Elisabeth Bell Monthly Challenge

Hiya Peeps!


It's time for another Elisabeth Bell's World challenge!  For this monthly challenge our theme is Shabby Shic/Distressed.  I used Curly Locks Kiki for my card, and you can get her HERE.

Quick card recipe : edges have been distressed with the Zutter Distress it all (a much loved tool), Some flatback pearls, DP - Fabscraps if I remember correct (I am using all my left over scrap paper...have tons of them!), flowers : Flower centers are Wild Orchid Crafts roses, the rest of the flower was die cut with the Tim Holtz Tattered flowers die.  In real life they are gorgeous!  Kiki was colored with Copics, 98% of her was colored with the E family, only the bowl with strawberries, scissors and flowers were not of the E's.  

Here is my card:




I would also like to enter my card into the following challenges:


1.  Bunny Zoe's Challenge - Shabby Shic / Distressed
2.  Cheerful Stamp Pad - Anything Goes
3.  Lollipop Crafts - Anything Goes
4.  Make it Monday - Anything Goes
5.  Stamp & Fun - Make your own flowers


That's it from me!

Elisabeth Bell's Duckie


Hiya Peeps!

Today is my turn to do the pose over at the Digi Bells's.  For those of you who haven't done the blog hop yet, don't despair!  You have until the 3rd of March 9AM Arizona time to complete the Hop!  Seriously, have you seen the new Digi!  It really is to die for!

For my card this week I decided that I will use Duckie!  I used Duckie once before...when Lizzybee released the Digi in the Blog Hop.  I don't know why I haven't used it again, but making this card was super fun.  I got a new toy for my birthday - a Zutter Distress it all - and need excuses to use it. But using them on all my cards simply will not do!  So naturally, when making a boy/man card....a little distressing to make it look a bit rugged is in order??

Here is my card:


As always, Digi was colored with Copics.  Some brass brads and used the Tim Holtz Gadget Gears with Paint Daubbers.   All the edges were distressed with Zutter...fun!...and made a double bow to complete the card.

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

1.  Divas by Design - Spots and Dots
2.  Elpine House Australia - It's a boy thing
3.  Simon says Stamps - Anything Goes
4.  The sister hood of crafters - Use a digital Stamp
5.  Creative Challenges - Boys will be boys
6.  Party Time Tuesday - Anything Goes
7.  Sassy Cheryl's Challenge - are you seeing spots?
8.  Cupcake craft challenges - Boys and their toys
9.  The Crazy Challenge - Anything Goes


Thank you for looking!

Hugs,

PS.  Did I mention that I love how my wooden barrel came out.
