C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 313 - Father's Day / Male.

Welcome to a new C.R.A.F.T. Challenge!

 

This week we have a perfect theme for those who celebrate Father's Day in June (we have it in March): Father's Day or Male Cards, as you prefer.

 

I chose a lovely image, perfect for a man:

 

 

It's Mr. Fix It Car from Karen's Doodles, colored with Copics with papers from Peebles (Front Porch).

I had a great fun coloring this image! Those greens are one of my fav color combos!

 

 

Have a look here on the challenge blog: you'll find last week's winner and Top 3: I chose the Top 3 and well, it was hard to select just 3 cards!

 

We can't wait to see what you create for the men in your life!

Happy New Year!

 

Welcome to a new C.R.A.F.T. Challenge!

 

This week we have a color combo to inspire you:

 

 

Do you like these colors?

It's been snowing a little bit in the past few days here and these colors are perfect for my winter scene:

 

 

I chose First Snowfall from Karen's Doodles mounted on a card base from DCWV.

 

To help you with this challenge, Jo has created some background papers with this colour combo, which you can download for free here.

 

Karen's Doodles is one of our sponsors this week.

Some of our sponsors have needed to withdraw sponsorship due to financial reasons. It was no longer financially viable to continue their small businesses due to the changes in the European laws regarding VAT.

We had already decided to reduce the number of sponsors per challenge to ensure they can have their products shown off better.

Check them all here and be inspired by the creations from the DT.

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 276 - Christmas!

Christmas again at C.R.A.F.T. Challenges!

 

This week I've used an image you already saw a few months ago, Carolers from Karen's Doodles, in a small card:

 

 

I printed these adorable giraffes on a paper from Goodness and Fun available at My Grafico and colored them with Copics and glitter.

I wanted to make a speecial envelope for this card but I didn't manage to finish it in time for the challenge!

 

Have a look at our Challenge page to check the fabulous sponsors for this week and start a new Christmas card!

C.R.A.F.T. Challenge # 250 - Christmas.

It's Thursday! It means it's time for a new C.R.A.F.T Challenge!

The theme is CHRISTMAS!

One of my fav!

And this week I've really had fun creating my card, the image was really cute!

These adorable giraffes come from Karen's Doodles and are called Carolers: it's been quite difficult to choose an image this time, their Christmas digis are all so cute! But you know my love for carolers at Christmas so this is perfect! And what about those boots!

The card it's been simple to make: I've used a dotted card blank and added the image (colored with Copics and glitter) and a few details here and there.

Karen's Doodles is one of the fab sponsors of this week challenge so don't loose your chance to win!

You will find the list of sponsors AND the gallery of inspiring creations from the team here!

It's Sketch Time at Christmas Card Challenges!

This week we have to follow a sketch at Christmas Card Challenges:

Clean and simple, isn't it?

I decided it was perfect for an image I've wanted for a while in Karen's Doodles shop: Bigsby's Christmas Wish and I made this card:

The paper behind the image is from the Make It Merry paper pad from October Afternoon and the gold glittered cardstock is from DCWV.

What I enjoyed most while making this card was coloring the image which I find so sweet and with a touch of poetry!

Can't wait to see what my fellow DT memebrs have made with this sketch!

A New Digi Stamp

While waiting for some pre-Christmas purchases from the U.S. with new stamps and papers, I've decided to create a Valentine card with a digi stamp I bought back in December:


These lovely giraffes are from Karen's Doodles and they inspired me to use pastel colors with a paper from DCWV and some organza ribbon and bows.
They are so sweet!
