Paper crafting in my spare time!
The sponsor for this challenge is ADU. Each week we invite you to join us at the Through the craft room door blog, the theme is always anything goes!
I chose to use an ADU image I already had. The image is coloured with Chameleon pens (NU1, NU4, NU0, NU00, NG4, OR4, NU2, YL2, YO3, YO2) plus Chameleon fine liners (GR2, YO3, BG1, NU3, RD5, BG3, TD5).
As always, I hope that you like the card. It’s lovely to see that you’ve stopped by to leave a comment. Thank you.

I chose one of this flower vase with the poisoned petunias. It is coloured with Chameleon pens and the background of the topper was then inked with Weathered wood distress oxide.
This was then mounted onto black card onto a kraft card blank

The sponsor for this challenge is Jan’s Digital Stamps and the theme is anything goes. Each week we invite you to join us at Trimmies Craft Challenge going with the theme.
I chose one of this flower vase and this beautiful sentiment. The sentiment resonates, I think, after all of the lockdowns we have had over the last 18 months or so. Everyone has had their moments, but we have come through it and survived!
I coloured the image with chameleon pens and added some ink around the topper to help frame the image, but wanted to soften the block shape by adding some die cut borders. This was put onto a darker pink mat and all of this is added to a pink and white polka dot 300gsm base card.

I created my card using the following:
KLM Sunflower cups digital image
A4 white 300gsm base card
Chameleon pens (BR1, WG3, NU1, NU3, YO3, YO2)
Matte gold mats
Blue paper for the background
Tacky glue
The image I chose to use was these lovely cups along with the sentiment about friends. Friends often meet for coffee or tea so this felt like a card I would send to a friend to let them know I was around by writing we should meet for a catch up coffee (even though I don’t drink coffee).
I coloured the cups and tried to give them some texture as if they were stoneware cups. Then I cut out the cups and mounted them onto a blue mat as I felt this was a good contrast colour. Next I added a matte gold mat to both the image mat and the sentiment bringing things together.
As always, I hope that you like the card. It’s lovely to see that you’ve stopped by to leave a comment. Thank you.

I created my card using the following:
Ike’s Art heart postbox digital image
A4 pink and white polka dot 300gsm card
Chameleon pens (RD4, NU1, PK3, PK2, PK4, VO2, PL5, RD2)
Distress oxide inks – Victorian Velvet and Picked Raspberry
Studio light ticket stamp and die set
Tattered lace starburst ovals
Leaf die
Fuchsia pink paper
Sparkly cream 240gsm card from pink frog
Gems
Paper trimmer
Anita tacky glue
The image I chose to use was this lovely postbox. With the hearts on it, it screamed anniversary to me and love, hence why I coloured it in red and pink Chameleon pens.
I recently picked up the ticket cutting die and decided that I wanted to team these up with the postbox image. I die cut 3 of these, created a background with some Victorian Velvet distress oxide ink then stamped with picked raspberry using some of the stamps from that set and others from another set. I mean it’s great to mix and match your stash isn’t it!
I cut out the starburst ovals but also kept the centre and used a pick up technique, with the distress oxide picked raspberry ink, to colour this mat. Next cutting out a few of the leaves too.

With everything that has been going on in the last 18 months I think that our children need a card like this to tell them we love them and that they are unique and that they will come through this.
I’ve coloured this sweet little Sweet n Sassy digital image with chameleon pens, mounted it onto a note page created from an embossing folder and inked with Cracked Pistachio Distress Oxide. Onto that I have stamped “Be Unique” which is a Woodware clear stamp

Good Morning All and a Very Happy 12th Birthday to us all here at CRAFT Challenge!!
