Papertake Weekly - Hannah Lynn Digi - Deevonne

It's Tuesday afternoon and this time it's the

Papertake Weekly Challenge.This week we have an excellent sketch for you to follow and to entice you to partake we are sponsored by Simon Says Stamp

This is a one of my new digi stamps purchased recently.

This beautiful image is called Deevonne drawn by Hannah Lynn and sold by Crafts and Me.

This image is excellent to colour if you want to practise putting highlights in hair.

The paper is by Kaisercraft called Oasis and it's part of the Utopia collection. I stitched around the edge to add interest and texture.

To finish off I added a few gems, string and stickles glue and my freebie sentiment that I got in a magazine last year.

Thanks for stopping by.

EAC No. 143 - A Special Day for a Mum to be

Happy Tuesday crafting buddies,

I hope you are all ready to join in with the excellent sketch we have for you today over at

Everybody Art Challenge.

Over the past week I have been working on a special gift book card for a member of my team at work who will be going on maternity leave at the end of this week.
Here is the front of the card using the sketch.

Here is a side view of the layers and what is supposed to be pages of a book

Partially open

Finally, the gift inside where two sleep suits can be found. The mother to be doesn't know whether its a boy or girl hence the rainbow of colours.

There is so much going on, on the front of the card I've kept the inside embellishment free to give plenty of space for a personal sentiment.

Materials used:

Base - Lemon Bazzill card

Papers - Freebie from Papercraft Essentials Magazine - Sweet Wishes paper

I have distressed inked and sewn around the edge of the papers and used faux stitching around the circle

Punch and Dies- Martha Stewart daisy punch and leaf punch, Nellie Snellen multi frame

Image - Teddy Bea no.84 (new digital stamp)

Medium - Copics and Prisma Pencils

(my desk is so messy I can't find the paper where I recorded the pen colours)

Sentiment - Lili of the Valley & computer generated for Mum to be

Embellishments - Lace, ribbon, Prima flowers, roses, hat pins, beads, swirl gems

Finishing touches - Platinum Stickles glue, Tim Holtz antique linen and walnut distress ink.

I am going to enter this card into the following challenges:

Fuzzy Wuzzy - Babies + animal

Emerald Faeries - Anything goes

(new monthly challenge blog with cute digital images to be had)

Thanks for stopping by and have a good week.

EAC - Baby Boy Gift Card

Today's project is a present within a card. I have made it for this weeks challenge over at Everybody Art Challenge which has the theme "Baby". Be sure to check out the other DT members for more inspiration.

To make my card I have used the tutorial created by my fellow DT member - Tina - Click Here. Thanks sweetie your instructions were perfect.

I have used the excellent sketch created by Rach over at Friday Sketchers.

The inside of the card contains a pair of socks/booties and there is plenty of room to add a few other items.

I have used a cute digital image from KLM Digital Stamps called New Baby's Foot.

The papers are a mixture of digital papers from Graphics-U-$ell

and Nitwit Collections.

The circle is a Nellie Snellen multi frame and to this I have used a Cuttlebug embossing folder - Swiss Dots, I have also used a Martha Stewart punch. The embellishments are ribbon from my ever growing hoard, pearls, gems, a button and Prima flowers. I have also added stickles around the edge of the papers but it's difficult to see in my picture.

The sentiment on the inside is a LOTV stamp.

I am also entering this card into the following challenges:

Stamp something - digi week

Auds Sentiments Challenge

Digital Tuesday Challenge - Welcome little One

Thanks for looking and I hope you like the card.
