THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #523: AUTUMN COLOURS


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Autumn is such a beautiful time of year.  I especially love it, down here in Tasmania, because we have actual seasons, and the countryside is spectacular in Autumn.  Spring is starting for me down here, which is equally beautiful!  In honour of all our Northern Hemisphere followers, our theme for the week at The Paper Shelter is to use
AUTUMN COLOURS


I've used one of our newer images for this one.  The image is called Would You Buy Some Flowers?  

I have coloured the image with Copics, and used a Spellbinders die to cut it out.  I've used another die from the set, for the sentiment, which is a Clear Impressions stamp, from the In Bloom collection.  I've inked the edges of both die cuts.

My papers are from the Echo Park I Love Family paper pack.  

The doily was crocheted by my mother.  I've cut it in half, to use the two halves separately.  I've also added a strip of Ruby Rock It lace, and 49 and Market flowers.  To finish off, I've added two little Fancy Pants Designs puffy 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.

Thanks for popping in!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #521: CHARMING


Good Morning lovely crafters!


This week at The Paper Shelter, we're adding charms to our projects.  The theme for the week is
CHARMING

I have built my card entirely around the wonderful camper van charm I found at a local market stall.


I chose Ready For Some Camping for this one.  I coloured the image with Copics and added in a bit of a background for her.  

My papers are from the Bo Bunny Take A Hike paper pack.  It's an old one!  I used one edge of a Spellbinders die for the dotty paper, and Creative Dies die for the tag.  I also used a Darling Doilies freebie die from a craft magazine, for the yellow doily.

I've used Simplicity ric rac ribbon for the tag, and some hemp cord for the charm.

The HAPPY TRAILS sentiment is a sticker from the PhotoPlay Camp Happy Bear paper pack, and the flowers are Prima.






Now if you're like me, you have a pile of charms, just sitting there, waiting to get onto a card, so dig one out and join us this week.



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.
