Crafty Catz Challenge blog - Anything Goes with the optional twist of using Purples and Mauves

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

The weekend is nearly here. I hope you have something nice planned. This is the first post from me today. There will be another one in about half an hour. I am helping at a Felting workshop today the other lady who helps can't make it today so I am stepping up to the plate.

Being Friday the new challenge starts on the Crafty Catz Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes and this time the optional twist is Use Mauves and Purples. I am hosting this challenge so it was me who got to choose the images from our fabulous sponsor Rick St Dennis.

I won the Sophia die from one of the launches on Sue Wilson's blog. I used it in the background of the bunny. All the papers were in my stash. 

There are many wonderful images in the store some a little unusual if you click on the logo you will be taken there. 

This image is called Running Bunny and is available HERE. He was printed onto Neenah card and coloured with Promarkers. Then I cute him out with my ScanNcut. He is very cute. 

I sent this card to my sister for Easter she loves bunnies.

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog - October Challenge

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

Happy Sunday and welcome to October. It is proper Autumn now. The bunnies went home yesterday.  Now I just have the room to clear.

The new challenge starts on the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog and the theme is Anything Goes and this time the sponsor is Rick St Dennis. I was able to choose an image from the fabulous store to use for my card. The prize it two images from the store for the winner.

I found the dark snowflake paper in my stash. I used rich gold and reds for the mats and layers. 

There are many wonderful images in the store to suit all tastes. If you click on the image you should be taken to the store. 

This image is called Angel Wreath and it is on sale here.  I printed it onto to card and I coloured it with my Promarkers. I cut is out with my ScanNcut as like how you can leave a border round the image. If I did this by hand it would not be even. 

Now I had coloured the image and I thought it needed a message in the centre. I would not have attempted this without my Tim Holtz's Stamping platform because I could put the stamp exactly where I wanted it and if I missed a bit it was easy to restamp. I am finding the platform such a useful tool. Finally I sprayed the whole image with Spray and Sparkle. 

Now I did start with a smaller image but I decided to go larger for my main card. Well you know I don't like anything to go to waste I made a smaller card with the off cuts from the bigger cards. I had to use a different stamp for the sentiment the other one didn't fit. 

Here they are together. They will both sent out this Christmas. My husband even remarked that he liked the bigger card and usually he doesn't say anything unless asked directly. 

Enjoy the rest of the day

I would like to enter the Anything Goes Christmas at the Winter Wonderland Challenge blog , challenge 44 at the Snowflakes Promise Challenge blog and challenge 343 at the I Love Promarkers Challenge blog. 

Happy Crafting

Crafty Catz Challenge - Anything Goes with the optional theme Ladies Day

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends

This is my final post of the day - phew. For this month I am the Guest Designer on the Crafty Catz Challenge blog. The theme is Anything Goes with the optional theme of Ladies Day. We had some wonderful images to work with from the sponsor Rick St Dennis.

I cut the image and the mats and layers for it with my Double Pierced Rectangle dies from Creative Expressions. The corners were decorated with the Cottage Garden die that came from Papercraft Essentials magazine. 

Rick has lots of wonderful images in his store if you click on the image you should be taken there to have a little look.

Isn't this a fabulous image by Rick St Dennis she is called Morning Goddess Bon Bons. She was coloured with Promarkers. I hadn't used them for a while and it was good to brush up on my skills. 

I wanted a quirky message and I found this one amongst my Visible Image stamps. 

I die enjoy making this card the image is amazing. 

That is all from me for a while. 

I would like to enter the September Challenge at the Crafting By Designs Challenge blog. 

Enjoy the weekend. 

Happy Crafting
