Kraftyhands April 2016 Challenge

Welcome to a new challenge at Kraftyhands. We hope you will all join in.

The theme this month is based on this colour chip

"Red, White, Blue and Shield"

The lucky winner will receive a £10 Kraftyhands voucher if they have used a Kraftyhands product.

A full set of the rules are on the blog.

I've made a 6"x 6" (15cm x 15cm) card. I wanted to keep it simple as not to detract from the fabulous florals. The papers are from the Kraftyhands Seeds of Love CD and mat and layered on white card.

I used the decoupage image of these gorgeous red roses from Card Making Set #4 on the Seeds of Love CD. I printed it out onto glossy photo paper for extra shine and mounted the layers up with foam pads.

I hand cut a shield shape and gold embossed the edges and a circle in the centre. Both sentiments and the flower are from the CD.
I finished the card with three blue gems.

Please visit the Kraftyhands Challenge Blog for a full set of the challenge rules and to view the inspirational creations from my talented team mates. This challenge runs until the end of the month. Remember to be a follower of the challenge blog to qualify for entry.

Kraftyhands September 2015 Challenge

Today is the start of the September challenge at Kraftyhands. We had a break with the challenge for August while things were shuffled round but we've stuck to the previously announced theme of

"Quilts & Patchwork"

This challenge is just for fun. A full set of the rules are on the blog.

I made a patchwork card for August but I thought I'd make a new one for September.

I printed one of the woodgrain papers from the Seeds of Love CD and fixed it to an 8"x 8" card blank. I inked around the edges with Brushed Corduroy DI.

All the papers and images are from the Butterfly Botanicals CD. I created a patchwork of mats for the various images and inked all the edges. I printed the butterflies twice so I could give them some dimension. I punched the words out and mounted them on buttons as a frame.

I used maps and some of the smaller elements on the CD to decorate the other panels and finished the card with metal butterflies and a cabochon rose.

I'm now going to be busy making some samples from a gorgeous new CD. It is called Totally Tiffany Craft and is the first CD in our fabulous new format. It's already available for pre-order in the Kraftyhands shop.
