Crafting When We Can Challenges 132 - Circles

I forgot to post my card for this challenge so better late than never. You still have until Saturday afternoon to enter your circle inspired projects. It can contain 1 or more circles as long as we can see a circle.

Our wonderful sponsor for this challenge is the talented Caitlyn Crosfield of

Devil Cait Designs

Caitlyn very generously gave us images to use and I chose Tracy. I really enjoyed working with this image I think I would like to use it to practice my colouring. I love her hair. I cut a circle stencil on the scan'n'cut and use distressed inks to colour through. I then made a mat with circles surrounding it and welded it together. The ribbon threaded through was from some chocolates last Christmas and the stamped sentiment is one of my first stamps. This was stamped onto one of the circles cut from the stencil. The image was coloured with Spectrum Noir pens.

Hop over the the Challenge and show us your project including a circle or circles.

To start with I created a frame of cupcakes to go around my image using the SVG function in CraftArtist and the Scan'n'Cut to cut the file. I then added an offset to mat the cupcakes using Create and Craft glitter card. The background papers are from a CWVC paper pad. The image and cupcakes were coloured using Spectrum noir pens. The image is It's my birthday. The sentiment is one from the scan'n'cut on board library.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #122 - Any occasion

It's been a long time since I played with paper, I've been sat in front of a sewing machine for weeks making 3 dress for saloon girls in HGMTG production of Calamity Jane. Here is a badly cut out picture of the dress. As the girls playing the chorus were under 18 I'm not allowed to show them on the internet and as usual I forgot to take any pictures. The dress was cobbled together from a top pattern and a round skirt, all 12 feet of it, the same for an underskirt and net skirt and frills sewn to the inside so when the girls picked the front up to do their dance the frills moved. Don't worry to preserve modesty of the girls they wore big white bloomers under the dress. Needless to say I really needed my Pilates on Wednesday to help with a aching back and shoulders.

Anyhoo on to the reason for my post. The challenge over at CWWCC is Any occasion, I made a birthday card with an image, Adriana's Owl kindly provided by the wonderful sponsor Karleigh Sue Digi Store. I really enjoyed making this card as it was my first for about 2 months. I used my Brother Scan 'n' Cut and scraps of card from my stash. The image was coloured with Promarkers and Copic pens. The sparkles in the flowers are Tonic Nuvo glitter drops and in the spots on the head scarf I used Crafters Companion glitter pens.
