Artful Stampers - Team Challenge Blog Hop - Sketch Challenge #4

We have another wonderful blog hop...A second Sketch Challenge.

I had fun with this one and have since stamped a little "congratulations" at the bottom of the card. I've only made one this time around, time limited...

The challenge

The colours: Pistachio Pudding, Coastal Cabana and Crisp Cantaloupe. 
Using the Markers I coloured in the butterfly, a spritz of water to blend the colours on the edges, then I cut them out. lol...  Add three flags to the reverse. 

Sponged the background with the 3 colours and "Bokeh'd" the background with the white craft ink pad and a single Dauber. Add a few pearls and stick it all together.

The Artful Stampers -Team Challenge Blog Hop- Colour Challenge #3

Hello
Again another challenge, this one is a biggy, as you would see from my previous cards I have made, I'm not a hugely colourful user. So this definitely a challenge for me...

We are having fun sharing ideas and commenting on each others blogs. Please share the love and comment on these lovely ladies work.

And my take on this colourful challenge after I looked through my entire collection of papers, cardstock and inks, devastated I was missing a whole colour...Garden Green. 

Disheartened that I was missing a colour, AND I really wanted to play. Battling on I resorted to my computer and got stuck into using my MDS (My Digital Studio). I made up a scrap book page of my girls out in the hay shed. I had heaps of fun, even though it was a bit slow on my computer. I used an already created template in MDS and changed the colours to suit this challenge. I added a couple more embellishments and found a photo to match. I had lovely fun and I really should use it more. It is so very easy to play with and no mess... 
SO here you go:

Christmas cracker

Here is a christmas cracker I made at a workshop today, without the crack...

Using the Envelope Punch Board and the Scoring Board, it was quite easy to make. I made the cracker as wide as to fit the belt buckle under the belly band. Had fun and so did the ladies that made them. I did change the black belly band to a more narrow fit for the buckle, looked better. You have to start somewhere. Have fun.
I do have the measurements scribbled on a bit of paper, and will try to make up a picture one day soon for you.
