JIC challenge and Simply B

Welcome to another challenge week with Team A at 

Just Inspirational Challenges.

Our sponsor this week is Simply B, who are

offering a $10 voucher to the store.  :)

Check out the store HERE

Here are this weeks inspirational photos, yes there

are TWO, to pick from. 

I chose to do the winter scene using 

"Rio Trimming The Tree" which was generously

provided to me by our sponsor.

I am on a kick lately of using different shapes for cards.

I inked a paper doily and used it as part of the 

background and punched out some snowflakes

using my Martha Stewart punch. Of course I added

some pearls and glitter and even managed to use

some ribbon. :O 

So, for a chance to win this awesome prize, just 

create a project using one of the photos as inspiration OR

use both and make two. :)  Don't forget to go to

Just Inspirational Challenges and link up your entry.

And don't forget to stop by the other team A members

blogs and leave them some love.

Summer Fairy Challenge at Simply Betty

Simply Betty Stamps.

This months challenge:  Create a simple background behind your fairy.

NOT a paper background or stamped background.  It has to be

stenciled or hand drawn etc.

Find full details HERE.

Here is my entry:

I used a 12x12 and a 6x6 template from Crafter's Workhop and lots

of orange ink to stencil in the background.  I colored her with copics and

added Stickles for some sparkle.  The flowers are made of felt.

I used my CM hexagon punches for the flower centers.

And yes, it is a card !!!

A bit closer pic to try and show the sparkle on her dress.

I chose to do the card sketch for this challenge and once again I rotated the sketch.  I used my cuttlebug and cut out this Tim Holtz heart using foam. It cut nicely. :)

Then I chose some of my favorite Paint colors. 

The foam painted and stamped nicely. 

The heart is more the color in the above image. The big tag I used is a clothing tag

from my stash of recycled products.  Love re-using products instead of throwing

them in the garbage.  :)
