July's Lelli-Bot Crafts Challenge

Today, see's the start of the2nd Lelli-Bot Crafts Challenge. The first one was a bit slow, however I am confident it will build with all the new customers we are getting.

 

 

I am lucky to have been with Leli-Bot Crafts since the start, and I cannot believe how fast the company has grown. We have AMAZING designs, AMAZING products and more importantly AMAZING Lelli-Botters (our supporters).

I would like to think that Sam Holliday's Lelli-Bot Crafts brand is now a crafting household name, with new customers and lover daily.
Not only do people on facebook love these products, but Create & Craft customers LOVE them and can't get enough of the products and Sam's great demos.

 

 

I have done a tutorial on my tutorial blog page, using a Lelli-Bot Crafts stamp, so if you would be interested in this, please have a looksie:

I decided to use the kit Gothic Lace', which was amongst the 3rd set of kits to be launched.

This kit is black and white and is gorgeous. It is perfect to add colour too, as well as to add lots of sparkle and gorgeousness....It is a very diverse kit that can be used for pretty and grungy cards and made as bright or as dark as you wanted.

 

 

Here is my inspirational make, and I hope you take inspiration from it....

 

 

The topper is covered in sparkle medium, however it is hard to see on photos. I hope you can see some of the sparkle.

 

 The flowers were hand stamped on the backing sheet, then painted with mica paint and covered with a thin layer of sparkle medium.

 

 I really hope you will come over to the challenge blog http://lellibotcraftchallengeblog.blogspot.co.uk/?m=1 and join in with our challenges, and also become a follower...

 

 

Anyway, I have rabbited enough now, so will shush and let you go an start making your challenge entry.......

 

Left Of Centre Challenge #36

I would firstly like to apologise to any of my Design Teams where I have missed a challenge. 

As my facebook friends will know, I have been struggling a lot with my health. 

I ended up back in hospital, so I am on strict orders to bed rest and not move about much. 

Today see's the start of the new challenge over on the Left Of Centre Creative Challenges. This is challenge #36 and the theme is 'Add Some Sparkle'.

Do you like the new look Left Of Centre blog? Now we have gone weekly, we thought we should have a little change of decoration.

This weeks challenge is sponsored by the very brilliant Aurora Wings.

Aurora Wings do a great selection of images both cute and mysterious and can be used for normal or dark makes.

I chose to use the 'Shades of Blue' image. Shes gorgeous, detailed and offers lots of oppertunities to try different things.

Here is what I have made for this challenge.....

What I used.....

- Faber Castel Polychromatic colouring pencils

- Sparkle medium

- Sikhouette Cameo

- Kanban backing card

- Coredenations card stock

- Pearl spray

- White satin leaves

- White card candi covered in sparkle medium

I hope you like this card and all the sparkle!!

It is time for the Left Of Center Mid Challenge Inspirational post.... The theme this time around is

"Card For A Male"

Remember, you don't have to to make anything dark, as long as you stick to the theme. If you do make something dark, it can be anything you like.... 

http://leftofcenterchallenges.blogspot.ca/

The Left Of Center offer fortnightly challenges. We are very lucky to have an amazing list of Sponsors who offer wonderful prizes to our winners..... 

We have two brilliant sponsors this time. The first is Ike's Art and the second is Dilly Beans

Both of these companies have sponsored us for a while and are absolutely amazing. The both have gorgeous images that colour wonderfully and look amazing on any project. We are very lucky to have their support and images. 

So, Challenge #31 - Card for a Male. For this challenge, I chose to use an image from Dilly Beans, but it was a very hard choice to choose between the two. 

The image I chose from Dilly Beans was "Bolt Robot Frame" as I wanted to make my card for a younger male. 

Here is what I made.....

As you can see, the image is brilliant and perfect for a young boy. I coloured him in with WHSmiths colouring pencils and did a random background so there wasnt so much white on show. I used a white rangers pen to highlight areas.

I used a cog stencil and sprayed a light blue mica spray over the top to give it a broken up shimmer (You can just see the shape of a cog on the robot head). The image was backed on black card. 

The main backing sheet is a 12x12 cog design backing paper, which I matted with the same black card as the other layers. 

I used the same cog stencil, and covered it with Black Sparkle Medium. This is the first time I have used it and absolutely loved it. I was too impatient to allow this to dry naturally..so I might have hurried it along with my heat gun...Shhhhhhh

I backed this in the black card. 

The strip of cogs is made with a lot of black sparkly cog peel-offs that I have had in my stash for a while. 

I finished with some black Card Candi and a black Birthday peel-off sentiment. 

I really like the blue and the sparkly black in this card. To me, the robot looks quite cute lol 

I hope you like this card and it will maybe give you the push you needed to join in the challenge yourself....Remember, it doesn't have to be dark, it just has to fit the theme!

Here is the link to the Left Of Center Challenge Blog again, so no excuses....Chop chop....

Its mid month so that means only one thing...... Mid way inspiration post for the Just For Fun Challenge Blog!

Our Challenges are monthly and Run from the 1st of each month, with a mid way inspirational post on the 16th of each month. 

We have nice easy themes, that can be adapted to be used in any form of crafting. We accept all forms of crafting, as long as it fits our challenge themes. 

This months Just For Fun theme is "Ribbon/Lace", so a really nice and easy one. 

Here is what I have made.....

I have used a Lelli-Bot Crafts Topper from the Radiant Butterflies Kit. This kit is beautiful and very versatile. I have matched this with a backing paper from my stash, and a lovely frame that I cut on my Cameo. 

I chose to use some lace that is thick and gorgeous and worked well with the other colours of the card. 

The butterfly embellishments and the roses and bow are all from the Lelli-Bot Crafts Radiant Butterfly Embellishment Box.

The finishing pieces of the card are Craftwork Cards Card Candi. 

I hope you like this card and it has given you the little kick you needed to maybe join in with the Just For Fun Ribbon/Lace Challenge Blog.

Its mid month so that means Mid way inspiration post for the PunkYouGirl Challenge Blog!

http://punkyougirl.blogspot.co.uk/

PunkYouGirl is a monthly Dark Themed Challenge Blog. 

We are dark themed, so want to see all your dark themed entries. We don't want fluffy and cute, we want dark/gothic/punk/alternative/grunge etc....

We are extremely lucky to have a great list of Sponsors who offer some wonderful prizes to our winners. 

This months Sponsor is the amazingly talented Delicious Darkness / Delicious Doodles

http://deliciousdarkness2.blogspot.co.uk/

This months Challenge is #12 - Things With Wings

Here is what I made using Delicious Darkness's Steam Punk Fairy. 

I coloured the image with WHSmiths colouring pencils. The wings I used glitter pen and a glaze pen. The glaze pen I added some texture to it so it looked like veined textured wings. I also added glazing to the eyes, earring and arm cuff. 

The backing paper is from Craftwork Cards paper pad called 'Time Flys' and it is gorgeous. I mounted this on purple card. The image I counted onto purple cordination card which I embossed a spiders webb design onto, and then mounted it all onto black card. 

The spiders webb I cut on my Silhouette Cameo along with the gorgeous spider, which I sprayed with gold mica spray. 

This isn't a DARK card, but it is in a dark theme. I think the image is too pretty to make into a really dark card.
