Crafty Sentiments Digital Designs Challenge 6 ~ Distressing

Gosh can you believe its Thursday again already!  The week has flown by but that does of course mean its challenge time over at Crafty Sentiments Digi Design Blog and this week the theme is 'Distressing' now you really need to pop over to the rest of the DT's blogs and check out all the loveliness they have created to inspire you.  For my card I have used the lovely Pat in Summer and I decided to try a technique that was new to me (although I'm sure there are plenty of you out there who already know all about this one!)  I have printed and coloured Pat using copics and a touch of sakura stardust and then I have applied the 'cracked glass' technique.  I was drawn to this technique because of having to put it in the freezer!  I really couldnt imagine putting any of my craft stuff in the freezer but hey ho I'll try most things once and this is one I'll definately do again, I really like how this works and it is so simple too, another reason for it being a technique for me!lol  For the rest of my card I have use MME Bloom & Grow papers which I have roughed the edges of then inked, I have used Coredinations CS which I have sanded, the inner circle is Coredination Whitewash CS which I first embossed then sanded to get the inner core of blue to show through and I finished off with a layered Bloom & Grow flower with a brad from my stash.

And here is an image to show the cracked glass effect better.  I rubbed some ink into the finished image to highlight the cracks better.  The only thing I did notice while I was doing all the heat embossing is that my clear powder has actually picked up quite a bit of other colours and some glitter along the way! lol!

So what are you waiting for? Pop on over to Crafty Sentiments Digi Design Blog and check out our challenge, there is a prize for the winner of the challenge too.  Come on over and play along with us 'Go on You know You want to!'

Crafty Sentiments Digital Designs Challenge 5 ~ Tag It

Ok folks its Thursday which means its time for Challenge 5 over at Crafty Sentiments Digi Designs Blog and the challenge this week is Tag It (make a tag) So I opted for a tag book.  I used mountboard for the covers then cut some paper for the inside, covered the tags with DCWV glitter stack then added Fairy Pat coloured with copics and some stardust who is available to purchase at Crafty Sentiments Store, imatted her on some pink card and both are cut using my nesties.  Tied the book with some pink organza ribbon after binding it with my trusty Bind It All and then added pink metallic peeloff letter for Li'l Ideas so that I can keep it close by for jotting down ideas and then keeping them in a safe place.

Now if you come along and join in the fun this week there is a chance of winning 2 Crafty Sentiment Digi Stamps of your choice, and dont forget if you enter using one of the Crafty SEntiment Digi stamps you will be entered twice into the draw.  Be sure to check out the rest of the fabulous DT they have all been busy making some gorgeous tags to inspire you.

For my card I have used the delightful Pat as a Mermaid available to purchase at Crafty Sentiments Store and I have coloured her using copics and tried my hand at the feathering technique of colouring.  I based my colours around the disney character or Ariel the little mermaid.  My papers are Me & My Big Ideas, flowers are Prima E-line the charm is actually an old necklace with a broken chain adn the peeloff lettering is a metallic green/blue colour so fitted perfectly with the card, I added a little bit of stickles Iced lace to the flower centre too.  Ok thats my card now pop over to Crafty Sentiments Digi Design Blog and check out our challenge and hopefully take part too, 'Go on You know You want to!'
