Crafty Gals Corner Challenge #261

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

****************************

So for my design project, I made this card:

Using: Snow Globe No. 1

Mirtillamente Craft Shop

This card was so fun to color! And I had the perfect paper for the background! The colors of that paper inspired the colors for my Snow Globe. I even put a "snowflake" on the tip of his nose! 

I used my Tri-Color Markers for this project. Although you can't see it, I put a layer of acetate on the globe section to represent glass. I then layered it on top of the blue and silver paper, placed that onto the top of black, and then a color to match the teal color of the designer paper as the final layer. 

This was a really cute image! It's so adorable! I hope that you will drop by and join us over at the Crafty Gals Corner! 

Thank you for stopping by!

It’s already time for a new challenge! 

Challenge #260 ~ Anything Goes w/optional twist - Make it Spooky!

    Hello crafting friends, and welcome to this month's challenge

 at Crafty Gals Corner! 

It’s always exciting to see the different ways everyone comes up with for the challenges.  And as usual, it’s always hard to pick out who will win, because we love all of them, and we consider everyone a winner!

Here are our sponsors for this month’s challenge.

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

The Paper Shelter

Prize: 3 Digital Stamps

On the 25th of September 2024, Veronica, co-owner of The Paper Shelter store, tragically passed away. To honour Veronica, Pedro, the other co-owner, will be continuing The Paper Shelter store, and we will continue with our challenge, remembering how much passion Veronica brought to their art, and how much she will be missed. To learn a little more about Veronica's kindness, generosity and creativity, please see the post on The Paper Shelter Blog. 🙏

So now on with my project. For this month, I am using a digital from Polkadoodles, Ruby Raindrop Umbrella.  Here she is:

Isn’t she a real cutie? I thought I’d do her in seasonal colors, since I don’t do Halloween. Before I do anything else, after I print out my image, I go ahead and color her. And then once I color her, I decide on what colors I want to use for my papers and backgrounds. And this is what I came up with this time around. And I love the colors And hope you do too!

I hope that you will join our challenge, And share the challenge with others! Thank you for stopping by!

Blessings,

A note from Rachelle Anne Miller:

I am an artist & designer living in the beautiful Adelaide Hills in South Australia with my husband and three amazing children! I love to create and am especially drawn to all things cute. I've worked on children's books, greeting cards, craft supplies, children's room décor, tech accessories, and more. I love to bring out joy and imagination in my art and create something a little different to inspire and make you smiley.

*****************************

Here is what I did:

 Happy Birthday Character Creator Set

RAM Stamps

Isn’t she adorable!? Use my colored markers to color her head for the background I used and diagonal stripe Pattern on top of a black cart talk base. And I thought it would be fun to add freckles to her face in two different colors of shoes. I added a ribbon for her belt.

I hope that you will join us for our challenges this month! I love seeing all the different ideas come in for cards. It’s always hard to pick the winners for the challenge. Of course we think everyone is a winner!

Jeanie

Using: Christmas Angel

Colour of Love

So for my card, I used this amazing little angel, simply called Christmas Angel. She's adorable and so fun! I wanted her to look happy and have bright colors. I used my TriColor Markers for her, and once done, I cut out a background stencil and added her on top of the pink background. I added a couple of snowflakes and a sentiment. I didn't want to add too much, because I wanted her to have the full attention.

Over the years, we have seen a lot of beautiful cards who joined the challenges. They are never easy to choose from, because we consider everyone a winner! But it's always more fun to try for the giveaways! So I hope that you will join in our challenge for this month!

Blessings,

Prize ~ 3 Digital Images

* * * * * * * * * *

Using: Roses

LeAnn's World 101

This week's challenge was anything goes with a twist of fancy fold card. I chose to do the Z fold card, angling the third panel. I colored my roses with ink oxides, and then didn't a little bit of colored pencils inside the roses. The inside of the card is pretty self-explanatory. Everyone on the team did a great job. I love how creative everyone is, and how creative our entrants are. So I hope that you will join in the challenge! 

Have a great week! And a great Father's day next week. Thank you for coming by. 

Many blessings,

Crafty Gals Corner Challenges #255

 Hello, fellow crafty people! Can you believe it's already time for another challenge?? The time is flying by! My Dad always said, "The older you get the faster time goes by." And you know what? I believe him! It sure is going fast! My last grandchild will graduate this year.

The theme for our challenge at Crafty Gals Corner this month is: 

~ Anything Goes w/Twist being Add Lace &/or Pearls ~

 Our wonderful and very generous sponsor for this challenge is 

Moondrea Designs

Prize ~ $10 Gift Certificate

For my card, I used the Gina Antoinette.  And here is what I did:

Isn't she lovely? I just love her! So for my colors, I used TriBlend from Spectrum Noir. These markers are awesome because they have a great solution for combining colors....from light to Dark. Hence the name.

I simply mounted her on a white cardstock and then onto the black, Then I added flat pearls for her jewelry and added a lace bow with a pearl button.

I hope you enjoy her and that you get some inspiration from her! Please head over to Crafty Gals Corner and join in on this fun challenge!

Blessings, 

Jeanie Ellis - Scrapbookingmamaw
