Crafting When We Can Challenges 128 - Use your favourite medium ((pens, pencils, paint etc)

Over at Crafting When We Can Challenges we have the lovely Sarah from

Star Stampz

For my project I chose Spring Rain I wanted to use bright colours to counteract the grey skies and storms we've had this week.  My favourite medium is my Spectrum Noir pens, I also used my fiskar cutter, which I use everytime I craft and my Tonic dies and punches.  All the paper and card are from my stash and because I hate to waste papers I've gutted the card you can't see and now have loads of gold and red name dies (First Edition dies from Hobbycraft Female and Male titles Mum, Dad, Sister etc)  The flowers are various punches and the leaves were cut on the scan'n'cut.

Looks better in person.  Photo makes it look washed out and flat

Hop over to CWWCC and leave us your projects using your favourite medium.

Crafting When We Can Challenges 35 - Favourite Things

The first Challenge of 2013 by Crafting When We Can is 

Favourite Things

and our Wonderful Sponsor is

Sassy Studio Designs

We were given the opportunity to choose our own image and I chose Bella Bride.  I don't have many bride images and I thought this one could be used for other things as I think she's beautiful and I hope I've done her justice.

My Favourite Things

I love to use card to make my base layer instead of a bought card base and this time I've used some linen effect I forgot I had.  I love to use the papers out of my 360 page K and Co paper pad.  I used my now worn Fiskar paper cutter to cut my mats and layers, the ink has just about worn off the base so I have to turn it the other way to use the measurements at the top.  I used my favourite Spellbinder label die (I have other dies but always seem to turn to this one.  Alcohol pens, Promarker & Copics.  In fact I think this is one of my favourite cards and I don't say that about many.  The plain space at the top is where my sentiment will go when I can find one I like
