Crafts Galore Encore: Rabbit with Sunflower

 

 Hello

Today sees that start of a new challenge at Crafts Galore Encore. 

The theme is always 'Anything Goes' and you can enter up to 3 different projects.  The challenge runs all month until mid day (GMT) 27th February.

This month's challenge is kindly sponsored by Polkadoodles.

Here is what I made:


The DT were given images to make sample projects from. I used Rabbit with Sunflower which is a pre-coloured image. I decided to add a little extra colour to it with Polychromo pencils. I fussy cut it and adhered it to a stencil stamped inky background., using oxide inks I die cut the sentiment and used the same green textured card as a mat.

That's all for now.

Many thanks to NIkky at Polkadoodles for her generous prize of 3 digis for our random winner.


Please pop over to Crafts Galore Encore to see the DT's wonderful designs and to enter our challenge. 


We'd love to see your creations.
Remember the challenge is always 'Anything Goes' and so you can create any type of project - it doesn't have to be a card and you can enter up to 3 times.

Thanks for stopping by today!
xoxo

Here is what I made as inspiration for the Customer Challenge..

It's a rolodex mini book with a cowgirl theme:

I sandwiched together two die cut, brown gingham patterned rolodex cards with ivory lace in between. In all there are 5 double pages.
I used lots of different Gecko Galz collage sets, all listed at the end of this post, and I raided my stash of laces, trims and embellishments for suitable items.

Here are the pages in close up:











Products used:
Glam on the Range collage set
Ride Em Cowgirl Digital Craft Kit
