& they are offering $10 to spend in store to the winner 

& also

Nikki Burnette

& the winner will get 5 images from the store.

Both these artist have beautiful digi art work & it's always a pleasure to use them in my project.

Our theme for this challenge is

Easter

& here is my make using Sleepy Bunny Elf from Aurora Wings

Once I got my image I decided to make a 3d project. I am going to put some mini eggs in it & give it to my son for Easter.

Both the tree & the fence box were cut with my cameo. I assembled them & added touches of glitter.

I coloured the image up using flex & promarkers. I then cut him out & added him to the edge of the box

I cut out some layered egg shapes & added them to the branches, cause we all know easter eggs grow on trees right?? lol

This project is cute & simple but I think it's also quite effective.

Thanks so much for stopping by & I do hope you'll join us with your Easter makes.

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

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

USE A DIGI

Kenny K

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

My sentiment was also cut out on the cameo & I inked the back panel of it in peeled paint. I added some thread to buttons & stuck them on. 

I hope you'll join us this week & thanks so much for stopping by.

So I took the opportunity to try a new card style. I had wanted to make a Pop Up Box Card for a while & found a tutorial here for one out of A4 card, I'm now working on larger ones from A4 too. Anyway, here is my take

My papers were from my stash & all the embellishments were cut on my Cameo, some of which I got from Birds Cards, if you haven't already checked out this fab site you really need to. Beautiful digi stamps & cutting files.

Good morning to all you early birds :) & welcome to a new challenge from 

Fairy Challenge Blog

We have 2 great sponsors for you for this challenge

Crafty Sentiments

& also

Inky Impressions

& here is my make

This is one of those cards that I pictured in my mind, but just couldn't get it how I wanted it to look. Looking at it again I think I should have done more in the background, but isn't she a cutie.

I coloured her up with my promarkers & added touches of glitter to her wings.

I used my cameo to cut out the clouds (which I glittered), the fence, the grass & also the flowers. 

Thanks so much for stopping by & I hope you'll join in.
