Good Morning and welcome to a new challenge over at

CRAFT Challenge.

This week the theme of our challenge is Fathers’ Day / Male

This week we again have two very generous sponsors….

Digital Delights    and    Oddball Art

For my card I have used ‘ Painter Donnie’ from Digital Delights - here

I used my Silhouette cameo to create the card in the shape of the stamp.

The stamp is coloured using Promarkers and the letters on his hat were cut using alphabet dies I had free with a tattered lace magazine.

The backing paper is from Nitwit Collection – No Assembly required.

Good Morning,

                       It’s Sunday and time for another challenge over at

Our fabulous sponsor this week is ….

SLS Lines

For my card this week I chose ‘Flowers Dahlias’

  

From the table I chose ‘Shaped, birthday, gold / metallic’

The card shape was cut using a spellbinder die twice and attached to a tent fold base.

I inked through the die using distress ink.

The flowers were coloured with Promarkers.

The happy birthday sentiment is from a Little Claires sentiment collection and heat embossed in gold and the Aunt sentiment is cut from a creative expressions die from gold paper.

Christmas at CRAFT

Good Morning and welcome to a new challenge over at CRAFT Challenge.

This week the theme of our challenge is Christmas

This week we have two very generous sponsors….

Rick St Dennis MFA                  DRS Designs

For my DT project this week I was lucky enough to use

‘Christmas Party hat’ from Rick St Dennis MFA

I love Rick St Dennis images because they are a joy to colour.

I decided to make a chocolate gift box after watching Sarah Davies on Hochanda at the weekend.

You can see her demonstrating how to make the project on You tube here

I used my Big Score which makes measuring scoring A3 card so much easier.

 and inside just enough room for two bars of chocolate...

I used 300 gsm centura pearl card and printed two designs from a Bearly Mine Christmas collection straight onto the card.

The beautiful image was coloured using Promarkers .

The dies were cut using Marianne dies.

The ribbon and chocolate bars are from my stash – the chocolate won’t be in my stash for long!

The poinsettia was cut and embossed using the free poinsettia die and folder that came with a magazine and then I used gilding wax and liquid pearls on it.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges ……..
