Crafting When We Can Challenges #28 - Sketch by Ang

Thanks to all those that joined us for the last Challenge, your work was wonderful.  

The Challenge this fortnight is a Sketch by Ang.

Our Sponsor is the wonderful 

Fresh Brewed Designs

The image I chose is Little Mushrooms in a Row.  I coloured it with Copics and Promarkers, the papers were from a big 360 page pad from K & Co and I dusted over them with Tea Dye Distressed ink to make them a little more vintage looking and bring the  papers together.  I used a Nellie die to cut the circle out and dusted this too.

To join in this challenge just hop over here and leave your wonderful creations with the little Blue Froggy.  I'm also sure the DT would love it if you left a little love for them too.  Everyone likes a little love.  BIG HUGS :-) xx

Crafting When We Can Challenges 23 - Monochrome

Another great Challenge over at Crafting When We Can Challenges this fortnight.  We are sponsored by 

Fresh Brewed Designs

The Winner will get to choose 3 images of their choice from the store.

My card was made from 12 x 12 card, from Craft Den, in various colours of blue. The dark blue was embossed using a sizzix texturz plate.  I coloured the image in Copics and Promarkers.  The edge of the border was cut using a Nellie Snellen edge die.  The heart brads are from my stash as are the crystal letters and stones

Hop over to CWWCC and let's see your version of monochrome.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #11 - Valentine/Love

Once again all the entries were wonderful and I'm sure the DT member who has to choose the winner and top 3 will have a very difficult time.

This week we have been sponsored by the lovely Heather at 

Fresh Brewed Designs

The Winner will receive

3 images of their choice

from Fresh Brewed Designs

Heather gave us some images to use for this challenge but I really loved the previous image Heather gave us I've made 2 cards.

The card below was coloured with my Flex Markers and the mat was cut on my CraftRobo.  It was a design I made my self and I'm really pleased with it.  The plaque is a  Nellie die and the stamps I've had for years from QVC (a big wooden box of about 30 wood mounted stamps)

On this next card the lips are cut from my CraftRobo, so is the Dipped Strawberry. the design from FBD.  I took the image into the Robo software and made it into a cutting design (I hope this is OK with Heather).  I used some Anita's 3D clear gloss on the brown bit to make it look like shiny chocolate (but you can't see that on the picture) and I hand wrote the Mmmmmmm... (as if you couldn't tell). I also designed the fingers to hold the strawberry, as you can tell art really isn't my forte and the creases and fingernail could do with improving but for 11:30pm I don't think it looks bad.  I used Promarkers and Copics along with Tattered Rose DI.

Now all you have to do is hop over to the Challenge blog and enter your projects.

Due to unforseen circumstances the DT cards will be put on to the challenge page as and when they are received so there may only be a few when you visit.

CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN CHALLENGE #1 - ANYTHING GOES

I hope you are all as excited as I am about our new challenge.  To make it nice and easy for the first challenge we are having an "Anything Goes" so I hope you will all hop over and link up your card.  

CRAFTING WHEN WE CAN CHALLENGE #1

We have 10 DT members 5 from the Creative Cowgirl Challenge and 5 new members and if you click here you can go the the page where all their blogs are listed. If you have time, sit with a coffee and explore the fantastic work they do.

This challenge we were given a fantastic image to use by our Sponsor

FRESH BREW DESIGNS

My image is called 'Hot Date' and I loved colouring this image in.

I printed the Fresh Brewed Design image, sentiment and background (from the Daisytrail digikit Modern Lace) using my Craftartist software (told you I love this software).  I then coloured the image with my copics.  I tried my best to use shading and I think it worked really well I love the way the greys have blended and the shaping I got on the bodice of the red dress (I hope the designer doesn't mind her image having boobs).  I designed this card with the intention of it being flat so it would be cheap to post and then forgot and put dewdrops on the corners.  I may take these off and swap for card candy which would be flatter.

I will be posting more now I have some incentive to craft, I have already made quite a few cards for a car boot sale my daughters Musical Group is having and I have already coloured the image for the next Crafting when we can challenge.  My OH has thrown out a load of stuff he didn't need and cleared me some space in the bedroom so I can have my Craftrobo and Big Shot out so I don't have to keep reaching on top of the bookcase to    get them down.  

Hopefully by the time you are reading this we will be at the cinema watching 'monkeys in trousers' for some reason my kids really want to see 'Rising of the Planet of the Apes'.
