Crafts Galore Encore April Challenge

As it's the first of the month, today I'm sharing my DT card for Crafts Galore Encore.   

For April it's another anything goes challenge.

The sponsor this month is Babycakes DND  and the prize is 2 digi stamps.

 I decided to go with a slimline card this month. I added some Shaded Lilac and Wilted Violet Distress Oxides to my glass mat and spritzed with water. I then smooshed my card panel in it until I got the desired effect. I then used a diamond stencil and applied Paperartsy Snowflake white paint to it. Using it as a stamp I pressed down over the inked area.

I then stamped one of the stamps from the AALL & Create set #453 Heart grunge in Versafine Clair Nocturne and Monarch randomly over the panel.Next I stamped using #304 Heartfelt using the Monarch ink.

 I moved on to stamping the large heart in the Heart Grunge set onto purple tartan paper and cut it out. I then adhered it to the card.

I printed out the gnome and paper pieced his hat and hearts with the purple tartan paper. I then coloured him with copics, adding shading to the paper pieced parts. I then added some highlights with my white gel pen.

I splattered some white paint over the panel using a white paint pen and adhered the gnome to it. I finished by stamping the LOVE sentiment from the Heart Grunge set and added it to the card.

All You Need Is Love 

Let us see your Love themed cards.

(Valentine, Wedding, Anniversary)

I've used this super cute bunny from LOTV for my card this week. I coloured him with my copic markers and cut him out using my Whimsy Zig Zag rectangles.

I mounted it on some red card and cut out the top border using the same red card and my Spellbinder's Border die.

I added some grosgrain ribbon around the top and cut out two red hearts from red felt and added them at the right.

To finish off I cut out the Lawn Fawn XOXO twice and glued them together for some dimension and added it to the bottom left corner.

Simply cute!

Use Your Scraps 

 

Let's use up all of those scraps of paper and card we never throw out!

 

I used some scraps of papers from some of my Nitwit Collections and cut them into squares. I coloured the fabulous hearts from Vera Lane Studio with my Copic markers in shades of pink and grey.

I glued 3 of the squares of paper down and drew round them with my black fineliner. I traced around one to make the 4th box. I then doodled around them. I adhered 3 of the hearts in the squares using 3D foam pads. In the 4th box I glued the pink alpha letters to spell LOVE.

I finished it with some more doodling around the edge of the card and some white gel pen dots on one of the hearts.

Valentine's

 

For my card I've used this fantastic stamp from Stamping Bella called Love Potion Oddball. I  love these oddball characters so much. I had coloured her up for The Daily Marker 30 Day Colouring Challenge on Instagram so she was ready to make into a card. Perfect for a quirky Valentine's card.

I cut an oval from a piece of white card  and doodled round the edge with a black fine liner. I embossed a piece of black card with the heartstrings embossing folder and placed it below the oval. I mounted the oddball on 3D foam pads to the right of the oval and the sentiment from the set to the left. I cut the Love die in red card and added it at the bottom left. Some little hearts to finish it off.

Have a lovely Valentine's Day however you celebrate it. (or don't)
