I have had fun with this card combining 3 challenges and putting as much on my card as I can in an attempt to try and use some of my huge stash mountain! I needed to make an Easter card for the Anything Goes Challenge on Craft Swap Forum. Arty Girlz' theme this week is Blue and Yellow, and the challenge on The Pink Elephant is to use Die Cuts and Ribbon. I used my Sugar Nellie Maggie stamp, DCWV papers, Nestabilities die cut and the swirl is done on my Slice, and ribbon at the bottom of the card.
The theme on Arty Girlz this week is Blue and Orange, so I have made a Christmas card with my cute little Penny Black snowman stamp and coloured his hat and scarf in orange, and used a blue card and orange and blue papers, finally punching some orange snowflakes and Stickling areas of the image!
The challenge on Arty Girlz this week is to use no patterned papers. So I inked up my card with Vintage Photo, Peeled Paint and Spiced Marmalade Distress Inks, splattered with some water and sprayed some Bronze Glimmer Mist on. Then I randomly stamped with some Graphicus Elusive Images stamps the background and also a main image, which I had also inked the background in the same way. I matted this onto my card and edge with a Gold Krylon pen.
The challenge on Arty Girlz this week is Blue so I decided to get my House Mouse stamps out and stamped my image, water coloured it in and matted it onto my card with some patterned papers and a greeting, all in blues!
This is the image I stamped for the card below first of all, but it was too dark for what I wanted and was going to discard it - then I thought - No, I will make it into a different card for the Arty Girlz challenge which is Nature this week! So I added some Stickles and matted it onto a lilac card with a greeting. It is a very simple card, but I like to do these sometimes as I think they are just as effective as the more 'busy' cards.
The theme on Arty Girlz this week is a Hint of Pink. I stamped a bird image and matted it onto some pink and then lemon paper. I added a piece of pink patterned paper to my card, stamped a message and matted that in the same way as the image. Quite a simple card.
The theme on Arty Girlz this week is Paint, so I got my acrylics out and thought, what now! I stamped a Crafty Individuals image onto what started out as a card, and clear embossed it, then painted blue and green dabbers over with a paint brush and rubbed some off with a wet baby wipe. Then I thought, no, I don't want it as a card, so I cut it into an arch and started stamping, sticking things on, and adding Stickles too (click on it to see the sparkly bits)! It is a bit colourful, but I quite like it!
The challenge on Arty Girlz this week is to create your own background. I have inked my card with Weathered Wood Distress Ink and spritzed it with water, then swiped a silver dabber across it. I have then stamped randomly over it. Then I stamped the sentiment and main image again onto a piece of card and rubbed them over with Weathered Wood too and edged with silver Krylon.
The challenge on Arty Girlz this week is Black and White, and as I have a few birthdays coming along soon I made a card for this one. I used DCWV paper, embossed some dots with my Cuttlebug embossing folder, stamped an image in black and matted her onto the card, and finished with some black ric rac and a white Prima and black brad!!
The challenge this week on Arty Girlz challenge blog is Stars - so here is my Cuddly Buddly Emmy stamp and some QK stars and other embellishments!
The challenge on Arty Girlz this week is Spring, so here is an inky stampy atc I have made! The tree stamp is by Magnolia, and I love the little bird sitting on the branch!
This week's challenge from the Arty Girlz is Circles. I have used some patterned card with circles on, stamped my Funky Fairy (so cute!!) and coloured her with Sakura pens to co-ordinate. Then I punched some circles with my Cropodile to embellish the Primas and bottom of the card!
This is a card I made for the Arty Girlz challenge which is 'Green'. I inked the background with Peeled Paint Distress Ink, splattered it with water and then stamped some leaves on in the same colour. Then I stamped a large tree with Olympia Green Versafine and embossed it, then inked round the edges with Peeled Paint, and matted it on to the card with green brads.
I have lost a couple of days this week due to illness, so I have combined 2 challenges for this tag!! One is the Arty Girlz Challenge which is stamping this week, and the other is the stamped decoupage challenge by Sunday Stampers. I have stamped this lovely daffodil girl by Stampotique, and stamped her head again and decoupaged it!
I am making a few Easter cards for my mum, and this card also covers a couple of challenges! The Arty Girlz challenge this week is to make a frame, and the Papertake Challenge is to use blooms! So I have done both on this card.
I made this card which actually covers 3 things really! One is the Arty Girlz Challenge which is to include a pocket on the item made which I have done! Another is to use DCWV products for a challenge on UKS, which I have done (Floral Stack papers) and the third thing is I needed a card for a friend who I think likes purple! I may have got that bit wrong but I hope she likes it anyway!!
