Final week of CCCB Father's or For a Male Challenge

This is the final week of The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog " Father's or For a Male" challenge.   We would love for you to take part in this challenge and you still have time.


One of our sponsors this month is Fred She Said.

I have used one of their lovely images for this card.

 

I have enjoyed my time as a DT member for The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog, but this post will be my last.  Due to family commitments and other things, I have decided not to continue in this role.  

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog would love you to join them still and I hope to as well from time to time.  Next month they will introduce their DT team - some continuing and some new members.  Their challenges will also become weekly ones.  Please come back and visit them.

For those of you who have visited my blog and left comments, I greatly appreciate it.  Thank you.

TCCB - ATC or Fat Page Challenge - Week 4

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.

TCCB - Week 2 ATC or Fat Page Challenge

It is now week 2 of The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog ATC or Fat Page Challenge.  We would love for you to take part.

This was the first time I have made an ATC and I didn't realise how much smaller than a card they are until I started creating mine.  I have used the Happy Flower digi from Fred She Says.

Here is my ATC.  

It is a fairly simple ATC. It involved printing the different aspects out, choosing the leaves and flowers I liked to add to the flower pot, some fussy cutting and then putting it all together.  I love the range of colours and flowers that were available with this digi image.  To finish it off I sponged the edges of the brown card, added some gems and lastly Glossy Accents to the middle of the flower and leaves.  

Thanks for dropping by.

I hope you will take the time to join our challenge.
