Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with a twist of Pink

Morning all, 

How's everyone doing? anyone else wishes for some warmer weather? The sun may have shone this week but it was far from warm here. 

This weeks challenge at Crafty Catz is, as always, Anything Goes but the added and optional twist this week is to use Pink

We are sponsored this week by Polkadoodles and they are offering our lucky winner a $15 voucher

This sweet image was coloured with promarkers in Cool Grey 3, Warm Grey 3, Lime Green, Blossom, Dusky Rose, Dusky Pink and Pastel Pink and accented with Whisper pens. The paper was Mix and Match Garden Roses and Garden Flowers die-cuts and the sentiment is from a really old pad of paper that was free with a magazine. 

Anyway, I hope you like the card and until next time - happy crafting! 

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with the twist of Mainly Green

So this weeks theme is - as always - anything goes, but this weeks twist is to keep the card mostly green. We are sponsored this week by Di's Digi's and our lucky winner will recieve a $12 voucher

My image this week is from Dustin Pike and I kept it CAS as it was a note card

The image is coloured with promarkers in Spice, Apricot, Mustard, Canary, Cool Aqua, Apple, Meadow Green and Pear Green. The sentiment is computer generated. The papers are Bo Bunny Back to Basics - Snow Day Stripe and some scrap spotty card. A couple of gems finishes the design.

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with Thoughts of Spring

Morning all! 

What a week! anyone else had one of those groundhog day type weeks were everything goes wrong and then seems to repeat itself every day for the whole week?! that was mine. 

Oh well.  It's Friday, so that means a new challenge over at Crafty Catz. This weeks theme is Anything Goes with the twist of Thoughts of Spring. 

We are sponsored this week by the lovely team at Bugaboo who are offering our lucky winner 4 images of their choice. 

Bugaboo do a fabulous range of images which make it so easy to run up an elegant card easily and quickly. I layered this little image on the petals and the image is coloured in Promarkers in Pastel Yellow, Buttercup, Mustard, Canary, Lime Zest, Lime Green, Saffron, Almond, Cool Aqua, Duck Egg, Pumpkin and Ruby. 

The image is layered on a scrap of spotty orange paper and there you have it, clean and sensible. 

Hope you like it. Until next time, happy crafting! 

Anything Goes with the twist of Occupations

Good Morning,

Did you all get lots of lovely Valentine treats this week or where you like me, single and utterly fed up of the love fest on facebook?

Whatever the start of the week brought you, let the end be a new challenge at Crafty Catz. Our theme this week is Anything Goes with a twist of Occupations. Our sponsor this week is Kenny K and the winner gets 5 images from the shop.

My image this week is Chef

I coloured the image with promarkers in Blush, Ivory, Gold, Cool Grey 1 and 3 and finished the image with my Whisper brush markers. I used scraps of spotty paper and Bo Bunny's Recipe Card 12x12 to create my card and finished with pearls from stash

Hope you like the card and the challenge. Until next time, happy crafting! 

Anything Goes with the twist of 3 Designer Papers

Morning all

Here's to the end of another week and a brand new challenge over at Crafty Catz. This weeks challenge is Anything Goes with the added twist, if you want to play along, of 3 Designer Papers

We are sponsored this week by Lacy Sunshine and they are kindly offering our winner 3 images from the shop 

The image I have used this week is called Victorian Lizabeth

The image was coloured with promarkers in Dusky Rose, Apricot, Terracotta, Oatmeal, Blush, Pear Green and Pastel Pink and I twinned this up with my Whisper Brush Markers. The papers are from Bo Bunny and Basic Grey - Constellation. I used Distress Ink Victorian Velvet and the pearls are from stash.

That's everything so I hope you like it. Until next time though, happy crafting!

Anything Goes with the Twitst of a Male Card - Wish Big

Morning all and welcome to the new challenge for Crafty Catz. 

So this weeks theme is - as always - anything goes, but to compliment last weeks challenge, we've got the added twist of a Male Card. We are sponsored this week by Rick St Dennis and the lucky winner will get 3 images of their choice

Now, I made a card with an image we we're kindly donated and I stupidly tried to photograph it late on Tuesday night after I got back from a huge event at work - needless to say, fatigue, photography and a cup of tea are a bad combination and I ruined the card before I managed to snap a pic. 

So instead I'm afraid I've only got a really simple card I made for my Dad's birthday to share with you instead.

The card uses up lots of scraps of paper and card and the edges were inked using Distress Inks in Festive Berries, Wild Honey, Evergreen Bough, Pumice Stone and Vintage Photo. I used some ribbon from stash to bring it all together.

CAS and quick to make. Hope you like it and apologies again for the lack of sponsor card. Anyway, until next time, happy crafting
