Anything Goes With A Digi

Over at One Stitch At A Time, we’re just launching this week’s challenge.  The theme this week is Anything Goes With A Digi, so it couldn’t be simpler for you to play along!

My card this week features A New Place by Hope Jacare.  I like the whimsical style of the image, and really enjoyed colouring the different areas of the earth and sea in varying shades of blue and green.  I used Pro-Markers as usual – was pleased I stocked up on fine nibs attachments earlier in the month, they came in very handy!  Once coloured, I mounted the image on a blue cardstock, layered over another piece of the same card, embossed with Swiss Dots, and a slim strip of white card that I dragged my Tumbled Glass Distress Ink pad over.

On the card base, I scored some additional lines at the top and bottom to create a little more detail on a relatively simple card.  Lastly, I added some gems in two shades of blue for little sparkle!

Make sure you head over to the One Stitch At A Time blog and have a peek at the other DT creations!

Anything Goes at One Stitch At A Time!

Here’s my card for the new challenge over at One Stitch At A Time:

I used the Steampunk Sailship collection, which includes the image of the ship, plus three complimentary papers.  I cut the four cog shapes on the Silhouette, three from a lovely bronze cardstock, and the final one from plain white cardstock, using the print and cut option.  I coloured the image with Pro-Markers and then blended some Starlite Silver Brilliance ink over the top, to create a foggy, smoggy look to the cog as it looked far too crisp and clean for steampunk!!  The bronze cogs were also dirtied, using Black Soot distress ink.

The paper is one of the three included with the image.  I popped the card together, using 3D pads to give a bit of depth.

It’s a nice, easy theme over at One Stitch At A Time and you could win all the images used by the DT for challenge 196 as we are sponsored by the Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet!  Make sure you pop over and have a look at the other DT projects too.

One Stitch At A Time Gift Card Holder

Here is my first DT project of 2014 for One Stitch At A Time.  Our theme for this challenge is “Use A Digi” and we are sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps Outlet, who are offering the lucky winner all the digis used by the DT for challenge 194.

For this challenge I was given the Musical Notes Stamp Set by Sentimental Susan – the set has two styles of musical notes, I have used the smaller of the two for my project.  I chose the smaller image as I needed an i-Tunes gift card holder for a friend’s birthday (although I haven’t bought it yet, so have just popped a Debenhams gift card in to illustrate!).  For speed, I downloaded a gift card holder cut file from the Silhouette store, added the image on to the outside of the holder and the smaller presentation card inside, then print and cut the whole thing.  I added a little Glossy Accents to the notes on the outside of the holder, but left those inside unglossed.  Finally, I looped some grosgrain ribbon through the hole I added to the cut file.

Make sure you pop over and have a look at the other projects created for you by the DT this week!!

I’ll be back later with my first DT project for Sentimental Sundays…
