Use Something From Your Craft Stash

Our sponsors this week are

If you feel this challenge could be a little hard, then think again

how many of us have loads of crafty bits hiding in our rooms?.

So open then draws and look into boxes and I bet you will find

more than enough to stuff to enter our challenge and maybe

even surprise yourself at what you find.

The design team have busy bee's creating for your

inspiration, so go on over and have a looks at what

they have come up with.

My card has been made using the image Noah's Tire Swing

from Paper Creator and you can find it HERE.

DETAILS

1.I took a 7 x 7 white scalloped edge card and matted it brown card.

2. Next I took a piece of Hessian (from my stash) and laid it across

the card.

3. The image is pre-coloured and once I printed it off I cut down to

size and distressed around the edges before adhering to my card.

4. The three sentiments I have stamped (again something from my

stash) using the same T/H ink.

To complete the last items from my stash were  the three buttons.

Well that's it, a really quick card but a cute one don't you think?

Until Next Time

The theme for this fortnight's challenge is

    and we are sponsored this fortnight by

The ladies on the design team have been working

for inspiration, well worth a peep.

I have used one of my own images  for this challenge 

 from Elizabeth Bell named Planting Some Love

DETAILS

      1.  Using fancy card from my stash, I made Faux stitching

by using black marker pen.

 2.  With S/B dies Grand Labels Four I cut three labels
from blue,pink and white card. They were then

embossed using X cut embossing folder
Dandelion Seeds.  Again using black marker
pen I created the Faux Stitching.

   

3. The image was printed onto the white card and

 then coloured with Copic Markers.

4. Before adhering the layers to the card I adhered
a doily, then using foam tape layered up
each layer.  To the image card I attached
a piece of lace.

To complete the card I added a bow and heart gem
to the bow centre and pink gems at the edges.

Hope you will join us over at Dream Valley and
looking forward to seeing your creations.

Good Afternoon

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors

I cannot believe that yet another month has been and gone.

November is here, so if you have not yet started with the 

Christmas cards, I think you had better get going because

if November is like the rest of the year in a blink of an eye

it will be Christmas.

Thanks to everyone who joined our last challenge, there were

so many wonderful entries.  So as you can guess its time again

for another new challenge at PENNY'S PAPER CRAFTY

The theme this week is MONOCHROMATIC

We are sponsored this week by

Deedee Digi

Prize $15 Gift Certificate

and

Little Blue Button

Prize $10 Gift Certificate for their online store

Now monochromatic is not as dad as it sound, simply means

using the same colour but in different shades.  I have chosen

a very cute image from Little Blue Button entitled  Miss Lilly

With Umbrella  and you can purchase her HERE.  I have

chosen to use  varying shades of grey as my colour palette.

DETAILS

1. Started with a 7 x 7 what card and added a brick background

paper created  in MCS.

2. Next I die cut the puddles background and shaded with grey

(sorry shading is something I need to practise as somehow

I never seem to get the shades to flow into one another)

This was then adhered to the background and I have

added 3D clear gloss liquid embossing to the puddles

and raindrops.

3. The image was coloured with Copic and the fuzzy cut

then adhered  flat to the card.

4. Using grey card from my stash I cut out an aperture so as

to create a frame and this was then placed over the card

using foam tape to give height and the illusion of a picture

frame.

To complete I created some paper flowers out of grey paper,

made a bow and used gems in the corners that I coloured

with a grey marker.

I do hope you will join us, if you think you need some

inspiration,  then please  hop on over to the blog and

see what my fabulous team buddies have created.

Until Next Time

As Always

frame across them. The image frame was then adhered using

foam pads. Just to give that added sparkle I used glitter on 

parts of the image.

To complete red pearl gems were added and the sentiment

Happy Christmas.
