One Stitch at a Time Challenge 216

This week at One Stitch at a Time the challenge is to use a digi. And, if that digi came from the Stitchy Bear Outlet, then you'll be in with a chance of the top prize.

This week, I chose from the range of images at Scrappers Delights called Lady Jane.

I printed the image several times and coloured with Promarkers and Flexmarkers. I layered the skirt for added depth. The background paper is from Paper Pizazz, and the flowers were punched and again, coloured with Promarkers.

I hope you can join us this week.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

One Stitch at a Time Challenge 215

This week at One Stitch at a Time, the challenge is 'boy-ish', and we're sponsored by:

This week, I got to choose from the fabulous selection of Delicious Doodles images and decided on one called 'Sunset at Sea'.

Isn't that a gorgeous image? And it gave me ample chance to use lots of glorious colours which is always a bonus as far as I'm concerned. It's not specifically 'boyish' but it's not 'girlish' either, and I'm going to send it to my son for his birthday.

The image is coloured with a mix of Promarkers and Flexmarkers. The background is one of those supplied with my version of Photoshop Elements, and I've finished off with some shaped seashells which came from a CD I've had for ages called the Crafty Image Emporium which is full of images which are no longer copyright protected. I used my flower-shaping tools to add to their texture, scoring on the right side with a narrow tool and then on the opposite side with a much wider one.

I hope you can join us this week.

Crafty Cardmakers Challenge 117

This time, our challenge is hosted by my team mate Elaine, and here theme is 'Flourishing'. So, include some flourishes on your project, but other than that, the theme can be whatever you wish.

Our sponsor this time is:

See the challenge blog for more details.

I was lucky enough to work with a pretty image from our sponsor called Daisy Fairy.

I chose the image because of the 'flourish-esque' effect of her pretty wings, and cut the image using a fancy Sizzix die. I coloured with Promarkers and used a little Distress Ink around the edge. The paper is from a CD called Flower Power which I bought some years ago and which has proved very useful. I finished the card with a couple of Sizzix flourishes and some daisies made from Susan's Garden die cuts and finished with a liquid pearl.

I hope you can join us this time.

This week, I worked with one of a set of images chosen by my team mate Nikki. The set is from Reeces's Scrap Pieces and features various modes of transport. I chose to work with the quad bike.

I coloured the image with Promarkers then cut it out. The background was created using one of the backgrounds supplied within my Photoshop Elements software. I added a sentiment which was also created in Elements.
