Fab'n'Funky Challenges #149 - Midway Reminder

Hi Everyone,

Apologies for the late post - my brain is obviously thinking so much about Christmas that I thought I had already posted this today!  I have managed to get my Christmas tree up though.  I didn't have any decorations up last year at all as I was in the middle of getting a new kitchen fitted so I'm getting the most of them this year.

We are still celebrating our 3rd Birthday at Fab'n'Funky Challenges and this is your midway reminder to get those entries in.  Have you seen our prizes?  Wowee!

And now onto my inspiration for this midway reminder

I started with a 6" scalloped card blank.  My papers are from the Life's A Beach digikit in Serif''s Craft Artist Professional 2.  My image is from Digi Darla Designs and is called Ashley with Rose.  Isn't she sweet?  I used ProMarkers to colour my image in True Blue, Sky Blue, Indigo Blue, Mustard, Canary, Lemon, Soft Lime, Walnut, Cinnamon, Caramel, Dusky Pink and Blush.  I cut the image with Spellbinders Labels Twenty.  My gems are from Create and Craft and came free with a storage carousel.

Really hope you can join us for the final few days of our birthday celebrations.

Happy crafting,

What a veritable feast of birthday treats!  And here is my card.  I used a Flonzcraft stamp called Vintage Fashion Girls - Fifties 03. 

I have two 3's on my card - my lovely ladies and three layers.  My papers are from Prima and I wasn't sure when I first got them but the colours really work well together and they aren't too over the top.  I stamped my image onto Super Smooth Decoupage paper and then stamped again onto each of the different patterned papers.  I cut them out with scissors and paper pieced the dresses and glove.  My image was cut out with Spellbinders Eyelet Squares which I inked with Tim Holtz Distres Ink in Worn Lipstick, placing at a jaunty angle with foam pads for interest.  I used the smallest Eyelet Squares die for my sentiment which is from that set that I've had forever.  What a brilliant buy that one turned out to be!  I also used the DI to ink my sentiment.  My card blank is from Hobbycraft.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Crafts and Me #111 - Circles

Joanna Sheen - Anything Goes Excluding Christmas

A Gem of a Challenge #60 - Paper Piecing

I really hope you can join us for our birthday celebrations.  With those wonderful prizes on offer, you'd be mad to miss it!

Happy crafting,

Fab'n'Funky Challenges #148 - 3rd Birthday Reminder

Hi,

I can't believe we are here already!  It seems no time since Fab'n'Funky's Birthday Extravaganza started on Wednesday.  I hope you have been busy making a birthday card so you can enter.  Don't forget to include three of something too.

We have the lovely Beccy hosting our mid-way reminder and our three sponsors are...

Just click on their photo to be taken to their wonderful images.  You'll be spoilt for choice.  Keep your eyes peeled next week when we'll have a knockout prize from Cult Pens.  You really won't want to miss this and if you just can't wait until then, they have given us a 10% discount code.  Just entre FNF2012 at checkout. 

So I had better show you what I've made...

My three this time are three different papers.  I started by embossing a piece of purple Coredinations with an A4 Spellbinders M-Bossability folder.  I sanded back and used the Apple Cider ProMarker to colour the dots.  My image is Dottie Birthday from Bugaboo and I've coloured her using ProMarkers in Apple Cider, Plum Preserve, Henna, Cocoa, Caramel, Blush, Dusky Pink and Rose Pink.  I'm not sure how I've managed it but my colours seem to have blended into one, especially on her skin.  I always scared that she'll end up looking tangoed but maybe I'm too cautious! 

I used Spellbinders Grand Labels Four to cut out my image and then traced around her with Blue Grey 1 Flexmarker.  I used Stickles to add the sparkle to her earrings and anklet.  My ribbon is from The Ribbon Kings and the flowers are from 3Birds.

Have fun making your entry.  Can't wait to see them all.

Happy crafting,
