Bug Love

Today is  the start of a new challenge at

The Crafty Catz.

Our Sponsor this week is Sheepski designs

and this is one of their images called

Love Bugs

Our theme this time is

embellishments

I 've coloured these cute ladybirds with polychromo pencils. I used a strong coloured patterned paper to match the bugs, which are layered with gold mirror card. For the lovely embellishment part I've used sheer gold ribbon with a bow and matching red flowers and leaves. The birthday sentiment has been die cut in gold card too.

It's new challenge day at The Crafty Catz.

Our sponsor this week is

Hetty Clair

and this is one of her images called

Pony Flower.

This image is at a reduced price right now, so a great time to purchase.

The theme this week is masculine.

This cute image has been coloured with Polychromo Pencils. The background triangles are wood panel patterned card. Then a die cut sentiment cut twice in different colours then offset to show it off a bit more. A really quick and easy design ideal for men's cards.

Horse of a different colour

New month, new challenge at the Critter Crazy Challenge.

Our theme is Anything Critter Goes

so please make sure that the animal is the main focus of your card.

This seahorse is a stencil from Sweet Poppy Stencils called Fairy Seahorse. I've used stencils paste through the stencil and then sprinkled mica powders over. I've then heated it with a heat gun and the stencil paste bubbles when it is heated and gives a textured surface. There is silver alcohol  ink sponged onto the card behind the seahorse to just take the plainness off the background. It's layered onto some patterned paper. some of which has had a die cut with a wavy border. Then just a sentiment and some card candy to finish.
