GDT Day with Lynn

Hi everyone,

It's my day as Guest Designer to show you've what I've created this week for Fitztown

  

This week the challenge is Spots and Stripes and I had a lot of fun with it, finding some great matching striped and spotted designer papers to work with !!  

This image is called Winter 6 and can be found here at the Fitztown shop.

I coloured this with Copic Markers and added some ribbon and bling from my stash.  I have a huge roll of this lovely white satin ribbon and find I use it a lot, and can even colour it with my Copics to match my project(s).  Here of course I just left it plain white !!

Now I have a head start on my Christmas card making this year !!

I really wanted to colour the cute cat black, like my own cat Mystic, (shown here)

It's very hard to colour the image in blacks or dark grey's in my humble opinion, so let's just pretend this is my Mystic in the Christmas card above!

I hope you like what I've created and get a chance to play along with us this week 

so that you can perhaps win a prize.  

Please remember our rules recently changed, so check them out on the current challenge here.

P.S. I would like to also thank everyone who participated in the BUNNY BLOG HOP last week.  It was my first ever Blog Hop on a Design Team, and I had a lot of fun creating my cards, and also reading the wonderful comments from all the visitors to my blog. 

Thursday´s DT Card

My turn in this challenge here at Fitztown and the theme is Spots and Stripes

Cant belive that it's already April, time is running 

and you barely have time to realize that it will soon be summer again!!!

I have use the image Cameo 10 and color it with Faber Castell!

For the spots did I use an background embossed with a Sizzix folder 

and some dots on the bow and feather.

My embellis are: die cut heart, key, ribbon, flowers and Glossy Accent (rose on her head)

Hope you like it and will join our challenge this time!

Hugs Kate

DT Judy - Spots and Stripes Challenge Inspiration

This is my card I made for the current challenge, spots and stripes.  I used some paper I was saving from a paper pack called All Dressed Up.  I thought it had some great glitter paper that suited the theme of this challenge and the image I used called Cameo 1. I love her soft looking face and the color combo of pinks, silver and black. I think the glitter paper, flower and bling gives the card a very grown up dress look.

Come join in our challenge this week.  We'd love to see what you do with the spots and stripes theme. Thanks for stopping by!

Tracey's Day!!

Good morning it my day today

& I have made a gorgeous card for the new challenge 30 which is SPOTS & STRIPES.

This is my card hope you like it.

So here she is, I have used the lovely TEDDY 9 image you can get her from the shop here.

So I have used bright spring coloured for her. I do love these teddies just so much to colour in.

So have used my copics on the image & matted this on to a black card so she pops! Has the theme is spots & stripes I have printed off some baby pink & blue striped card & made in to flowers & butterflies. The backing is a dark pink dotted paper on to a 8 by 8 white base. The extras are the 2 bows in pale & dark pink, the sentiment & the pearl dots in the centre of the flowers.

Thanks for looking today

DT Ema

Ema here with my project for the current Challenge #29 - Fancy Folds. These types of cards always look so complicated to me until I actually get around to making one! This is a fold from a tutorial I found on Pinterest. I love it! I use it very often. It gives a card such an elegant look but it's super easy. 

Here's my card:

Here's another side angle view:

Here's the open view:

Kinda plain on that last one huh? I take a picture while it's open before I tie the bow and close it to embellish. I have a hard time making bows. Sad story but it's true! I've used Valentine 2 to make an anniversary card. There are details about how I put it together on my personal blog. I'd love for you to come on over and have a look there.

Thanks for stopping by and I hope you're taking a moment to join us in the current challenge. We've also got week 2 of Challenge #28 - Punches and/or Dies. The winner for Challenge #27 - Anything Goes will be announced Sunday at 6 PM, USA, EST. Be sure to come back and check that out! 

Don't forget! We've made changes to the challenge rules for more participants to be able to join in on the fun. Prizes were updated to reflect these changes. There were some tweaks made to the layout of the blog to make it easier to maneuver around on the blog. Be sure to check out the tabs on the top of the page.

We're smack dab in the middle of our Bunny Blog Hop too. You've got until Saturday, April 5th, midnight, USA, EST to hop along for some prizes. Be sure to check that out as well! 

Have a crafty day! ;)

Wednesday with Sande - #29 Fancy Folds

Sande here, with my Wednesday DT posting for our current challenge

"Fancy Folds".

I have made an Easel card. I wanted to try another folding but have to admit I was too buzy to do so. Maybe next time I'll try :) This fabulous image is one of the Fae images called Fae 31 by Morgan Fitzsimons. I have colored the image with my Copics as I always do. Look at those colours!! I can so feel the summer already!! All the supplies are from my stash. Please, visit at Fitztown store to check the gorgeous images and other stuff. If you want to buy some images and can't find it in the shop, please send an email to this address: sales@fitztown.com with the link to the image (posting) you wanna have. They are stocking the store and the all images may not be there yet.

Come to join at fun!!

GD Lynn: Dies and/or Punches

I created this card for the latest challenge here at Fitztown #28 - Dies and Punches 

This image can be found here - It's called FISH 5.

My friend just loves stingrays so I knew I just had to make her a birthday card with this. It looks a little masculine with the black and white and grey, but I KNOW she's going to love this card. I used one of my newest dies to make the diecut frame for the image. I also punched a bunch of circles out of the black cardstock and placed them around the image and card. They look random, but believe me, I struggle with random, so I'd have to say it was only "sort of random"...he he he. I'm really pleased with how this turned out and I even decorated the inside of the card: 

Once I completed this card, I decided I'd try to make a few more to have on hand as we can never have enough masculine cards, can we?! I hope you'll play along with the challenge this week.

DT Thursday

Kate here, I have made ​​this card with 3 cameo from the lovely  Cameo Collection

and color with her Tombows. 

And I used the same water I had to the shimmering watercolors, 

for an extra shimmery effect on the image. 

The theme this time is Use a die and / or Punch, so Therefore did I place her 

in a frame made with a die cut from Spellbinders. 

I spray it with a Copper Mist, just so lovely!

My few embellishments are flowers, ribbons, heart and a metal star!

Have a super nice day!

Hugs Kate

Judy DT - Dies and Punches

It is Judy here today with my card for the current challenge, using dies and / or punches in your project.  

To create my card I used Morgan Fitzsimons' image called Cameo 13 . I love this image, it is quite beautiful as are all of her images. I colored her with my Copic Markers and cut the image out with a Spellbinder Nestibilities die and layered it over another die cut.   To complete the card I added some feathers, beaded piece of lace and some bling. 

There is still time to enter your card in the current challenge. Just create your card and enter it here . 

GD Tracey - Dies & Punches

Good Morning

This is my project for the challenge dies & punches.

I hope you like it. 

So this is the lovely FL 1 which you can get from the shop here.

So has the challenge is Dies & Punches this is what I have used. First I have coloured the image with pinks. Cut out using a fancy circle die from spellbinders, around the edges have used a distress ink to give the images a soft feel. Then layered on to a rose paper & kraft card all using the different sizes of the fancy circle dies. This all on to more of the rose paper & kraft card. The white base is a 8 by 8. The rose is also made form a die & the leaves from a punch. The little extras are the pale pink bow & pearls.

Thanks for looking & please join in our challenges great prizes & don't forget to look at the DT creations because they are fab.
Tracey
