The September Challenge!

Challenge 11 on the Crafty Addicts Facebook Group goes live today! Theme this time is, as normal, Anything Goes, and the optional option (lol, going to leave that in!) of "Use Glitter". Sami Stamps is the sponsor this time, she has some amazing images, you'll be hard pressed to choose if you win! She's giving away a $12 gift card to the winner!

I chose to use the image "With You" from Sami Stamps for my DT inspiration card. I needed an image for an Anniversary Card and I thought it would be nice change from hearty type pictures!

I tried doing some distress ink blending on kraft card, and then cosmic shimmer mist over the top to get a watery effect. I masked off the image and text whilst I played with the ink. Font is "Little Lord Fontleroy". I added some sequins around the image (kind of wanting it to look rainy?) and then made the umbrella out of two glitter card stocks. The flowery one I have had since the beginning of time, must have been one of the first things I bought when I started to make cards and FINALLY I have used it on a project, lol. Image is unsurprisingly coloured with polychromos... the waxy finished meant it resisted the ink that made it through my masks really well!

Challenge 21 - First Crafty Addicts Challenge for August!

Hi everyone! Excited to be able to share my inspiration card for the 21st Challenge on The Crafty Addicts Challenge Blog.

This time the theme is "ATG/Emboss it!" and the two fab sponsors are Di's Digis ($12 voucher) and SamiStamps ($12 voucher)

I have used a stamp called "Pile of Whiskers" by SamiStamps and it was loads of fun to colour.

On the computer I layered the image over the top of the "Happy Birthday" before printing it out, so it looked like they were lay on top of the text. (Font is CheapskateOutline).

It's unsurprisingly all done in polychromos on kraft card with some Papermania star gems. To fit the theme I embossed some kraft card with a couple of plates from my crafty stash and used them on the back piece.

Close up of the detail.
