MyBesties - December Challenge

Hey Crafty Friends,

Welcome back, today I'm sharing a inspiration post for the Anything Goes challenge over on the Color it, Create it, Show it off blog. You can find all the details on how to enter here.

As always you can use any image by any company, its literally Anything Goes! 

However if you do fancy treating yourself to a new image you can do so here.

The image I am using today is from the MyBesties Patreon Club. If you want to take a look at joining you can find the different tiered options here.

Now that's all done let's get onto the inspiration! (Click any image to view it larger) All other product links can be found at the end of my post :)

As always starting with the image printed on alcohol marker friendly card and coloured her up using Spectrum Noir Tri-Blends.

Colour Combination:

Dress/Hat/Polka dots - Dark Red blend

Skin: Tan blend

Mug and Shoes - Gold Yellow blend

Eye - Green Turquoise blend

Hair - Burnt Orange blend

Keeping this card clean and simple for a quick assemble I took out a cuttlebug embossing folder with snowflakes and embossed into PaintOn card stock, using ink already left on a blending brush, Peacock Feathers distress ink to bring in a little colour over the embossed background.


I backed this onto Cherry on Top card stock by Heffy Doodle and used a MISTI to stamp on a sentiment from StampFairy Designs. In my stash of odds and ends I found some light blue/silver coloured buttons and added these for an extra touch.

This was a quick and simple card to put together, Clean and Simple isn't my usual style, I always find myself wanting to add more! I hope the recipient of this at Christmas will still enjoy this simple but effective look I feel this card has.

I do hope your able to join us over on the challenge, I can't wait to see what you come up with!

Until next time, happy crafting!

I then lay on top of the new  Winter Forest Backdrop Die TIP: As the backdrop die cuts a whole panel you need to line up and lay on top after cutting the 2 shadow box panels and partially die-cut each panel so we don't cut off our attachment tabs.

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 have

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
