LOVE GROWS - GD Ivette

Hello everyone!  I'm Ivette, guest designer for Fitztown's Challenge Blog, Challenge #20  3 Designer Paper.  

 

Copic pens used to color in the entire image. Added highlights, shading and Glossy Accent on the bear, mice and shovel.  Flower Soft to bring out the different shades of greenery.  I used Ultra Fine Sage, Christmas Green and Shamrock.

These nice velvet brads were glued on from Doodlebug Designs were the right size for the tray of plants Teddy is carrying.

 

While the Teddy image dried, I began the  multi-matting process. 

1-5"x 7" Recollections adhesive back printed cork. Distressed it with DI Walnut Stain.  2- 6 1/8" x 4 3/4" piece of American Crafts black.  3-  4 1/8" x 5 5/8" from DCWV's Mariposa Premium Matstack green leafy piece.  4- 5 5/8" x 4 1/8" from G45's Bird Song's 8x8 pad.  5-  5 1/8 x 4 3/4"  of Bazzill's Phoenix (red dotted) cardstock.  6- 5" x 3 1/2" of Crushed Velvet cardstock by Doodlebug Design.  7- 4 5/8" x 3 14" of  American Craft's white cardstock which Teddy was printed on.  I also had a 6" piece of black velvet ribbon from Celebrate It (Simply Narrows) which I purchased at Michaels. Enough matting for you? 

Hope you enjoyed my card for this challenge and more importantly, I hope I was able to inspire you.

Please take a moment to  join and view some of Fitztown's images.  Also, pass by my blog, "Escaping Understanding" and view some of my current and past projects.  Don't forget to join my blog to receive updates on my projects.   Good luck and have an awesome Super Bowl weekend!!

DT Judy - Three Designer Papers

Judy here, this is the card I made for the 3 designer paper challenge this week right here at Fitztown.  You still have time to enter the challenge.  This is a good challenge to use up some of your scraps of designer paper that you have been hoarding. Just create your card and enter it here. 

My card was made with one of the teddy bear designs from Fitztown collection of teddy bears created by Morgan Fitzsimons. I just love this teddy bear image.  The teddy bear could be used for Christmas, birthday or any other celebration. 

I used Copics to colour my image and found 3 pattern papers in my stash to make up the background of my card.  I stamped the sentiment from my stash of unmounted stamps on to one of the pattern papers, used a banner die cut to cut it out  and added a button to complete my card.  Have a creative day. 

GD Jacqui Challenge 20 / 3 Designer papers

Hello once again crafters it's Jacqui here again with my inspiration card for Challenge No 20.  For this card I used the Teddy 16 digi stamp. Once again I coloured it with promarkers and cut it out with an SB die. After colouring my image I decided on purple and blue tones for my card and black mats to make them stand out. After that it was stash all the way lol. I went through my stash and found loads of papers in purple tones and it was quite hard to narrow it down to three! But eventually I chose a flower paper, a stripe and a glitter one. I used my usual 8x8 card (still trying to break this habit. lol) and some black card for my mats with blue in the middle to break it up. My base layer is the flower paper on black, the next is the stripe paper on blue and the top is the glitter paper on black. I added some purple bling down the sides of my middle layer and some purple and blue ribbons down  the side of my base layer. I added a couple of blue flowers a sentiment and a bow to finish. I hope you like it and if you do let me know. I look forward to seeing your creations, so till next time have fun.  Jacqui

Challenge #16 AND Challenge #17 Winners

Oops! Mea culpa! I have so many apologies to make!
First, it seems I forgot to announce Challenge #16 winner so I will be announcing both winners today for Challenge #16 - Winter / Blue / White and Challenge #17 - Anything Goes! 

Second, I had to disqualify several entries because Fitztown challenge rules were not followed. Please be sure to read the challenge rules here, in particular #8 so this won't happen again!! :( We are so sorry we put certain restrictions on our challenges but this comes straight from owners of Fitztown images and is not a DT Coordinator or Design Team decision.

Finally, I was unable to comment on all 22 fabulous entries for our AG challenge. Oncologist has changed my meds once again and I was out sick for almost a week and a half! So sorry but OMGee! All the entries were just fabulous and thank my lucky stars I had to use Random.org to chose the winner! We had 11 entries qualify using Fitztown images! Woohoo! 

Thank you to everyone who entered our challenges, #16 - Winter / Blue / White and #17 - Anything Goes.

GD Deni Recipe

Hello and welcome to Fitztown :-) This weeks challenge is a Recipe Challenge.

I have to admit this is my first recipe challenge.. I had no idea what I was doing and actually thought you had to put a recipe on the card lol.

Recipe

1 Ribbon/bow

2 Buttons

2 Flowers

1 Clip/stitch/fastening

2 Patterned Papers

Glitter (of any kind)

The image I have used today is le 2, it is from The Last Enchanter collection of digital stamps.

I originally thought of doing a twins birthday card, but couldn't make it work. So then I thought valentines card, I loved the love hate type vibe the image gives off. Again I just couldn't get my head into it, I then starting pulling out my sentiments to see what would jump at me before putting the card together.

That's when I came across my Brother's and Sister's stamps from Amy R of CC Designs, I then had my card in my head ready to go :-) I stamped the sentiments using Versafine Onyx Black on x-press it blending cardstock.

I have used 2 flowers in the girls hair, faux stitching around the card, 2 buttons on the side, shoelace type ribbon from my stash, glitter on the arrow and the boys arm band, and lucky last 2 pattern papers, the first one is the dots and the second one is the arrow which is cut from a matching patterned paper.

Can't wait to see you all play along, why not think out of the box.. sometimes things just fall together :-)

"DEFENDER OF FITZTOWN"

 Hello bloggers!  My name is Ivette, and I'd like to tell you how exciting it is for me to be here with you as guest designer on Fitztown's Challenge Blog!  It was so much fun working on this canvas piece.  I would like to take you on a ride inside my imagination as we play along with Challenge #18 Kraft Paper.  Hope you get inspired! 

I began with a piece of canvas that I applied gesso and when it dried I then used my TH Distress inks and went to town... Fitztown that is!!! 

 

I used my TH stencil (Rays) and a 6x6 tree branch stencil by D&W.   I also used a 6x6 stencil by Prima, to form the stone side of a castle wall on the right side of the canvas.  I added details to it using Copic pens and micron colored pens.  The castle in the background I created by hand out of vellum.   Then I began adding colors, shade, and highlights which brought it to life.    

 

I truly enjoyed working on this Fitztown image.  He was colored with copic pens.  I added a crown and placed tiny red rhinestones on it to bling it up a bit.  Every defender needs something to defend himself with, so I made a shield out of metallic cardstock and added a tiny red heart gem in the center.  Is he a trooper or what?

There's a tiny dragonfly passing by underneath him. 

  

 I hand drew some birds in the distance as well as some puffy clouds in the distance by applying white Liquid Applique, by Marvy.  It was then heated with a heat gun.  Liquid Applique is a long time favorite product of mine.  
The bird on the upper right is a Beads Landing charm.  I added some TH Pen Nibs as part of the castle.  They just belonged in there. 

The waterfall is actually a Jolee sticker.  By hand I extended the flow of the waterfall using my copic pens.  It was finished off with a generous amount of Glossy Accent.  The mountains were created with white acrylic paint and various colors of TH's Stains.  I used a fan brush technique to create far away trees.  When it dried, I went over it with copic pens to again, bring out the highlights/shading and details.  The trees are from TH's Edge die, Trees that I cut apart and colored with my Distress inks.  The darker trees in the foreground are from Martha Stewart's Pine Tree punch.  The deer by the waterfall was also a MS punch.  The two miniature trees, (one on top of the waterfall and the other on the bottom) were purchased from Retro Cafe Art.  The rocks below and above the waterfall were created out of TH's Kraft Glassine Paper that I tore into pieces, then I rolled them on the ink pad, then clued down onto the canvas.  The smiling half a moon I believe is from Beads Landing.

 

 Here's a close up of the lower right corner of the canvas.  I added moss into the broken terra cotta mini pot that I had leftover from a previous project.  The burgundy stems coming out of the pot I made with wire, glue and flower soft.  If you don't know flower soft, I suggest you look it up.  It's amazing!  I'm actually surprised that I don't see it used often.  To finish off the right side of the canvas,  I decided to use TH's ball beads and this cute little lady in red bug. 

  

 You can see the puffy clouds and the rocks better in this photo.

 

 Hope you enjoyed the ride into my imagination and more importantly,  I hope you were inspired!  If you'd like to view more of my work, check out my blog named, "Escaping Understanding" at by going to: n1sunrider.blogspot.com
Don't forget to join and play along on Fitztown's Challenge Blog!
  Thank you for taking the time to view our blogs.
Have a great day everyday!

DT Penny - Kraft Paper Challenge

Coloring On Kraft

Hello, I am Penny and I am posting for you today! The challenge today is to color on Kraft. I am using Car 3 one of Fitztown's awesome images. I used Kraft paper by Bazzil and I colored my image with Copic Markers and a couple Prismacolor pencils.

I used Graphic 45 paper and sponged it all up with some Memento Rich Cocoa and Tuxedo black inks. I used cool grays and added some reds and yellows with a couple Prismacolor Pencils. This is going to make a great card for my son-n-law tomorrow. I hope you like and are inspired to start creating a little something of your own. 

Happy Crafting!!

DT Kate

Hi Kate here ! We got our first snow, but normally it will come in November.

   Now it's time to show what I have created for this challenge.

 The theme is Coloring / use kraft paper and I made a CAS card.

I cut out the image and put it on a black background and then more kraft paper.

My only embellis are pearlmaker!

So come and join us in this challenge!

Have a fab day
