Creative Fingers Challenge

Im so happy to be back playing with the Creative Fingers team, its been way too long and creating this card reminded me how much I miss the push that a DT gives to create (not a literal push, more of a creative mojo push).

I made this card way back in July using the now discontinued SSS Look for the Miracles stamp set.   Isn't is just a great set, all of those elements and that huge lovely sentiment (I think its a Kristina Werner set as thats her handwriting popping off the card).

I cut the elements out using my Brother Scan and cut and coloured up the flowers and stems with copics.  I then laid things out and picked all the pieces up with Glad Seal and Press.   I even remembered to take a photo of my card plan before colouring (this is new to me)

. 

This card is much bigger than what I would normally make its nearly 6inches tall and 5inches wide.  Ill have to create a handmade envelope.      When I do i'll share that.   I am thinking of lightly stamping the images on the envelope to match it all in.

Its now your turn to play, head on over to the Challenge Blog and link up your creations.  As always its anything goes.

Thanks for popping in xx

Another Challenge for

and we are happily sponsored by 

I got to use the lovely image

Amalie and Crinkles

I printed her on a different card stock, I think it was from a "field" book of paper.  Its heavy weight and slightly textured.  I was worried that Copics wouldn't like it but I actually like the blend I got with it compared to the smooth finish on xpress it.

I had a new blueprints die set and some other MFT dies for all the die cuts and some odds and ends from the embelishment box and its done!

My sentiment is made with black vinyl on the cameo.

I hope you visit both our sponsor and the challenge blog, I look forward to seeing your creations.

Thank you to our sponsors from Creative Fingers DT - Oddball Arts

Oddball Art Co was one of the generous sponsors of Creative Fingers Challenge Blog this year and to say thank you to them for their support I created the following card.   This is using

Big Eyed Christmas Elf Ellie

I used my CTMH papers for this card (yes I found them hidden neatly away) and Vinyl for the sentiment.  I have found it near impossible to stamp a sentiment on the CTMH embossed card so Vinyl was definitely the right choice.   

I'm joining in the Oddball Arts Anything goes challenge over at the Mixed.Mediaology Facebook page. and the mid month challenge of Winter at The Odd Balls Challenge blog.

DillyBeans is also a wonderful Sponsor of the Creative Fingers Challenge, these images are new to me and when you visit the store you will see how varied they are.   Its so nice to see images that can be as individual or quirky as you are!

I was lucky to receive the Penguin Framed image to use

I really wanted to have lots of red on this image, I printed him up huge (that square of the image is 9cm tall and wide) and due to the fax that red and i aren't friends when colouring I decided to piece it.  I loaded the image into my silhouette software and did a trace and split it up and just selected the parts of the image i wanted to be red, cut and wallah.  Simple paper piecing.   No scissors were harmed in the making of this project!

Thanks for Visiting Today.  Please be sure to visit all our wonderful sponsors and send them some spending love xxx

Creative Fingers with Polka Doodles

I was very excited when I heard that PolkaDoodles was sponsoring the Creative Fingers challenge blog, I ran over to the store and grabbed some images (too impatient to wait for a sponsor image.. but ill use that in another post for sure)

Our theme was simply Winter, which I used loosely as Winter in Australia was months ago and isn't at Christmas Time...   which ended up being the theme of my card.

I used some products that had been hiding in my stash like the Amy R sentiment and the snow flake dies as well as my newly acquired Mama Elephant stitched dies.

The image is from Polka Doodles (of course) and can be found here
