Crafting When We Can Challenges 63 - Lots of Bling

We had lots of scrummy projects in our last Challenge. It really made your mouth water with all the wonderful food related projects.

This Challenge is all about the Bling. The more bling the better. We have a new wonderful Sponsor

ArtbyMiRan

We were allowed to choose the image we wanted to use and I chose

Brittany 1920's Flapper. I coloured her with spectrum noirs and a glitter gelly roll pen was used to highlight her headdress and shoes (this doesn't show on the photo). The base card is a magenta satin mirror card and a striped holographic silver card was used for the stripe and mat. The bling in the corners was from Home Bargains and the sentiment (With Love) is from Craftwork Cards.

To join in with our Lots of Bling challenge, hop over to the Challenge blog and enter your blinged up projects and we will be around to see your projects.

Crafting When We Can Challenges 62 - Food

For Challenge 62 we have a theme of

Food

and our wonderful Sponsor is

The Stamping Chef

For my image I used one I already had as I wanted to use my CraftArtist software to try something new but when I hopped over to The Stamping Chef shop I couldn't find it and site seems to have had a makeover, so I hope I have used the correct The Stamping Chef link.

I used Kiss the Cook image and I used my CraftArtist software to block and fill the png outline with colours and textures. I then used Afternoon Tea digikit to make my backgroud. I printed and cut out my Cook image and 3D it on to the front of the card. Just need to make up a foody sentiment. For the inside I used a Purple Ronnie verse. (the background seems to have printed out quite dark and wonky which I didn't notice when I photographed it).
