Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes with Twist of Baby

Good Morning All, 

Are you enjoying the weather? everyone's craft rooms suitable for baking bread more than being creative? oh good! lol! don't get me wrong, I actually like the heat but sleeping? not really happening so I'm getting grouchy now.

Anyway, the end of the week means a new challenge and this week it's my turn to host and as always we have Anything Goes but the added twist if you want to play along is Baby 

We are sponsored this week by Di's Digi Stamps and they are offering our lucky winner a $12 voucher

The images I used this week are from Emily Peterson and can be found here

I coloured the images in promarkers - Cool Grey 1 and 2, Ruby, Red, Apple, Lime Green, Honeycomb, Pumpkin, Gold and Canary. 

All the papers are scraps and the die is one I found on ebay - not sure of the maker. I edged everything in Wink of Steller Glitter or White Gel and staggered the images using glue and foam pads

Hope you like it, until next time, happy crafting!  

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 twist of Summertime

Morning all

Hope you've all had a fab week of weather and those of you that got the long weekend had fun with family and/or friends. I was in work sadly so I missed out on the sunshine but that's the way it goes. 

This weeks challenge at Crafty Catz is sponsored by Crafty Ribbons who are offering our lucky winner a £10 voucher to the store

 

Our theme is, as always, Anything Goes with the optional twist of Summertime

This beautiful image by Saturated Canary has been coloured using promarkers: Cool grey 1, Cool Aqua, Pastel Yellow, Oatmeal, Pumpkin, Cinnamon, Caramel, Spice, Terracotta, Lime Green, Moss and Red

Elements from a floral summer pack and papers from stash. 

That's it this week. Hope you have a good weekend. Until next time, 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, 

Here we are at the end of another week and with a fun new challenge over at Crafty Catz. This weeks theme is, as always, Anything Goes but this weeks optional added twist is the use of Mirror Card. We are sponsored this week by Rick St Dennis who is offering our winner 3 images of their choice

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. 

That finishes this weeks design. Until next time, happy crafting!
