Crafts Galore Encore November 2019

It's been a busy few weeks for me with demos, visiting relatives, school holidays and travelling to see family. I have managed to find some time to do some crafting and have two blog posts today to prove it. Here is the first one ....


.... There's a new challenge at
Thank you to everyone who joined in with September's challenge. The winners have been announced on the challenge blog. This is a month long challenge and you can enter up to three times. There is a full list of rules on the challenge blog.

We are having a DT call this month! Come and join our lovely team! All the info is on the Crafts Galore Encore Blog.

Our theme every month is the popular
"Anything Goes"
and our sponsor this month is:

Beccy's Place
who is offering a generous $10 AU gift voucher for her store.

I have made a cute New Home card to show today.
I could have made the sentiment "Congratulations! You're Expecting!" but I don't know anyone who is so I chose to make it a New Home card as the bird looks so cosy.

This is a simple design on a 6"x 6" card base with a matted layer created with Salty Ocean DI to which I attached the image topper.

Beccy very generously offered the DT images to work with and I chose this adorable little bird. She is called Lady in Waiting from the Feathered Nest set. I printed the image and sentiment together and coloured the nesting bird with my Copics. I lightly coloured the background with watercolours.

I painted some card with watercolours and die cut some simple flowers and leaves to match the image. I added coloured Artstones to the centres.

Now please visit the  Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog where you can see the fabulous projects and cards created by our talented team using Beccy's Place images. Grab some inspiration while you're there and enter your "Anything Goes" creations in the November challenge.
Don't forget the DT call!
