Challenge #23

A Fabulous Sketchie

The fantastic thing about sketchies is you can apply them to anything pages, book covers, altered items and cards, we have put together a few samples for you to kick start your mojo

Julie has made this gorgeous sample using Cherry Cupcake Papers, Mia & Cupcake Stamp coloured with ProMarkers, and the fabulous Candi

This is an easel card with the Wild Rose Studio Classy Lady Stamp, Coloured with ProMarkers layer up and onto a Craftwork Cards On The Edge Card (Scallop), with Card Candi to embellish and Adhesive Gems to finish

I have also decorate a small ATC tin still using the sketch. I have stamped on a background using black Memento Ink, also Card Candi for the dots and More adhesive Gems. The butterfly is one of our large Butterfly with Clips but I have detached the Wings from the body so I could give it a nice big gem instead :)

So I hope that helps, we can't wait to see your projects whatever they may be have fun :)

The Prize a £25 Bee Crafty Goody Bag PLUS a 10% OFF Voucher

Good Luck

Good Evening Everyone,

Thank you for waiting so patiently for this weeks Tueday Challenge from Bee Crafty.

Well there is no getting away from it now, Christmas is on the way and whilst none of our challenges will have a set theme (e.g. Christmas as not everyone celebrates) this weeks sample from Julie is Christmassy and it's elegant simplicity makes it one of my favourites of her Christmas samples. We have a lovely added element to this card the Accent Pins, which whilst intended for floral craft are a very pretty addition.

Challenge #4 ~ Add Element on your Project

which wasn't intended for PaperCraft

and to give you somewhere to start here is Julie's Take

On this Card we have used Green Blank Card as the base, Red Pearl Accent Pins, Mulberry Poinsettias, plus some ribbon, a crystal brad and one of the fantastic Christmas Die Cut messages from Craftwork Cards that are available in store I just haven't managed to get them on the website yet.

So have a play and submit your entry,

This weeks prize is

Pack of each size of Mulberry Poinsettias
PLUS Mulberry Holly Leaves and a pack of Vintage Berries Card Candy

Good Luck

Challenge #3

2010-10-19T17:09:00.000+01:00

This Week on the Bee Crafty Tuesday Challenge we are using a sketch.

Challenge #3 Use the Following Sketch

A sketch is a great starting off point for projects as it helps spark ideas from the off.

This sketch was put together by Julie, the Queen Bee at Bee Crafty. She is one of the best cardmakers I know, well lets just put it this way I provide her with A4 sheets of ProMarkered stamped images to turn into beautiful cards as I know she can create something beautiful.

So to give an idea of what this sketch looks like turned into a card, Julie has also created this

This card is one of my favourites of Julies, using the fabby Wild Rose Studio Stamps, Card Candy & Bee Crafty Blooms.

I am talking to you remotely from SUNNY SKEGGY

Okay so introducing this weeks Tuesday Challenge from Bee Crafty.

Although our challenge is aimed at card makers everone whatever their craft is welcome to take part

Challenge Number 2.

MY FAVOURITE STAMP

we all have that favourite stamp, the one you couldn't live with out because you either just really connect with the image or you can just use it for so many different occasions

And this weeks prize has to reflect that and is a stamp from one of my NEW favourite Collections from one of Bee Crafty's Favourite Manufacturers

Wild Rose Studio

So have a go and win yourself one of the fabulous new Fergus range

Have fun and leave you link to your card with Mr Linky & Leave a comment for the chance of winning one of these fantastic stamps.

The WiFi here at Skegness will not let me access Mr Linky so I will get Julie to add one ASAP and let you know the winner as soon as we can.

Meanwhile get making and you can always upload your linky later.
