Giving Thanks

Welcome!

The challenge at Crafting by Designs was published on Wednesday 14 May 2014.
Our theme this week is: Thank You.

We have the fabulous Rick St Dennis as our generous sponsor. We received a beautiful image to play with. I decided, after much deliberation, to use the French Flower Cart.

If you visit his online store, you will find out exactly why it is so difficult to pick an image. There are so many beauties! This is what I came up with:

The image was coloured with my pencils (ordinary & aquarelles). The background of the image and card was created with my favourite pastels. I used fine liners to create a frame of  'thank yous'.

There are so many things to give thanks for daily: Good health, family, friends, sunshine, rain, food, a roof over our heads, a friendly smile…this list can go on.

Come and join us with your thankful creation before the 21^st of May!

Dressed for the Party!

Welcome!

Time for another challenge at Crafting by Designs!

Rick St Dennis is our sponsor for the Anything Goes with a Christmas Twist! challenge.

This time of the year always reminds me of the Christmas functions and the search for the right dress to wear! That is the reason for my choice of the gorgeous Deco Ziegfeld Girl to create my card! I would love to have a dress like this to wear to a Christmas party:

I coloured her with various pencils, fussy cut her and then added some glitter.
The card was prepared with layers of dark green card, mottled cream card, some gold thread and a gorgeous gold ribbon. Miss Ziegfeld was added with foam tape.

Come and have a look at the gorgeous creations made by the Design Team and while you are there, enter the challenge!

Many folds!

Welcome!

I've been rather lazy posting the past month or so!

Have patience, I'll catch up, but for today, I would like to enter the 'A Card with Many Folds' Challenge over at The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.

Cards with interesting folds intrigue me, but I must confess, when I get to the 15th little triangle or little shape that I must cut & measure, I always wonder what possessed me. Eventually, when it all gets together and everything is stuck down, I'm normally pleased with the results.

 

Here is my Diamond fold card using the Jaunty 1892 Hat Digistamp by RickStDennis  inside the card. The papers are bits from my stash. Final touch is an organza bow.

Here it is closed. ( I'm still working on a closure.)

I'm entering it in the Lunagirl Moonbeams Autumn Challenge - Autumn colours
