A happy hello and good morning to you all. Dawn H here with a little bit more inspiration for our anything but square or rectangle challenge. I've used one of my favourite Crafters Companion SWALK stamps, she's perfect for princesses young or not so young lol.
We're all loving the entries so far. So please keep them coming, remember there is a crafters companion voucher to be won.
Enjoy your crafting x
Good afternoon, Dawn H here sharing some more inspiration for our challenge of anything but square or rectangle on over on our challenge blog.
I made this card using some goodies from that craft place, I'm just loving the papers. For the image I heat embossed just one layer of clear powder to add to the vintage feel as it makes the white card translucent in places. I coloured the image with distress inks.
Seeing as the challenge is all about shape I wanted to incorporate this into the whole design using a variety of shapes that I think work well together. All these shapes are nestabilities, using four different sets. The hearts are die cut from chipboard and covered. Why hearts? Well in my pack from Lisa was a lovely little heart embellishment that I wanted to use, I just altered the colour with alcohol ink, punched a heart and added it to the little bouquet of flowers, which were pink so I altered them with pro markers. Hope you like my sample and I know we're all lookin forward to seeing more of your entries into the challenge.
How about a handbag shaped card, or a flower pot with flowers, or a Pentagon shape folded in half makes a funky base. Or how about a teddy shape or triangular shape. The possibilities are endless, enjoy creating something a bit different and good luck to all entrants x bye for now , dawn x
Dawn H here with a little bit more inspiration for our current challenge on that craft place challenge blog. I made a cascade card and used some gorgeous stamps from do crafts. The images are coloured using pro markers. Lisa stocks a wide range of their products and this card would work well with other stamped images, toppers, embellishments. You can make it as simple or fussy as you'd like and it'll still look fab. Perhaps have pieces of ribbon coming out the top edges. Hope you like this card, it certainly isn't square or a rectangle and we all look forward to seeing more of your entries. Remember there's a gift voucher for crafters companion up for grabs. X
Enjoy
Hello, Dawn Louise blogging here, to share a card made using the gorgeous dies from Lisa at THAT CRAFT PLACE. I just had to have these dies, the swirl and leaves are delicate and perfect to go with any creation, as a focal point or to accent your paper flowers, to frame your image and much more. The waste from the cut shape makes an excellent mask to stencil through and this design makes a background design that would compliment many different styles and images. The swirls n leaves also compliment the flower dies perfectly and the possibilities with these combined are lots and lots.
My card is 8x8 inch square and the background uses a mask and distress inks, another layer ran through an embossing folder,a punched border, some organza ribbon, pearl pins made from my own supplies make up this card
We're all ready and raring to go with the next challenge on that craft place challenge blog http://thatcraftplaceblog.blogspot.co.uk/?m=0
We really do appreciate all your entries and enjoy lookin through them all with so many different ideas and styles, it makes crafting even more fun.
Thank you for taking a look, happy crafting
Dawn
