PENNY'S PAPER-CRAFTY CHALLENGE #493: ANYTHING GOES USING PAPER

 

Good Morning lovely crafters!


We have two super prizes up for grabs at Penny's this fortnight!

giving away a $10 store voucher

and

giving away 3 digi images of the winner's choice

One of the amazing things about both our sponsors is that they offer pre-coloured images too, and this time, I decided to take a break from my love of colouring, and create something with pre-coloured images instead.



I've gone with Simple Rose Spray with Panels and Sentiments, from Fred She Said.  I chose four different individual roses to make 4 bookmarks.  I doubled up the roses, to have one at the top and one at the bottom, and I added a different sentiment from the set, to each one.  



I had intended to add a border or ink the edges, but once these were cut out, I just loved that they faded away to white in the middle, and didn't want to mess with that, so I left them alone.

I love how quick and simple these were to make!

Be sure to pop past the challenge blog to see what the rest of the team have created and get your entry in, to stand in line to win one of our super prizes.

Thanks for popping in today!

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS KEIRA AND HER PUPPY


This little cutie from Digi Doodle Studios is called Keira and Her Puppy.


I have coloured the image with Copics and used a Creative Dies wonky stitches oval die to cut her out.

My papers are from the Dress My Craft Pink Smoke paper Pack.  They're actually so beautiful, I was sad to cover them up.

I've used a Spellbinders die cut to frame the pink paper.  The pearl border is a no-name brand from my Dollar Store, and I've added a little KaiserCraft pearl to the 4 corners of the die cut frame.  My flowers are all from I Am Roses.


We have lots of inspiration to share in our Facebook Group, so be sure to join us there!


You can head directly to the store if you prefer:

THE PAPER SHELTER CHALLENGE #462: ADD SOME FLOWERS


 Good Morning crafters!


This week  at The Paper Shelter we'd like you to 
ADD SOME FLOWERS 
to your creation



This beautiful image is called Summer Winds.  I have coloured the image with Copics and drawn in  bit of a background for her.

My paper is from the W&M CB123 paper pack.  It's a beautiful mix of papers from their other, colour coordinated packs.  I've added a strip of sheer ribbon from my stash and a few pearls.

My flowers are a mix of 49 and Market, Blossoms by Vivaldi, and I Am Roses.

I have stamped my sentiment directly onto the background paper - which always worries me, because if it goes wrong, I've wasted the paper.  It worked well though, thankfully.  The stamp is by Emma Jones.

I decided to leave the card at that, because it's quite a detailed image, and I didn't want to crowd it.






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 to see my card today!

PASSION FOR PROMARKERS CHALLENGE #584: BUNNIES AND/OR BLOOMS

 

Good Morning lovely crafters!


This week we have a super prize up for grabs from
giving away 1 stamp set from those in stock

Our lovely Lisa has chosen our theme this week.  She'd like to see 
BUNNIES AND/OR BLOOMS 
on your creation.



I have used a sweet little bunny from Di's Digi Stamps, called The Carrot is Mine.  I wasn't able to find it in store anymore, so I haven't linked it for you.

I have coloured the image with Copics and then cut it out with a blade.

My papers are from the DCWV Bouquet de Fleur paper pack.  The Happy Birthday was cut on my Cameo.

I've added a little bow and a few pearls. 

The girls have put together a beautiful set of inspiration cards this week, so be sure to pop over to have a look.  Thanks for popping in to see mine!

PAPER NEST DOLLS ELLIE WITH FLOWER BASKET


Today I have a Mother's Day card to share with you, using Ellie With Flower Basket from Paper Nest Dolls.  


I have coloured the image with Copics and used a Spellbinders die to cut it out.  

My papers are from a little 6x6 paper pack called Sweet Memories.  I think it was a freebie pack with a crafting magazine.  I layered one of the papers using another of the Spellbinders dies in the set.  The yellow paper and its white backing have been cut with a Spellbinders border die.

I've added flowers from KaiserCraft and I Am Roses, and a few Dovecraft pearls.

The sentiment is a KaiserCraft stamp.




You can find more of these adorable images in the Paper Nest Dolls store.

PENNY'S PAPER-CRAFTY CHALLENGE #492: ANYTHING GOES USING PAPER



 Good Morning lovely crafters!

We have two super sponsors giving away prizes at Penny's this fortnight!


and



I have used a beautiful image from Stampers Delights called Anime Peace Out.

I have coloured the image with Copics and then used a Tim Holtz stencil and Distress Ink to create the background.  Now I'm not sure you can tell, but the stencil is scribble hearts, and the negative spaces have been inked.  It just looks like splices to me, but it created a fun background anyway, so I left it at that.

My papers are from the Ella & Viv Groovy Kit paper pack.  I've added two ribbons from my stash - the thicker white one, and the cute flowers.  I think the flower ribbon is First Edition, but I had it without a label in my ribbon box, so I'm not sure.  It just happens to remind me of an old Easter paper pack by First Edition.  

I typed up the sentiment and used two KaiserCraft dies to cut it out.  I've also added 4 Dress It Up glittery flower buttons.



Be sure to get your entries in for a chance to win one of our super prizes this fortnight!

CUTE AS A BUTTON LOVE MY COPICS


 One of the things I'm always on the lookout for, is an image I can use on a card for a fellow cardmaker.  We can find images for all sorts of things, but images specifically for a fellow cardmaker are rare.  I just love this one from Cute As A Button, called Love My Copics.


I have coloured the image with Copics of course, and then cut her out with a blade.  

My papers are from two different DCWV paper packs:  the pink paper from the Okey Dokey pack, and the purplish-grey woodgrain from the Samantha Rose paper pack.

I've cut a Silhouette machine on my Silhouette Cameo and added flowers from I Am Roses.  Finally, the little pearl hearts are Crafters Choice.
