Crafty Calendar 'Cold & Frosty' Challenge

Hello again, if you called by looking for my My Time To Craft post you will find it below this post.

Right it's the first Saturday of the month and that means it is time for a new challenge at Crafty Calendar Challenge. This month we are challenged to 'Cold and Frosty' perfect for this moment in time!

When I came to making this card I was really stuck for what image to use as there are so many possibilities but after I spotted this mitten border by Miss Kate Cuttables in the Silhouette Store I went straight for this snowman image by Stitchy Bear called 'Snowman Trio'. I used pattern paper from the Dovercraft 'Ho Ho Ho' collection. Embossed a panel using the Cuttlebug Snowflake folder and then a snowflake die cut from the Tim Holtz Mini Snowflakes die covered in Glamour Dust.

Supplies:-

6" Square Card Blank - Boyes

Card Stock - Bazzill

Designer Papers - Dovercraft 'Ho Ho Ho'

Image - Stitchy Bear 'Snowman Trio'

Medium - Promarkers & Flexmarkers

Embossing - Cuttlebug A2 Snowflake Folder

Crafty Calendar 'All Things Christmas' & My Time To Craft 'Quilt It' Challenge.

Good morning all, brrr it has turned really cold and rainy here I hope it is better where you are.

Today see's the start of 2 new challenges and because I am still not up to speed with my crafting I joined them together. At Crafty Calendar Challenge we have the challenge of 'All Things Christmas' and we are sponsored by the wonderful Elisabeth Bell who gave us some beautiful images to play with. Then over at My Time To Craft Challenge we have the challenge of 'Quliting'.

Before I get onto my card I just wanted to let you know that My Time To Craft are having a DT Call so if you fancy creating with your own images and supplies this could be the team for you plus we are all really really friendly. We are looking for around 5 people, plenty of places to go around so if you fancy it just add DT after your name when you enter the challenge.

For my card I used a quilting block template from the Silhouette store by Snapdragon Snippets although most of it is covered up lol. I cut this out of some -- papers and then stitched them on my machine, can you see the wonky stitching I thought this would be easier than drawing the stitching on but oh so much more stressful. I used the print and cut feature on my silhouette to cut the image out of the frame background, then cut this pretty frame front by Skyber Lowen from card stock which I then triple embossed and added glamour dust to the final coat. It doesn't really show well in the photo but it really is glossy and sparkly. The sentiment was a freebie from Create With TLC and I also added some holly and berries (after putting glossy accents on the berries) by Rivka Wilkins again from the Silhouette Store.

Sparkles Monthly 'Fairies & Butterflies' Challenge

Good morning all, well what can I say the post's are still few and far between due to no real improvement with my health so please bear with me whilst it sort's itself out.

Anyhow, it is time for another challenge at Sparkles Monthly and this month we are challenging you to 'Fairies & Butterflies', we want to see them both in some form. Our sponsor this month is the wonderful Lili Of The Valley who are offering a £10 gift voucher for one lucky winner.

For my card I chose these My Minds Eye papers because of the butterflies and they are in colours that I would normally avoid but I actually had fun with them. I guess it is good to be out of our comfort zone at times, because of my back and such I coloured this adorable Elisabeth Bell image over a whole week! and each section I coloured I kept thinking I'm not sure about these colours but I can't possibly start again lol By the end I was glad I had stuck with it, had it of been coloured under normal circumstances it would of gone in the bin after just colouring the flower without a second thought so I guess my health was actually a positive in this case lol. Enough of the rambling, I added glamour dust to her fairy wings after lightly colouring. The bobble trim is also from My Mind's Eye, it was a kit I had a couple of years ago but cannot remember the name of and then the white ribbon was in my stash.
