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.

The theme from Team Wendy is

Anything Goes

with the option of 

World Oceans Day

(nautical/sea/ocean themed)

I absolutely adore puffins and so when I seen these super cute stamps from Alpaca Pals by Tracey Hey I just had to buy them (as you do!)

I wanted to go with a Scottish puffin so paper pieced the black parts with black tartan paper. I coloured the rest with my Copic markers.

I cut out my tag from white card and embossed a panel to fit on it. I watercoloured over it with some Light Blue to give a water effect. I mounted the puffins with 3D foam pads on the bottom right corner. I cut a panel of black card to fit my card base and doodled around the edge with my white gel pen and added the tag to it with 3D foam pads. I stamped and heat embossed the sentiment in white on the black card and doodled around it with the white gel pen too. I then added iy to my card on the left. I added some black ribbon and a button to the top of the tag. Some blue sequins to finish it off.

I really do love those puffins! (with a Scottish twist)

I've used this cute Scottie Dog image from Fred She Said. I bought it ages ago and have never used it. I'm not even sure if they're still about.

I coloured him with my copic markers and cut him out with my stitched rectangle dies. I stamped the sentiment and added a strip of tartan card. Next I matted it onto the tartan card with 3d foam pads. Some thistles to finish it off.
