Flower Elf

Good morning, how are you all?  We start a lovely new challenge over at Crafting From The Heart today.  

Challenge 217 is sponsored by

Fabrika Fantasy

I have used a digi image called 'Flower Elf' which I coloured in using a mixture of graphmaster and copic sketch markers.

I have made a 8x8 white card blank and layered it first with a piece of white card pricked around the edged and then another piece of white card which I have embossed using a leaf A4 embossing folder from Sheena.  I also inked around the edges with distress ink - cracked pistachio.

The frame I die cut using Sue Wilson's double pierced round noble dies.  My flowers are stamped with cracked pistachio distress ink and the stamp I have used is a set of peony stamps from Creative Expressions.  The die cut leaves also Sue Wilson's of which I cut four, left two white and inked through the other two.  I then finished it and the flowers off with Tonic Nuvo pearl drops - Caribbean Ocean.

Along with the digi stamp I also received a coloured in version which I have taken into my Serif Craft Artist programme and designed the below with one of my digi kits.

Our design team have used more images from our sponsor and to see what they have designed why not follow the link HERE to the blog where you can also enter your own project.  Our theme is Always Anything Goes.

Thank you for visiting today and I do hope to see you again soon.

Take care.

Coffee & Friends

Good morning all we have a new challenge beginning at Crafting from the Heart.

Our sponsor is

DRS Designs

I have used a sentiment from our sponsor called 'Coffee & Friends Greeting'.

I actually started with a background.  I had been having an afternoon of playing. This background made using a stencil from Clarity with Creative Expressions clear texture paste and then the new Cosmic Shimmer Shimmer Shakers - dusky mink and delicate blossom.

I made the flowers using a stamp from Honey Doo Crafts called Spring Time Blooms which I stamped onto vellum using white white embossing powder also from Honey Doo.  I then inked the back with colour cloud - Frosted Blossom.  The leaves are the new dies from John Next Door which have been inked using Frosted Mink colour cloud.

Again I have only used white card. One of the layers I inked around the edges with Frosted Blossom colour cloud.  The frame was die cut using one of Sue Wilsons Noble Square Pierced Dies and embossed.

Wildflowers

Good morning all.  Hope you all had a good weekend.

We have a new challenge starting at Crafting from the Heart today.

Our sponsor is

Beccys Place

I have used a digi stamp from our sponsor called 'Wildflowers' which I coloured in using spectrum noir pencils.  

I decided to keep my card clean and simple so I used a vase stamp from Creative Expressions which I stamped using black versafine, clear embossed it and fussy cut it out.  The sentiment was also from a sentiment set by Creative Expressions.

The card is a 5x7 blank with them matting and layering being die cut using Spellbinders 5x7 set A & B layering dies.  I also used black colour cloud to ink around the edges of one of the mats.
