Cute As A Button Challenge - #72

 Hi there, 

A new challenge has started over at Cute As A Button. As always our challenge themes are 'Anything Goes', though we do have a twist of 'Lots of Layers'. For my DT project this month I am using this super cute image called Fine Wine. This is what I created, hope you like it and that it gives you some inspiration to stop by and join us for our challenge...

So this month, I decided to create a book fold box with card. The box I created was made from kraft card, outside size 14cm, spine just under 3cm and inside box 13cm, then matt and layered with mirri card and co-ordinating papers on the front along with the image, that I coloured with promarkers and placed as shown on box. I decorated with die cut parchment flowers and die cut foliage, adding glitter glue and pearl gem to complete. The card I made from the same kraft card and measures 12cmx12cm, so fits nicely in box. For this I added the sentiment (which I saw on line and printed using word doc) and wine glass image topper and completed the look with more die cut flowers and foliage...

As normal our challenge theme is 'Anything Goes', but we do have an optional twist and this month it's 'Polka Dots and/or Stripes'. Why not give it a go, we'd love to see what you create...so with that, here is my project for this month, I am using this super image called Summertime, isn't she so adorable, I hope this inspires you!!!

For this I have used a 5x7 kraft card blank, on to which I matt and layered polka dot card along with sandpaper for sand and blue colour core card for the sea, this I sanded and also added die cut waves for effect. The image I carefully cut out and coloured with promarkers, adding some gold pen to highlight hair. I decorated with a couple of shells, die cut foliage and wood 'FUN' to finish...

''Christmas in July''

Hi there,

Wow what fantastic weather we are getting in my part of Scotland, been like this for 2 to 3 weeks with the odd bit of rain though still very warm. Hope it lasts a bit longer, though I'm not one to sit out in it!! Anyways, hoping this might help to keep us cool, I'm here to share with you another little bit of ''Christmas in July''. I've been loving Hunkydory's new Christmas ranges, so I just had to have another little spend to add to my ever growing stash! Lol...And here is what I created with my new goodies, hope you like it!

 

On a 7x7 scalloped card blank, I matt and layered tartan adorable scorable with gold mirri card for my base. The poinsettia is a new stamp from For the Love of Stamps called ''Perfect Poinsettia'' and is absolutely fabulous! I stamped the image 6 times on watercolour card then cut each in different sizes to be able to decoupage it. Before putting together, I coloured with my LuminArte Twinkling H2O's that I haven't used in a very long time and I must say I think it turned out brill!. I added some 'Ice Diamond' glitter to the edges of the leaves and petals for effect. I die cut holly leaves and berries from the same watercolour card and coloured with the H2O's too and adding pearl drops to complete the berries, then  die cut pine sprigs from gold mirri card. Finishing off with a die cut sentiment and some pearl gems.
