#262 Things With Wings

Mary is hosting today's challenge, Things With Wings.

As usual anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or home decor, as long as it meets the theme. Please don't make your 'winged thing' a tiny embellishment in the corner. We would like your Wings to be a prominent part of your creation.

Some inspiration from our fabulous DT

Mary

I used dies from Tattered Lace and Carnations Craft and downloadable vignettes from Carnation Crafts to create this card.

Josephine

I used this Youtube video to make my first every Waterfall card and filled it with Ching Chou Kuik images like this.

Glenda

A card for a child featuring a Whimsy Stamp titled 'Mariposa Rubber Cling Stamp', an embossed background, circle dies, a love stamp and two punched tags.

Angela

I've used one of my Masterboards here as the background with crackle medium through a stencil and a Dark Room Door bird Stamp.The sentiment die is by Tim Holtz.

Judy

I have used some designer paper that I altered for the background of my card. I stamped my moon with a stoneware texture stamp and the sentiment is an old Inkadinkado stamp. The hawk is one of my favourite stamps by Sue Coccia Animal Spirit Stamp that I coloured with a gel pen and copics.

Maike

I used the beautiful "Blossom" stencil by Create A Smile Stamps which I really love. To add some wings I decided to play with the fairy folk and added this image by The Greeting Farm. Have a great week and happy crafting ;o)

Marlene

I have used this beautiful Digital stamp from Conie Fong coloured her with Copics added some Roses

Margaret

A simple butterfly card made with textured paper. I added stamping, Lindy's Stamp Gang Magicals and Wildflower dies by Tim Holtz. The butterfly is a free printable from the net and I added the same stamping on one of its wings. Enjoy the Challenge!!

A Fun Fold card for a stepdaughters Birthday, no colouring or stamping required. Easy and fun to make.

Josephine

I used some Tonic dies and layered the cuts (4 of them) stuck them roughly and then stitched them together. By the time I was on the top layer, I really knew I was stitching through lots of layers!

Mary

I used four pages of a Hunkydory image to create the decoupage and then matted and layered it onto a further three pieces of card.

This card was created using a Masterboard with lots of layered stamped and stenciled images by AALL and Create and Studio Light. I've die cut the triangles using some left-over card which I had made earlier by layering up designs on my Gelli plate and finished it with a sentiment stamp on one of the triangles.

#260 Create Your Own Background

Jackie is hosting today's challenge, Create Your Own Background

As usual anything you care to enter is fine, a card, scrap layout, mixed media piece or home decor, as long as it meets the theme.

This will be our last challenge until August 17th so the team can enjoy some time doing other things!

Some inspiration from our fabulous DT

Jackie

My background was made using a simple stamp and masking technique to create the centre "topper" for the sentiment. Very simple, and quick!

Josephine

I've used a Crafter's Companion rotating background stamp, memento ink, and dies from Sizzix and Elizabeth Craft to make this card.

Judy

To create my background I blended several shades of Distress Oxides on watercolour paper and then sprayed watercolour paper with water. The flowers were stamped with VersaMark and embossed with gold embossing power and then the flowers were coloured Mungyo Water Colors.

Glenda

I used an old technique of combining shaving cream and ink in a bowl and gently pressing cardstock on top of it. When dry I added the leaves , flower and sentiment.

Marlene

For my card I have used Distress Inks and Memento Inks and coloured the Birds with Copics
the stamps were free from a magazine a while back

Mary

I created my background paper by using part of the rose stamp from Carnation Crafts 'Before the Rainbow' collection and colouring it using Derwent Coloursoft pencils. I then matted and layered this onto dark and light orange card. I used the same colours for the mats and layers for the decoupaged rose flower which was cut from a downloaded vignette using a Carnation Crafts die.

Angela

To create this background I made an A4 Masterboard with a mop up sheet of card and Altenew leaf stamp. The main image and the sentiments are also by Altenew and the stitching by Crescendoh.

Tutorial for making is available on my blog.

Jo

For this simplest of backgrounds I blended 3 inks, stamped over & finished
with some gems.

Maike

I love ink-blended background and colours in rainbow order, so I thought I would combine those two for this card. Have a lovely week and happy crafting everyone ;o)

Kimx

I used a Multiple Resist Technique for the background of my card made with Airless Mister Sprays and an Andy Skinner stamp.

Lin

My background was created with distress inks and bleeding art tissue paper, and it's a view inside my brain right now!  Please see my blog for more details

Dr. Monika

 I have made these colourful backgrounds for cards, using Papericious sprays, Tubby Craft pigment inks and Tim Holtz distress inks. I made cute tiny flowers using sizzix and stamps are from Mudra and Tubby Craft.

We look forward to seeing what you can come up with, and see you back here on 17th August
