - Anything Goes

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you have had a good week and are ready for the weekend ahead. Today I am helping at a Felting Workshop we will be making pots. I just love making 3d objects with felt. On Sunday we might be able to meet our great niece for the first time. I do hope it works out, it would be lovely to see her while she is still a baby, they grow up so fast.

This the first of two posts from me today. I am only on four design teams and for the next two months two of them go live on the same day.

The new challenge starts today at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes and this time the sponsor is the fabulous Morgan's Artworld. The Design Team had some fabulous images to use this time.


So this started life as a tatty pine frame from a charity shop. I started off with a couple of coats of Gesso and then I mixed some acrylic paint to cover the Gesso. 


There are many wonderful images in the shop which is run through a Facebook page. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 


The prize is the three fabulous images the Design Team used as showcased here. 


I used Cameo 14 she is available HERE.   She was printed onto Neenah Card Stock and coloured with Promarkers. I cut the image out by hand. The background came from the back of my Crafter's Companion Advent Calendar. She is behind glass in the frame. 


I used the Ivy Spray and the Small Butterflies dies sets from John Next Door to decorate the frame once the paint was dry. 


This is the frame hanging on the wall in our lounge. It does look very good on the wall. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Have a great weekend

Happy Crafting

Hugs Jackie
