Anything Goes

Time for another challenge at One Stitch at a Time and it's a firm favourite - Anything Goes. And as the festive season is upon us, we're going to give you an early Christmas present... you've got a whole 5 weeks in which to enter this challenge. :)

 

The Design Team are taking a bit of a well-earned break over the Christmas period so this challenge is going to run until 11 January 2014. Don't forget that if you use Stitchy Bear products on your creations you can enter the challenge as many times as you like during that period and each entry will give you a chance to win our main prize. You can still enter without using Stitchy Bear products but you are limited to 3 entries and those entries will go into the draw to win a $3 gift voucher to the Stitchy Bear digi outlet.

 

For my creation for this challenge I used this Rose digi stamp by Crafty Girl:

 

 

The style of this digi really put me in mind of tattoo art so I went for a kind of funky, alternative style for my card. I coloured the image using my Prismacolor pencils and cut it out using a decorate oval die:

 

 

I used a card blank in a tentfold format and cut a card panel slightly smaller than my card front and covered it with washi tape in a contempory chevron pattern.

 

 

I attached my die-cut image using foam tape, overlapping the top edge of the card a little.

 

 

To finish, I stamped a greeting and trimmed it into a banner shape, matting it onto a larger banner cut from black card.

 

 

I'm entering this card into the following challenges:

Crafty Catz - Anything Goes

Creative Corner - Color It

Creative Fingers - Anything Goes

Polkadoodles - Anything Goes

Sister Act Card Challenge - Anything Goes

Anything Goes

This week's challenge at One Stitch at a Time is Anything Goes. It does exactly what it says.. you can enter any kind of project you lie, using whatever materials you want. :)

 

For my creation, I made a pretty thank you card using this sweet Blue Bells image by Gingerloft:

 

I coloured the image in with my Prismacolor pencils for a nice soft effect and cut it out with my favourite Spellbinders die:

To decorate my card I decided to have a play with my washi tapes. I spent last weekend at a great scrapbooking retreat with some online crafty friends and one of the classes we did was on ways to use washi tapes. I loved the idea of covering a piece of card with washi tape to make a patterned background and thought I'd try it out on this card. :)

 

 

I added a stamped greeting (using a Stampin' Up! stamp) and mounted my die-cut image on foam pads.

 

You don't need to use a Stitchy Bear product to enter the OSAAT challenge but if you do you'll have a chance to win our main prize. Entries not using a Stitchy Bear product will be entered into the draw to win a $3 gift voucher to the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet.
