Floral Barrow

It's time for a new Crafty Catz Challenge.

Our sponsor is All Dressed up

and this is one of their images called

Garden Wheel Barrow.

The optional theme is Summer

I have kept this card clean and simple. The image has been coloured with Polychromo pencils.  The edge of the base card has been coloured with distress ink through a brick wall stencil. Then I have die cut the sentiment in gray. I think the use of the gray make the flowers in the wheelbarrow look bright and summery.

The days and months go by so quick.

So here at Critter Crazy it's time for a new challenge.

The theme is Anything Goes

as long as a critter is the main image on your card.

For my card this month I've gone with a monochrome theme. The cat and mouse are a stencil which I have just used black and gray distress ink. I've used the same colours around the edge of another layer of card. These have been layered up on a white card base. I have then just added a sentiment on the side.

Scrap use

It's new challenge day at the Crafty Catz challenge.

The theme this time is "For a Boy"

There is no sponsor this week.

If your like me I have lots of pieces of patterned paper left and I really don't like to throw them away. So this is an easy way to use them up that is really effective and perfect for those men we know.

For my masculine cards I've decided to make use of some left over small pieces of patterned papers. It's really easy to just take various lengths and widths of patterned papers layer them on a co-ordinating plain card. Then just lay them out in an interesting design. These two have had some card candy, die cut stars and a button added for decoration.

Tiny Tiger

It's April Fools day and Easter bank holiday Monday here in the UK.

But it's also the start of a new challenge at

The Critter Crazy Challenge.

Our theme is always anything goes

but please make a critter the main image on your card.

I've coloured this cute Tiger with polychromo pencils. The base card is Kraft card and I've used a stencil and oxide inks to create the base pattern. Two pieces of tiger stripe patterned paper have been added. The birthday sentiment is stamped in brown Versafine Clair ink. Then some tiger stripe card candi decorates the corners.

Use an Embossing Folder

This image from our sponsor is called Wearing Spring. She has been coloured with polychromo pencils.

I have also used the backing paper that goes with this image. This has been embossed with a leaf patterned folder.

I have taken another square of red card and put that through the same folder. It's then been cut in half diagonally and placed on each corner of the image. Then I've just added a birthday sentiment.

A Paler Shaded Owl

It's new challenge time over at the Crafty Catz.

Our sponsor this week is Di's Digi Stamps.

The theme this week is Monochrome.

I love this cute little owl image. So I've used him again for this weeks challenge inspiration. I've coloured him with polychromo pencils but in a paler colourway than the version I've shared recently. He's put on top of layers of patterned papers. I've then just added a tag with the sentiment on.
