DT Lynn: Challenge #39 - Fav Colours

This sure has been a fun challenge at Fitztown because we get to use our favourite colours.

Truth be told, PINK is my favourite colour, but lately I've been gravitating to PURPLE, so I chose to colour this love image (FAE11) in purples with a touch of pink.  I was very pleased with how she turned out.

I just happened to have this lovely purple ribbon in my stash and added the gems along the side to give it a bit of bling.

I hope you liked what I created and will play along with us at FCB this week.

GD Crafting Vicky: Favorite color

Wow time sure is flying by!!  It's time for me to share with you a card that I did for the favorite color challenge #39.

I have to admit, my favorite colors are yellow and green so I used a bit of both for this great card with the fabulous image Garden 6.  I also have another confession... I totally love chickens and hens!

The paper is from Simple stories - Take a hike. Totally love this paper!!!  I used as well some paper from GCD Studios - Nostalgia.  I used my label 12 and large square from Spellbinder.  I added some bling from Recollection.

Here's a closer look at the fabulous digi that I colored with my copics.

I really hope that you will be playing along the favorite color challenge!

GD Amy - Favorite Color

Please help the DT welcome Fitztown's June / July Guest Designer, Amy. This is what she'd like you to know about her and her first project:

Hi my name is Amy and I'm super excited to be a GDT Member for Fitztown & working with these amazing designs and Design Team! I live in beautiful Victoria, B.C. Canada, with my family and dog, Bubbaganoush (Yep, he's as cute as his name suggests! Lol ).

I have been crafting for several years, but it wasn't until May 2013 that I discovered the wonderful world of craft challenges and blogging. I've learned so much and made so many amazing friends along the way! I love all things crafty: Stamping, Paper crafts, Die cuts, embellishments...Oh the list goes on and on. I look forward to getting Crafty with you!

For my first challenge ~FAVORITE COLORS~ I used FL 5 .

I love the yellow and green tones together. I layered different CS and DP's together for different tones and textures. Paper-pierced the edges of the white layer and faux sewed it with a Spica Pen. Finished it off with a Fabric flower and pins in one corner and butterfly in the other. Visit my blog too for more details on this card or just to see what else I've been up to.

Thanks to the Fitztown team for this wonderful opportunity. 

Happy Craftin'!

Amy

GD Jacqui - Favourite Colour

Hi there everyone, it's Jacqui Robinson back for another GDT post for June and July with the amazing Fitztown images. I'm so pleased to be asked to participate again at Fitztown as I love the images and they are so easy to use and colour and there's something for everyone which I hope I show you in the next 2 months. 

So on to the Challenge!

This challenge is with your favourite colour which makes it so easy to participate in. I've used the image Cameo 10 from Fitztown and my favourite colour is...........Purple (bet you'd never have guessed lol).

I kinda went to town with my imagination for this one and I teamed it with some Katy Sue stuff that it simply seemed to be crying out for! So I just imagined her dreaming of her big day and the dress and shoes etc and they're purple I know but she doesn't look the conventional white dress type to me. In fact she reminds me of my daughter who won't be caught dead in a white dress lol (she's already informed me). So of course if she was dreaming of a wedding she needed ribbon and glitter and pearls the whole hog lol. 

So here's what I used (quite a lot I know)!

Cameo 10

8x8 card base

C&C pastel green mirror board

Crafters Companion embossalicous dots

White Card and a mask

Creative Expressions glitter gel

Green & Purple ribbon from my stash

Tonic corner die

EK success circle cutter

Half pearls from my stash

Spellbinder circle die

Flowers twig glittery stems from my stash

Katy Sue designs images from Fashion & shoes cd's 

So hope you're joining in with us and I can't wait to see what you make and if you like please let me know i'd love to hear from you.

Till next time cya l8r

Jacqui

You'll find the step by step on my blog if you want all the details.

GD Cathie - Googly Eyes

Hi Everyone,

Cathie here with my first Guest Designer Post for Fitztown -

I live in Adelaide in Australia with my husband of 8 years and two munchkins 6 and 3. I work three days a week and I am currently trying to finish my Diploma in HR. I have a lot of interests that I like to fill my time with, which as you can imagine doesn't happen very often with digital scrapbooking, chocolate making, sewing and card making. Of course my card making is currently taking the top spot with my new obsession with blog land and so here we are.

 Believe me when I say that I don't think I can convey how excited I am at this moment so I think it may be safer to go straight on to my card.

 I thought it was a great idea to turn Fitztown's Cutie 6 image  into a lovely pink stuffed toy for a baby card for my cousin who is expecting a little girl, and, to make it a little bit more special, I have created a circle easel card.

I have used Copics to colour the image and then raided my Kaisercraft Lullaby paper pack for the papers and embellishments. I have used quite a few different circle dies in the construction of this card and as such you can find a full list of supplies and a tutorial link on my blog House of Borowski.

Hopefully this has inspired you to link up your entry for the Googly Eye Challenge. You have until Sunday, June 15th, midnight EST USA.

Talk to you next time.

June/July GD - Cathie

Please help the Fitztown Design Team welcome our newest Guest Designer. Cathie is new to blogging and her enthusiasm is contagious! Here's a little something she'd like you to know about her:

Hi, my name is Cathie. My mum is incredibly crafty and artsy and, as a child, she taught me how to sew, knit and crochet. This led on to long stitches. Unfortunately, this also led to a lot of unfinished projects due to a short attention span, which I still have to this day.

I can still remember like it was yesterday, the fateful day my mother-in-law took me to my first Quilt and Craft Fair where I saw a demonstration of stamping with pigment inks and varied embossing powders. I knew I was hooked!

It was the first step: basic Christmas cards and birthday cards incorporating pre-made sticker embellishments and computer clip art. It wasn't until I had complications after having my son in 2011 that I discovered the world of YouTube and Blog land, mainly other peoples blogs with the exchange of ideas, techniques and card designs. The options were endless! To my husband's dismay, this was when the addiction really started. This also led to my love of digital stamps. The fact I could buy a stamp and receive it instantly (living in Australia does have its disadvantages), I could accumulate more stamps as they are cheaper and I can make them bigger or smaller depending on my finished card giving me the ultimate in creativity. 

I had been entering various online competitions but shying away from any that required a blog. It wasn't until my sister in law started a blog and encouraged me to get my card designs out there that I was bitten by the bug. I am so glad I did as I find it completely addictive - the ability to do the equivalent of standing on the roof tops yelling at the top of my voice - "I am sooo happy with this card!" is such a great feeling!

Cathie

GD Meggi

Please help Fitztown welcome Meggi as a featured Guest Designer! We're so excited to have her join the team. This is what she'd like you to know about her:

My name is Margret Bischoff, called Meggi. I am 60 years and live with my family in Bavaria, in a small medieval town. Indeed, I am in the Rhenish capital of North Rhine-Westphalia, Düsseldorf born.

Creativity was laid to me to say in such a way, in the cradle, because in our family jder in his kind an artist or musician. Already, from childhood materials (evidence) were like material (substance), wool, paper and everything what one can cut not certainly. Earlier these were the kniting and crocheting. For many years I have made formed cards, first "only 3D", then also crafting cards and scrapbooking. Before several years I have also discovered stamps for myself. With it I can give to my creations even more individuality.

Since some time I belong to the Design Teams for It's All About the Vintage and Beauty and also The Stamping Boutique. I occasionally am a guest designer on different challenge blogs, as well.

Thank you,

Meggi
