Mushroom

 It's the new Sparkles Monthly Challenge today

the new theme is

'mushrooms and other fungi' (my choice)

here is my take

The background I made with stamps and different coloured ink

I used my mushroom stamp for the main image and die cut it 

and the sentiment is a die cut

So have a look at Sparkles monthly and join in with your own mushroomy papercraft project

see you there

Meowy Christmas

Today is the start of the new Winter Wonderland challenge

the new theme is

'Christmas Animals'

The sponsor this month is All Dressed Up Stamps

the image I got to play with is Meowy Christmas

here is my take

 I printed and coloured the image and die cut it with an oval die and I used a bigger die for the red frame

Finding the background was hard as I didn't have anything I liked until I found this snowflake tissue paper.  I wasn't sure if you could just glue down tissue paper but I tried it anyway and it worked fine

so have a look at Winter Wonderland and make your own animal themed paper craft project to enter

see you there

Beachy

 Today is the new Sparkles Monthly Challenge

the new theme is

'on the beach'

here is my take

This is a set of inchies (1 inch square) which I made for a swap on Facebook

They are mostly stamped images which I coloured and added 3d enamel effect

The fish is cut out and glued to a background which I made and hand drew the seaweed

The ice cream is washi tape with a patterned paper background and a shell sticker

and the beach ball is a sticker on another of my home made backgrounds

So have a look at Sparkles Monthly and make your own beachy papercraft project to enter

see you there

Crafty Card

Today is the new Cardz 4 Galz challenge

the new theme is

'check it out (gingham or plaid)'

here is my take

 

I used my check washi tape and stuck it down in a check(ish) pattern

I wanted to make a card for a crafty person so I used my stamp with die set for a sentiment and crafty equipment pictures

So have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own paper project to enter

Black, white and red

 Today is a new Cardz 4 Galz challenge

the new theme is

'black, white and one other colour'

here is my take

I have used red as my other colour

The lower pattern I made directly on the card blank and randomly stamped the hearts and stars in red and dots in black

I stamped and coloured the lady birds at the top with a tiny sentiment

I would have used washi tape to divide the top from the bottom but I didn't have any in red so I used a strip of red card which actually works just as well

so have a look at Cardz 4 Galz and make your own project to enter

see you there
