Challenge 37! Bring on Summer! :D

Time for another Crafty Addicts Challenge!! This time we are delighted to have Décosse Dynamite Doodles sponsoring us and Lisa (Décosse) has kindly offered us any element from her "A Taste Of Summer Kit" to make a DT project with. If you would like to enter this challenge, for a chance to win the whole of this awesome set, please pop by the blog and enter up to 3 projects. The theme is ATG or Summer Colours!

Fish, waves and water spurt are all part of the general elements set. Lisa has allowed me to recolour one of the fishes for my card, so I can make one unique! The awesome wavey background was one of the papers in the Bonus Natural Textures Set and I also used one of her sentiments too (Not part of the summer set).

The only other things I have added are Nuvo Jewel Drops, Glossy Accents and Stickles. I also 3D foam mounted the topper onto an A5 white card blank.

If you would like to preview everything in the set, please use this link and scroll down to see everything in the "A Taste Of Summer Kit". (Right at the bottom are also the sentiment selection). If you click on one of the images you can view everything in a bigger scale and scroll through the images.)

Challenge 37 at the Crafty Addicts.

A new challenge has started on The Crafty Addicts Challenge Blog and the theme is ATG or Use diecuts.

Two smashing sponsors, Polkadoodles (Prize of Prize £6.75 approx 3 images) and Conie Fong Art (Prize of $10 gift card)!

I have made two cards, one from each sponsor. First -  have used Sally and Little Squirrel by Conie Fong.

Conie's stamps are a delight to colour and I am probably going to use this stamp a lot while I explore using different colour ways and styles etc. Love it! It's possibly meant to be a christmas image, but I am going to use it for a wintery birthday card instead.

The diecut I have used it called Leafy Tree Backdrop Portrait from Lawn Fawn. The leaves also come with the die and I used them with blue vellum.
Coloured with Polychromos Pencils on Kendal Buff Cardstock.
Tiny spot of stickles on the flower.
Posca pen to make the spots.
Blue baker's twine from the stash.

My second card is using Polkadoodles - Meribelle Rock It!  I've printed it onto kraft card and then coloured it with polychromo pencils. I also added in some white highlights using a posca paint pen.

The dies I have used as part of the frame are from a set by Sue Wilson called Fillables Fish Bowl. I added a touch of Nuvo Jewel drops to the sea horses to make a different texture.

Finished card -

Polkadoodles gave the Design Team a choice of three super digistamps for this challenge:

Meribelle Rock It

Female Painter Decorator

Foxy Friend
