That's Crafty Purple Passion Challenge

This week is my Sister- in- Laws birthday so I combined making her card and the purple challenge.

I made the tag first which was easy, just layering and a bit of stamping.  I then covered my card base in grey patterned paper and added to stripes of coloured paper down the edge.  I then attached the tag to the card.

Lavinia Challenge Anything but a card

August Challenge for blog.laviniastamps.com

Anything but a card.  I decided to make a gift tag.  I used the above stamp set.  I love the sea horse stamp, so I started with that.  I embossed in gold, then I used the Jellyfish tentacles to make an edge all around.  I thought it needed more so cut a slightly larger piece of black card and repeated the tentacle stamping in a different colour.  I used black fun foam to the top panel to give a bit of height.

That's Crafty Masks and Stencils Challenge

thatscraftychallenges.blogspot.com
This was a real challenge for me, I have some texture paste and only a couple of masks/stencils, but I have never used them on cards before.  I started with the Tim Holtz Rays Stencil on the top half of my Kraft card.  I used some texture paste and coloured some of the rays with a Spectrum Noir pen.
I then used a mask on the bottom half of the card which I coloured with Tim Holtz distress inks.  This didn't really work as well as I was hoping so I used the same mask moved slightly and dabbed my embossing ink pad over then covered in Wow embossing powder and set with my heat gun.  I wanted it to look like water and was quite pleased with the result.  I cut out the tops of the houses from the paper and stuck to the card.

I started with the spotty paper and then decided it needed more so cut the flag shape and added some dark wood grain effect paper underneath.  I cut the rectangles with my new stitch die (loving it).  I stamped the books and owl and coloured with spectrum noir pens.  The sentiment was stamped in black ink and I added foam behind to add interest.  I then poked a brad through the top of the rectangle to give the look of being pinned to the card.

Another label card  this owl stamp is my favourite at the moment, I've used it lots of times.
I started with some soft pink paper from my stash and die cut it with a stitched rectangle.  I then stamped ink blots with a waltzingmouse stamp. After colouring with Spectrum Noir pens I covered the whole owl in clear embossing powder and then stuck googley eyes on.  I die cut the labels in patterned paper and vellum, tied with pink bakers twine and added some sequins.  I then stuck the owl onto the tag and attached to card front.
