Good morning, I hope you all had a wonderful weekend. It's time for anther challenge from 

Through The Purple Haze

& this week we are sponsored by the lovely

Crafty Sentiments

& we have a photo for you to take inspiration from

I took my inspiration from the colours, using the pinks, purples & blues when I made my card using

Looking Up

& here it is,

 The card I made is for a special young lady who is starting school in September, I hope she likes it

My background paper is a digi one & I recoloured it in Craft Artist

I used my cameo it write the tag & then cut it out.

The image, as always, is coloured with my promarkers.

I finished it all off with some ribbon, gems & a glittery butterfly. 

Thanks so much for stopping by & I do hope you'll join us in this weeks challenge.

Good morning & welcome to the latest challenge from 

Creative Fingers Challenges

this week we have been lucky enough to be sponsored by the lovely

Polka Doodles

& our theme, as always, is Anything Goes, with the optional twist of Use Purple

& here is my make

I made a gatefold card, which is probably my least used card fold,  it's good to try do something you rarely do 

My DP is from Papermania & all my embellishments were cut on my cameo, I really must give cammy a name lol

The floral doily was coloured using a spray I made using ground up chalk pastels in hot water, it gives a fab colour coverage I must say.

The image is called Poppy & you can find her here & I coloured her up using my promarkers..

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

Through The Purple Haze Challenges #32

Good morning everyone, I hope you all had a great weekend. The sun was actually out here in County Wicklow, I hope it means Spring is on it's way. 

I'm here today with my makes for this weeks challenge from 

Through The Purple Haze Challenges

Both Teams A & B are joining in on this challenge & we have 2 sponsors:

Milk Coffee

The lucky winner will get 5 images from the store.

Our other sponsor this week is 

craftsUprint

You'll find something for every occasion & theme at craftsUprint & there's freebies available to everyone too. 

Our theme this week is

Digital Elements

& I have 2 projects to show you, one from each sponsor, & here they are 

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:

Cupcake Inspirations: Photo inspiration - Butterfly cupcakes

Craftss Galore Encore: Use a stamp or digi

Jellypark Friends Friday Challenges: Things with wings

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

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:

All Crafts Challenge: Anything but a card

Kaboodle Doodle: Anything but a square

So there you have it & if you made it to the bottom of this post well done lol.

Through The Purple Haze - Double team head to head.

Good morning bloggers, I hope you all had a fab weekend. This morning I am sharing with you my make for our double team head to head at 

Through The Purple Haze

All of us girls on Team A have been sponsored by

Stitchy Bear

& the image I got to play with is Dandy Lion by Kassal Digi Stamps

who a offering the winner $10 voucher to spend in the store.

Our theme this week is 

Anything Goes

& here is my make.

I used designer papers from my stash to layer onto brown cardstock. 

I coloured my image in with my promarkers & cut it out, I then added it to a frame I had cut with my dies. I also die some stars, buttons & a tag for the sentiment, which is simply DAD, also die cut. 

I wanted a border around my tag so I simply drew around the outside of the die & cut it out. I used so off cuts of red mirri I had in my bit box. 

I wasn't quite happy with this make, but it's kind of growing on me lol. 

Thanks so much for stopping by, be sure to check out what the rest of the girls have come up with.

Big hugs,

Teresa.

The Stamping Chef, New Release - Fail to bail.

Good morning blogland, it's Friday again, yipppeeee, so that means a new release from the fantabulous

The Stamping Chef

She is called Fail to Bail & you find her in the Specials Category (for a special price for the weekend only)

& here is my make, oh I do so love her :)

I decided to use no designer papers as I thought some inking would suit her well :) 

I inked up my background onto white card using black soot distress ink, then dropped some water droplets onto it & soaked that up with some kitchen roll. I then used a mask to highlight areas, again using black soot. I used a die to cut out the tag & buckle. The sentiment has been stamped with versamark, I then heat set after sprinkling bonding powder onto it & finished it off with some silver foil.

For the plate the digi is mounted on I again inked up white card, this time using firedbrick. I used another mask, adding more black soot & cut out the shape. 

She has been coloured with my promarkers, oh I'd so love hair like that lol.

Thanks so much for stopping by, be sure to stop by The Stamping Chef blog to see what the rest of the new release DT has come up with.
