CBD Anything goes August

Hello again,

I hope those in the North are enjoying their summer time, we have been having a run of cold, wet, foggy winter days here in my part of Aus. good weather to stay inside crafting. Today brings us to a new month long Anything goes challenge with my lovely team mates at Crafting By Designs, while my team mates enjoy a summer break this is the only challenge for the month. There are two sponsors this month offering two lucky winners a prize from their stores.

Di's Digi Stamps

Prize  $6 voucher to store

We R 3

I have used one of my favourite images from Di's Digi Stamp store Pots of Hedgehog Love, this was coloured earlier this year and I had pre die-cut it out then tucked it under my craft matt to keep it flat. I have used paper from Shimelle 'Star Shine' paper pad which I cut to fit the card after die-cutting the flower shape from the middle of the plain cardstock backing, okay so it wasn't quite even and I had to change plans and ended up with the two narrow strips top and bottom rather than just one at the bottom. I know, measure twice cut once.

CBD Magnolia

Hello again, 

Well I thought I'd never get this card done in time for the challenge, freezing cold weather, mist bound, poor light for photography, multiple mistakes that ended up in the WPB. My sentiment panel is a little skewed but not so badly that I tossed the lot... this card is decidedly clean and simple for me.

Today brings us to a month long challenge with the lovely ladies over at Crafting By Designs this month we have been sponsored by Fred She Said Designs and I chose to work with the pre coloured set Magnolias, to make a birthday card for one of our family history friends who loves her garden.

CBD Flowers

Hello again, 

Today brings us to a new Challenge for Crafting by Designs, we would love you to join in our challenge and this week the challenge is Flowers or Floral, we have one fabulous sponsors this week Beccy’s Place will be giving the lucky winner a $10 gift certificate for their store.

Beccy’s Place 

PRIZE $10 gift certificate

I have used a stamp from the Beccy’s Place Waratah set, being an Aussie I love to find Australian stamps and images. The Waratah is the floral emblem of NSW, the state that I live in, according to local Aboriginals the Waratah was a flower seen from afar, which the warriors of the tribe used to remove from the plant and soak the flower head in water and drink the resulting sweet drink for an energy boost. We have them growing in both the front and back garden. I am also sharing two pictures from our garden, the first one has begun opening and the second is still closed up. 

Here is my card:-

I coloured the image using Derwent and Faber-Castell pencils, die cut with an MFT stitched oval die teamed with some papers from the Kaisercraft paper pad called Open Road which features Australian flora, fauna and iconic images of our country. I have used the coloured border (which looks like bark of a gum tree) from the spine to stamp my sentiment onto to make a card for my Mum for Mother’s Day.

This challenge is open until March 26th, you can add your project by using the Linky tool over at Crafting by Designs. Please be sure to link your project back to us.

What I used:-

White 12.4x17.5cm card blank 

Beccy’s Place Waratah Stamp set  

Faber-Castell and Derwent coloured pencils

Gold embossing powder

Clear embossing ink

Kaisercraft Open Road papers

Kaisercraft Mini Clear Stamps ‘Occasions’
