Good Morning

My Crafty Friends, followers and Visitors

Welcome to today's  challenge #  78 
( This will be our last one this year) over at 

Creative Craft Cottage 

 and the theme is

ANYTHING GOES 

Our sponsors for this challenge are :-

A Day For Daisies

Prize $12 Gift Certificate

Prize 3 Digi Stamps 

Bugaboo

Prize 7 Digi images of winners choice

My card has been made using the image Finger Paint from

A Day For Daisies and if you would like to purchase, then

please click on the link HERE.

DETAILS

1. Using a 7 x 7 card I first matted it with kraft card.

Next layer is paper from my stash and I  then

inked around the edges.

2. Cut another square of kraft card and to this

I have adhered a piece of marble paper from

Craftwork cards paper pack Marble. I die

   cut it using Spellbinder Grand Scalloped Squares.

Mounted onto card with foam tape. Again inked

around the edges

3. Took a circle die and again the marble paper

and die cut it. Attached this to a circle of kraft

card and again adhered to card. Same as the

other die, inked the edges.

4. The image was printed onto water colour card

and I coloured it using Derwent Inktense Pencils

( Only the second time of using but I have done 

my best). This was then die cut with a circular

die mounted onto a circular kraft card. I then

used distress ink to cover the frame as I did

not want to leave it white.

To complete I have added Nuvo Jewel Drops

(these are awesome) around the image and

in the top and bottom left hand corner.

All that remains is for me to wish you 

A VERY MERRY CHRISTMAS

& 

HAPPY NEW YEAR.

See you again in  2017 ( I hope)

Until Next Time

My card has been made using the gorgeous image
Walking With You from Small and Round and

DETAILS
1. Taking an 8 x 8 card I created an easel card. I then
matted both top and bottom with blue card.

2. I created another mat from white card and embossed
using a daisy embossing folder. Before attaching to
the card I glittered each flower using Stickles and
left to dry.

3. The card on the bottom is from Craftwork Cards
paper pack Marble. I have then added two strings
of gems to act as the stopper. Added two just
because I could and wanted to add a little
more sparkle.  These gem strips I found in
Home Bargains in the Wedding Section and
were quite cheep but they look amazing and
really do sparkle.

4. The image was coloured with my Copic and
I added sparkle around her using Sparkle
gel pens. Added tiny gems to the stars around
her head and put some in her hair but sorry they
do not show up very well.  Glossy accent added
to the flowers in her hair and on her eyes.
She was the die cut using SB die Elegant Ovals
and mounted onto the card with foam tape.

So there you have it, all that remains for me to say is
I wish everyone a

 Very Merry Christmas and A Happy New Year

Hope you have a fabulous Christmas

Until Next Time
As Always

Challenge Blog http://abitmoretimetocraft.blogspot.com.au/

DETAILS

1. Started with an 8 x 8 white scolloped edge card added
backing paper from the Christmas papers from Lozzy.
Before it was adhered I have wrapped a piece of lace
across the centre and rounded the edges of the paper.

2. I took a topper from a Hunky-dory collection that
I had in my stash, I took my craft  knife and cut a slit
in the back for her headband and inserted three small
pink feather to give the topper an bit more lift.
She was then matted  onto silver mirri card and
then adhered to the card at a slight angle.

To complete I added pearls to the top left and bottom right
of the card, added the sentiment with foam tape and
added a pearl to this also.

So there you go, a very quick but I think stylish card, in fact
I think I will be giving this card to my mum for Christmas
as pink is one of her favourite colours.

Thank you for calling and all the lovely comments that

a piece of lace across the bottom section. Also I
die cut the snowflake border from mirror card and
adhered this to the top of the card, again before
the backing paper was adhered.

the shooting star and also the flourish. Added three
gems at top left and bottom right of the card.

Add Some Glitter

DETAILS

1. Started out with an 8 x 8 scalloped edged white card and
to this I have added a Snowflake border die that I glittered
up first.

2. Next I added another piece of card that I printed off
with a backing paper from the Polkadoodles cd
Frosted Winter. The image in the corner was also
glittered up.

3. I then printed off the matching pre coloured image and
           fuzzy cut.  Before cutting I went over the background using
         Pan Pastels to give a softer look.  Again a lot of the image
had glitter added before adhering to the card.

out of centura pearl card and then added glitter all over.

team buddies have designed for your inspiration.  We hope  you

also come along and support us by joining in.

DETAILS

1. With a 7 x 7 white card I first matted it with gold mirri

card that I have embossed with reindeers. (Sorry the card

is not showing as clear as it should but every time I  tried

to lighten it there was to much glare from the mirri card.)

2. Next I added  a piece of burlap across the centre.

3. The topper has been taken from the cd Yuletide Wishes

from Ooh La La. I have used the smallest one and

adhered to the card using foam tape.

Christmas tag. A green pearl gem was also added to

the tag and three in the top left hand corner and

three in the bottom right corner.

Christmas/Winter Holiday

We Have New Challenge Blog Rules, so please Note:-

DETAILS

1.  I took an 8 x 8 card and made it into an Easel card.

Friends.

2. Using spellbinder dies I cut the larger frame from

gold card and adhered this to the card.

3. The image is a pre-coloured one again from the cd

Daisy May + Friends and this also was die cut and

then adhered to the first frame also with foam tape.

Before adhering I added gold glitter all around the

edge of the frame .

4.  The Ho Ho Ho  and snowflake dies are I think

 Sue Wilson dies, although not quite sure. These

again have been cut from gold card.

before adding to the bottom of the card to act as the

stopper.

Dancing Penguin

Good Morning,

My Crafty Friends, Followers and Visitors,

Hello to you all. How are we all doing?

Welcome to challenge # 47 over at

Lil Patch Of Crafty Friends

The theme is as always

Anything Goes 

My design team buddies have created some fabulous
cards, well worth taking a peek. I am sure you are
bound to find inspiration from their  work

Our sponsors  for this challenge are:-

Fred She Said

Prize $12 Gift Card

and

The Stamping Boutique/Glitterbabe

Prize 2 but 3 images if using TSB/GB images

For my card I have chosen to use the image Dancing Penguin
from Fred She Said and you can purchase it HERE.

DETAILS

1. Using pale blue card I created a stepper card. It was then

matted with paper from the Christmas papers from Lozzy.

2. Next I die cut the silver mirri board and adhered to the

centre of the card.

3. The next layer is dark blue hessian laid across the card

4. The image is a pre coloured one and I have used a pin

hole circle die to cut it out. Before attaching to the card

I added glitter to his hat and around the show. It was

adhered to the card with foam tape.

The image came with 4 smaller images so I decided to

use two on the front and the other two inside,
  and again these also have had glitter added

and were cut using the same set of circle dies as

the larger one.

To complete I created a snowflake from the Christmas

paper and again glittered before mounting onto the card.

I would like to wish you and your loved ones

A Very Happy Christmas and NewYear

See you in 2017
