SLS Inspirational Post

For those that don't know, I have joined the 'SLS Lines' Design Team. Today see's my first inspirational post for them........

For the inspirational posts, we can pick any image we like and make something with it to inspire others to make and hopefully join in with our current challenges etc....

I looked long and hard through the images and had to choose the image that related most to me and that was........Lazy Cat lol lol

Before I show you what I made, here are the links you need for the shop and challenge blog etc....

The card base is from Hunkydory and was embossed with an A4 embossing folder. 

The image is coloured with spectrum noir pencils

The papers are from my stash, as is the sentiment. 

The blue and green embellishments are nail heads.

I hope you like my inspirational piece and will take a look at the challenge blog and join in our current challenge. 

Just For Fun Octobers Buttons and Bows

Welcome fellow Bloggers, Crafters and most importantly, Friends.... Thank you once again for visiting my blog.

 

 

The Just For Fun Challenge Blog is a monthly Challenge Blog. We have two teams, Team A who post their makes on the 1st of the month, and Team B who post their makes on the 16th of the month.

Both teams are there to make projects designed to inspire you to join in with our fun challenges.

 

 

Just For Fun Challenge Blog

 

 

As you can tell by the date of my post, I am on Team B, providing mid month inspirations.

This months theme is 'Buttons and Bows' so its a nice easy theme for you. This means, you can make anything, as long as it contains these two items.

 

As the Challenge Blog name suggests, our Challenges are 'Just for Fun', however we do sometimes have wonderful prizes donated by our very talented Design Team.

This month, we have had a prize donated, and here it is:

I have started colouring with my Water Colour pencils a lot more. I find them easier to get into smaller places, and they look lovely.

 

I have tried to use different shapes and patterns. I struggle to put different patterned papers together, however I put my fears aside and just went for it...and I like how it turned out!

 

 

I really hope this has inspired you to pop over to the Just For Fun Challenge Blog and join in with our brilliant theme this month.

Baby Card and Gorjuss!

Welcome fellow bloggers, crafters and friends... Thank you for the visit.

All of these cards were made for the 'one word wonder' over on the Mad Crafters Giggles Facebook group.

Sundays theme was 'lace' and this is what I came up with......

The image is a gorjuss one. I used a textured black backing card, red card from my stash and some red elastic lace. 

I embellished with some heart diecuts from Marianne designs, wired beads, feather, flower and red flat back gems. 

I love the red and black together. 

Mondays theme was 'country' and this is what I came up with......

I made the backing card with scattered straw and brushed corduroy Tim Holtz distress inks, and then splashed with water to give it an even more distressed look. 

I shaped the top of the card by drawing round the topper and cutting it out. 

I edged the card with a brown thin nibbed pen. 

The topper is a hunkydory one from my stash. 

I used hessian ribbon, brown satin ribbon and finished off with skeleton leaves and a sentiment. 

Not sure on this card, but I love the natural feel. 

Today's theme was 'baby' and this is what I came up with......

I used a sheet of gingham card from my stash and a sheet of green that matched the image. 

I used a marrieanne designs die for the frame. 

I stamped the bottle, dummy and  wording with Tim Holtz bundled sage distress ink and cut them out and backed with the same green. 

Finished off with green and pale yellow flat backed pearls and two coloured safety pins.

I have to say, I love how this one has turned out! 

Thank you for the lovely comments people have been leaving me, they all mean a huge amount....
