Engineering Some Fun

Hello All

Thank you for popping by. Todays creation is ready for the new challenge at Penny's Paper Crafty, where this week we would like to see you 'Use Something From Your Stash'. We have two sponsors this time,  Inky Impressions and Paper Creator.

I was given a Paper Creator image to play with, which came pre-coloured. I have simply decoupaged him up to give some depth, and then used glossy accents to give his glasses a more realistic look - only problem is, I used crackle glaze by mistake, so he looks like he has broken his glasses - dooohhhh. The ruler down the side of the card is some washi tape from my crafty stash, and the sentiment is a retired stamp from Stampin Up.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Retarte - anything goes

Through The Craft Room Door - anything goes

Hand Stamped Sentiments - sketch

Crafting From The Heart - anything goes

Get Creative - birthday

AAA - anything goes

Brown Sugar - anything goes

and

Creative Corner - happy birthday

I hope you will take time to join in the challenge - all the team would love to see your creations.

Thanks for stopping by, and I'll be back really soon.

Animal Parade

Hello Again.

Todays creation is for the new challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty, where this week we have a nice and easy 'Anything Goes' theme. Our sponsors this time round are Bugaboo Stamps and Lacy Sunshine.

I have done a very simple card using the Bugaboo stamp I was given, All I have done is simply printed it, matted it onto a black layer and coloured with ProMarkers, and finally finished it with a sentiment. I love this image, it is so fun and would suit people of all ages. It would also lend itself very well to being decoupaged up, but unfortunately time did not allow for that today.

Please pop over to the main blog and check out the other DT creations, or better still join in the fun.

I'd like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Retarte - anything goes
