This week our design team challenges you to make a “shaped” card (anything but a square or rectangle). I hand sketched a pumpkin shape, coloured and cut out 2, attached front and back together, then added the digi stamp called AJ the Pilgrim by The Stamping Boutique. For the digi, I paper pieced most of the turkey and pilgrim. I also used Copic markers. The sentiment is from PI.
I hope you will join us. Please support our Sponsors who provide us with our great weekly prizes.
Challenge 97 at Simply Create Too invites you to make a card with the theme, “BABY, IT’S COLD OUTSIDE”. I used this wonderful little digi stamp called, On the Lookout by Delicious Doodles. I added minimal colour to the image with my Copic markers, keeping to cool greens/blues. I frame the image with Memory Box – Frostyville border also in the cool tones. I was trying to depict a cold frosty morning. The stamp is from Hero Arts.
Our challenge runs from October 23rd until November 5th. Please join us.

This week’s challenge at CRAFT is designed to get you ready for Christmas. I made three versions of my Christmas cards using Lake Winter by Stitchy Bear’s Digi Outlet. I used paper/card stock from my stash and Simon Says Stamps die called Holiday Frames. This card design would be great to use with your winter photos as well.
Card 1: I used distress ink the colour inside the frame
Card 2: Simple Black & White version
Card 3: Added patterned paper, ribbon, and rounded top right corner.
