Hi everyone, it's time for another challenge over at the fabulous That Craft Place challenge blog.

This week our theme is MONOCHROME.

 Until recently I had never tried this but on making a couple of monochrome cards I've come to really enjoy it. The effect is stunning. Take a look back at the challenge blog at my DT teamies cards for some amazing projects this week. 

Here is mine:

The image is 'Whispy' by Saturated Canary available HERE. The card base was made on the  Silhouette Cameo (available from That Craft Place with a range of accessories). I used a basic nested shape and popped 3 butterflies down the side and welded the shapes together to cut out as one peice. I cut this out twice. Scored one of them 1 inch in. folded this flap over and glues to the front to create the card. :) The rolled roses are also a cut file on the cameo. And the image and mats are also done on the cameo using the print and cut feature (it really is an amazing machine!) 

The black swirls and feathers are also available from That Craft Place. The dies are Precious Hearts from Memory Box, a range of dies are also available from That Craft Place. 

The image was coloured using the Ice Greys and Cool Greys promarkers and also the black.

Here Come The Boys Challenge #57 SKETCH

Hey everyone, wow these challenges come round so fast I can't believe its been 2 weeks since our last challenge. It's challenge time again over at Here Come The Boys and this week we have a fantastic Sketch by our wonderful Woo for you to work with:

A bit more news from Here Come The Boys too. Dr Digi House of Stamps has recently joined us as a new sponsor and are offering the winner of this challenge a digi stamp of the winners choice. We are all very excited to be working with Dr Digi as they have some amazing male digis, perfect for our challenges.

 Ok so why isn't my card made with a Dr Digi image? Well the answer to that is we only found out last week that Dr Digi was going to be sponsoring us and I had already made my DT card by then. I have been away so haven't had chance to make another. So onto my card:

The image is from Bugaboo called Gus Birthday Reaper available HERE

The image is coloured entirely with promarkers

The papers used are Spots & Stripes > Festive pack from Papermania Capsule Collection.

That Craft Place Challenge

A New DT Position! 

I am very pleased and proud to announce I have been asked to become a DT member over at That Craft Place. 

If you have never stopped by That Craft Place you really should. Lisa sells some amazing goodies and the service there is second to none. I first 'met' Lisa when a mutual friend recommended That Craft Place as somewhere I should go when I decided to get my Cameo. I received top service and ordered my cameo and received it the next day!!! So when I was asked to join Lisa's team I jumped at the chance. Anyway thats enough waffling from me now lets get to the challenge. 

The theme for this weeks challenge is 'It's a Girl Thing'

I wanted to use my cameo a lot in my cards for That Craft Place to show the many many amazing things you can do with it. I have only had mine just over a month and already feel like i've definately had my moneys worth. If anyone is thinking of getting one, DO IT! you certainly won't regret it! 

The cut file I used for the card base is called Happy Birthday Card by designer Daniela Angelova available from the cameo store Design ID #45100

The Happy Birthday greeting was made using the text feature and then making a background using the offset and weld feature. (sounds more complicated then it is honestly)

The image is Bambi Bubble Gum by Kraftin Kimmie and is available from That Craft Place HERE

The image is coloured with promarkers and copics and all embellishments were from my stash. 

Head over to That Craft Place Challenge Blog for details on how to enter. I can't wait to see what girly goodness you all come up with.
