2014 Card Girls Challenge 34 : Paper Piecing

I cut all the pieces on  the Cameo, distressed the edges and then put the pieces together with glue and puffy pads. I added some liquid pearls to the whites on the eyes. The flag is attached to a painted match stick and punched with a mini heart punch.

Till next time... we are taking a 3 week break as one of our sister's is coming to South Africa for a visit. We will be back at the end of October.

2014 Card Girls Challenge 33 : Twinkle Twinkle LIttle Star

I cut a star border and loose stars in different sizes from the Doodlecharms Cricut cartridge and layered them. I used a Gorjuss stamp, coloured with Copics, added Glossy Accents to the stars on her dress. I cut her and her fox out and stuck them on with puffy pads. My background paper is from the Fizzy Moon Christmas for Him paper pack and the stars are from the Shimmer Stack and a piece of corrugated cardstock. I stickled all the stars using Star Dust Stickles. The sentiment tickets are from a pack I bought at a craft market a year or two ago.

I am also entering this card into the 2014 Card Girls Challenge 32 - Multi Fold Card

I used a Paper Shelter digi stamp "Autumn Attitude". She is coloured with Copics markers and I used a white gel pen for highlights. I cut the image out on a Nestabilities and distressed the edges with Antique Linen distress ink. The swirls were cut with a die on my Cuttlebug. I added Stickles to them. My paper is from the Bo Bunny paper pack called Vicki B. I sewed the papers on with a zigzag pattern with my sewing machine. I added a tag and it has an eyelet and a few burlap strands knotted through the eyelet. My embellishments are flowers, stickers and a few gems. The metal frame is Gorjuss and I stamped the sentiment inside.

2014 Card Girls Challenge 31 - Jar

I cut the mason jar and butterfly on the Cameo. My papers are from the Prima Delight and Riverbank Revels paper packs.  I distressed and stickled all the edges. I added sticky pearls to the pink paper. The flowers and butterfly are Petaloo. The turquoise flower is Prima.  I added some lace and a strip of pearls at the bottom and 3 gems. More lace bow and pearls on the lid of the jar. The words were stamped on a Nesties tag.

I decided to make an extra card using the same mason jar pattern. I also cut a picket fence on the Cameo and stamped it with a woodgrain stamp and distressed it. I added a strip of yellow burlap ribbon and some buttons with a strand of the burlap. The flowers are a variety attached with a glittered brad in the centre.

2014 Card Girls Challenge 30 - Copycat

I've wanted to make this card for ages. My sister in law made it in a previous challenge. I've done my best to get it as close to the original as possible. I've attached the original and my recreation. This technique I used was new to me. I printed the image on a laser printer. I painted a piece of fabric with white craft paint. While wet I place the picture face down on the painted fabric. Once dry I placed it in water and gently peeled the paper off leaving the image on the painted fabric. I then sewed it onto cardstock and added the flowers and leaves.
