Stiggys Crafts

This is an A4 sheet designed so my mum can frame it (If she likes it?) For mums 60th I did a card with the a quote about 'When she grows old she can wear purple' She asked me to do one that she can frame with the poem by Jenny Joseph. I used one of the Murray and Ethel Stamps coloured with glitter satura and Tria pens The dotty paper is some Christmas paper from a lilac and purple pack The circles were made in word as was the text, printed onto penalized card and then cut out. I have put faux stitching on the circles and around the poem. The blue ribbon at the bottom has stitching on it and the ribbon at the top has swirls. I got all the ideas from the Challenge sites below Secret Crafter - Challenge to use stitching As usual any project as long as there is stitching on your card faux or real - it's up to you! Sketch Saturday - Sketch 44 Was a sketch with lots of circles I have added a bit but hope it still counts Colour Create - Challenge 9 The colour combination is Lilac...

Friday Sketchers Challenge is to follow the sketch above The challenge on the Secret Crafter : FAVOURITE COLOUR As usual any creation but must be based on your favourite colour scheme. Found the sketch quite a challenge but I got there in the end I think! The papers are from the co-ordinating papers from Daisy and Dandelion The stamp is Daisy from the Daisy and Dandelion Collection Coloured with Tria Markers The text was done in word as a text box The flower stickers have been in my stash for ages My favourite colours are pinks and purple Thanks for looking

Challenge 52 - RECIPE Take something ripped; 2 papers and 4 embellishments BUT there's a twist - four embellishments means ONLY four. A two-layered flower with a charm/spacer and a brad for example would count as ALL of your embellishments so choose them wisely! For this I used so paper that came in a pack from QVC I ripped the piece on the left hand side and fixed it on top of the other piece The stamped image is 'Squeak' from the Daisy and Dandelion collection. Coloured with Tria markers The text was done in word The heart has been in my stash for ages and its finished with 3 gems Hope you like it.

Sunday Challenge - Sketch Good morning boys and girls, Karen here (are there any boys out there? Let yourself be known). The Sunday challenge today is set by me, and I have created a sketch for you to follow. I am going to offer a little prize to one lucky participant this week, I will pick the winner randomly next Sunday. The scalloped edge merely depict some sort of fancy edge. It doesn't have to be scallops but you MUST provide a fancy edge of some description, this is not an element that can be changed. You must of course include one of our downloads too. For my card I used my craft robo to cut the aperture out of the blue card stock, then again the craft robo was used to cut the frame and the circles and heart. I then stuck a piece of acetate over the aperture and put the frame over to hide the glue I used the Front and Back image of Dottie that has been pre-coloured I cannot remember where the papers came from and the text was done in word The top edge being scalloped was b...
