Creative Fingers Challenges #51

Good morning & welcome to the weekend, yipppeeee

It's also time for another challenge from

Creative Fingers Challenges

& for this challenge we are sponsored by the lovely

Crafty Sentiments

Our theme this week is, as always, anything goes, with the optional twist of Fall

& here is my make

I got to use Blitz

I printed off a digi background of an outdoor scene, I then cut out lots & lots of leaf shapes using my cameo, I cut them from cream card & went to work on them with my distress inks. I used the cameo again to cut a bare tree & designed a layered sentiment.

I then put it all together, layering the leaves. Some were stuck flat & some were raised using foam pads, I added the digi to make it look like she was playing in the leaves

I used a different skin combo of Apricot, coral, oatmeal & pastel pink for my skin colour & I quite like it. Her clothes are all in different combos of browns & her hair using caramel, mustard, tulip yellow & buttercup.

So, there ya have it, thanks so much for stopping by.

I would like to enter the following challenges:

A Creative Romance: In the garden

Brown Sugar: Autumn/Fall

Creative Fingers Challenges - Beccy's Place

Good morning folks, yippppeeee it's Friday. I hope you all have a fantastic weekend. I'm here this morning with another great challenge from

Creative Fingers Challenges

& this week we are sponsored by

Beccy's Place

You're bound to find something you like over at the store, so do pop by. 

Our theme this week is, as always, Anything Goes & we have an optional twist of Use a Sentiment

Here is my make for this week's challenge, using the very cute Beary Loving

I started off by making a 6"x6" card base from Ivory hammered cardstock. I then cut a gorgeous mat, I cut it from white card as I wasn't sure what colour scheme I was going for, I cut my sentiment & the banner from the same card.

After playing around for a wee while I decided on a monochrome card

The image was coloured in with my promarkers, in various shades of browns

I inked up the sentiment with Vintage Photo distress ink & then used a woodgrain stamp to stamp over it in Walnut Stain

I inked the banner in Vintage photo & again stamped over it with Walnut Stain. My mat was inked with Antique Linen & Vintage Photo, I then stamped the cute music stars on it randomly. 

I used pinflair to stick my image down so I could add some dimension.

So, there you have it, thanks so much for stopping by & I really do appreciate all your lovely comments.

I decided to make a shadow box using Fiona The Fairy from Milk Coffee, you can find her here

I cut the shadowbox frame using a cutting file, I inked it using distress inks & made it up. I then cut a frame to cover the top, as I thought it looked neater, I stamped this with little flower stamps & distress ink. I used some butterfly embossed paper to cover the back panel & attached it. I also made a little stand, so it will be able to freestand.

It's going to be a present for a little girl in my son's class so I cut her name out, again using the cameo, along with some butterflies, a flourish & I rolled a rose.

I coloured the image itself using promarkers & added touches of glitter to her wings, the hearts on the cupcake & the flower in her hair.

I would like to enter this into the following challenges:

.................................................................................................................................

For my craftUprint project I made a tag using this file, it came as a decoupage card front so I deconstructed it a bit & used just the image itself & some of the decoupage layers. 

I inked up a large tag & added some layers to it, stamping the top one.

I used my cameo to cut out the layered sentiment & various different elements. I added highlights of glitter to some of them & finished off with some organza ribbon

I would like to enter my tag into the following challenges:

I knew I wanted to make a boy/man's card, as I don't seem to make enough of them, so I picked

the Boy Gamer digi & here is my make

I started off with a white card base & layered some green digi paper onto it, I then printed the same paper in blue & randomly stamped with distress inks, I used peeled paint & faded denim. I then inked the edges with the peeled paint My gaming paper is from The Paper Shelter, I brought it into CraftArtist & layered 2 of the same paper on each other & played around with the layers to give me a greener colour.

I used my promarkers to colour the image & cut it out on the cameo

The Stamping Chef - NR Mirror Mirror.

Good morning beautiful people, it's a cold one here in County Wicklow, but to brighten this grey day we have this week's new release from

The Stamping Chef

& as usual it's a beauty, she's called Mirror Mirror & you can find her here

Now before I share my make with you I want to remind you to pop by the blog to check out all the fun stuff going on for the 1st birthday of TSC & if you aren't already a member of our Facebook group, you can find us here

So, here is my make.

I adore her. For my card I used black cardstock as my mats & layered red cardstock onto it. The red had been stamped (for the back layer) & the top layer has a mask used on it. I used black soot distress ink.

I cut out a piece of coredinations with a die, ran it through an embossing folder & sanded it back. I then tied a bow & added it to one corner, using card candi in another.

I used my promarkers to colour the image. I then cut it out & mounted it onto the die cut, & there you have it. I kept it quite simple as I thought I'd let the image do the talking so to speak 

Thanks so much for stopping by, I really do appreciate it.
