Best in Show

Hi Crafty Friends!  It's the 1st Wednesday of the Month and that signals a new monthly challenge at The Paper Funday Challenge Blog.  The theme is Always Anything Goes with an Optional Twist.  The Twist this month is:  Use Green and Gold.  Our generous sponsors are Newton's Nook Designs and Eureka! Stamps.

For my design team project, I've used the Terrific Terriers Stamp and Coordinating Die Set from Newton's Nook to create an A2 sized card.  This set is Retiring so I suggest hopping over to Newton's Nook ASAP and pick it up before it's gone forever. 

These adorable Yorkies have been colored with Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and the designer papers are from the DCWV "Playful Pets" 6x6 mat stack.  The Pups and Blue Ribbon have been popped up with craft foam for dimension.  

No extra Bells and Whistles have been added as there is a lot going on with the patterns.  I do have the Twist elements in my design:  the green oval die cut with gold foiling.  

Please join us this month at The Paper Funday Challenges.  We would love to see your designs and we hope to inspire you with ours. 

Until next time, Happy Crafting!

Pammie's Inky Pinkies Challenge - Newton's Nook

Hello and Happy Monday!  For those in the States, I hope your 4th of July Holiday was filled with food, family and fun!  Today begins a new challenge at Pammie's Inky Pinkies with an Anything Goes theme.  We have the fun Newton's Nook as our sponsor and I created my design team project using the Terrific Terriers Stamp and Coordinating Die set.  This is a retiring set so if you like it, head over to Newton's Nook and grab it before they are gone forever.

I colored this sweet pup with my Spectrum Noir Alcohol Markers and die cut with the coordinating die.   I also die cut ovals and a stitched, scalloped border die from My Favorite Things.  The patterned paper is part of a digital set from Scrapbook Gems on Etsy.

I popped the oval on foam pads for dimension and using Dina Wakely Gloss Acrylic Spray,  I added splatters for additional interest.

Please join us this week at Pammie's Inky Pinkies for your chance to win a Gift Certificate to Newton's Nook!

Until next time, Happy Crafting!
