This week I worked with a gorgeous digi from Stitchy herself. It's called Park Bench, and it's available here

I colured the image with Promarkers. the background paper is from a pad I've had for ages. The flowers were die cut using Marianne Creatables dies, as was the frond.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 59 - Don't Use Flowers!

Here's a chance to make a male card, or a general card, or even something as girly as you like, all we're asking is that you don't add flowers! Of course, looking around blogland, that might prove to be quite a challenge.

Our sponsors this time are Digi Doodle's Shop and One Stop Card Crafts.

I decided to use a Digi Doodles image I won a while ago, and this one is probably my favourite. It's called 'Waterfall'.

I watercoloured the image - mainly with Aquamarkers, although the water uses Twinkling H2Os for that little bit of shimmer. The background paper is from Paper Cellar, and I edged it with turquoise ink. The swirls are Spellbinders die cuts. And that's it!

I hope you can join us this week.

One Stitch at a Time Challenge 95

This week at One Stitch at a Time, we want you to use three embellishments! Any theme or colours you like, as long as we can count three embellishments.

This week, I had an image from Reece's Scrap Pieces called Stroll in the Rain which is available from Stitchy Bear Digital Stamps.

I coloured the image with Promarkers and used nesties to cut and mat the result. The flowers are made from multiple layers of tissue paper cut with my Dahlia dies from Spellbinders, and the green fronds use a Marianne Creatables die. The paper used was the same both times, although I oriented the paper both ways in the die so I got mirror images of the final result. I think that slight difference in curvature of the die cut is the reason they look so different in the photo! The background was embossed in my Wizard using a dragonflies embossing folder.

Hope you can join us this week.

One Stitch at a Time Challenge 94

Happy New Year!
This week at One Stitch at a Time, we're restarting the Collaboration from Stitchy Digital Stamps but with a difference! The images and papers have been chosen by the DT members, and they'll be packaged together as a free gift for you if you spend $10 in the shop. How's that for a good deal?

My choice for the package was one of Panda Bear Designs Fairy Garden paper packs which I've teamed below with Stitchy's gorgeous silhouette 'Reach'.

 

 I took one of the papers, and combined it with the png of the silhouette in Photoshop Elements, adding the bird and a frame to match. I printed the result onto glossy photo paper. I mounted that onto some holographic silver card, and then onto one of the other papers in the pack. I wrapped some pretty holographic silver thread around the result before putting the whole thing onto a plain white card. I don't know about you, but I'm like a child when it comes to shiny things. Holographic things just seem completely magical to me, and are therefore perfect for a card depicting a fairy!

Hope you can join us this week.
