What's New Pussycat?

Good Morning all, where did the weekend go?

I can't believe it's Monday already!

It's time for the new challenge over at Eureka Stamps!

The theme this time is

#160 Anything goes!

It just doesn't get any easier than that does it?

We're also having a Design Team call, check out the details here.

It's open to all levels of crafters & you don't need any previous DT experience!

So, on to my card!

I've used the super cute image Digi 409 - Checkerboard Cat 

to make my Black & White Card. 

I had the old Tom Jones song What's New Pussycat going around 

in my head the whole time I was making his card!

I shaded the image slightly with a grey promarker to give it a little depth.

I added a tiny little heart button from my stash, over the little heart on the image

The spotty paper is from Papermania.

The lace is from my sash & the faux buttons were done with an embosslit!

The image & sentiment were cut out with Spellbinders dies

I distresses the edges of the paper, image & sentiment panel with a pair of serrated scissors

I kept this card fairly flat for posting but I feel I managed to give 

the impression of depth with the matting & layering.

Thanks for stopping by today, I do hope we'll see you in the challenge,

remember you don't have to use a Eureka Stamp to enter, but there is

a little incentive if you do! 

Don't forget about the DT call too!

Hi di hi all! Happy Hump Day!

It's all downhill from here towards the weekend! Yay!

It's time for a brand new challenge over at Crafting For All Seasons!

The theme this time is

Lace & Pins

Here's my card!

I used an image from our sponsor who is our very own Jani!

Janis Kreativwelt

The prize is 3 of her exclusive images!

You just can't buy them!

I used Ball Of Wool! 

Which I printed out several times, coloured with flexmarkers

I cut one image out, with a nestie then fussy cut sections of the rest,

allowing me to decoupage it up. It looks really effective IRL!

I inked the image while it was still in the die & dotted about with a flexmarker

for a bit of interest in the background.

The buttons are from my button jar. The flower button was  a spare button 

from the suit I wore for my neices wedding a few years back!

I threaded a little button twine through them & tied little bows.

I added a dress form die cut which I embossed & inked,

some lace from The Ribbon Girl & a couple of pins from my stash.

The DP is a mystery so if you recognise it let me know!

Thanks for looking & I hope to see you in the 

Pins & Lace challenge over at CFAS!
