DT-Kaija Friday!

It is Kaija  here today, it's my turn to present my card, the current challenge.

The topic is "Farm animals" 

I think this digital stamp is only created in the fit.

Copic Ciao coloring, I love the degrees of difficulty :)

The desire to try and look at succeeding and I think the way I did,

not  satisfied. Any extra stuff that does not need to.

If you just fell in love with this picture and you want to buy this,

Send an email to: sales@fitztown.com

All the images are not there yet.

Welcome to the challenge!

DT Ema

Ema here with my contribution to this week's Challenge #25 - Farm Animal. I've used one of the images from the Garden Collection, Garden #48. I had a little mishap when I was laying the image down. Haha! I guess I shouldn't be having wine while crafting! ;) 

Here is my card:

I used a paper pad from Michael's called Farm Fresh. The sentiment is from Create with TLC. I stamped the sunflower from a Michael's $1 stamp bin, colored it with Copic markers and then dabbed the center with some brown Liquid Applique. I tied it all together with some brown cording. There's lots more detail on by personal blog if you are interested. 

Be sure to link up your project! We'd love to see what kind of farm animal you would make a card with. Don't forget! We've updated our challenge rules! You can use any image to participate in the challenge and WIN! Winners using a non-Fitztown image receive one digi. Winners using a Fitztown image receive three digis. Isn't that great!?!

Thanks for stopping by!

Sande's Wednesday - Farm animals

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

"Farm animals".

You may have seen some cats in every farm, right? I have! So I made my card by using this fabulous Valentine 15 image and it seems to be cats enjoying themselves day at the yard. I have colored the image with my Copics as I always do. 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 Deni

Hello and welcome to another wet and miserable day in Sydney Australia. We are loving it :-) it's been very dry and muggy here so we have definitely needed all this rain :-) our grass is beginning to look green again.

Tonight I have created a Mother's Day card using one of the gorgeous images from the Valentine's Collection - Valentine 12.

I absolutely love this image as it is perfect for lots of occasions and not just Valentine's.

I have coloured the image using Copic Markers purchased from Craft-a-Lot here in Australia.

Copic Markers Used

R81, R83, R85, R89

G05, G16, G28

The sentiment is from a stamp set from Kaisercraft called Occasions CS916. I have stamped it using Verafine Onyx Black (I find this the best ink for fine sentiments).

Cardstocks are from Kaisercraft

Lace and twine are from my stash.

My apologies in not being around much lately, my son has been ill so we've been in and out of hospital :-(

Hope you like my card and thanks for stopping by.

Guest Designers for March / April 2014

Ema here announcing our Guest Designers for March and April 2014. I'm very excited to have these two talented ladies join our team! I'm sure you will be inspired by what they bring to life with some of Fitztown's fabulous images! We have Tracey Mowbray and Lynn Haines with us. Here they are to tell you a little about themselves.

Tracey Mowbray

My name is Tracey Mowbray. I live in Oxfordshire, England with my lovely

hubby & 2 boys who are my world (except crafting).

I've been making cards for 10 years and I also got into scrapbooking in a

big way, so crafting has taken over my life especially as both my boys are at

school.

I have a dream job of being a Craft Demonstrator for Debbi Moore Designs which see me going around the south of England meeting some lovely crafters.
Lynn

I am a crafty person who dabbled in many crafts over the years. My current passion is card-making and scrapbooking.  I found digital images and blogging in 2013 and haven't looked back. I love being a part of a couple of wonderful design teams, and love to participate in weekly card-making challenges. I'm known as Lynnpenguin in blog-land because I LOVE penguins and have a collection that numbers over 3,000 penguins and even had one beaded and sequined on my wedding dress. 

Please help me welcome these two talented crafters! We hope to see you playing along with our current challenges. Thanks for stopping by!

GD Ivette - Challenge #24 Stitching - ANAKIN

Hello again!  Ivette here with you to share my challenge #24 piece.

I purposely used image #6 from the store because this past Monday, Feb. 17th, I lost one of my best friends.  A black Lab named Anakin.  He would have been 15 y.o. on April 7th.  I dedicate this project in his memory.  He left behind a Maltese, Chase and a white Shepherd, Leia.  He is sorely missed and my heart is broken...

I began with a gessoed 10x8 canvas, used my Distress Ink, Broken China for the background, sealed it with Mod Podge.  I used my Copic pens, gray tones and a Copic Multiliner.

 

 I used vellum paper to cut out his wings with Tim Holtz's Layered Angel Wings die.  A halo created with thin gold wire.   

Jolee's white doves added to the sides of his name which is from TH's Newsprint Alphas.

 

I used ribbon with paw prints and stitched it down along the bottom of the frame using burgundy thread. A cloud with plastic doves I had laying around.  A tennis ball by his foot is from Jolee's Stickers. I finished the canvas by adding TH's Corners which I colored black with my Copic pen.

 

Hope you play along with us on Fitztown's current challenge.

 

In Memory of my beloved Friend, Anakin...

May the force be with you...

GD Penny: Final Post - Stitching

Stitching

Hello Penny here, I am back for another post today! It is all about stitching. 

Well one thing is for sure, I do not know how to sew. So I am doing some faux stitching. 

I am using the beautiful image from Fitztown called Cameo 3.

I hope you will join in this weeks challenge. 

I can't wait to see what you make. Have a wonderful crafty day.

My pattern papers are by My Mind's Eye. 

I used Copic Markers to color with, and some Spica glitter markers for the stitching. I also used a white marker by Sakura. I hope you enjoy all of the beautiful cards by the Design Team and are inspired to create something also. 

I have really enjoyed my time as Guest Designer here at Fitztown and look forward to more of their awesome challenges!!!

DT Judy - Stitching Challenge

It is Judy here with my Wednesday’s card. 

The current challenge is to create your project with some stitching on it. 

For my project I used a beautiful digital image from the Valentine collection,you can find the image here. 

Sewing is not my greatest talent but I managed to get my sewing machine out and edge my card.  I am not sure what you would call the stitch and I do not think I could recreate.

There is still time for you to create your card and enter it in this week's challenge.

GD Jacqui Robinson - Challenge 24 Stitching

 

Hi there guys, gals and FB pals lovely to chat with you again. I'm here to share my final piece as GDT for Fitztown and I've loved every second of it especially the images. There is such a wide range of digis that I've been spoilt for choice and will continue to use in the future. I'll definitely recommend them to everyone. Now about my card! For this card I've used the image "Cameo1" and you can find these images here. I've coloured the image with Promarkers and cut out with a Tonic die. For the mat I used a mask on black card with purple and gold glitter paste, then onto some gold card and the rest is from my stash.  My middle layer is a large flower stamp on  black card with a cosmic shimmer embossing lustre powder and once again on gold card. I wrapped some gold ribbon round it put my top layer on and then wrapped some purple organza ribbon over it all with a little black ribbon slider at one side and some  die cut some flowers under it. My base layer is a purple paper from my stash on some black card and I added some faux stitching on it with a ruler and black micron pen, then a little gold embellishment at the top and bottom. I really hope you like and have enjoyed seeing my work as much as I enjoyed showing you it. Please let me know if you do. 

Thanks, Jacqui
