Coffee Filter Art Card

Good Morning :)

I hope you have had a good week :) It's been the normal busy type of week here, poorly boys, work, gymnastics classes all the usual :) Although the new website for Crafts 4 Eternity is a step closer to being completed YAY!

I'm so glad it's Friday and I can have the weekend to catch up and get ready for the scrappy retreat next week!

As it is Friday we have a new challenge at Crafts 4 Eternity, this week we would like you to share projects which feature some handwriting. Our lovely sponsor Sassy Studio Designs are offering one randomly selected winner 4 images from their fabulous collection and of course there is gorgeous inspiration from the DT girls.

Hop over HERE to check it out!

My card this week was a made using a technique I taught at the Crafts 4 Eternity crop last weekend.

I stamped, stenciled and splatted ink on to a coffee filter then cut out heart to add to a very CAS card.

The sentiment was handwritten. I'll admit I wrote in pencil first lol!

Don't forget to share your handwritting projects with us HERE.

I'm off to start the weekend! What are you up to this weekend?

Have fun, thanks for stopping by

Special day tri-fold aperture card

 Hello everyone :)

I'm running late with everything this week! Way too many pots on the boil lol!

This weeks C4E Recipe challenge is a colour recipe.

We would like you to share projects that use any combination of the colours in the image.

Our sponsor this week is Crafty Sentiments Designs who are offering one randomly selected winner a choice of 3 digital stamps from their collection.

My card this week is a class I taught last month, a Tri-fold aperture card.

I've used gorgeous Bo Bunny Mama-Razzi papers which were left over from THIS kit.

The card has two apertures the inside one is smaller than the front one.

 It is a small card only 4 inches, but it took a while to get all the cutting and embellishments right.

The sentiment is a Bo Bunny stamp. All the edges of the card and papers were inked and Stickled.

The little wood veneer camera is from Studio Calico and the acetate film strip was in the Captured Moments Page kit.

Hop over HERE to play along and take a look at the gorgeous DT creations!

Have a lovely sunny weekend thanks for stopping by!
