MyBesties September Challenge - Anything goes!

 Hi Crafty Friends,

I'm excited today to be able to share with you my first post as a Design Team member for the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge for My Besties using Sherri Baldy digi stamps.

As always you will be able to find links at the end of my post on products used.

This months challenge is anything goes, this means anything! You are not limited to My Besties images, use any image from your favourite stamp company! However if you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all our images here. (Click any image to view it larger)

Here's my inspiration below!

Starting with my image printed on alcohol friendly cardstock I used mainly Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends to colour her up. 

Colour combination:

Main body - Pink Violet blend

Hair - Red Brown blend

Bows and Tights - Dusty Purple blend

Eyes, arms and ears - Gold Brown, Fair Skin & Blue Turquoise blends

Flowers - Light Green blend and BP1&3 (older range)

Slippers and Mug - Pale Pink blend

For my background I wanted to keep it quite simple as I think this cuddly coffee monster deserves the lime light on this card! Keeping the background one layered I reached for my Heffy Doodle stencil stash, using Mowed Lawn distress ink alongside the green fields stencil and Squeezed Lemonade, Victorian Velvet and Worn Lipstick with the cloudy skies stencil. I love how quick and easy these are to create a colourful one layered background! 

Mounted this on some coloured cardstock, then on to a A6 card panel and used some sentiments from the Lawn Fawn Monster Mash stamp set which I think matches this monster lady perfectly! 


As always I appreciate any comments you leave!

April Challenge - MyBesties

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, It's a new month so that means the start of a new challenge over on the Colour it, Create it, Show it off challenge blog, as always our challenge is anything goes, that's any image, any project. Why not grab you favourite set and join us  here. If you would like to treat yourself to a new image you can find all the MyBesties images  here. This will be a shorter post again today, it's a very simple card. I coloured the image in Spectrum Noir alcohol markers and fussy cut around her. Taking a card blank and used Kitsch flamingo distress ink to bring down some colour to about a quarter down the panel and fade out into the white to give a very soft look and feel. Using some trees branches, flowers and leaves from a couple sets in my stash and a birthday sentiment to top this off and bring it all together.  I cant wait to see what you come up with for the challenge! This card was sent to a fellow crafter on Instagram in a birthday swap, it gave me joy to ha...

Swan Galaxy - Interactive card!

Image
Hey Crafty Friends, Welcome back, I'm sharing my usual design team post for Crafty Purple Frog a few days early because I am so impatient and love this card so much that I wanted to share with you all at the earliest opportunity!  Today's card is very fitting, I usually make a card with someone in mind or themed around something I've seen. My idea for this came as soon as I saw the set 'Spread your wings' This beautiful swan has big regal wings that meant it deserved the opportunity to fly! To start up I took a scalloped slimline frame die and inked up a galaxy type background, now the thing to remember with creating a galaxy background is it might look like a hot mess to start with! A galaxy background can use any colours you feel are fitting, I'm using Wilted Violet, Mermaid Lagoon and Candied Apple. You can put some greens and pinks in too if you would like.  Take a blending tool, I'm using a blending brush and bring in random sections of colour using you...
