#104 Use a Digi

 

This week the theme over at One Stitch at a Time is Use a Digi and you can buy loads of super digis over at  the Stitchybear Digital Store.

There will be two prizes presented this week - the first from our sponsor who, this week, is Cropstop who'll be providing a £10 gift certificate.        

The second prize will be from Stitchybear who will be presenting the mini collaboration to another winner.

My digi is Deep Sea Duncan by Claire of Hope Jacare Doodles over at Stitchybear. My friend's son is a Deep Sea Diver so I can see this card finding a home. Thanks, Claire, for this wonderful image.

My card is a large ivory coloured square from Craft UK. The backing paper is by Costco and it's matted on to Papermill's silver card which was supposed to shimmer like the sea. I coloured my image with Promarkers and after cutting it with a Spellbinders label nestie I used Distress Ink round the edges. I made a 'harpoon' with a cocktail stick and bound some rope round it and added a silver card point. The shells, scattered on the floor of the ocean, are from Beachcomber. I generated the Happy Birthday sentiment on the computer and cut it with nesties.

I'm entering the card into the following challenges:

Creative Craft Challenge - Boys will be Boys 

Paper Pretties Challenge - Make a masculine card

The Paper Shelter - Anything Goes 

Aud Sentiments - Happy Birthday 

Sarah Hurley Challenge - Birthday Celebrations

Polka Doodles - For Boys or Men

The Poodles Parlour - Birthday

#89 Octopus Rockpool

The theme at One Stitch At A Time is Anything Goes. I chose the Octopus Rockpool digi by Claire of Hope Jacare at Stitchybear Stamps. I had so much fun colouring this image. I was waiting for a delivery of shells and my card was made for a few days before they arrived. They echo the shells on the backing paper perfectly. The yellow card is from Papermill and my card blank is by Craft UK. I coloured the image with my Promarkers and the 'water' is coloured with a stardust Sakura gelly roll pen. I cut round the edges of the rockpool and then raised it slightly over a Spellbinders circle nestie in silver card. The shells are by Beachcomber and the silver pebbles are by John Lewis.

The sponsor over at OSAAT this week is Creative Craft World so make sure you pop over to enter this one.

 

I'm entering this card in to the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge - U is for Under the Sea

Daring Cardmakers - Water

Frosted Designs - Die Cuts

Shelly's Images - Anything Goes

Hooked on Crafts - Anything punched or die cut

I'm going to a Christmas Craft Fair at 10:30 so I'll enter them in to the challenges when I get home. I'm going to spend lots of money I hope.
