Flower Power-Crafting at the Weekend Challenge 6

Good morning everyone, hope you are all well and about to enjoy a brilliant weekend.  

Well my first week back to work after a weeks hols and I do wonder whether it was worth it, because I have been in major catch up.  Phew glad I only work 3 days a week. 

Of course it was worth it and I did enjoy the break.  We went on a fishing week mainly for my dear hubby, so while he was catching loads of fish I enjoyed loads of knitting and relaxing.

Now onto a new challenge which is starting over at Crafting at the Weekend.  It starts to today and our sponsors are: -

 My Shopping List

 

QKR digi stamp - girl friends

Copic markers

8x8 base white card

yellow card and white card

patchwork embossing folder

spellbinders d-lites flowers

sue wilson leaves

 

1. I began with an 8x8 base white card and mat of yellow card
2. I then cut another mat of white card and pricked around the edges in true sue wilson style followed by another piece of yellow card which I embossed using a patchwork embossing folder which I think was an A4 embossilicious one.
3. The lattice framt shape was cut on 'Bob' my brother scan n cut, as was the mat shapes my image is sitting on.  My image was also cut by 'Bob' using the direct to cut facility.
4. I coloured my image in using copic markers but I haven't listed them because as you can image from the colours there were quite a lot.  The best thing about colouring in this image was the fact I could let loose on colours for some fun.
5. I then die cut my flowers and leaves.
6. I can't remember where the sentiment came from, I have a feeling it was from one of my serif craft artist digi kit.

Butterfly Border -Stitchy Bears

 

 

Good morning crafters and followers.  There is a super new challenge over at My Craft Creatoins run by my crafting chum Sheila.  The challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and this months sponsor is

 

Stitchy Bears Stamps



 

 My first sample for this challenge is a project I have created in Serif Craft Artist to show the versatility of digi stamps.

I have created my own digi kit using backing papers and a Butterfly Border digi stamp.  I took all three images into serif craft artist, then placed then created my own backing papers and materials by just dragging and dropping the backing papers into the background section and materials section.

I dropped my backing paper into place and then imported my PNG butterfly border which I promptly dropped into my frame section.  I then imported my photograph and dropped that into my butterfly border which has now become an intelligent frame.

Next to dropped my green backing paper onto my work space, found my flower punch and punched various flowers in various shapes and positioned them.  The gem was from one of my serif digi kits.  Once I have positioned my gems and resized them I group each flower and gem then placed a shadow on so they jump off the page.

I did exactly the same with the border which is a punch within the programme.

The sentiment is from the B2SPets digikit.

Do pop over to the challenge and enter there are some super prizes.

Thanks for stopping by and you take care, until next time.
