Spots and Stripes

 Good Morning :)

A quick post today about my C4E challenge card.

The challenge this week is Spots and Stripes and you can find all the details, gorgeous DT inspiration and entry HERE.

We also have a DT call running at the moment so if you fancy joining us check out the details HERE.

 

 My card today is a simple one, just a few strips of gorgeous DP's from the Fancy Pants "The Good Life" collection. I've used the 6x6" pad which is perfect for cards.

The strips have been layered onto a piece of white cardstock, some strips are lifted up on 3D foam for added dimension.

 I stamped onto the card using a Bo Bunny arrow stamp from the Mama Razzi Collection, the stamp didn't take too well on the raised sections unfortunately :(

The card was finished off with Stickles and My Minds Eye flocked chipboard alphas.

I'm busy getting ready for tomorrows classes at the monthly C4E crop.

There are some spaces left, so if you fancy coming along for coffee, cake and lots of crafting drop me an email at crafts4eternity@aol.co.uk.

Thanks for stopping by

have a fabulous weekend!

Tic Tac Toe With Love card

 Hello everyone :)

It's all go here at the moment getting ready for this months C4E crop, but I did manage to squeeze in a quick card for this weeks C4E Recipe Challenge.
All the challenge details and entry can be found
HERE.

 

I've used a technique I will be teaching  at this Sundays crop (12th May) called Multi Medium resist.

It's a great technique! Unfortunately it doesn't photograph well :(  If you click on the photos to enlarge them it might show a little better. 

 I chose Pink, 3 of something (3 pearl gems) and Bling from the Tic Tac Toe board for the card.

I have used a couple of Tim Holtz dies, Torn Notebook on the edge die and Sewing room.

Lots of paint, distress inks, stickles and gems.

The flowers are from Wild Orchid, must get some more I'm running low! And the DP is Bo Bunny Isabella.

The card is very sparkly IRL, and has more dimension than the photos show.

I will leave you with this last photo of my craft space! 

There are loads of projects on the go at the moment for the crop and I have had deliveries, but most of the mess is from making one simple card!

This all has to be cleared by tonight so I can pack for the crop lol!

Thanks for stopping by

Have fun!

Cupcakes

Hello everyone :)

We have lovely sunshine here today and I have a layout to share with you :)
Cupcakes was the February Crop layout and kit. (available HERE)
The Creativity Prompt was Loves of your life. Each month I try to encourage the ladies to scrap about different topics. We all scrap about our family and special events but what about the everyday things that make us the people we are?
This month I asked the ladies to try to scrap about something they love but to avoid the more obvious topics such as family.



I chose cupcakes :) I love to bake cupcakes and create new flavours and toppings. Sadly I don't get as much baking time as I once had but when I do get chance to put on my apron and cover the kitchen with flour, (am I the only one who manages to cover everything with flour? lol!) I am in heaven :)


I have used the new Vintage Love Tickets, ribbon, lace, ric rac, embroidery thread and lots of punches to create this layout.


All the instructions along with the creativity prompt are included in the kit available HERE.
I'm off to enjoy a little sunshine!
Have fun!
Michele :)
