Crafty Calendar Halloween Challenge Card

Good evening everyone, It's the first Saturday in October so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calender.

October is the time for witches & spells so we're getting spooky with our "Halloween" theme for this month.

Considering I don't really celebrate Halloween, when I was looking through my stash for an image to use on my project this month I couldn't believe the amount of Halloween style rubber & digital stamps that I have.

I decided on a Kraftin' Kimmie stamp, I love their spooky style images, the one I used isn't one of their Halloween stamps, she's from the range based on the Wizard of Oz but I though she was perfect for my card.

For my card I have used:
Kraftin' Kimmie Wicked Witch coloured with copics.
The DP's are from my stash.

Creative Craft Challenge Card - Not A Square

Good morning all.  Hope everyone is having a good day so far...today we have a new challenge today over at Creative Craft and for this fortnight the theme is
"Not A Square!"

You may have noticed but I rarely deviate from the 6" square card so this was quite a challenge for me...

I decided to get my hardly used Cricut cutter out for inspiration and I found an octagon shape on one of the cartridges that I quite liked the look of.   I managed to manipulate the shape in the Cricut Design Studio so that the top edges overlapped and it resembled some sort of card shape.

I have another Christmas theme card for this challenge, just because I love this little bear image from our sponsor for this challenge Pink Gem Designs.

For my card I have used:
The image is "Barclay with Bauble" from Pink Gem Designs coloured with copics.
The DP's are from the First Edition Festive Treats paper pack


I'm entering this card in the following challenges:
Christmas Card Challenge - Non Traditional Christmas
Glitter & Sparkle Challenge - Anything But A Square
The Hobby House - Christmas
Allsorts Challenge - Use Your New Stash (The image is new)

Crafty Calendar Challenge Card- Anything Goes

Hi everyone.  It's the first Saturday in the month so it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar.

I hope everyone has had a good day....I,ve been working on a card today.  It's a commission for a 60th birthday and I just couldn't get it to look how I envisaged it in my head, it took me ages to decide on embellishments, papers, and then the layout.....and I had the same problems with the card I'm posting now for the Crafty Calendar Challenge.

The theme for this month is ANYTHING GOES.

For my card I have used:
Loveable Avie by Pretty Little Stamps coloured with copics.
The DP's are from a Laura Ashley paper pack
