Crafts Galore Encore - Anything Goes - September Challenge

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

I hope you are having a good weekend. How did it get to be September? Where did August go?

Being the first of the month the new challenge starts at the Crafts Galore Encore Challenge blog the theme is Anything Goes and this time the sponsor is the fabulous Fabrika Fantasy.


I made an Autumn coloured background with the mats and layers to suit the image I was able to use. The brown glitter card I have had in my stash since I went to the first Newbury Craft show and they gave out goody bags. It has been very useful and it has all gone now. 


There are many wonderful images and colouring pages in the store. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 


I was so lucky that I was able to use the beautiful Autumn Fairy image which is available HERE.  There is a fairy for each of the seasons in the store. Being a PNG image I was able to layer her over a background I had created on the computer. I printed onto Neenah card stock and she was coloured with my Promarkers. Then I fussy cut the image to place on the background I had created with patterned papers and die cut leaves. 


The stitched leaves dies came free with a magazine some time ago. I used scraps of coloured card to for the leaves. In the background you can just see the patterned papers that I used. 


I have decided not to put sentiments on my cards until I know what I am going to use them for. This will give me a degree of flexibility. 

I would like to enter the following challenges:

Why not join our challenge at the Crafts Galore Challenge blog.  The winners were announced yesterday you might just be one. 

Enjoy the rest of the weekend. 

Happy Crafting

Not Just Cards Challenge blog - September Challenge

Hello My Crafty Blog Friends and Visitors

How is your week going? I got a bit confused and I didn't expect to be back so soon. The new challenge starts today  on the Not Just Cards Challenge blog and the theme is as always Anything Goes.

A few people we know have moved house recently and the free gift that came with Simply Cards and Papercraft magazine a few months ago was has been very useful.


I used a stencil and Distress Oxides to create the background. 

Why not join our challenge? They are always Anything Goes. Click on the logo and you will be taken there. 



The aperture and frame were cut with the Double Pierced circle dies by Creative Expressions. I used Pebeo gilding wax to add some interest to the frame. The house was cut with the dies that came free with the magazine. The background in the circle is one I created with ink and surgical spirit on shiny card. 


I added gilding wax to the sentiment. 


This was the first new home card that was sent out. In fact I should really make another one soon. 

Enjoy the rest of the week.
