THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE#547: FOR A CHILD


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is
FOR A CHILD


This fun image is called My Racing Car.

I have coloured the image with Copics.

My papers are from the Carta Bella Little Boy paper pack.  The 'champion' banner and star are stickers from the same collection.  I've made a little bow with ribbon from my stash, and added a strip of washi tape (which I haven't used for YEARS!) 






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 #682: BIRTHDAY CARD

 

Good Morning colourists!


We have a new challenge for you at Passion for Markers this week.  It's an easy one!

This week we'd like to see 
BIRTHDAY CARDS

Up for grabs: 2 Digi images from our sponsor



I've used an adorable image called Birthday Owls, but I decided these cuties needed to be penguins instead.  

I coloured the image with Copics.

My papers are from the Doodlebug Design Farmers Market paper pack.  I've used a Creative Dies die for the tag, and two Find It Trading dies from a set of 10, for the bunting.  I've added a few Simple Stories enable dots.




Do pop past the challenge to see what the rest of the team have created to inspire you this week.

Thanks for popping in to see mine!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #545: ADD A TAG


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is
ADD A TAG



I've used Tuxedo Always Works on my card.  Isn't she fabulous!
Her background was inked using a Woodware stencil and Distress Ink.

My papers are from the DCWV Dark Fairytale paper pack.  I've used a Tim Holt die for the tag and tied it off with a velvet Tim Hiltz ribbon.

I've also used dies for my sentiment (Creative Expressions), and the doily (Die'sire).  My flowers are a mix of Green Tara, 49 and Market, and Prima.  There's also a strip of webbing, and I've finished off with a few Studio Light 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.

PASSION FOR MARKERS CHALLENGE #680: ANIMALS



Our lovely Kitty has chosen our theme at Passion for Markers this week:

ANIMALS

Our generous sponsor

is offering 3 Digi images to our lucky winner this week.


I have used cute Augie on my card, and coloured him with Copics.

I used the following colours:

Fur: E44; E43; E42; E41
Ears: V93; V91
Eyes: E29; E27; E25; E23
Nose: T7; T5; T3

I used rubbing alcohol (surgical spirits) and a facecloth to achieve the mottled look of his fur, after I'd coloured him.

My papers are from the Asuka Studio Dusty Blue Floral paper pack.  I've torn a few of the edges by hand, then distressed and inked all the edges.

I've tucked two strips of lace behind paper layers.  One from my stash, the other 49 and Market.  Angie was then mounted onto puffy pads.

My flowers are 49 and Market.  I've also added in a Little Birdie laser cut chipboard swirl and a few Echo Park enamel dots.




There are wonderful inspiration projects to see on the challenge blog, so be sure to pop over for a look.

Thanks for being here to see mine!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #543: DOTS AND/OR CIRCLE


Good Morning lovely crafters!


Our theme at The Paper Shelter this week is
DOTS AND/OR CIRCLES

I battled with this card!  Picking my image and colouring it up was easy, but once that was done, I changed my paper choices 3 times before settling on this combination, and even then, I wasn't really sure that I was happy.


This adorable image is called Hugging My Unicorn, and I have coloured it with Copics.  I then added little pearls amongst the stars and snowflakes, wherever there were circles.

The papers I finally settled on are from the Dress My Craft Pink Smoke paper pack.  I added a little pre-arranged flower set by Little Birdie and splashed around a few Carta Bella enamel dots.  The star and dot circles are Make It Crafty laser cuts, which I have coloured black.

I've also added a double bow, using Jenni B ribbons.

The highlight for me was the shaker star, which is actually a hair clip that I bought specifically for card making, a LONG time ago, but hadn't found the right card for it, until now.  I've 'clipped it onto the black dotty layer, rather than gluing it on, so that it can be removed and used as a clip.







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.
