copic markers
Brushos
glitter
button style letters
fibers

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us this at Crafting with Friends.

Buttons and Bows

I thought I would pull out my watercolour crayons for this week's challenge at Come and Get It Challenges. The challenge is to make a card and use a button and ribbon in your design. I used this pretty digital image from Oak Pond Creations, one of our sponsors this week for my card. The image is called simply Tulips. I thought it was perfect for using watercolours.

Once I had watercoloured my tulips I embossed around my image with a couple of rectangle dies and added a sentiment and of course my bow and button. To be truthful the ribbon and button were suppose to go where the thank you was but I forgot the theme of the challenge was while I was putting the card together so I added it to the side of the card. I liked how it worked.

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day. Don't forget to stop by our challenge blog to see the beautiful creations the design team has created to inspire you.

Having Tea in the Woods and Scary Spiders

It is time for an inspirational challenge at Forever Dark this month and this is my project for the challenge.

I found this wood picture at the thrift store and thought it would make a base for my project.

I took the wood picture apart and painted a background to accent my digital image that I was using for this month's challenge. The image I used for the project is by Jade Dragonne our sponsor this month. I also added a moon, fence, raven, bats and some skeleton heads to complete the project.

This is my second project for this challenge and I used another image from Jade Dragonne , our sponsor this week.

I coloured my image with copic markers, glitter pen and PanPastels. I added my image to some spider pattern paper from my stash and added a spider to complete the card.

Thank you for stopping by and I hope you will join us this month at Forever Dark. Pop over to their challenge blog to see the inspiring projects of the design team.
