Guest Designer at Quirky Crafts

Hi Crafters,

I was lucky enough to win a recent challenge at the Quirky Crafts challenge blog and I was asked to join in this week as Guest Designer - thank you Cazzy.

The challenge theme this fortnight is 'For The Quirky Girls' and as an added challenge you must only use two colours apart from skin and hair colour.

I hope I've met the requirements with this red and green card although I have some white in there too.

Meet 'Missy' she is a fabulous digital image from Jiggery Makery on Etsy.

She is coloured with my Letraset Pro/flexmarkers and I have added a sprinkling of glitter strands to the edges of her dress and hat.

I've used core'dinations card stock with a Sue Wilson embossing folder - Swirling Holly and a Cuttlebug folder for the dotty snow background.

My sentiments are Britannia Christmas Word Dies and Clearly Besotted 'Husband' word stamp and die from the 'My Hero' sets.

...and lastly a Tonic 'Festive Gift' die which I have backed with coloured card.

She's a bit saucy isn't she? but I love her.

Guest DT Spot at Quirky Crafts Challenge

Hi Crafters,
A couple of weeks ago I won the challenge at Quirky Crafts and was then asked if I would like to do a guest spot on their next challenge. Well, of course I said 'Yes please'!
The challenge this time is called 'Quirky Frame It' - there are some great sponsors for the challenge so why not join in? Here is my project which I hope will give you some inspiration to enter the challenge yourself.

Isn't this a gorgeous image? It's from The East Wind Etsy shop. I coloured her using my Promarkers and she measured 8 1/2 x 12 1/2 cm. after I had printed her out.
The frame is constructed from Kraft card which I embossed with a wood-grain embossing folder and inked with Gathered Twigs Distress Ink. I cut the four sections of the frame and curved them before adhering to the backing card to make it dimensional. Here is a side view so that hopefully you can see the dimension.

   I was really pleased that this turned out just as I had envisioned it in my head. This doesn't always happen, lol.
I would like to enter this in to some challenges...
