Crafting When We Can Challenges 104 - At the cinema

Over on Crafting When We Can Challenges we have the wonderful Amanda as our sponsor from

Faery Ink 

Winner prize:  3 images from store

Theme:  At the cinema

inspired by a film, song from film, quote

use your imagination

We were kindly given images to use and my image is Autumn Rose Boots and Bows.  As soon as I saw this image I thought of "Bridget Jones".  I really like the films and I think the Tonic sentiment "live the life you imagined" would be perfect for this image.  I used Tonic die Live the life you imagined and numbers from the tonic squeeze box and the Die'sire Happy Birthday die.  I coloured the shadow with my Spectrum Noir pens and also the image.  The backing paper was from Craftartist with a few more flowers added by me and embossed with a sizzix texturz plate.  The butterfly is a X-cut 3D die glittered by me. 

Now you've seen my creation hop over to the challenge and show us your wonderful creations.

Challenge 99 - Sketch by Ang

We are half way through our challenge at CWWCC.  It is a wonderful sketch by Ang.  At first look I thought it was going to be a difficult sketch but it isn't.  I loved working with the sketch and will use it again in the future.  I hope you have a go at using the sketch it will really suit any theme.  

Our wonderful sponsor for challenge 99 is

Inky Impressions

Theme - Sketch by Ang

We were given images to use but I had one from an earlier challenge that I didn't manage to use.  It is a pretty image called Fairy Sitting on Clothespin.  I used my spectrum noir pencils to colour it and Tonic layering dies to cut the circle.  The designer papers are from a K & Co paper pad and gold mirri card is from my stash.  

Hop over to the CWWC and show us your projects using Ang's wonderful sketch.

Your colour combo project from the last challenge have given me plenty of inspiration to try different colours together.  For this challenge over at CWWCC we have the wonderfully talented Sherry from 

A Random Fan

Theme:  Summer Fun

We were given images to use and I chose Hanging on.  As soon as I saw it I knew what I wanted to do with it. I used Craftartist to design my card with a digikit CS Country Garden make my background and print out my image.  I also printed out some layers for the tree so I could decoupage it to create dimension.  I coloured my image using Spectrum Noir Pencils then fussy cut the image.  I layered up all my pieces using 3d foam pads and voilà a hybrid craft card.  I think this photo shows you all the dimension that was created.

For this challenge we have the fabulous 

ArtbyMiRan

The prize is 3 images from the store.

Theme:  Favourite colour combo

For my card I chose Dreaming of Spring.  I really love this image, the way Mi Ran have drawn her staring off into the distance.  I don't think I have a favourite colour combo but I seem to be drawn towards purple & green when I make my cards so this is the colour combo I chose.  I also included a blue to match the sky in my image.  The papers are from my stash, bought over the years.  I coloured the image with spectrum noir pencils. The butterfly was cut using a tonic die and the sentiment is from Crafters Companion.  The card background is from a digikit in CraftArtist.  Pearls from The Works.

I hope my card has given you some inspiration and if you want to leave your favourite colour combo project on the challenge you may be in with a chance of winning the fabulous prize.  Hop over and leave some love to my team mates.

Challenge 96 - Paper piecing

I'm just been finishing off outfits for the next production of High Green Musical Theatre Group, it's Little Shop of Horrors.  If you are in the Ecclesfield area of Sheffield next week come along and watch a fabulous show.

Blatant advertising over I have really enjoyed paper piecing.  It's the first time that I remember trying it.  To make it easy for myself I made my image big and Lucy has just the same expression my daughter had when I told her she would have to do some chores around the house when she is on holiday.  

She's made herself a star chart for when she does things so I've made her a basic chore chart using the wonderful image from our fabulous sponsor

Oddball Art Co

Prize:  3 images of choice from the store

I used CraftArtist to make a grid and filled it in with basic instructions.  I then printed it out after I put in the image to the size I wanted.  Once I had printed this I used material from several kits to print the images onto.  Spectrum noir pencils were used to colour the pieces I wasn't going to piece.  I used a paper for her hair, dungarees and scarf and shoes. 

Hop over the the CWWCC and see the wonderful projects our fabulous DT have created and while you are there leave us your awesome projects to look at and if you've followed the rules you may be in with a chance to win our wonderful prize.
