Anyway, on with the challenge which has been set by Janette who wants to see CAS - No design Papers this week. We have two amazing sponsors in the form of Sasayaki Glitter and Digital Paper Craft

Crafty Catz DT - Main Colour is Red

Hi everyone! 

Hope you're all well, sorry for being MIA on the commenting recently, I was away on holiday and came back with a stinking cold that left me wiped out. Hope to be back to normal commenting soon though. 

Anyway, we're at another Friday which means a brand new challenge at Crafty Catz and our theme this week was set by Sue who wants to see cards with Red as the main colour which is perfect for all those valentines cards I have no doubt you're all busy making. 

Out sponsor this week is Sami Stamps and they are kindly offering our lucky winner a $12 voucher to spend in the shop

So as you can see I went all out on the red. The image is coloured with Dusky Rose, Poppy, Ruby, Burgundy, Gold, Buttercup, Cool Aqua and Dusky Pink. 

Add the sentiment on the computer and used elements from Craft Asylum's Into the Woods 6x6 pad to accent the design and then everything is finished with white gel pen

Hope you like it and do pop by the blog to see everyone else's creations. 

Oooh and if you're on instagram please pop by and say hi - my profile is in my right side bar - would love to see you over there. 

Until next time, happy crafting

Hope your Birthday is Pure Magic

Afternoon all.

Hope you're having a great weekend. Just a quick post from me today. This is my Dad's birthday card and I used a fab image by Mo called Wiz and the background was created using a new stencil from Create a Smile Stamps.

Everything is coloured using promarkers - though I forget to create a list of colours. The background was made by using two colours (I think it was Gold and Apricot) and I just coloured plain white card and blended until I got the colour I wanted. I then using white gel pen to draw around the stencil and used Pumpkin (I think) to colour some areas in darker. I finished off the other spaces with stickles star dust.

Hope you like it. I would like to enter this into the following challenges:
Inspiration Destination - Anything Goes

Until next time - happy crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - Word Art

Morning all.

Did you have fun with last weeks Crafty Catz Challenge? we had some gorgeous entries, so thanks for playing along. 

Another Friday brings a new challenge and this weeks theme has been set by the lovely Tracey who challenges you to Word Art - so that means that words have to be the central feature of your design. We are sponsored this week by the fab team at Bugaboo who are offering our lucky winners 7 images of their choice

I used Bugaboos fab Coffee Love image and drew around the word art to make it into a coffee mug. I then cut it, distressed it with Sahara Sands Versa Magic Ink and then went over key words in 4 different whisper marker brown pens. The background was created by stamping the bottom of a coffee cup into Tim Holtz Vintage Photo ink and then smudged it out. I distressed a doily with Versa Magic Thatched Straw and used scraps of paper for the boarder. The whole thing is finished with gems and some raffia from stash. 

I hope you like it and don't forget to come join the challenge. Until next time, happy crafting!
