Digitally "Sweet" Challenge #55 Anything Goes


Photobucket

Hi everyone, and welcome to the next challenge at Digitally "Sweet" Challenges. Firstly, I must thank those of you who played in our last challenge.

The theme this week is

ANYTHING GOES

Our sponsor this week is Heather from Lacey Sunshine
 
 
and I chose to play with The Garden digi bits and make a card.
 
 
I firstly took the digital images into Craft Artist Professional v2 and then into Cut out Studio. Here I cut out all the bits between the lines so that they became line drawings. I then printed them out onto patterned paper - a bit like digital paper piecing I suppose. I have then decorated them with pearls and glitter - I do love my bling!!
The papers are from a Polka Doodles CD called All Around and Everywhere. I then used an Xcut die called Ornate Frame for the middle panel which is kraft card and then I drew around it for the matt behind. The sentiment stamp is from an Indigo Blu set called Wild Meadow and the final bit of bling is from some frantage shabby pink embossing enamel.
 
I would like to enter the following challenges:-
 
Sparkle 'n' Sprinkle Challenge - Anything Goes with glitter/Embossing powder,
 
Craft Your Passion - No coloured images,
 
Bunny Zoes Challenge - Something Blue,
 
Through The Craft Room Door - Anything Goes,
 
Party Time Tuesdays - Anything Goes,
 
Bearly Mine Challenge - Anything Goes and DT Call,
 
Simon Says Challenge - Anything Goes,

Aud Sentiments Challenge #89 Autumn NOT Halloween


Hi everyone, it's time for some more inspiration for the current challenge at Aud Sentiments.  AND I must apologise for being so late. We are having a new kitchen fitted and it has totally addled my brain!!

Our challenge this fortnight is to make something with

AN AUTUMN SENTIMENT NOT HALLOWEEN

Our sponsor this fortnight is Stamp Fairy


 and here is my creation using one of their images

 
and the inside
 
 
I coloured the main image with Promarkers and then made my own background and insert background using Starburst Stains - I have had them for over 9 years but hardly ever used them and I can't find them for sale anymore. The leaves and sentiment are from a Sheena Douglass Little Bit Sketchy Range of stamps called Autumn Leaves. I made another background with the stains and stamped on top and then cut them out - simple!
