APTTC November

 A Perfect Time To Craft  time again.

One of our great sponsors this month is Beat Paper

And the image I chose is from an awesome set 

Naruto

I chose the main character but will be doing colour codes for all the images from this set.. 

The background on the card took me forever.  I mask off each colour band and used various shades of blue to give it the anime feel.  Grabbed a stencil from my stash and made the hazy smoke like image behind him.  

The sentiment was done using Word document  I even downloaded a free font that matches this theme.

The Queen

 Today I get to finally share my card I made when the Queen sadly passed away. 

I decided to keep this card for the card class I teach as I thought it was cute.

I used a freebie image of the corgi from Stampanniething, and the Queen image is from 

Kindred Stamps Travel set (limited editions)

I made multiple of these with 2 different sentiments.  That Union Jack die, also from Kindred Stamps,

And when I line these up it reminded me of the streets lined with the flags along the street with the Palace in the background.  

Colours I used with my copic markers were

Queen

Crown YR23 Y15 Y11

Hair C3 C1

Dress C5 C3 C1

YR23 Y15 Y11

Sash B37 B14 B06

Skin E00 E21 E95

Corgi

C3

E37 E35 E31

I did add some wink of stella onto her dress, shoes and crown, but as usual it does not photograph well.  

Happy crafting!

Finally found some time to play along this week.  And, again, I have gone with the Christmas theme. 

I made this card for one of the classes I teach.  I have used a Pink and Main stamp set called

Beachy Christmas. 

Kept the traditional colours for the theme and added the yellow to symbolize the sun.  I did cut the palm tree into 2 pieces so it extended above the circle/polaroid motif.

I did add the little present holding crab for a little fun element.  

Over here in Australia our Christmas's are smack bang in the middle of summer.  We love when we can make summer feeling Xmas cards instead wintery ones as this suits us better.  I am sure I will be making more using this set.  

I think I will make a few more of these to add to my stall.  You can always PM me on Facebook for any purchases (if you don't have time to make them yourself! )

Happy crafting!

Penny time again.  And this time, I got to play with an image from

My Besties

and it is called 

HARVEST BESTIES DOLL 24

Love how this turned out.  As we don't celebrate Thanksgiving here in Australia I thought I would add this cutie to my diary.  

I love these country colours so much.  And jeans blue is my favourite combo.  This girl is in the place where I currently like to be....in garden.

Koala-ified

 Hi!  I am back with another project for Digi Doodle Studios

 Each month I get to choose any image from the shop.  This time around I chose to use an image I actually bought. 

Koala - ified is a group of images and being an Aussie, I love using them! There are many said sets in the Pairable section under Digi images.

And who would not like to receive a koala for a baby card.  

Love making pop up cards and this is just perfect for this little guy to be hanging out in his tree in one.  

Honestly they are easy to colour.  And I love working in grey scale.  I used my T numbered Copic markers.  

Note - you will have to be quick to grab Digi Doodle Images as they are closing their site at the end of October to concentrate on their physical stamps.  

So don't dily daly.  

Happy crafting!

APTTC September

 

A Perfect Time To Craft Challenge time again.

We have two sponsors this month.  I got to work with 

Connie Fong

And here is my project using Bauble Gnome

I went a little textural with this one.  Grabbed what textures I had in my stash and just randomly added them to the 2 corners in different colours.  Santa is just hanging out in between showing you his bauble.  LOL

I really love Connie's images.  They are clean, simple and cute as. 

Don't forget to play along with us on the challenge page.  Check us out on facebook and check out Connie Fong's FB and Etsy shop.  You won't regret (but your bank balance might...hehe. 

Happy crafting!

Sienna Photographer

Digi Doodle Studio time again!

This month I went with something that would challenge me.  I normally like to use images that I get inspiration from straight away.  I have mojo issues sometimes when it comes to people images.  Especially with specific themes or actions.  

So I chose to use Siena Photographer

I imagined she was out and about, taking photo's and loving it.  In the park, beside a pond, photographing awesome shaped clouds.  Then I brought the rainbow to her.  Using classic colours for her outfit it all fell into place.  

The black and white sentiment really pops with all the colours behind it.  And to add a little something I adhered cleared sequins on each colour of the rainbow.  

Thank you for popping by.
