Crafty Catz DT - Anything Goes

Good Morning and welcome to another Friday.
 
Last challenge of the month over at Crafty Catz and that only means one thing - Anything Goes, so grab your pens, your paper, your inks or your threads and get creating!
 
We are sponsored this week by the team at Crimson Cloud who are offering our winner 3 packs of Die Cuts
 
So on with this weeks card, and this time I've done away with the stamps and pens and dug out the old needle and thread to create this:
I was given this pattern an age ago by a friend and it never ceases to make me laugh. I have a couple of other friends I want to stitch this up for too, as they're massive knitters.
 
Anyway, I hope it's inspired you to do something a little outside the box and don't forget to swing by the blog and see the other girls fab creations. Until next time though, happy crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - Bling it up

Happy Friday!

Here's to the end of another week and a new challenge at Crafty Catz. This week's theme has been set by Kim, who wants you to Bling It Up. We are sponsored this week by Marianne Creatables. Our winner this week will receive:
On with my card:
The image is of course a stunning one by Saturated Canary, which I coloured in with promarkers in the following colours: Ivory, Blush, Pastel Pink, Saffron, Buttercup, Gold, Apricot, Honeycomb, Pear Green, Duck Egg, Pastel Blue, Caramel, Cinnamon and Henna. I started with a colour wash on her dress with blush rose ink, which I watered down and used like a watercolour paint.
 
The shaped base paper and the two tags are from Bunny Zoe and the base colour and shaped circle ribbon die cut is from Kaisercraft - Lush Collection. It's all been edged with Tim Holtz Vintage Photo and then as the challenge demands bling; lots of gems!
 
I hope you like it and don't forget to swing by the blog to see everyone else's fab creations.
 
Until next time then - Happy Crafting!

Crafty Catz DT - Paper Piecing

Hi everyone,
 
Here's to another Friday challenge over at Crafty Catz. This weeks theme has been set by the lovely Jac who wants you all to use Paper Piecing. We are sponsored by Bugaboo this week
7 images of winners choice
So this week I used the sponsor image 'Stella's magical substance' I love these images and the matching sentiment - it makes me laugh so much.
 
The papers are both offcuts left over from other projects; the back is from Stampin Up and the pink is from a free paper pad I got with a craft magazine. The image is coloured with promarkers in Ivory, Blush, Cool Grey 1, Duck Egg, Maroon and Burnt Sienna. The buttons are from stash.
 
So there we go. I hope you like it and I hope you will join us this week at Crafty Catz. Until next time, happy crafting!
