Challenge 87 at Crafty Cardmakers


Hi all, it's challenge time again over at Crafty Cardmakers! 

Our latest challenge is hosted by Yvonne who has chosen the theme 'Friendship'.
Yvonne would like to see the word 'Friend' or 'Friendship' included somewhere on your card/project.


Please ensure your card has one of the two words stated above to qualify for a winner or Top 5 slot. 


PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE RULES BEFORE ADDING YOUR CREATION AND CHECK IT MEETS THE CRITERIA AS LAID OUT ABOVE - ANY ENTRY NOT COMPLYING WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE REMOVED 

We are sponsored by SATURATED CANARY with 2 of their gorgeous digis and SIR STAMPALOT with these two fabulous prizes:- Hero Arts Fancy Friendship Stamp Sheet and 'Our Friendship' single stamp.

Now onto my inspiration for the challenge. I was quite excited about this challenge, I have been a fan of one of our sponsors, Krista Smith who designs the fabulous Saturated Canary images, for quite a while and love her work so couldn't wait to colour one of her images for my card.

Here is my card:



I have used the fab Harley and Haley image from Saturated Canary coloured with ProMarkers. I wanted to keep the card really simple to showcase the fab image. I die cut a card blank, inked around the edges with Distress Ink added the sentiment and some gems. The image was mounted onto the card with silicon glue to add a bit of dimension and I added some stickles for a touch of bling!

Please come and join in the challenge and take a look at the fab creations of my fellow team-mates.

That's all for today, thanks for looking.

PLEASE BE SURE TO CHECK OUT THE RULES BEFORE ADDING YOUR CREATION AND CHECK IT MEETS THE CRITERIA AS LAID OUT ABOVE - ANY ENTRY NOT COMPLYING WILL UNFORTUNATELY BE REMOVED


We are sponsored by 

DI'S DIGI DOWNLOADS
with a $10 GIFT VOUCHER

and
THE STAMPMAN
 We are kindly sponsored for this challenge by The Stampman (and Lady of course!) who are ofering the winner a £10 voucher for their store, you can spend this online, in the shop or if you're lucky enough to see them at a show!  They have a ton of items in store, enough to tickle any crafty taste bud.

So, here is my take on the challenge:


I have used a Lili of the Valley rubber stamp, coloured with ProMarkers, die cut with a Spellbinders die and inked around the edge with Brilliance ink pad.
The background paper is from Papermania's new Chronology range. I have debossed the black card base for interest....actually I meant to emboss it but put the card in the embossing folder the wrong way round :o)!!
The bunting and 'boy' is die cut and the bunting is threaded with bakers twine.


Now it's time to pop over to the Challenge to see the creations of my fabulous team mates.

That's all for today, I'll be back again soon. Sharon x
