Anything Goes Challenge at Fitztown

This is my project for this week's challenge at Fitztown, Anything Goes.  I used two of the antique cars from Fitztown's antique car collection for my project, you can find these cars here. 

I made my tag out of upholstery fabric  that I cut out with Tim Holtz's large tag die cut that I glued on to some heavy craft paper to give the project some strength and then I added some stitching.  My next step was to layer my gears, cars and sentiments. The cars and trim of the sentiments were coloured with Copic Markers.  My last step was to add some dark pearls, a jute cord and Diamond Glaze for the headlights. 

There is still time to join in this challenge.  We would love to see your art work.  Just create your project and enter it here.

Where the Boys Are

I made this card for a challenge at Come and Get It Challenges.  The Challenge is to make a card with the theme "Where the Boys Are". 

I used a digital image from Bugaboo one of the sponsors of the challenge called Gus Fish Whisperer .    I coloured him with my Copic Markers.  I added Diamond Glaze to the water droplet and to Gus' glasses.  The Diamond Glaze shattered a little bit and it looks like Gus' glasses are broken.   The punched fish were done with a punch from my collection by McGill Craftivity. 

Thank you for stopping to take a look and have a creative day.

The Reason for Christmas

Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge has a challenge this week called "The Reason for Christmas".  I automatically thought of a Nativity Scene when I heard what the challenge was.  I found this nativity scene at The Stamping Boutique , one of our sponsors this week. 

I coloured my card with Copic Markers, glitter pen and a gold leafing pen and then cut out the image and layered it on several paper in the colour of my image. 

Thank you for stopping to take a look.

Spots and Stripes Challenge

This is my card I made for the current challenge at Fitztown, spots and stripes.  I used some paper I was saving from a paper pack called All Dressed Up.  I thought it had some great glitter paper that suited the theme of this challenge and my chosen image,  Cameo 1 from Fitztown.  I love her soft looking face and the color combo of pinks, silver and black.  I think the glitter paper, flower and bling gives the card a very grown up dressy look.

Come join in our challenge this week at Fitztown.  We'd love to see what you do with the spots and stripes theme. Thanks for stopping by!
