18th Birthday!

 Good morning, today sees the start of our April Challenge at Crafty Calendar, 

the theme is FEMININE. 

There's a lovely prize of  a Heffy Doodle stamp set for our lucky winner.

I'm sharing the card I made for my niece's 18th Birthday which was back in November. The image is a digi stamp from Polkadoodle, printed onto a square of white cardstock, coloured with copics and then masked. I printed the large numerals onto copy paper, cut them out and used them to mask over the already masked image...if that makes sense... then used a Lavinia stencil with pink and green distress inks to create the background. The dots are Nuvo Stone Drops, which have a pretty shimmer. Finally I added the large die cut sentiment. 

As always there's some lovely inspiration over at the Challenge Blog, hope you have the time to check it out.

Thanks for visiting

Fairy dreams

 Good morning, today sees the start of a new Anything Goes challenge at Crafty Catz.  

There is no sponsor or prize this fortnight, we're playing just for fun, but still an opportunity to win one of our Top 3 badges for anyone who joins in. 

I indulged in a bit of colouring therapy to make this card, the gorgeous image from Aurora Wings is coloured with copic markers, lots of sparkle added- which of course doesn't show up! I kept the design very simple, added a stamped sentiment and some sparkly gems. Please check out the challenge blog for some lovely inspiration from the rest of the team.

While I'm here a quick heads up for a great new challenge coming very soon- something a little different 

Here's the link https://tag-alongandatc.blogspot.com/

A new challenge blog is always good news!
