TSC KittyPawVultura

The Stamping Chef vs. Simply Betty Stamps Roller Derby    

 

At  The Stamping Chef  the challenge was to use

The Kitty Paw Vultura image, 

The recipe was: 1 ribbon, 2 buttons 3 pieces of background paper

 

When I first saw this I wasn't too sure of what colours to use,

 it is not the sort of image I tend to use, but I was determined to give it ago.

 

I coloured the image using the following colours:

Clothing: Purple Amethyst & Orchid,

Leaf green and  Lime green

Hair: Tan, Gold, Pastel yellow & Buttercup

Skin: Vanilla,  Almond and satin

Helmet: Black, cool grey 5 & 6

 

I then mounted the image onto a piece of purple paper.

The card itself is a sheet of matching purple card that had been embossed

with a  "tyre track" spellbinders embossing folder.

 

I cut out green and black paper

using the tonic elegant vine square.

 

I matted the green die cut onto the black die cut and added the image.

I then placed the word ribbon across the bottom, before adding the "topper" 

the final touch was the buttons.

 

 

I finished this one really late and was not able to find any
 other challenges to enter this into, but
I hope you like my creation and will stop by again soon

 

 

 

 

lacy sunshine @ christmas

For Through the purple haze Challenge

This weeks
  theme was Bingo using Lacy sunshine images

For the bingo element , we had to choose three items in a row, 

I choose bling (glitter) , die cuts and an stamped image.

My image was a of Lacy sunshine sat on a cup cake
At first  I wasn't sure what colours to use,  and so many of us crafters
start to make Christmas cards this time of year,
 so I decided to turn it into a Christmas card.  

I started off colouring in the image
So the I searched through my pro-markers to find some
red and greens for the dress and tights.
next I looked for  some browns
for the cupcake wrapper
and a yellow shade for her hair.
To bling it up and added some glitter on the fairy's wings
 and the cupcake topping.

For the poinsettia, I used a tonic die set (that included the card) ,
I shaped each leaf and glued together using pinflair glue

I then took a sheet of A4 white card and  embossed through
my ebosser using my holiday holly embossing folder
I then folded it in half to make the card base.

The image needed a mat to mount it on the card base,
so to compliment the green used on the image,
 I die cut a mat and a sentiment from dark green card

    Well that's one Christmas card done.... .

Chocolate Bars

A friend was asking about doing something different

for a children's party - for they to take home

I suggested she do something like this in the theme

of the party and then put a message on the back to

stick the wrapper together.

  

I took a wrapper off of one of the bars of chocolate,

I then  the used this as a template, and to judge the size I need to print it off

Then created the labels  including the image on my PC

 

I then printed them all off, cut them out and wrapped around the chocolate bars

If they are to be given away at a party

a message could be stuck on the back

 

I wish to enter this into the following challenges

http://stampinfortheweekend.blogspot.co.uk/  shape it up

and   Alys Crafty challenges (on facebook)  Anything but a Card

  

Scarlett Hunger

I started off with the full image, and coloured it in Purple and black.  

 I felt it was better framed,  so die cut various frames
 using my spellbinder dies

I then added a sheet of black and white paper to one side of the
front of an A5 card blank.

To finish it off I added a shoe die

Hope you like it

Crafty Sentiments...

The through the purple haze challenge
with  Crafty Sentiments

I have coloured "Kay - thinking of you image" with pro-markers
 (cyan, satin and oatmeal) 

This is the first time I have used pro-makers
 or coloured in an image come to that !!
 

  I die cut the coloured image out of the white paper with a scalloped circle
die, and cut a piece of turquoise paper using the next size up

  Then I used distress edges die to cut the rectangular mat,
and mounted both to a pale blue card base.

The silver dies are a  fanciful flourish  (Cheery Lynn),
 I cut two, one I put onto the rectangular mat
and  added a brown and blue paper flower with a white brad,
and used part of the second one to go with the white flower,
which I added a blue brad to.

The last thing was a ticket sentiment 
which was also coloured with cyan.
