I am soooooo late with this post. The Challenge started on the 15th of February......
The theme of this challenge is
'TIP OF THE HAT'
Nice and easy theme.....Just means that what ever you make, must include a hat somewhere. This can be the actual make, on the image, as an embellishment or how ever else you can include a hat in your entry!!
 
 
I loved this theme so much, I made two entries..... Here are the images I used:
 
'Lucy Loo' Mustache
 
 
'Lucy Loo' Strawberry Shortcake Lolita
 
 
How brilliant are both these images, and both so different!!!!
 
So, to the bit you are all here for, what I made with them:
 
Mustache -
 



 I cut the hat and frame wit my Silhouette Cameo.
The image is coloured with Faber-Castell colouring pencils.
 
I wanted to make my actual project a hat, but I am not sure it has turned out how I imagined it...... I like it though, as its something different!
 
 
Strawberry Shortcake Lolita -
 



 
 The card base, sentiment and layers were cut on my Silhouette Cameo.
The image was coloured using Faber-Castell Colouring Pencils.
The faux stitching was added by using a white Rangers pen.
 

I would like to enter the above makes into the following challenges -

Inspiration Destination - #21 Always Anything Goes
Die Cutting Divas - #203 Odd Card

Lelli-Bot Crafts - New Kit Samples

Hello fellow Crafters, Friends, Bloggers and anyone else that has popped in for a little visit.
 
As you know, I am part of the Lelli-Bot Crafts Design Team.
 
Today that had their first 2015 show on Create and Craft. The Design Team were given 3 new kits to work with:
 
Gothic Lace
 
Painted Posies

 
Suited Seduction

 
As you can see, they are all very different and all have their place for lots of different styles of crafting.
 
Since before Christmas, I have been making samples from these three kits. I have enjoyed making them, however they do take a long time to make as I like to do my best to show off the products and make them special for the Shows.
 
I had very few of my samples shown in todays show, so rather than have them unseen, I thought I would blog them so people could see them.
 
Here are my makes with the above kits......
 
Gothic Lace
 


 
 

 
 
 
 

 
 
 
Painted Posies
 
 

 
 
 
 
 
 
 



 


 
 
 
Suited Seduction
 

 
 
 

 
 
 


 
 
I hope you like the samples I have made, I am very proud of them.
 
Those who watched the Lelli-Bot Crafts show today, and that you all like the kits and enjoy using them.
 
 
Many thanks for visiting and leaving such wonderful comments, all comments and visits are returned.
