Forest ferns

I have had these NZ border papers for quite a few years and used very few of them.  I thought they were a perfect backdrop for this image.

Eureka Stamps - 3 or more patterned papers
http://eurekastamps.blogspot.co.nz/2015/06/eureka-stamps-challenge-144-3-or-more.html

I am not sure of the brand of these papers as they are in a pile with a paper sleeve around them.  The image is from Eureka Stamps and coloured with copic markers.  The matting is textured cardstock from DCWV.

Puss in Boots

They're shoes actually - but that is what the image is called and I couldn't think of anything else for the title.  I really love the cuteness of the little kitty.

One Stitch At A Time - Flowers
http://www.onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.de/2015/05/challenge-238.html

I have used a paper from a paper pad (think it may be Kaisercraft but not sure).  The image is from Stitchy Bear Stamps and coloured with copic markers.  I also added a flower created by layering some flower pieces together with a pearl.  I added some rose shaped buttons to the card - is it just me but this way up they look like they are smiling!

Face Focussed Canvas

I created a square canvas with red backdrop a couple of weeks ago but decided that the space where I was putting it seemed to need a little more so I have made a second canvas with a red backdrop.   Different image, different embellishments but the red ties them together.

I would like to enter my canvas into these challenges:

Creative Craft Cottage - Flowers
http://creativecraftcottage.blogspot.co.nz/2015/06/challenge-41-flowers.html

I used Dylusions Ink to colour the canvas.  I added some masking tape with spots and another with stripes.  I also stencilled some dots into two of the corners using a Memory Box stencil and Black Soot Distress Ink.  The image is from The East Wind and has been coloured using Dylusions Inks - I masked off the eye for a different colour.  The lips have some copic marker added and then I added Glossy Accents to the lips (lip gloss) and the eye.  I have also layered up some flower pieces to create a bigger flower and then added some Liquid Pearls to the centre.  There are also three dots of Liquid Pearls at the lower edge of the canvas.  To finish I added a bow crafted from some very interesting red ribbon.

Skateboarding Boy

Not the most inspiring of titles but it is about where my head space is at the moment.  Fortunately, the card was created before I hit this head space!

http://craftingforallseasons.blogspot.co.nz/2015/06/challenge-104-its-boy-thing.html


I have used a paper from a paper pad called "Boy" by Rosie's Studio.  The image is from Kenny K and has been coloured with copic markers.  I added three colours of grosgrain ribbon from American Crafts.  I also added a star embellishment.

Congradulations

A graduation card for a female.  My daughter is currently studying for a degree in costuming and a lot of her friends are too so I'm being prepared!  I thought a patchwork effect was quite fitting for a degree that involves alot of sewing!

Pattie's Creations - Graduation
http://pattiescreationschallenge.blogspot.co.nz/2015/06/challenge-111-must-always-use-image.html


I have used some offcut pieces of paper from a paper pad by Sugar and Spice Studio and cut them into hexagons and patchworked them.  I used the image as the central hexagon.  The image is from Patties Creations and is coloured with copic markers C5, C2, C1, Y000, RV23, RV21.  I also used some Peelcraft border stickers over the joins between the hexagons.  The sentiment is from Desert Diva and I hand cut it into a pennant shape.

Christmas Chibi

This is such a sweet image.  I have had it for a while (since it came out) but have only just had the inspiration to use it - helped along by Stella Says Sketch.

http://craftyhazelnutschristmaschallenge2.blogspot.co.nz/2015/06/chnc-challenge-extra-for-june-mid-month.html

I have used a paper from a Christmas paper pad by Sugar and Spice Studio.  The image is Chibi Elsa from Bugaboo Stamps.  I coloured the image with copic markers and then added Stickles to the dress and hair ribbon.  I matted with some gold pearlised paper and added three glitter domes.

Golfing

I followed a sketch for this card.  There are not as many sketch challenges around now which is a shame as they are such a good kick-start for creating.  In this case, I followed it fairly literally.
