Crafting When We Can Challenges #42 - At the Movies.

The Challenge over at CWWCC is At the Movies. Sara from Sassy Studio Designs let us choose our own image for this challenge. I chose Mistress of the Night. I love the Elvira movie Mistress of the Dark, I think it's really funny.

The backing papers are from Creative Cottage and the shape is from CraftArtist. The spider is from a digikit Halloween 2011 (a free kit I do believe). The sentiment was cut out with a spellbinder die. The image was coloured using copic markers, the bling was from Poundland. Card from stash.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #40 = Sketch by Ang

I can't believe how time flies. It doesn't seem like 2 minutes since I was writing my last Challenge post. The quality of work from our DT is awesome and if you haven't hopped over to the Challenge you should even if it's just to see their work.

This Challenge our sponsor is the talented Heather from

Lacy Sunshine

We were given our choice of images from the Lacy Sunshine shop and I chose

Lizabeth with Butterfly Kisses

The theme for this Challenge is a sketch by Ang

My base card is a linen effect white card with the papers from a Craftworks Cards Vintage Rose paper pack. I coloured my image using the mica paints from The Works. The bling is from Poundland and the charm is off a mobile phone charm that I used to have on my Glitter Girl ball tool. The Sentiment if from a sheet of various sentiment but I don't know the manufacturer.

I nearly had a mishap with this card. I made the design up on the base layer of paper then went to stick the paper on the base card when I realised the paper was too big to go on the card DUH!. I was very lucky that I had enough room to cut away a border from the top and right side so it would fit. Moral of the story is to always make sure your base layer fits the base card you are using. I don't know why I decided to make up the design before I stuck my base layer to the card as it makes it very difficult to stick it to the base card using double sided tape. I think I'm still tired (that's my excuse).

Crafting When We Can Challenges 20 - Mint Choc Chip (mint green & brown)

This Challenge we are doing a colour combo the only problem is everyone has a different idea of what mint is, we all know it's green but what green. Ice-cream tends to be a pale green but the mint plant in my garden if quite a dark green and the mint jelly from the jar is very dark green. So I chose a green I thought was a minty colour and used that.

Our sponsor for this Challenge is Kenny K Downloads and we were kindly given a choice of the images from the store. My daughter chose Brianna Blaster. As Kenny's images are so detailed I decided to print the image A5ish and colour it in and then scan the image into my computer and size it up and print out 4 copies. I used all the images to layer up my image. The mats are are cut from Tim Holtz dies and the tag was cut from a piece of 12 x12 double sided paper but I don't know the name (the tag is the same paper of the mat but using the other side). The black swirls are pieces of borders from Poundland and the ribbon is from Craft Den coloured with an Anna Griffin Chocolate ink.
