MY CRAFTING STORIES CHALLENGE #4 - ANYTHING GOES

Hi all, today is the start of a new monthly challenge at

MY CRAFTING STORIES

the theme is

ANYTHING GOES

our sponsor is

THE PAPER SHELTER

Here is my Debut DT card

I had a choice of images and I chose

PRETTY LITTLE SAILOR

To my eyes she has the look of the 50's so I decided to go monochrome with gold glitter, I coloured with both Graph it Markers and Copics, the papers are Bearly mine, I added some twine, decoupaged a lifebuoy, the sentiment is computer generated and finally added some gold glitter,

~~I would like to enter some challenges but will do that a little later as this post is scheduled~~

JUST BECAUSE

Hi all, firstly I would like to thank you all so much for your lovely comments while I have not really been around

I have two shares for you today both a card and gift bag.

My first show is a card I made recently using one of my old Sugar Nellie stamps this one is called Daisy, I have coloured her with my usual markers, the papers are from a 12" x 12" pad that I got from the Range they are all double sided which worked well with this particular design.

I was watching Ann-Marie from Hunkydory on Create and Craft and saw her make a card with the cut and pulled back centre.

I really liked it and this is what I came up with, I used pink enamel dots on the corners, the flowers are Dreamees all stamped with TH Vintage Photo Ink then cut out, they look different because I actually pleated two of them, I then added clear beads in a bottle that come out white but turns clear when dried, they actually took on the colour of the papers.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

SIMON SAYS - ANYTHING GOES

613 AVENUE - ANYTHING GOES

COME AND GET IT - IN THE GARDEN

CRAFTY FRIENDS - ANYTHING GOES

CREATIVE COTTAGE - ANYTHING GOES

My second share is a gift bag that my son asked me to make, I watched some YT videos and saw this particular bag that was so easy I gave it ago.

I used a 12" x 12" papers, I used my scalloped punch on the top then added a double organza pink ribbon the oval was done with one of my dies.

The image is once again an Elisabeth Bell digi called Easter Cutie, I coloured her with Copics then cut her out with one of my new Tattered Lace Oval die the pink also is part of the set, I then added another Tattered Lace circle die, the Daisies are die cut with a pink flower pearl for their centres then finally I punched out a butterfly. This was filled with mini chocolate chickens and bunnies then my son gave it to his girlfriend for Easter.

I would like to enter my gift bag into the following challenges:

Here is my DT card using a stamped image that is in the old wooden block form from Penny Black she was one of the first ones I bought many moons ago

I coloured her with markers then stamped a sentiment, the flowers are also stamps that are from the Dreamees range, I stamped them onto backing paper then cut them out, I distressed the edges with TH Vintage photo ink, I also distressed the edges of all the papers, I added some buttons and pink organza bows. doily and liquid pearls drops.
