Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with Make Your Own Flowers

Morning all,

Here's to another Friday! Before we go any further, my apologies to anyone who got a late visit from me for last weeks challenge, I was away on a 3 day conference at the start of the week and the internet in the hotel was none existent so I couldn't check in with anyone until last night after work. That being said, your creations were all well worth waiting to see. 

Onto this weeks challenge which is, as ever, Anything Goes with the optional added twist of Make Your Own Flowers. We are sponsored this week by Sasayaki Glitter who are offering our lucky winner 1 image of their choice. 

The image was coloured with various Whisper pens this week and the papers are all odd scraps I had lying around. The leaves are Cuttlebug Die and the flowers are made using Woodware Punches, embossed with Floral Swirl Cuttlebug embossing folder and coloured up with a range of Tim Holtz Inks. The design was finished with some pearls.

That's it for this week. Until next time - Happy Crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with 2 or More Layers

Morning all, 

Here's to a new challenge at Crafty Catz. This weeks theme of Anything Goes has the optional twist of 2 or more layers. We are sponsored by Lacy Sunshine who are offering our winner 3 images of their choice

I think everyone on the DT fell in love with this gorgeous image. I coloured her with promarkers in Blush, Pastel Pink, Gold, Red, Ruby, Burgundy, Sandstone, Terracotta, Cinnamon and Spice. I highlighted everything with my whisper pens and used my white gel pen to pick out the centre of the flowers. 

I used red card and spotty paper to accent the design and woodware punches for the flowers and leaves. I edged the picture with Vintage Photo and darkened the paper for the flowers and leaves with Festive Berries and Pine Needles. 

Think that's it this week. Hope you like it - don't forget to swing by the other girls blogs to see their cards. Until next time, happy crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with twist of CAS

Good Morning and welcome to another Friday Challenge at Crafty Catz. 

This week's challenge is, as always, Anything Goes but our optional twist is Clean and Simple - we are sponsored this week by Digital Papercraft who are offering our winner 3 images from their shop

My card this week features heat embossing and watercolours. I've always loved messing with watercolours but rarely do I mix the medias and use it on a card, but I thought it would make a really nice change to use my Stamping Up flowers to make a floral design for mother's day. I used a really old stamp for the sentiment (so old the label has come off and I have no idea who made it) and matted everything onto hammered cream and blue card stock from paperbox.

I hope you like the final effect. 

Until next time, happy crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with the Twist of Numbers

Morning all

Well I hope you all had an egg-celent easter weekend! (sorry bad puns end here) and for those of you back at work, the week hasn't been too bad. I always find that the days after a long weekend seem harder. 

Anyway, this weeks challenge is, as always, Anything Goes with the optional twist of including a number in the design. We are sponsored this week is Melon Headz  who are offering our lucky winner 1 bundle pack of their choice from the shop

The image is coloured in the following promarkers - Blush, Lime Zest, Lime Green, Gold, Red, Blue Pearl, Sky Blue, Duck Egg, Apricot, Spice and Honeycomb. 

The papers are from stash and the sentiment is computer generated. The numbers were stamped using Tim Holtz mini distress inks and cut out with a rangers die 

That's it for this week. Hope you all like the card. Until next time, happy crafting
