Well finally I got myself a brand spanking new team into place, along with 9 lovely original ladies who stayed to lend me their support and their gorgeous creations, and we are back!
Our Challenge at Crafty Cardmakers this time is a nice simple one to ease you all back in ‘Anything Goes’, so that’s any project, any stamp, any creation. So you can let your imagination run wild.
Before I show you mine I would like to introduce you all to the lovely new members of the team. Please visit their blogs and show them some love.
So onto my creation for our relaunch.
I was very fortunate a couple of weeks back to win 3 gorgeous digis from Crafts and Me. This little beauty is called Felicia and I coloured her with a combination of flexmakers and promarkers and her tail is glittered with glamour dust. Her beads are also glittered with MS Glitters. The BP is from my stash, a lovely paisley pattern, and the blue embossed background I made with a paisley pattern embossing folder. Some flowers from my stash, a doily, which I have edged in toning inks to match the colour scheme, and some bling finish it off.
Right about now I am feeling frazzled having had a frantic morning with last minute admin for Crafty Cardmakers, a Mr. Linky that didn’t, a post that wouldn’t and a dog who is for some strange reason is in ClingOn mode, so I could do with relaxing back like Felicia and watching life swim past me!
Anyhow I am entering this into the following challenges before I go off and get myself a very stiff cup of tea….
Card and Scrap - #17 Embossing/Distressing
CES Challenges – #56 Totally Gorjuss/Pretty Girls
Crafts 4 Eternity - #39 Anything Goes

DYSU – #39 Swirls
Sew Many Challenges – Anything Goes
Some Odd Girl – Picture Inspiration I went with the Aquas and Blues and the fact that the wreath reminded me of pearls and therefore oysters, there are some oysters in my image
