Challenge #133 - "Kraft plus 1 other Colour" - Pink Gem Challages

Good Morning Crafters, well the Challenge over on Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot is all about using Kraft paper so it was up to me to think about which of the gorgeous Pink Gem images to use and I hope you like the result. As always our very generous sponsor is Janet of Pink Gem Designs

and you really should pay a visit to her website and see what gorgeous images there is on offer. And here is the card I created for this Challenge.

 

And I have used "Spiderman Andy" and you will find him here, I printed him onto white card then used my copic pens to colour him afterwards I used a Justright Vintage Labels No.2 to cut it out and then created a mount by drawing around the die and cutting out by hand.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of Kraft card and I used a large embossing folder and put it through my ebosser to create the background, I also then used some duster and inkpad to darked it.

I then placed my mounted image in the middle and in the top left hand corner I have used a Memory box Spider Corner and a spider, the sentiment is one from Papercraft dies and this was placed down the right side.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot to see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Kraft plus one other Colour" Challenge.

I cannot believe that I have been running this blog for 6 years and my No.2 blog for 4, those years have flown so quickly and so much has happened in that time, youve heard of hatched, matched and despatched well Ive certainly had a few of those in that time, firstly my husbands daughters have produced three grandchildren and my grandson gave me my first great grandson, then my grandson and his wife got married and also my eldest daughter got remarried, and to finish of we lost my dear father in law and mother in law and my own mum in the last five years. It always amazes me that we manage somehow to carry on and cope with these things but I suppose thats why we are put here to do that.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of yellow card, the paper is also from the same digi set as the Fireman and you will find it here. I then placed my mounted image in the middle of the shield shape and I created the sentiment on my computer and placed this also on a mount of yellow card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount out of yellow card, the papers I have used are from Sweetshoppes "A Fresh Start" digi paper set and I used one paper for the background and two for the mounts, the first is a dark orange yellow and then on top is a more citric yellow, I then placed a sheet of spiderweb across the whole card and placed my mounted image in the middle towards the top. The sentiment is one form my stash and this was cut out with a Heartfelt label die and placed in the bottom right hand corner.

Challenge #175 - "A Card of Many Folds" - The Paper Shelter

Good Morning Paper Fellow Followers, well a lot has happened since my last Challenge for The Paper Shelter, we have been away to Guernsey for a week spending time with my friends and their little lad Nicolas, we had a really fabulous time and the weather was just perfect, thank you so much Jo and Stephen for having us. Also my eldest grandson has returned from Afghanistan and I do so hope that this will be his last posting there, I believe hes actually had three and I know he misses his son so much to, so lets hope the RAF officially leave by Christmas as theyve promised.
Anyway this weeks Challenge over on The Paper Shelter is "A Card of Many Folds" so I will show you my interpretation in a moment but first you will want to know who our sponsors are and they are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of $30.

But as always this comes with the rule that you must have used one of their products on your card and that could be either a Image, Paper or Printable but even if you havent they will still give you three digi images of your own choice. Their library at The Paper Shelter website is full of surprises and the value against the £ is just unbelievable so do pay them a visit and browse for yourself.
And now for my card

I do apologise for the side of the card being in shadow I meant to take another photo but couldnt find the card so I do hope it wont spoil your view of it. I have used this gorgeous "The Time of My Life" image (remind you of anything?) and you will find them here, I printed them onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Nestabilitie rectangle die to cut them out and a fancy one for the mount out of pink card.

The base card is basically a 6.50"x 6.50" white card thats been folded twice to create this gateleg card, and the papers are from The Paper Shelters "The Happy Couple" and you will find them here, and I used two papers a pink and a blue patterned design, and these were mounted onto pink card and put inside and on the two sections in the front.

The mounted image was placed on the very front one over the fold, and the sentiment is a stamped one and this was also placed on a mount of pink card and then placed on the back section in the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used three different sized pearls in the top and bottom corners that I could reach.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will pay a visit to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "A Card of Many Folds" Challenge.

StampArt Design by Kathryne

And we were so lucky to be able to choose one of her fabulous images to play with and I chose this one

and I chose to use the left hand line "Flowers, Lace and Dies/Punches" for my theme, the image is called "Maggie" and you will find her here, and I printed her onto white card and coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used Nestabilitie Die Labels No.1 and the mount is one of the fancy one for the mount, I also used the sentiment that came with the image and this was also printed onto white card and cut out with a small Nestabilitie Label die and mounted on a piece of the purple card thats been used for the mount of the image.

The base card is a 6.50" x 6.50" white card and the mount is a piece of purple card and the papers are from Sweetshoppe digi set, and I then placed around the middle a piece of lace and attached it to the back of the first mount. The mounted image was placed in the center and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.

The flower spray was a number of different coloured cosmo daisies and placed in a spray in the top left hand corner and at the bottom I have placed a blue bow and to finish of I have used two butterflies that have been punched out with a punch and pearls in the top left and right hand bottom corners.

Anyway here is my card for this weeks Challenges.

For my image I have used this beautiful "Rose" image from The Paper Shelter and you will find her here on their website. I printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens, afterwards I used the Wild Rose die to cut her out and for her mount I have used a piece of pink pearlescent card and a tied together embossing folder.
The base card is a 6.50" x 6.50" white card and the first mount is a piece of the same pink card, and the paper is also from the "Rose" digi image and paper set and I placed this on top of the card. Then I placed my image at angle and in the bottom left I have used another of the Wild Rose dies for the sentiment which is also a Wild Rose one. In the right hand corner is a pink bow created with seam binding and on top I have placed a pearl button, and in the top left hand corner I have used several roses of different sizes to create a spray.
