Cutting Dies and Punches challenge

This card I made for the challenge this week at Crafty Cardmakers.  The theme of the challenge is to use two dies or punches or one of each. 

To create my card I used a digital image by All Dressed Up called Festival Lily and 2 rubber stamps and die by Stampin Up along with Distressed Oxides. The two dies I used on the card are the circle stitched and the butterfly die. The image was coloured with Copic markers and a Wink of Stella.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.  Remember to pop over to our challenge blog to be inspired by our lovely creative design team.

Altered Puzzle Game Piece


Thought I would try something different for this weeks challenge at Come and Get IT Challenges and decided on a altered puzzle piece. The theme of the challenge is to feature a critter and I decided to use this digital  image from All Dressed Up called Pirate Puppy


This was a fun project to make and once I had painted it with gesso I painted the game piece with Acrylic paint. My next step was to add some stamped images from my collection of stamps to create a collage.  I used Distress Ink on the edges of the piece and Copic Markers to colour the images.  To complete the puzzle I added some die cut clouds and a little shell I had made out of shrink plastic. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.   i am entering my project in the following challenges:

    Welcome to another challenge at Not Just Cards.  The theme is anything goes just create your project or card and enter it in the challenge.  This week I created two projects for the challenge.  

    My first project is a tag an image from  All Dressed Up  called Cool dudes  . I coloured the image with my Copic markers, added some snowflakes and a little glitter and my little tag was complete. 



    My second project is a simple Easter basket using an image from Robyn's Fetish called  Waking Up Birdie .   I found this lovely basket at the thrift store that I thought would make a lovely Easter Basket. I created my embellishments for the basket with the image, layered it on the basket and added my Happy Easter sentiment also by Robyn's Fetish.
