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.......

Unky, the artist an owner of The East Wind', has made a promise to draw new releases for every Monday and Friday.....she has given herself a lot of hard work to meet this promise!!!

February's freebie image is called 'Hart Flower' and is part of the Aurora range, and here she is.......

 

 

Isn't this a gorgeous image that is quite thought provoking when you look at the facial expression.

 

The challenge theme is 'Tainted Love'

 

I used a mix of colours in this make, that I haven't used for a long time.

 

Here is what I have made.......

 

 

I coloured her hair in pinks first, but thought it didn't stand out that much, so added the pale blue. I am really happy with how the image and the card ended up. I used my Silhouette to cut the frame out of kraft card. I have inked the edges of the layers, just to give it an aged look.

 

If you click on the Etsy Shop Link above, you will find all of the recent new releases, as well as many many more gorgeous images. There is something in the shop for everyone's crafting styles and preferences.

I really love this card. for me it is Clean and Simple and Elegant. The paper and the sentiment strip are both from a paper pad from the works and cost me 99p!!!
