Anything Goes - Checks, Stripes and Flowers

Hello blogging friends...

This morning I'm here to tell you about the new challenge over at Anything Goes.

This fortnight our challenge theme is...

Checks, Stripes and Flowers

My card today uses a lovely Hannah Lynn image called Wynndy. These are lovely images to colour. Next time I think I'll have to try coloured hair. I've seen a number of people in blogland colouring them with pinks and purples, and they look great.

The papers I've used are from the Maja Road Vintage Spring Basics pad again. I did try to find other papers but these were the only ones I have that had checks and stripes that complimented each other.

Copics used :-

Skin : E0000, E000, E00, E21, E11, R20

Hair : E21, E23, E25, E29

Blues : BG0000, B91, B93, B95, B97

Sun : Y23, Y35, Y38

Leaves : G20, G21, G94, G99

Reds : R32, R35, R46, R59

I've used a little bit of frantage on the papers as well as distressing them with Walnut stain and a TH tool. Think I can probably be a bit more liberal with it next time. Wasn't quite sure how much to use. I also covered my corner with it too.

 I've also added a bit of Gesso to some of the embellishments. Really enjoyed doing this, so I think it will be making an appearance on a few more cards.

Hope you can join us for this challenge. We love to come and visit your blogs and see all your lovely creations.

Anything Goes Challenge - Shaped Cards (No Squares)

Good morning everyone. 

Hope you had a lovely Bank Holiday weekend (UK). Well the sun was shining for most of the weekend and it certainly feels like summer is on the way.

I'm back today with a DT card for the Anything Goes Challenge and this fortnight our challenge is

Shaped Cards (no squares ).

I'm really enjoying making these shaped cards at the moment. I'd quite like to get some of the bigger Go Kreate dies that make cards bigger than 6x6. I think I may need to get an A4 die cutting machine though. If you've got any advice on which ones are good I'd love to hear your comments.

Today's card uses the gorgeous Hannah Lynn 'Melissa' image.

I've made this for my niece who's mad about Huskies. This was the closest I could get.

The card shape has been cut using Go Kreate Frilly #7 large and the papers are Prima 'Rondelle'. All the papers have been edged with Walnut stain.

As usual the image has been coloured with Copics.

Skin: E0000, E000, E00, E21, E11, R21

Hair: E21, E23, E25, E29

Cape: R20, R21, R22, R35, W3

Wolf: W0, W1, W3, W5

Sky: BG0000, BG000, Blender

I've also used the following dies to embellish my card.

Marianne - Garden Branch

Memory Box - Small Pinwheel Posie

DooHickey - So lovely wrapped heart
