CYDA Challenge #14 - A Sketch

The new fortnightly challenge on Craft Your Days Away is a sketch by Joanne, and the prize is donated by Crafty Emma's Store - details on the blog.

For my DT work I made a Christmas card using one of my favourite stamps stamped onto mats cut with Nesties and edged with Copic pen.  I think the bp is Papermania, not sure! I put white peel off snowflakes onto the blue mat and punched snowflakes with a Martha Stewart punch.  The smudge on the left of the card I have just noticed is dust and isn't on the actual card now! 

P for Paper Piecing

 

The new challenge on the Alphabet Challenge Blog this week is Paper Piecing.  For my DT work I used a Cuddly Buddly image and some Daisy and Dandelion papers.  The colouring is done with Copics and the flowers are punched with a Martha Stewart punch.  The sentiment is also by Daisy and Dandelion.

Going Round in Circles

The new theme on My Time To Craft is Going Round in Circles, and for my DT card I used some bps from my stash, cut some circle mats with Nesties and used a Penny Black Stickeroo.  I added a Daisy and Dandelion sentiment and added ribbon, punched flowers and Liquid Pearls to finish.

O for Orange

We are up to O already in the Alphabet Challenge, and this week the theme is Orange.  For my DT card I used a Penny Black Stickeroo and some DCWV bp to make this cheery card!  Flowers and butterfly are punched with Martha Stewart punches, and gems added to finish.  The sentiment is a Daisy and Dandelion stamp.

Hearts and Flowers

The new challenge on My Time To Craft this week is Hearts and Flowers.  For my DT work I made an atc, using a Crafty Individuals image and heart stamp, Distress Inks and Promarker to edge it all.
I am also entering this in this week's Papertake Weekly challenge Have a Heart.

CYDA Challenge #13 - Photo Inspiration

For challenge #13 on Craft Your Days Away this fortnight we have a lovely photo to take inspiration from.  I decided to make a CAS ATC for my DT work, simply stamping various stamps using a bright red Promarker as the ink onto a plain background, and using ribbon at the side.

 The challenge this month is sponsored by Simon Says Stamp and you can win a $10 spend in their online store, so pop over to the challenge blog and take part!

N for Numbers

We are up to N on the Alphabet Challenge Blog, and this week the theme is N for Numbers.  For my DT work I have made a birthday card using a Penny Black stamp coloured in with Copics and Promarkers and sparkly gel pens.  Not sure what the bp is, maybe DCWV?

Sparkles Christmas Challenge #1

 

Today is the launch of a brand new monthly Christmas challenge blog - Sparkles Forum Christmas Challenges.  Every month a new theme will be set and it is a great way to get started on those Christmas cards, although it is a multi craft challenge so anything goes!

Flourishes

The new challenge on My Time To Craft is Flourishes.  For my DT work I made an atc using stamps by 7 Gypsies, stamped and embossed onto K & Co paper, butterflies coloured with a Copic and the atc edged with gold Krylon.
