A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog - July 2021

Today sees a new challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.

The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge.

This month we are lucky to have two sponsors:

 Bugaboo Stamps

and

Charlie's Stamps.

For my side scene card I have used the Charlie's Stamps image called "Cute Baby Sea Turtle".  I decided to make a large turtle family so I took the image into Craft Artist and resized some of the image and also flipped some to face the other way.

I have coloured the images in with Promarkers.  Yes it took quite a while but well worth it.  I then fussy cut the images out and edged with blue and green chalk ink pads as I hate to see white edges.

The backing paper is from a Joanna Sheen Faye Whittaker CD.  I have used various greenery/dots/crinkle effect stamps all over the backing paper.

I have finished the card off with a stamped sentiment and a die-cut sentiment.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:

A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog - July 2020

  Today sees a new challenge over at the A Perfect Time to Craft Open Challenge Blog.

The topic is always "ANYTHING GOES" and you are allowed unlimited entries into the challenge.

This month we are lucky to have two sponsors:

 Bugaboo Stamps

and

Charlie's Stamps.

 For my male card (as they are notoriously difficult cards) I have used the Charlie's Stamp called "Cool French Bulldog with glasses" - now who could resist him?

I have coloured my image in with Promarkers and added a stamped heart to each side of the sunglasses.

The backing papers are nearly 8 years old as I bought them just after the London Olympics in 2012!!  One of the backing papers also had little mini postcards so I used two of those as well as a Union Jack die-cut topper from the same paper pad collection.

I have used my Creative Expressions Lisa Horton Ticker Tape Sentiment Stamps.  I have used a mix of the everyday set and the Christmas set to say around the image "Wicked Cool Smile" (which this dog has) and "Happy Birthday Wishes".  I love these ticker tape sentiments as you can make you own words up.

I have finished the card off with a twine bow and a decorative button.

I am entering this card into the following challenges:
