My Time To Craft 'Decoupage' Challenge

Good morning all, I have had to schedule this post today (so hope mr blogger is playing ball) as I went to see Strictly Come Dancing last night and as yet have not arrived home. I stayed with my parents because we were due to arrive back at around midnight and I didn't fancy driving down the dark country lanes at the time on my own.

Anyhow onto today's dt card and it is for this week's challenge at My Time To Craft where we have been challenged to create using 'Decoupage' you can either use the traditional decoupage as I did or you can use a stamped image layered up.

I haven't made decoupage in years and didn't like the thought of having to cut all those pieces out so I sent the image to my cameo and got that to do the work for me lol. As you can see it went off a little in place but that was because the image is so light it had a job to pick up the lines. (I think a little more playing is needed). I didn't add much else as the image is quite large.

Supplies:-

6" Scalloped Card Blank - Boyes

Card Stock - Bazzill

Decoupage - Humpfrey's Corner C.D

Foam Pads - Stix 2 Stash

Lace - Stash

Here is a close view of the image so you can see the decoupage a little better.

Thanks for stopping by, I think I have caught up with most of you since I got home from holiday but if I haven't I will over the weekend. Please pop by the challenge blog to see what the other girls made.

Moving Along With The Times 'Only Girls Allowed' Challenge

Good morning everyone. What is going on with this weather, one minute we have sunshine the next snow!

I had a lovely week in Malta last week, the weather felt quite chilly at times due to the high winds they were suffering but once I stepped off the plane back here I realised just how warm it really had been lol. I am suffering from painful legs and back due to the little amount of walking I did but mainly due to the bad roads they have. I also have an infected mouth from the wind, it started as a cold sore but has gone on. Both are worth the pain as it really is a beautiful country to travel around.

I am off to see Strictly Come Dancing at Nottingham on Friday evening so resting plenty so that I am ready to go because I can't wait. I have wanted to see it since it started and finally this year my mum and decided to have a girls day out and go.

Anyhow onto the matter in hand, this week at Moving Along With The Times Pami set us the challenge of 'Only Girls Allowed' so anything girlie is acceptable. We have the honour of having Kenny K as our sponsor and they provided us with some great images to play with. I have used Jasmine on my card and really enjoyed colouring her. I made what I think is called a sideways z fold card but not totally sure, I saw the style on someone's blog awhile ago but they didn't say what it was called.

My Time To Craft 'Things With Wings' Challenge

Good morning all. Hopefully Mr Blogger has played nicely and posted this for me whilst I enjoy myself in Malta. The weather should be a bit better than here but who knows anything is possible lol.

This week at My Time To Craft we are challenged to use 'Things With Wings' so be it a bird, a plane or whatever you choose what can you come up with?

I found this cute little love tree and owls in the Silhouette store and fell in love myself are they not the cutest. I added the L and cutout love just to complete the card. I didn't actually make this for anyone in particular however I have since had a request for it from my friends 10 year old grandaughter!

Supplies:-

6" Scalloped Square Card Blank - Boyes

Card Stock - Bazzill

Cut Files - Silhouette Store

Ink - Aged Mahogany

Just before I go I thought I would show you another 'thing with wings' and that is my Silhouette Cameo with I decided to customize with butterfly swirls and lettering. I cut the butterflies out of red vinyl and mirrored the image, then my name out of black vinyl. I am using this as an example for a demonstration I will be doing in a few weeks at my local craft shop.

Challenges I would like to enter this into:-

I will edit upon my return.
