Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge #236 ~ Music

Good Morning :)

Today we have a new challenge on the C4E Recipe Challenge blog.

This week we would like you to share projects with a MUSICAL theme or element.

It's my turn to sponsor this week and I am offering one randomly selected winner a choice of 3 digital stamps from the C4E collection.

As always there is gorgeous inspiration from the very talented DT girls too!

All the details, entry and DT inspirations can be found HERE.

I do not have a DT project this week as I am busy with the new C4E website which will hopefully go live at the beginning of August! 

Have a wonderful weekend thanks for stopping by

Stencil Stamping Hello Card

Good Morning :)

I have my DT card for this weeks C4E Recipe Challenge to share.

All The challenge details, entry and DT inspiration can be found HERE.

My card uses a technique I taught at the C4E Crop and workshops this month, stamping with stencils.

This is a great way to get more from your stencils and can create fabulous backgrounds for cards, layouts and journal pages.

The technique is far from new as many people who use inks with stencils will 'blot' the stencil on to another page or piece of paper so as not to waste the ink. For this card I did not ink through the stencil at all but added ink directly onto the stencil then pressed it on to the card.

Once the ink was dry I stamped over it with Versafine ink and two different stamps.

The die cut feathers were cut from silver miri card and added on to the card with sticky fixers and some cotton thread behind.

To finish the card I added a few sequins and stamped a 'Hello' sentiment with Versafine ink.

I seem to be adding cotton thread to all my projects at the moment lol! 

Do you have a repeating element in your projects?

That's all from me today, thank-you for stopping by have a great weekend!

Red, White and Blue Card for Crafts 4 Eternity Recipe Challenge

Good Morning :)

I am back today with my DT card for this weeks C4E Recipe Challenge

 ~ RED, WHITE and BLUE.

All the challenge details, entry and gorgeous inspiration can be found HERE.

My card today was made for my nephew who is 13 today!!

The background was created with a Crafters Workshop stencil (Stacked Triangles) and red Stazon ink.

I then stamped over this with a stitch stamp (Bo Bunny) and Arrow stamp using Chipped Sapphire Distress ink pad.

I flicked some Chipped Sapphire ink and Maya Gold gold paint over the top before adding the embellishments.

The die cut cog was coloured with red Stazon ink and layered on top of red, white, blue and gold cotton thread.

The gold arrow is from this months page kit. The numbers are some very old Thickers!

A few gold sequins finished off the card.

This seems to be my "go to" design at the moment lol!

Do you have a "go to" design which you repeat often?

Thanks for stopping by today have a great weekend!
