CBD Animal Antics Challenge

Animal Antic Challenge

January 30th thru February 5th

Hello Crafty World. This is Tammy and it's my turn to host the challenge over at Crafting by Designs. I'm happy to bring you a new challenge this week. The theme is animal antics and your creations should have an animal on it.

I have been taken an on-line card class call Clean and Simple Card Making 2. One day one one of the techniques was to create a mask out of plastic and place it on the front of the card. Ink the area with a bright ink and use white embossing powder over the top. I like the result.

I cut out a squirrel using my cricut. Then I used a sticker and a few heart rhinestones up in the corner.

Now's your chance to create something using an animal. I can't wait to see what you create.   Stop by Crafting by Designs to enter your creation. 

Getting Ready for Christmas - Crafting By Designs

Hello Everyone, I'm here today with the Getting Ready for Christmas card challenge.  We hope that when you play along with this challenge throughout the year, when the season arrives, you will have created enough Christmas cards for everyone on your list.  

Today I took a stab at using my Copics and a Bugaboo stamp to create a very simple and easy card. 

I started with coloring the tree and then trying to cut it out.  

As you can tell, I'm really rusty on blending the darker and lighter tones.  Hopefully that will come with a lot more practice.  

I used a sage color card stock for my base and Basic Grey Eskimo Paper for the mat.  

I have to admit that this is not what I had envisioned when I started.  I printed the tree stamp to large so I had to turn my card base.  Then i didn't have room for a sentiment on the front.  So I went with a real basic stamp on the inside from the A Muse Studio Tis the Season stamp set. 

 

As you can tell I'm hooked on trees right now.  So the challenge to go along with this card is 

use a Tree on your card.

Make sure to stop off at Crafting By Designs to submit your creation.  I can't wait to see what you make.
