Craft Roulette - Episode #130

Hey Crafty Friends,

Today I'm bringing you a little something different. If you haven't heard of Craft Roulette then I highly recommend you check it out. 

Craft Roulette is the ultimate crafting challenge, every Friday night a wheel spins for 4 parameters in which you need to make a card from. You don't need any special kit or stamps etc you use purely what you have in your stash. 
This is a great way to stretch your supplies and think of new ways to use your stash!

And on another plus if that didn't already sound like lots of funn is there is prizes to be won each week from the spin sponsors!

This is my 4th week of playing along and I thought I would bring you the details of my card this week on a blog post. 



Parameters this week were as follows:

Fun Fold

Dusty Hue colours

Starts with D

Pennants 

I'm not going to lie 2 of these Parameters scared me this week, I'm not ashamed to say I had to Google what a pennant was LOL and Dusty Hue colours are really not my thing, I always reach for brighter more solid colours so I was really thrown by these 2 elements. That's the good thing about this show, it stretches the brain!

I started with stamping some images on alcohol marker friendsly card stock from various stamp sets using the parameter 'starts with D' and stamped some Dogs and Deer along with a squirrel, bird and bone image from some sets and coloured them using more muted tones.

All images were coloured in Copic markers 

Colour combo:

Birch Trees: W7, W5, W3, W2, W1

Deer: E37, E35, E33, E31

Dogs: C5, C3, C1

Postbox: BV04, BV02, BV00

Parcel: RV95, RV91

Squirrel: E09, E07, E04

Next I started working on the fun fold parameter and decided to go with a side step card for some dimension for my images and trees. I've cut this from some oyster shell card stock.

You can find lots of cutting instructions online for this side step card which is what I did. Lots of inspiration on Pinterest.

Ink up the areas that are on show when folded with a green ink, Im using Sage Catherine Pooler Ink, this just helps to give some extra muted colour to the scene.

To finish up I have taken the pennant banner from a hot air balloon die and die cut from white card stock, I die cut it 4 times, this is so I could layer them to create some thickness for sturdiness as I am only sticking it down on each end. I used the same copic colours to give the banner a light colour and added the word 'friend' with a black memento ink pen.

Some parameters might seem scary but never fear, with each show you have the amazing host Mary Gunn Funn and a guest crafter. Each parameter is discussed and lots of ideas are thrown around to help you use your stash in lots of new ways!

I do hope you will come join the funn over at craftroulette.live

You can find all the details about the show and this ultimate challenge on the link above.

Until next time, happy crafting!

April Challenge - MyBesties

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
