THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #587: SPRING COLOURS


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is:
SPRING COLOURS


I've chosen one of the images from the Girls With Glasses pdf colouring book.

I've coloured the image with Copics and used a simple card design using papers from the Echo Park My Favorite Easter paper pack.

I've added a strip of Birch Creative lace and a handmade doily.  My flowers are Little Birdie and the 2 little bees are nameless.





Up for grabs at The Paper Shelter this week is our usual fantastic prize!  Our winner will win a $30 store voucher if you've used a Paper Shelter product on your entry (you could choose the pre-coloured image, the black and white digi, or the digital paper that comes in the set), or 3 digis of your choice, if you've used another brand.  You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.

Thanks for popping in!

PASSION FOR MARKERS CHALLENGE #730: SHAPED CARD

 
We have a fun new challenge ready to go on the blog this week, and our lovely Kitty has chosen your theme.  She'd like to see SHAPED CARDS this week.


Up for grabs, we have 3 digi images from our generous sponsor


I've been having lots of fun colouring flowers recently, so I chose Tulips for my card.  

I created the background card on my Cameo which also allowed me to cut my papers perfectly.  My papers are from the Poppy Crafts Purple Brilliance paper pack.

I've coloured the image with Copics and used a Poppy Crafts die to cut it out.  The sentiment is a Creative Expressions stamp.  All I've added to the card are 3 little American Crafts pearls.




Circles are definitely an easy way to produce a shaped card, but there are so many great ideas available, especially if you're using a Cricut or Cameo to cut them out for you.  For more ideas, be sure to check our what the rest of the team have created this week.

Thanks for visiting today!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #585: PINK/PEARLS


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is:
PINK AND/OR PEARLS


I had a wonderful 3 week visit from my sister, and while she was here, we decided to re-colour one of the first Paper Shelter images we ever used.  I chose Si Belle!  You can see my original version here, coloured way back in 2015.  We had great fun comparing our two versions, and seeing how far we've both come.

I've coloured this gorgeous image with Copics, and chosen papers from the Stamperia Romance Collection.  I've distressed all the edges.  I've added a strip of lace and made a bow with it.  I've then added a Bella! Bling pearl swirl, and The Paper Boutique individual pearls.





Up for grabs at The Paper Shelter this week is our usual fantastic prize!  Our winner will win a $30 store voucher if you've used a Paper Shelter product on your entry (you could choose the pre-coloured image, the black and white digi, or the digital paper that comes in the set), or 3 digis of your choice, if you've used another brand.  You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.

I've used Little Black-eyed Susan Flower Cup on my card, and kept it really simple this week.

I've used the gorgeous Elegant Era Muse, and coloured her with Copics.  

My papers are from the Studio Light Best of Jenine's Mindful Art Collection.  I've distressed the edges.  

My flowers are 49 and Market.  I've also added a Little Birdie laser cut, which Ive coloured with one of my Copic markers, and three little American Crafts pearls.  The ribbon is Offray.

PASSION FOR MARKERS CHALLENGE #726: ADD SOME SPARKLE


Good Morning crafty friends.



Our theme this week has been chosen by our lovely Elaine.  She would like you to 
ADD SOME SPARKLE

Our generous sponsor this week has £10 up for grabs to spend in the store




I've used one of the gorgeous new releases called Bunny's Bike, which comes with the sentiment.  I've coloured the image with Copics and used a Craft Emotions die to frame it.

I decided to add sparkle to my project, in my paper.  All my papers come from the First Edition Spring Drop paper pack, and if you look at the close-up pics, you'll see that the background paper is covered with glitter.

The cute carrots and adorable little bee are from the same paper pack.

I've added a Jenni B ribbon, and one American Crafts pearl, and one American Crafts enamel dot.




Be sure to pop over to the challenge blog to see other sparkly creations.

Thanks for visiting!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #581: SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH F


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is:
SOMETHING BEGINNING WITH F



I've gone with FLOWERS and chosen an image from the Flowers pdf Colouring Book.

I love making cards without any sentiments, so that I can choose later what occasion I want to use it for.  I have Mother's Day in my head for this one.

I have coloured the image with Copics and inked the edges.  

My paper is from the Stamperia Ceremony paper pack.  I've added a Celebr8 laser cut and a few Pink Fresh Studio enamel dots.  




Up for grabs at The Paper Shelter this week is our usual fantastic prize!  Our winner will win a $30 store voucher if you've used a Paper Shelter product on your entry (you could choose the pre-coloured image, the black and white digi, or the digital paper that comes in the set), or 3 digis of your choice, if you've used another brand.  You can enter the challenge up to 3 times, provided you've used a Paper Shelter product on at least one of them.
