Crafting When We Can Challenge 54 - Sketch

The challenge this fortnight over at CWWCC is a sketch by me. I have to apologies for the colours I used I was in a very clashy mood when I designed it.

Our Sponsor for this challenge is

Dr Digi's House of Stamps

and our Theme is a Sketch by me.

I used the image Run Derek Run and I've tried to make an inspirational card for a change. I hope I've achieved this but I'm not sure. I used card and paper from pads I bought for £1.99 each from Lidl. The card is 270gsm and there are 25 sheets and the paper is 135gsm and there are 50 sheets 2 of each colour. The colours are bright and eye catching and I used the TH wall embossing folder twice and ripped a hole in the front one. A piece of old shoelace is used for the embellishment.

hopefully the shoelace bow isn't girly

(hopefully) something inspirational inside

I'm trying to show the dimension on the card

Now it's your turn to show us your projects following the sketch. CWWCC

Crafting When We Can Challenges 48 - Christmas in July

For the Challenge over at Crafting When We Can Challenges we have gone all Christmassy for the Christmas in July theme.

Our Sponsor is

Dr Digi's House of Stamps

The image I have used is We Three Kings. I pulled the image into CraftArtist and printed it out on at A6 size. I then coloured it using Copic Markers and Promarkers. Then I scanned the coloured image on to the computer. I used the Winter Wonderland digi kit to form my background, inside and back of the card and layered the coloured image onto the scene and sized it how I wanted. I then printed out both sides of the card and folded in half. For the verse inside I've used the colloquial version of We Three Kings, this involves a taxi, car and scooter bipping its hooter

Unfortunately I managed to put the paper in wonky and had to trim the card square so it turned out a little smaller than the 6" square card I was hoping for. I photographed the card but as usual the photo was rubbish so I will show you the exported jpegs from CraftArtist.

Crafting When We Can Challenges 41 - Name That Tune

The Challenge for this fortnight was a fun one to do. As soon as I saw this image in the sponsors shop I knew what song I wanted to do. We have a new sponsor for this challenge

Theme

Name That Tune

Image: Run Derek Run

For my card this week I used one of my shaped cards (I never use these but this is how much I looked forward to this challenge). I made my own backing paper using a background from CraftArtist (Butterfly Elegance ) and an image from My Craft Sudio. The backing paper was a bit of a pain to cut out which is why it just does fit quite right around the edge but as this card will eventually be received by my from my OH it doesn't really matter (yes I have to sort out my own cards and presents or I don't get them, usually sometime he really surprises me). Nest time I will draw around the card and cut the paper on my Craftrobo, so it will hopefully fit better. I coloured my image using Promarkers and Copics, matted it and my message onto blue card, popped up on 3d foam. I added 3 buttons, trying to keep with the colours green, orange and yellow, used blue and white twine in the middle of each. All the edges were coloured with Ocean Spray DI.
