Gerda Steiner Designs Monthly Challenge

Spring is in the Air

This adorable fox is the freebie image for this month on the Gerda Steiner Blog. With spring just a couple of days away down here in Australia I made a card with blue skies, green grass but with bare trees. Still cold here in Canberra but some blossoms are starting to bloom. I used distress inks for all the colouring, a tree die from Cottage Cutz and one from Simon Says Stamps for the grassy slope.



Distress inks: 
Fox: Tea Die, Dried Marigold, Picket Fence.
Sky: Peacock Feathers, Tumbled Glass, Salty Ocean, Stormy Sky.
Grassy Slope Mowed Lawn.

Beccy's May 2023 Challenge

Birthday Hello Have not posted anything for months and saw the challenge on Beccy's Place blog and love the lilies so decided to have a go. Kept the card clean and simple and love how it turned out so maybe my mogo just needed a nudge.. The image is the freebie this month and the hello die is from my stash of die cut words. I can never just cut one and they mount up. I fussy cut two flowers, used dimentional tape to layer the larger one over the smaller flower on white cardstock. Stamped birthday girl under the hello die then added some glossy gems. To finish I adhered the panel to a matching grteen card base.

I won. I know it's a random draw but still very excited to be a winner on All Dressed up Challenge 66 .This is the second time as I was one of the top three for Challenge 65  and I think I am still pinching myself. I just love making cards and by entering challenges it pushes me to think out side the box. I guess we all get stuck in a rut occasionally so having to make something different is fun. I have used one of the digis I won called Autumn Girl as we are enjoying some lovely Autumn weather down here in Australia after a very hot summer. First I coloured a panel with Oxide distress inks in Autumn tones, used some of it to stamped some leaves from the SU Gently Falling set and cut them out. The rest I used to adhere the printed image too. She was coloured with copics then cut out using a stitched die from Simon Says stamps and this was then matted to a green piece of card for some contrast and on to a pale grey card base. Copics: Skin: E11,20,50,51.Lips: R14. Eyes: G1...

All Dressed Up Challenge 65

Cute Just Got Cuter Have just re-organized my craft room and catching up with some card making. I will not be doing any changes for a while, if ever as it has taken days to sort and then find things again. Hubby helped to pack it up so we could put more shelves in after the new carpet and he throw things in any box and didn't label any of them. At least I have more work space and he was was a great help. The card image was a freebie I have had printed out for awhile and it was time I used it. Have a friends birthday coming up and she has just acquired a new dog so thought this would be a great image for her birthday card. Coloured the image with copics and used a scarp of PP from an old pack from Gina K that I adhered to a aqua card base. Kept it simple and I am looking forward to making more with the box of images I found to colour. Copics:  Dog: E000,00,23,25,31,R20. Bow: BG11,15,49. Ground: W3,5. Shadow C0. Red Fine Tipped Gel Pen was used for the heart....
