CUTE AS A BUTTON CHALLENGE #72: ANYTHING GOES + LOTS OF LAYERS

Good Morning crafters!

Our new challenge has kicked off on the Cute As A Button Challenge Blog, and this month, the team have the theme of LOTS OF LAYERS.  You are welcome to follow the theme along with us, but it is optional, so don't let it hold you back from entering the challenge.

The image I've used is called I'm Sweet On You.  I have coloured it with Copics, and used a Poppy Crafts die to cut it out.  

While we're on the topic of dies, I also used a Jeanine's Art die for the doily and a Bo Bunny die for the sentiment tag.  I had to send the doily through twice and it moved the 2nd time, leaving a bit of a shadow cut, but I quite liked the 'tattered' look it had, so I decided not to pop out all the bits from the doily, just for something different.

My papers are from the Asuka Studio So Sweet paper pack.  Even though the back paper has a wonderful watercolour wash of colour, I felt that the revealed areas were a little bland, so I spritzed a little Ranger Perfect Pearls Mist onto it, in Cappuccino.  I have torn the edges of the woodgrain paper and inked the edges.

The butterfly swirl is a Little Birdie chipboard laser cut, which I have coloured with one of the pinks from the image.  The corner laser cuts are Celebr8.  I've coloured them with one of the greens from the image.

I've added three strips of lace.  The pink and white were from my stash (unnamed).  The green one is Ruby Rock-It.  I've also added lots of pearls and Prima flowers.

Pop into the Cute As A Button store to see more of these gorgeous images.

DIGI DOODLE STUDIOS CHALLENGE #42: SHAKER/SHAPED CARD/GIFT BAGS/BOXES

We have a fabulously fun theme for you this month, with lots of options!

Our theme for the month is:

SHAKER OR SHAPED CARDS / GIFT BAGS / BOXES

I've decided to go with a shaped card, and the easiest way to do that, is to let my Silhouette Cameo do it for me!  I chose an Autumn basket of leaves, offset the image, doubled it up and welded it, for my base card and then cut out the different elements in the different colours.  

To keep with the Autumn theme, I chose Heidi Autumn.  I absolutely love the joy of this image!  I coloured the image with Copics, then used a Creative Dies wonky stitches die to cut it out, and inked the edges.  I've mounted the image panel so that half of it is overlapping the Autumn basket.

My sentiment is made up of two stickers from the Echo Park Fall is in the Air collection.

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

This means we'd like to see hand coloured images this week.

I've chosen one of the older images in store, and gone with a coffee themed card.  The image is called Coffee Break.

I have coloured my image with Copics, distressed and inked the edges, as well as those of my papers, which are from the Heartfelt Creations Coffee Talk paper pack.

My flowers are Green Tara and the cup and coffee bean are Eyelet Outlet brads.  I've added a recycled ribbon from my stash, a strip of bobble lace and a few pearls, to finish things off.

PAPER NEST DOLLS MOTORCYCLE OWEN

Father's Day is in September in Australia, and the father I created this for, is into anything with an engine, specifically motorcycles.

The image is called Motorcycle Owen, and I have coloured it with Copics.  I've drawn in a forest background for him, and used a Poppy Crafts die to frame the image.  

My papers are from the DCWV Spiced Cider paper pack.  

I've added some twine and a few Prima Say it in Crystals dots.

I've used two different sentiments for this card.  The top sentiment is a Hunkydory stamp, and the bottom sentiment is an Altenew stamp.

You can find more of these cuties in the Paper Nest Dolls Store.

ADD A TAG

to your creation

Up for grabs this week are 3 digi images from

I have used adorable little Mia on my card.  I have coloured the image with Copics, and thankfully, this time I remembered to make a note of which colours I used along the way, so I could share them with you:

My papers are from the Echo Park Coffee and Friends collection.  The collection also comes with stickers, so I added a few of those too.  

My tag was cut using a Poppy Crafts die, and the sentiment is cut from one of the papers in the same collection.  I've used an Offray ribbon for the tag.

Lastly, I added one little Green Tara flower.
