wheeee a LOT going on at rick st dennis, that craft place AND karleigh Sue Digi shoppe!

Hi there everyone, it has been an extremely busy and exhausting month, but I think I have managed to cram some pretty awesome stuff into it, and Today as well as being 1st of the new month  is the start of two new challenges on two different blogs! 

That Craft Place challenge blog

the new challenge that starts today is mothers day/anything goes.

I have made a tag using 'sugar mum' from the that Craft Place etsy Store

I coloured sugar using my copics - R08, YR07 YR14. and YR21 for the hair,

E000,E00,E21,E11,E04 

and G99,G94,and G21

I made a greyboard tag and ran it through one of my cuttlebug embossing folders- I had to do this once from each end as it was too large to fit!

I then used my ink tool and brushed the whole area with tim holtz distress ink in winter berries from that craft place,

to this i added the die cut clipboard I made using my mini clipboard movers and shapers sizzix (tim holtz) dies - into which i slipped the coloured image, after colouring the top and bottom parts with a N6 and N4 copic)

 I adhered it to the grey board with triple thick (also available from that craft place)

I fussy cut some of the mothers day sentiments that are available in the TCP etsy store, and added triple thick to those too to add dimension. 

I finished off by adding some tim holtz movers and shapers hearts, raffia twine, stickles, liquid pearls and buttons from my favourite  papermania vintage notes pack

(you guessed it, ALSO from TCP)

a little green 10mm grossgrain and a rivet in the top hole.

this creation is for my mum and I hope she likes it. I'm sure she will as she seems to like anything I deign to make her ;)




There is also some new releases at the That Craft Place etsy shop.. this is my card using back to work Betty!

to make this card I used copics:
e000,e00,e21,e11,E04,R20
E13,E15,E18
N8,N6,N4,N2
black cardstock
dovecraft monochromatic papers
sizzix scalloped die
sentiment created by myself
and holographic gems
