PENNY'S PAPER-CRAFTY CHALLENGE #474: ANYTHING GOES

Our new challenge is up and running and we have two fantastic prizes up for grabs this time:

Giving away 3 digi images

Giving away 2 digi images

I have used a gorgeous image from SheepSki Designs, called Fair Lady.

I have coloured the images with markers and used a Spellbinders die to cut her out, letting her dress extend beyond the die.

My paper is from the Ciao Bella Broccato Estense.  I had to join two pieces, because I've used so much of this paper before, and didn't have a big enough piece.  It's such beautiful paper pack!  

I've added a Prima resin swirl and 49 and Market flowers, plus a ribbon from my stash, and a few Prima Say it in Crystals dots.

The team are showcasing images from two of our sponsors this week, so there's lots to see on the challenge blog.  Just click on our banner at the top of the page to head over for a look.

I have coloured the image with markers.

My papers are from the Echo Park Fall is in the Air paper pack.  I've added a ribbon from my stash and Darice Timeless Minis: a meat cleaver, a roll of paper towel in a holder, and little bowls and plates.

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS NEW RELEASE: SWEET MELODY - FLUTIST

We have a brand new set of musical images available later this week at Digi Doodle Studios, and we're showcasing them in our Facebook group.

This one is called Sweet Melody - Flutist

I have coloured the image with markers and then used a KaiserCraft circle die to cut her, and the sentiment out.  

I've typed the sentiment on my computer.

My papers are from the Stamperia New England paper pack.  I used a KaiserCraft scalloped edge circle die to cut out two of the papers.  

The fabulous musical laser cut is Scrapaholics.  I have sprayed it with white Gesso.  I've also added a crocheted doily.

I had intended to keep this card soft and muted, but when I was going through my flowers, I came across this stunning vine by Prima and the colour matched my coloured flowers so well, that I changed direction completely.  I've added a few other Prima flowers and a few Echo Park enamel dots.

To see more of this beautiful New Release, join us in our Facebook group.

Or you could just head straight to the Digi Doodle Studios store for cuties galore!

Thanks for popping in today!

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #432: COLOUR IT!

Good Morning everyone!

This week at The Paper Shelter, we challenge you to

COLOUR IT!

No pre-coloured images this week please.

This utterly adorable image is called Little Butterfly.

I have coloured the image with markers and then used a Spellbinders die to cut it out.  The sentiment has also been placed on a Spellbinders die cut.  I've used a Stampendous stamp for the sentiment

My papers are from the Couture Creations Butterfly Garden paper pack.  I've added a ribbon and two strips of Birch Creative lace.

The pretty corners are Make It Crafty laser cuts, which I've sprayed with white Gesso.  They were actually part of a frame that I cut apart.

I've added flowers from my stash and a few pearls.

There's always a fabulous prize up for grabs when you enter our challenges.  You could win a $30 store voucher if you've used a Paper Shelter product (digi image, pre-coloured image or paper) or 3 digi images 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.
