Crafts Galore Encore May 2023

I am happy to say that the second wedding went very well. Everyone had a fabulous day and we are very proud of the lovely newlywed couple. The girls were all adorable and very well behaved - even the adult ones! Now we have school celebrations, a family visit and the King's Coronation to look forward to.

But before that .....

.... 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:

Last Minute Manda

who are offering a prize of 3 stamp sets for our lucky winner.

The design team were offered the choice of two digi sets and I chose these cute bears. There are six bear images in this set called Little Beach Bears. The digis come in Outline,  Jpeg and Png formats.

I have made a couple of cards using five of the images and stuck to cheerful primary colours for both cards.

This is a 6"x 6" (15cm x 15cm) card. The base layer is plain navy blue Papermania card. I used a textured yellow Papermania card to create the mats and three stripes.

 Here I have used two of the bear images. The one on the left has a sandcastle and lighthouse. Because I used the Png format digis I was able to add the second bear image in the front. I wanted to keep to primary colours for the picture and used my Copics to colour it in.

This card is 8"x 6" (20cm x 15cm). I used a plain red Papermania card as the base and the navy blue card for the mats and stripes. I created the sentiments for both cards on the computer.

This time I used three of the cute bears in the Png format so I could layer them up to form one picture. Again, I coloured the bears in with my Copics. I finished this card with a starfish embellishment and finished both cards with some blue gems.

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