I chose to use a happy cat image, which I love. There are a few cat images that SLS lines have produced and I have used them all. 

Here is what I have made for Challenge #119 BLING BLING sponsored by SLS Lines

The shapes were cut on my Silhouette Cameo, out of a craft works cards paper pad. 

The image was coloured with Faber Castell coloured pencils.

The bling bling is loads of blue flat backed gems.

I used this gorgeous image 'BeachWagon' with no scenery

https://www.etsy.com/uk/listing/197048858/beachwagon-digi-stamp-and-scenery?ref=shop_home_active_19

 

Here is what I made with it:

 

I really wanted to make something different and this image gave me the opportunity too. I kept looking at the image and I couldn't see it on a card in my head. I could however, see it on a wooden plaque with keys!!!!!

 

Here is my wooden key rack made with a MWLW image. The pins are copper to keep the theme of the rustic feel. I have coloured the image with polychromos Faber Castell pencils and then painted over with PVA glue to stick it to the plaque.

The plaque has a slight backing to it done with distress inks.

I have added twine and some keys to finish it off.

 

I hope you like this, and it shows you that you don't have to use these images just on cards.

Today I am sharing with you a card with a 3D pop out wobbly element too it.

I used the image - Abracadabra - as it is so cute and so versatile on projects.

 

 

Here is what I made with this image.......

 

 

I made the card base from acetate, as well as the spring element to make the topper sand out and wobble.

The papers are from my stash and I coloured the image with Faber Castel Pencil and highlighted with white pen for the dots.

A Couple of new bits....

Hello Beautiful people......Thank you for your visit :D

 

 

I have a couple of recent makes to share with you. I hope you will like them.....

 

 

This was a decoupage kit that I purchased from the NEC a few years ago but never used. I thought he was so cute, and kept looking at me from my topper box, so had to use him.

 

 

 

 



 

This is a new PolkaDoodles image that I coloured with polychromos Faber Castel colouring pencils. I useds an embossing folder for the backing and the flowers are made using a set of dies.

 

 

 



This was coloured using the same pencils to colour the simply betty style image. The spotty backing card is from a Lelli-Bot Crafts card kit, and the other paper is from my stash.

I would like to enter my last project in the following challenges -

Art By Miran - #34 Anything Goes
Crafty Catz - #284 Different Coloured Hair
