D2D Caught a bug

Hi Everyone

This weeks free image from Faith is a wonderful image of a jar with a bug inside. You also get a few extra bugs to play with and sentiments.I decided not to colour this image this week but paper piece the challenge. I created the jar by creating a gradient fill of some paper in PSP and then just printed the relevent pieces onto whatever coloured card I needed. Quite effect and very quick to put together. I haven't added a sentiment yet as I am not sure to whom this card will be going to.

Every week you play along you are a winner as you will receive a new image free of charge to play in the following weeks challenge. Can't get better than that. A challenge where everyone is a winner. If you haven't played along before and would like to start now why not go along to Faiths digi shop Designed 2 Delight and purchase this image there and start your collection of fabulous images all the for the low low price of the joy of making a card each week.

I made flowers for the card because as a child I rememebered sitting amongst the daisies and the ladybugs would be there. Ladybugs are about the only insect that I can stand to be near. I am a total girl when it comes to little buggies. Although I have finally got over my fear of spiders!!!! YAY.

Thanks for looking and drop in again soon hugs and happy crafting.

Faceless Fairy

Hi Everyone

This is a new image that I drew but decided not to add a face. Don't ask me why maybe my face drawing ability confidence was lacking that day, I don't know. At first I was unsure about it and the others that I have drawn but the more I look at them the more they grow on me, as you the crafter and the recipient of the finished item can decide what look they may have.

Would be very interested to know what you think. Thanks for looking and comments both positive and hopefully not to negative welcome.

Appliqued tree

Hi Everyone

Had real fun with this one. I received this free from Faith this week for playing along in her challenge last week. If you like the design you can purchase it here. I thought also seeing how the image is called Appliqued tree then it just had to be paper pieced together instead of coloured in. I created the backing papers myself most of which are available at craftsuprint in various colours and kit forms. The ones that are not listed yet will be doing so very soon.

Why not take a look at both website and see what great things are on offer. Plus if you play along this week with Faith and the design team you will receive a brand new stamp to play with and join in the fun all over again this week only this time it will be for free and you can't get better than that!!!

Thanks again for looking at my blogg.

Angel 'Kaela'

Hi Everyone

Well it's last minute again just like me LOL. Every week I print out everything I need to make up Faiths fabulous designs the minute I get them and then life just seems to get in the way as it does. One of these days I will be organised! NO Never happen I'm affraid we can all wish.

Well this image is another of Faiths digi stamps from Designed2delight.com I must admit though I had to add a mouth as no mouth gives me kind of the wiggins. Although it would be nice if we could remove my teenage daughters from time to time.

I also wanted to colour it using a different technique so I printed the design on plain white card twice one for the base layer and one to colour in the face using promarkers, and I also printed it out on to a couple of backing papers that I made up and then paper pieced it all together. On the base layer (1 of the white printed images) I used a quickie glue pen on the wings, halo and stars and coloured in using glitter.

Over all I am really happy with how it tuned out. My final embelishment was making a poinsettia out of the matching paper and adding a sentiment. I also made the card a slightly unusual shape to add another dimention to the overall look.

Thanks for looking people and hope you like what you see.
