PENNY'S PAPER-CRAFTY CHALLENGE #432: ANYTHING GOES

We have a new challenge starting at Penny's today, with a fantastic prize up for grabs!

I've gone clean and simple this week - tough for me!

I've used one of the gorgeous images from the Floral Set 2 to make a Congratulations card.

I've coloured the image with markers and added a few pearls.

My Congratulations is an Impression Obsession die cut.  My background has been embossed using an Embossalicious embossing folder.  These are my favourite embossing folders, because they come in A4 size.  Since my cards are A5, the normal little embossing folders are a little small for what I need.

The team have put together gorgeous inspiration for you this week, so pop back to the blog to see, or you can click on our sponsor's logo to head straight to the store!

Thanks so much for popping in for a look today!

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS CHALLENGE #495: ADD GEMS/PEARLS

Good Morning everybody!

This week I have the honour of deciding on the theme for our challenge at Passion for Promarkers.  

I'd like you to 

ADD GEMS OR PEARLS

to your creation this week.

I add pearls to almost every card I make, so it wasn't much of a challenge for me!

Up for grabs this week is a 6-pack of Promarkers (skin tones set 1), from

I've chosen an image from Make It Crafty this week.  It's called Maiden Emoni, and I've coloured the image with the following Promarkers:

Skin: Coral; Soft Peach; Oatmeal; Blush Almond

Hair (and black in the dress): Black; Cool Greys 3-5

Eyes: Marine; Green; Soft Green

Red: Ice Grey 4; Crimson; Berry Red; Lipstick Red

I also used a white pencil to highlight the dress folds and a red gel pen for the laces in the bodice.

I spent days after colouring the image, trying to decide which papers I wanted to use, and I'm so glad I waited, because I then had a craft delivery arrive, and it included a paper pack I'd forgotten I'd ordered, which was PERFECT!  Ciao Bella Loving In The Rain.  I have distressed and inked the edges.

I've added a crocheted doily and a strip of KaiserCraft lace.  My pearl swirl is Bella! Bling.  The red pearl heart design is Prima Say It In Pearls.  I've also added a few random pearls.  I made a little bow with a spare piece of ribbon I had in my stash.  My flowers are all Green Tara.

The team have created some beautiful cards to give you a few ideas this week, so be sure to pop back to the challenge to have a look, and you can visit our fantastic sponsor by clicking on their logo above.

I look forward to seeing lots of pearl or gem creations this week!

PENNY'S PAPER-CRAFTY CHALLENGE #431

I've been on the look out for images lately, that I can use on Anniversary cards, and this one from Imagine That is definitely one of the cutest I've seen.

It's called Llama Kisses.  The fun sentiment is part of the set.

I've coloured the image with markers, and cut it out using a Poppy Crafts die.  The heart is also a Poppy Crafts die cut, and the picket fence is a Couture Creations die cut.

My paper is from the Heartfelt Creations Floral Fashionista collection.  I've added a strip of wispy stuff and a strip of lace, and made a bow with a pretty ribbon from my stash.  The flowers are Prima and the little wooden hearts are KaizerCraft.

We have a wonderful prize up for grabs this week:

You'll be able to see a few more of their images showcased on the Penny's blog.

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #384: BIRTHDAY GIRL

We're focusing on the girls at The Paper Shelter this week.  Your theme for the week:

BIRTHDAY GIRL

I've used Cool Skater on my card.  I've coloured the image with markers and cut it out with a Poppy Crafts die.  I've used the same set of dies for the sentiments.

My papers are from the DCWV Bouquet de Fleur pack, and to balance the fact that I've not gone too feminine with the image, I've kept the papers pink.  

My flowers are all Green Tara and the skate ramp and helmet are Jolee's.  I've also added a few pearls.

We always have a fantastic prize up for grabs at The Paper Shelter!  You could win a $30 store voucher is you've used a Paper Shelter product (black & white digi, pre-coloured digi or paper), 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'm looking forward to seeing your creations this week!
