This is the final week for The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog ATC or Fat Page Challenge. We would love for you to take part.
Before we had this challenge I had never made an ATC or a Fat Page before. I wasn't quite sure what they were, but once I knew, I had lots of fun making them. If you have never made one before, here is your chance to make one.
Here is what they are:
Fat Page (A simple explanation): 4 in x 4 in card that has about
as much goodness as you can fit on it without it looking tacky...A
great way to use up some scraps too!
ATC (A simple explanation): about the size of a baseball card
2-1/2 in by 3-1/2 in creation that doesn't necessarily fold - a great
way to show off your work with your information on the back side of the
card. You could do like you do with a fat page and add as much as you
can without it looking tacky...A great way to use up some scraps too!
Our sponsors this month have been Fred, She Said and Limited Runs Digital Stamps.
This week I have made a Fat Page and used an image from Limited Runs.
I coloured the image with Copic markers and Stampin' Up makers. I then sponged the background to create a sky looking background and mounted onto brown card to make it 4x4". Lastly I added various embellishments - flowers, gems, pearls, liquid pearls, butterflies, glitter and glossy accents.
Thanks for stopping by and for your comments. I gratefully appreciate all comments.

Welcome to my first creation for The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog (known as CCCB for short) with their challenge Halloween with Distressing - Challenge #9
Our sponsor is Limited Runs Digis.
This was a challenge for me. I have never made a Halloween card before and I am not a huge fan of Halloween however I wanted to make a card for my new role on the design team. I grew up not doing anything for Halloween and I guess here in New Zealand we don't celebrate it quite as much as they do in America. In New Zealand some children dress up and go "trick or treating", but that was something I was never allowed to do and my own children don't do it either. I don't like the idea of dressing up in scary costumes and going around the neighbourhood asking for lollies. So my card has stayed away from the traditional witches, ghosts and scary things and I have gone for something more neutral. It is something else I think of when it comes to Halloween - Pumpkins.
Here is my creation.
Supplies:
Image: Pumkin Patch from Limited Runs Digis
Markers: Stampin' Up Marker pens
Stamps: Leaf stamp set - not sure of the name
Cardstock: White, orange and black
Other: Distressing tool
Come along and see what others in the Design Team have made.
The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog would love to have you join us with this challenge and create a
Halloween project and include some distressing. There are no limits,
you can use any images, die cuts, etc... and can make anything you like,
cards, ATCs, minis, etc...
Remember you have until midnight on 31st October to submit your creations.
Thanks for dropping by and for your comments.
