Come for a Cuppa

It's time for a new challenge at

The Crafty Catz.

Our Sponsor this week is

Last Minute Manda.

This is one of their images called

Shabby Chic Cups and Books.

Our optional theme this time is

Feminine.

So it's a girly theme this time. So I've picked some pale colours and lace in the background. This very relaxing image has been coloured with polychromo pencils. The images has been framed on two sides with white lace.

The sentiment has been die cut. Then just some toning card candy to decorate the corners. I think it looks very feminine.

Sunset Bunnies

I was really pleased that my card was picked as a winner and I was invited to be a guest DT member for April over at

Farm Quest General Store.

Their theme is something farm or country,

I made a card like this some years back and decided to try and recreate it for a friends birthday. It uses Clarity Stamps products and a bit of masking. The sun is done through a hole stencil, then the sky is done by dragging a distress ink pad across the card. The bunnies are stamped next then masked off. The log stamp comes next, then that is masked off . Finally the reeds and weeds are put on. When all the masks are removed you should be left with this lovely scene you are bound to find in a quiet corner of a farm. A simple sentiment completes this card.

Hearty Anniversary

It's time for a new challenge at

The Crafty Catz.

We have no sponsor this time so the theme is

Anything Goes

I was in need of a last minute Anniversary card so I thought I could do something really quick and simple. So this card is a brown and cream background layer, The hearts have been punched out of 2 brown pieces of card, one the same as the background and one darker shade. The the hearts have been linked together using a gold liner pen with some yellow gems along them. The anniversary sentiment is stamped in brown.

Love My Doggie

It's hard to believe that the first quarter of  the year has already gone.

So as we go into another month we have a new challenge at

The Critter Crazy Challenge

Our theme is anything as long as the focal point of your creation is a critter.

Plus if your creation is now picked in one of the winners sections you will be invited to be a guest design team member.

I've gone monochrome with lovely little doggie. He has been coloured with polychromo pencils. The top left of the background card has been done using a stencil and a very pale gray distress ink. Just a single black layer around the image. Then completed with really nice sentiment.

I've kept this card quite simple as I think this is just a simple cute image.
