Crafts Galore Encore August 2022

Finally it's August! I've been looking forward to this month for ages. The highlight of this year will be seeing my wonderful American friend who is coming to the UK for a visit. We didn't think this unexpected event would ever happen and I'm beyond excited for a wonderful few days of face to face chatting and fun.

Meanwhile .....

.... there is a new challenge starting today at

Crafts Galore Encore Challenge Blog. 

Thank you to everyone who joined in with last month'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.

Our theme every month is the popular

"Anything Goes"

and our sponsor this month is:

Fred She Said

who are offering a $10 store voucher for our lucky winner.

I have made an 8"x 8" (20 x 20 cm) birthday card using some pretty papers and an image from our sponsor.

The papers I've used are from the Scrap Boys Dream Garden paper pad. I matted all the papers onto white card coloured with a matching Copic pen. I wrapped a seam binding ribbon coloured with Picked Raspberry DI around the layers before fixing the image.

I chose the lovely Peony in a Jar image and coloured it with my Copics. I also printed the flower head by itself.

I printed the Happy Birthday sentiment on the computer. I coloured the peony and rotated it as an embellishment.

I finished the card with a double bow from the coloured seam binding ribbon.

Now please visit the  Crafts Galore Encore challenge blog where you can see the wonderful projects and cards created by our talented team using Fred She Said images.

Grab some inspiration while you're there and enter your "Anything Goes" creations in this month's challenge.

Enjoy August everyone! I know I shall.
