OSAAT #194 - Anything Goes

The theme this week is Anything Goes so come along and join us at One Stitch at a Time. This image that I chose is by Coosty Creations over at Stitchybear Digi Outlet and it's called 'Doorway'. I can just imagine eating in this cosy little establishment, yum. There are gorgeous backing papers to match this image but I chose not to use them on this card as I already had the background in mind.

This challenge will last longer than usual so you have plenty of time to make your card over the festive period and join in with us.

My card is a large 8x8 square by Joanne Sheen. The backing paper is by Costco and it's matted on to Papermill greeny-yellow card and then on to black glitter card. I know that I got the glitter paper at Blue Water Craft Fair last year but can't remember the shop, sorry. The image was coloured with my Promarkers and then matted on to the greeny-yellow card. There is ivy down the right hand side of the digi image so I echoed that with my die cuts of ivy, cut with my Joanna Sheen Signature dies. I used various shades of green. I added a small strip of black glitter card down the left side and then added another ivy die cut.

The prize this week will be all the images used by the DT in challenge 192 but please check the challenge blog for full details of prizes.

MAWTT - Winter Wonderland

This week's theme over at Moving Along with the Times is Winter Wonderland and it was set by Hazel (didos). So come along and join us with snowy and icy scenes.

This is my card for the Winter Wonderland challenge set for Team B. I've used a small card blank from Craft UK. The silver glitter paper is from Papermania and I've matted on to that some paper that I won from a competition at Crafts Beautiful a few years ago. I don't even know if the Crafts Beautiful magazine is still around.  I used my Hobbycraft punch to cut a large snowflake. The tree is from a Memory Box die called Winterland Tree. To finish off the card I added some Diamond Dust by Provocraft.

I'm really poorly this week so I'm sorry if I don't get round to visit you.

OSAAT #193 - Seeing Red

The theme this week at One Stitch at a Time is 'Seeing Red'. I'm using the image 'Busted ' by Stitchy over at Stitchybear Digi Outlet. I think Santa is seeing red in more ways than one!! This is going to be the Christmas card for my son and DIL as my son breeds dogs and I think they'll appreciate this one.

I've used a large square card by Joanna Sheen. The white paper was embossed with a Crafter's Companion embossalicious folder and that was matted on to Papermill red card. The image was coloured with my Promarkers and then cut with a Spellbinders grand nestie circle. I drew round another of the circles so that it was just slightly larger than the previous one and then I cut it by hand. I wanted just a thin touch of red round the image. To make his belt and boots look shiny I used some Ranger's Glossy Accents. 'Happy Christmas' is cut in gold card and I used an All Occasions die by Robert Addams. The gold stars are the waste from a Joanna Sheen Signature die 'Starburst'.

Please check the challenge blog for details of the prizes on offer. One of the prizes will be 3 Promarkers from Creative Craft World.

OSAAT #192 - Use a Digi

This week it was Shell's turn to choose an image and she chose Olyvia by Teri of Delicious Doodles over at Stitchybear Digi Outlet. This is my card using Olyvia, isn't she beautiful? The theme for this week's challenge at One Stitch at a Time is Use a Digi so come along and join us.

I used a large scalloped card by Craft UK. The backing paper is from a Dovecraft 12x12 paper pack. I cut it with a Spellbinders grand nestie and matted it on to burgundy Papermill card. The image was coloured with my Promarkers and then cut with a Spellbinders grand nestie. The backing oval is in burgundy card again but I cut this freehand because I just wanted a very narrow border. The four gems in the corners are called Dazzlers and I bought them from Create and Craft a couple of years ago.
