Crafting When We Can Challenges 59 - Calendar/Countdown

The Challenge over at Crafting When We Can Challenges is running until

4th January 2014

So you have plenty of time to show us your Calendars/Countdown projects.

Our wonderful Sponsor for this Challenge is

Dilly Beans Stamps

My project is a Christmas Countdown. I printed out my image

#313 - Christmas Squares twice and colour with Spectrum Noir pens, used Viva pearl pen to fill in Santa's beard, hair etc. and Sparkly Gelly roll pens to add sparkle to the glove. I can't find my clear glitter pen so the penguin is sparkly (yet). I then cut out the image and 3d'd the image onto the cut out frame and made the 1 - 24 number grid in CraftArtist printed this out and stuck on the images.

Hop over and leave your Calendar/Countdown projects on the Challenge blog and have a look at the projects our wonderfully talented DT have made.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #32 - Fairytales

This challenge we are sponsored by

Saturated Canary

Krista is giving away 2 images, to the Winner, from her wonderful store. Krista was kind enough to let us choose our image for this challenge and I chose Pearl because I wanted to do The Little Mermaid (yes I went with the Disney version but I do love her hair).

I coloured my image with Distressed Inks and used a spellbinder die to cut it out as well as some swirls. The ribbon is from Craft Den and the papers are from a 360 page pad by K and Co. I never thought I would use paper but as soon as I saw this image I knew it would work. The pearls were made with a Viva Pearl Pen and it only took me 2 goes to get it right. The first lot I made I put my hand in, as usual but the second lot I managed to let dry without incident. I also put some glaze drops in her hair.

Crafting When We Can Challenges #19 - Fashion and Pearls

Once again life caught up with me along with the nasty no get up and go bug so I didn't get my second card done for the last challenge. I still have the idea in my head so it may appear one day.

Now onto Challenge 19, Fashion and Pearls. Our fab Sponsor for this Challenge is

Digi Doodle Shop

We were given some wonderful images to use and I chose this one because I could see in my mind something I would like to try. The backing paper is K & Company Best of 12x12 360 designer Papers. I really like all these papers and they pop up on my cards alot. The white circle has been embossed with a Sizzix Texturz plate. I've had these plates for about 3 years and never used them, I always forget but I cut the circle by hand and thought embossing would hid the rubbish edges. The image was coloured with Promarkers and the pearls were made with a Viva pearl pen (and I didn't put my fingers in it before it set, yeah me!). Flowers are old Woodware ones and the ribbon was from Craft Den. I used a MS border punch to make the lace on the edge of my card and highlighted it with a little Promarker, the senitment is from Craftwork Cards.
