Our theme at Everybody Art Challenge is........

That is easy isn't it!! I lost yesterday as my stupid camera fell out with my computer so I created a pretty quick and easy card. I used the  Tilda Blowing Bubbles on Simon Says Stitched Rectangles, added the  Memory Box Large Ringlets both under and over the image panel - I inked them with the Markers.

Oooh.......I didn't think I was going to make it at all this week. My camera decided to to talk with my computer - it's been a bit antsy for a few weeks. On Sunday communication broke down all together so first thing this morning I took it to the camera vet. They will try and order another wire but have taught how to cope with it using the disc.
That was most of a day gone and now I'm just uploading my card.

Lifelong crafters Mother and Daughter, Mary and Andrea were tired of having to buy full rolls of ribbon and lace when they only needed one metre.  Because they love ribbons and all things pretty, they decided to open their own online shop in 2010 and make small quantities of beautiful products easily available to all crafters. Mary owns the shop and runs it on a day to day basis as well as keeping the website updated while Andrea looks after the social side,  The Ribbon Girl Blog and the Design Team. They specialise in supplying small (or large) quantities of ribbon, twine, gorgeous vintage style lace and seam binding ribbon, tiny pom-pom and ric-rac trim, all sorts of buttons, fancy pins, a multitude of charms, pearl and crystal flourishes, wool felt squares, seasonal and unusual embellishments, mulberry flowers, sticky tape and accessories to card makers, crafters, scrapbookers and cake decorators. They stock only the best quality products and only offer for sale goods that they would personally buy and use themselves

with this great prize

This week we are showcasing Crafter's Companion Spectrum Aqua Markers Essential and Floral and then my Tim Holtz Bird Crazy arrived and that was it - playtime began, sandly it didn't end for the next 2/3 days!!
I coloured all the images with the Aqua Markers and decided to make them backgrounds.
I played around at using the Crafter's Companion Aqua Markers to use background - I took
Ranger Water color paper paper and painted a coat with Gesso. I used the required markers
 a palette, added water on the paper and blended with a brush or and finger. I then stamped on the Lots of Dots stamp with various shapes and sizes. This was great fun and all turned out somewhat different!!


I couldn't make my mind up which to use so - I used them all and have made box (well almost made a box) to used as a gift set.



So now it's YOUR turn.  Happy Crafting

Less is More .........Case A DT card!!!_



The Less is More challenge this week is ........

CASE A DT CARD

I chose to Sarah's card as I had some just received some Prima  which I was looking forward to 'play' with. I decided I needed some baby cards so I made a shaker card and chose an old LOTV image which is coloured with Copics. 
I added the Crystal Glass Beads along with some Pink Blush Sequins. I used vellum to add the Baby Die embossed with Simon Says Stamp Silver Fine Embossing Powder. This is a lousy photograph and will try and get a better one in the morning!!

LIM....................One Layer - Include am Animal !!



The challenge at Less is More this week is........

One Layer - Include an Animal !!

 I use Simon Says Stamp White Cardstock 120lb for the card itself and use the image from Zoe at Make it Crafty - The White Rabbit and coloured him with Copic Markers.
I couldn't find any suitable sentiment so I used to generated one on my computer.

I love making the LIM cards. I am a very slow crafter and can take a day or more to create one card but with LIM I can start and finish within an hour or so - they might not be very good but it thrills me I can start and finish a card without having to stop and eat etc!!

We are showcasing Bazzill this week so I have used the Butter Mints and Warming Up Variety Pack.
I used one of my Mouse Mouse image - then I found it was not in stock - ooops!!!
I started again using the Sampendous Forget Me Nots - they are not blue as forget me nots are so your will have to imagine the are yellow and daffodils!!
The top layer of the image is use Bazzill White Vellum and embossed with a Cuttlebug
Seeing Spots


I cut away the outside part of the card with Simon Says Stamp Bracket Die and this is the inside part and kept it very simple and just added the Simon Says Fresh Daisies at the side. (A lousy photo!!)
