Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with Twist of Stripes and Spots

Morning all

It's Friday again. Feel like its been a long week here. Don't know why but I'm glad we're almost at the weekend. 

Our theme this week is, as always, Anything Goes with the ever optional twist  of adding Spots and Stripes. We are sponsored this week by Kenny K designs and we will be sad to say goodbye to them as they are closing the shop at the end of June. That being said, they're honouring our sponsorship and offering our lucky winner 5 images of their choice - so play along for a change to win and stock up on those images on your wish list

The image is coloured with Promarkers in Caramel, Ruby, Duck Egg, Blue and Cool Aqua and accented with Whisper pens. Everything else is from my stash box with the exception of the sentiment which is computer generated. 

A CAS card this week which can be used for a number of occasions. Thanks for stopping by. Until next time, happy crafting! 

Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with Twist of Dies and Punches

Good Morning all

Well what a week we've had - horrible weather here in Birmingham! I would say at least the weekend is looking up but apparently that's wishful thinking.

Well a wet weekend means more crafting time, right? and we have a new challenge over at Crafty Catz this week. As always our challenge is Anything Goes but if you want an optional twist this week we're using Dies and Punches. We're sponsored this week by Time for Tea who are offering our lucky winner 3 digis of their choice. 

Now I've been naughty this week - we were kindly given images to use for the DT cards but I opted to make a pure Die Cut card this week and this is the result:

The dies are from Sizzix and I cut them out twice, once in plain white and then in various colours to make the cocktails. I then cut the second die to size and edged all the card stock with matching Tim Holtz inks before gluing them together. I finished the glasses with white gel pen accents. I mounted all the glasses on coordinating gold shimmer paper which I edged with white gel and there you have it. 

I hope you like it - this card actually went to fellow DT member Sue for her birthday and I hope she took the advice inside the card to celebrate in style.

Until next week though, happy crafting!

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 Mirror Card

Morning all,

I love this image by RSD, it's just such a fun little character. I've coloured him with promarkers in Warm Grey 1, Cool Grey 3, Pastel Pink, Oatmeal, Gold, Forest Green, Sky Blue and China Blue, The background is edged with Faded Jeans Distress Ink and the mirror card is embossed with the script folder and the design is finished with matching pips.
