Dinosaur on the loose..............

Well it's time for another challenge at CRAFT. We've a fun challenge this week:
Anything but a card
I had to get my thinking cap on for this and decided on a name plaque for my 4 year old.
The papers that I've used are all from our sponsor this week, Toucan Scraps.
The winner this week will get to choose something from Angelas shop
Here's my dinosaur plaque:



This started out as a round 6.5" circle of wood that I got from hobbycraft. I've used the dinosaur digi paper pack from Toucan scraps. For the leaves I've used a punch and my Slice machine. The letters are also made using my Slice. There's also a brown distress inks around the image and on the leaves. I've used some black gems and leaf sequins to decorate it. The digi image is from Stitchy bear stamps that I've coloured in with Promarkers.
Thanks for looking. x

I've used Lexis cute baby bear image which is available from Fairy Dust Crafts or StitchyBear Stamps


The cute bear image was coloured in with Promarkers and stickles glitter. The papers are from My minds eye. The flowers and pin I've had for a while and can't remember where they were from!! I've used some pink distress ink round the edge and pearl dots.

Tilda card...

I've been playing with Tilda again, here she is all sweet in pink. For this card I followed a sketch from A Gem of a challenge.

What do you think of my new watermark? Isn't it fab, it was designed by Sentiments 4 you, I can highly recommend them, such quick service and great sentiments.





Tilda is coloured in with Promarkers which glitter on the flowers and hair bows. The papers I've used are all from a Anna Griffin mat pack except for the plain pink which is from Craftwork cards as are the card candy and Grandma sentiment.

One for the boys...

Time for a boys card I thought. CRAFT challenge this week has a challenge called 'in the roll of a die' The design team have made cards using die cuts, but we'd love to see your interpretation of the theme. The sponsor this week is Die-Cut dreams




The lucky winner gets these gorgeous die cuts Valentine cupcakes



Here's my card,


The digi image is from digi doddle shop and it called boy with ball which I've coloured in with Promarkers. I've used nesabilities dies to cut out the image and for the sentiment stamp. The footballs were made using the Sports design card in my Slice machine.
I've also used lots of distress inks around the edges of things and some liquid crystal touch (pebeo) dots. The ribbon is from Crafty ribbons and finally the papers are made by craft creations.

Thanks for looking x
