May Workshop Sneek peeks & PaperPlay Challenge.

A little sneak peek of some of the cards and products we will be using in the May workshop.

Paperplay Challenge

The Paperplay challenge this week was set by Mandy and is titled "Touchy Feeley"

The challenge is to create a project using fabric & ribbons. This weeks challenge is all about texture, to create something you can rub your hand over and enjoy the feeling of the different textures. You can use any other craft items too on your project, stamping, buttons,etc... but it must have fabric and ribbons on it somewhere!

A few more workshop Sneak peeks.

A few more sneak peeks from the 5th April workshop just to get you in the mood.

PaperPlay Challenge ; All about backgrounds.

It was my turn to set the PaperPlay challenge this week and I chose to challenge everyone to create their own backgrounds using anything they liked.

I stamped my images with versamark and created a coloured background with chalks, I then layered onto blue cs stamped with majestic blue ink then finished off with a pink organza bow and crystal clear gems.

PaperPlay Challenge... Mothers Day

This weeks challenge was set by Kate and the only rule was to make a Mothers Day card but no flowers allowed.

I cheated this week and altered a card I had made for my last workshop, I had intended it to be a Mothers Day card but didn't add the text at the time to leave the option open.

PaperPlay Challenge

The PaperPlay challenge this week is to use three rectangles and some glitter/bling. The background paper I used is from the Amy Butler K & Company pad and should carry a glitter alert, some of the sheets are really overloaded with glitter.

Thanks for the award Dianne and Mandy will try to pass it on as soon as I get a spare minute.

PaperPlay Challenge,Monochrome.

I set the PaperPlay challenge this week and my theme is.....

MONOCHROME= " images in neutral colors are also known as grayscale or black-and-white" My challenge is to create something using mainly Black and White, you can include other colours but they must be kept to a minimum.

If you would like to take up the PaperPlay challenge you can post your take on the theme over on the PaperPlay blog.

PaperPlay Challenge

The PaperPlay challenge this week was set by Elisa-

(Quote) Use red and/or pink - Use a monogram. "A design composed of one or more letters, typically the initials of a name, used as an identifying mark". So I'll go with "one or more letters".

For this card I embossed, inked with metallic inks, and stapled some chipboard to give it an aged look. and added some sizzix letters to complete the word LOVE.
