Creative Moments Challenge - Mr. Barn Owl


Hello there, sorry I haven't been around for a couple of weeks, been very busy with work and crafting, making items for a local Craft Fair.  So I should have posted this last week on here as it was our Creative Moment's challenge.  This is a wonderful image from Delicious Doodles which I have coloured with Graph'it markers and then used pan pastels around the edge. Mounted him on a Spellbinder's die, added authentic leaves and then matted him onto an embossed bark effect cardstock and then used a darker pan pastel to bring out the grain of the wood. Matted that onto dark brown cardstock and then onto a Kraft card. I didn't add a sentiment as I didn't think it needed it.

More Crafty Makes


 
Here is two altered trays I picked up at a local store for a couple of euros. I used papers and embellishments and digi images from the Home for Christmas CD Rom. Love how they have turned out.


Crafty Makes




I am getting ready to do a Craft Fair in a couple of weeks and decided to decorate some plain white paper bags into some lovely Gift Bags.  I used a lot of my crafty stash that had been sitting around for a long time, so I put it to good use.  Hope you like them.

Halloween Bag


Hello folks from wet and windy Germany - Today I have made a Halloween Trick or Treat Goodie Bag with two digi images that I have had for a couple of years now. I coloured them both with Graph'it makers and Promarkers. Sat him on a fence from the Pretty Tuff CD Rom (Polkadoodles)
die cut a moon and some grass. Mounted it on a backing paper from one of the Halloween Collections from (Polkadoodles) matted it on black cardstock and then added a spiders web border around the image. Made a tag and added Halloween on the Moon. That is it. I will submit this into Graph'it markers challenge this week.

Flatfriends Challenge - Photo Inspiration



This month's challenge for Flatfriends is from a photo inspiration - colours Red and black stripes.
I chose one of Emma Canning's lovely images, I called her Santa Baby and coloured her with promarkers and Graph'it markers. Picked a black and white stripey paper matted it onto black, cut a red piece of cardstock and added a decorative edge. With the leftover stripey paper made a ribbon, added a bow and sentiment.  A really cool card I think.

More than One Fold Card - Polkdoodles Challenge




So this week Polkadoodles Design Team Challenge is : More than one fold card.  Ummm..... so I decided to do a gate fold card. I used backing papers, embellishments and digi images from the Home for Christmas CD Rom.  I coloured the little eskimo with Graph'it & Promarkers. I die cut an aperture in the middle of the card with a Spellbinder's Scalloped die and suspended her on a piece of red ribbon and adhered it to the back of the card. I added two of the little houses to the front along with a lovely dotty heart.  The Home for Christmas CD Rom is available from www.polkadoodles.co.uk
it is a must buy! I think it is my favourite out of the Polkadoodles Collection.

Pan Pastels Backgrounds


I am putting this Card up again on my blog as I am entering it into the Premium Craft Brand, Pan Pastel Uk Challenge. I used three colours for my background and made two 4 x 6" backgrounds.
One I matted on black cardstock and the other I stamped an image from Stampin Up cut it out using a die matted it on another die cut in black. Added a sentiment and butterfly. I really like this card, it is so soft and beautiful.
