Creative Card Crew Challenge #1

There's a new kid on the block in "Challengeland" going by the name of Creative Card Crew and their very first challenge is a colour one ~ GREEN.

There's a fabby prize on offer from this week's sponsor One Stop Crafts ... so it's got to be worth a try huh?

The paper and card used is from K.& Co. HOTP and English Paper Company and I felt they all worked pretty well together on this Mother's Day card.

**UK Mother's Day this year is 22nd March**

The image was one of a selection that sweet Tasha, (from Millies Magical Moments), sent to me for my birthday last month and is from Whiff of Joy Spring set (thanks for that info' Ann xx) ... isn't she pretty?
Whispers Brush Markers were used to colour her in before being cut out and mounted on top of the pretty ribbon band with silicon glue.
I especially wanted to use one of Tasha's images as my entry for this new Challenge Blog because she just happens to be one of "the crew."

So if you like joining in with craft challenges ... then all I can say is ... get yourself over there and have a go.
You know you want to!

This Thursday It's ... Guest Designer

Well today is the day I can finally reveal my submissions as Guest Designer for the "This Thursday It's All About ..." Challenge, which was based around a quote by Monet about 'COLOUR'.

"Color is my day-long obsession, joy and torment " ...

Lisa's Altered Art was the challenge sponsor and Patty kindly supplied a lovely selection of collaged images for the Design Team and myself to play with.

Project 1 :
Pink and green are one of my favourite colour combinations at the moment, so I made a gate fold card using K. & Co. text paper ...


... and lovely textured material scraps from my stash, matched the triple girl images quite well.
Green ribbon embellishments were added as a finishing touch.

Project 2 :
I used the cute Breast Cancer pink ribbon images for my 2nd project to make a "Reveal Hanging" ... (basically a 'hanging' which has bits to reveal LOL!) ... and adopted the Think Pink slogan.

My trusty scallop punch and various brads from my stash gave me the idea for the moving parts. The photos show it closed, (with all the bits hidden), and then fully open.

Apologies for the camera flash reflection ... it's the glossy photo paper I used for printing and my awful camera skills.

If you click on the images you should be able to see more clearly that all these cuties are carrying, or wearing, a pink ribbon.

I would like to thank the This Thursday Challenge Team for inviting me to be a Guest Designer and the sponsor Patty from Lisa's Altered Art, for allowing me to play with her collage sheets.
I only wish my time management skills had allowed me to do more than 2 projects.
