Quirky Crafts Challenge- last one of 2011

Its is Cazzy's turn and she has decided Christmas or New Year with a twist...and her twist was Steampunk! A new thing for me completely. Our sponsors this time are StitchyBear Stamps and I chose the LiteBrite stamp to work with. I had a great piece of backing paper, a really dark red, that I have been saving for ages and I decided now the time was right to use it. I decided on an easel card, but I have printed the stamp onto acetate so I could create an acetate bubble/dome to the easel part of the card. I coloured the acetate on the reverse and then used a lovely festive ribbon as my stop.

I hope you like it. Please come along to The Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog, check out the challenge and have a go at winning the prizes......yes there are prizes!!
Have a good Christmas Everyone in Blogland...and a Happy and Healthy New Year to you all!

Quirky Crafts Challenge - 24 - Clean and Simple

The new challenge is set by Caro, who has decided on Clean and Simple. I love and admire this style of card, but find it really difficult not to over fuss thinks.  choose the Boo Boo Bunny stamp from our lovely sponsors, Digital Delights by Louby Lou. Coloured with promarkers, here is what I have come up with....

Challenge 23 - Attitude

Another fortnight has sped by and it is time for another challenge at Quirky Crafts. Cazzy has set this challenge and she chose Attitude. We were to use Digital Stamps from The Stamping Boutique who are our sponsors for this challenge. Click on the link to go to The quirky Crafts Challenge Blog for full details of the challenge and the prizes on offer. Please read carefully as we have decided to change the way that the prizes are awarded.

I chose a digital stamp from the Stamping Boutique called Max. He just screamed attitude to me the moment I saw him. i decided to create a stand card so that i could make it look like a stage. The centre part where you would normally attach the tag is where i have created the stage backdrop, and i mounted Max on to acetate so I could adhere him to the front section of the stand, making it look like he is on stage in a spotlight. Max is coloured with promarkers and decoupaged. I couldn't resist the blue streaked hair!
Come and check out the challenge....

Quirky Crafts Challenge 22 - Autumn colours and leaves

My turn to set the challenge this time, it is surprising how quickly my turn comes around again. Looking out my craftroom window gave me the inspiration. The trees have some beautiful colours at the moment, I love Autumn. SO my choice was easy this time. I want to see Autumn colours and I want to see Leaves. As always you can make whatever you like, it doesn't have to be a card...whatever takes your fancy. Here is mine

This challenge is sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps. There is a prize on offer of free digital stamps from the Stitchy Bear Store. The design team were given some stamps to play with. I chose the Snuggle Birds, they looked so cosy. Leaves were punched out and coloured with promarkers. Come and join the challenge.....

Quirky Crafts Challenge -21 Spooky or recipe

Yet again time for a new challenge....Lyn's turn this time. we had some lovely images from Limited Runs to work with...and there is a choice of digi images for a prize, so head on over to Quirky Crafts Challenge Blog and enter.
Here is mine

It is a tent type card, but with a folded bit inside, like a stepper card.....I have no clue what the official name is for this fold...sorry! I coloured the bat with trusty promarkers and mounted him onto an acetate strip, so I could get the effect of him flying out at you from the haunted scene behind. I don't really get into the whole Halloween thing much......but I quite like this one....
