Just because

Good morning blogland,

I'm back today to let you know it's the start of a new challenge over at Colour Crazy Craft Challenge and, as always, the theme is Anything Goes, as long as there is something hand coloured on your project.

This week we are sponsored by Jan's Digital Stamps, the Design Team were very kindly allowed to use some of their images and this is my make with Sweetheart Candy.  There is also a sentiment with this set, which I didn't use. As always I coloured the image with my Copics, but for once I fussy cut it out instead of using a whole panel to cover the front of the card!

A bit of stencilling, some stripy paper and some gemstones and card done!

Supplies used:

Digital stamp:

Jan's Digital Stamps - Sweetheart Candy

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp and die:

Creative Expressions - Bold Shadowed Stamp and Die Set : BECAUSE

Stencil:

Pretty Pink Posh - Layered Hearts stencil

Anything else:

striped paper

gem hearts

Distress Oxide and Ink

blending brush

Hope you get a chance to pop over to the challenge and see the fabulous cards my fellow Teamies have made, and then maybe join in with the challenge as well.  There's always prizes on offer and you never know, you might just win!

Signing off for now, but back again tomorrow!

See you soon,

Sarah

Challenge/s:

No 1 Dad

Good afternoon blogland,

Am rushing in here with being extremely late to the party with a card for the new challenge over at Colour Crazy Craft Challenge, as always it's Anything Goes theme, but we are a colouring challenge so there has to be some element of hand colouring on your entry to be eligible to win the prize or a Top 3 pick.

For this week's challenge, I've used a brilliant image for those wonderful TBDHs (or The Best Dad in the Houses or, as no doubt more 'normal' people call them - fathers, dads, daddies, step-dads!), #1 Dad,  from our fabulous sponsor Jan's Digi Stamps. As it's a masculine card this time, I left off all the sparkly, glittery, shiny stuff and went with a more graphic, clean cut, design.

I won't bombard you with waffle this time (that can be saved for the next post - we had TTT's end of term report yesterday and projected GCSE grades - eeek!) as I'm super late.  Just point you in the direction of my card, and the challenge! Wonder if you'd like to come join in? I'd love to see your creation!! :-)

Supplies used:

Digital image:

Jan's Digital Stamp Shop - #1 Dad

coloured with my Copics

Rubber stamp:

Taylored Expression - Simple Strips: Man, Myth, Legend (for the sentiment)

Dies:

Taylored Expression - Simple Strips: Well Rounded

Also one for the edge of dotty paper but that was a scrap and I can't remember what die I used.

Anything else?

Echo Park Paper - Splash

Gunmetal grey card

Woodware corner rounder punch 

What I did:

Re-sized, printed (on Copic friendly paper) and fussy cut out the digital stamp.

Took a sheet of the patterned paper, cut it to size and rounded the corners with a punch.

Matted the paper onto card, cut to size and rounded the edges of that with the same punch.

Glued the patterned paper and card onto the card blank, then glued the die-cut onto the bottom of them.

Added 3d foam to the image and sentiment then popped them onto the front of the card.

et voila, job done!

I'll be back soon!

Signing off,

Sarah

Challenge /s:

Tic Tac Toe Challenge: I picked horizontal - White/free/sentiment

TIME OUT Challenges: Challenge 207 - CASe a card : Now I know at first glance it doesn't look anything like the original card, but! I took inspiration from a main 'image' and the 'spray' behind that image. Although, yes, the sentiment is off to one corner! Artistic licence maybe??
