Fab'n'Funky Challenges #129 - We're All Going On A Summer Holiday

Hello crafty friends,

We were all starry eyed over your wonderful creations last week.  The winner and Top 3 can be found on the Fab'n'Funky Challenges blog.  Be sure to pick up your badges!

It's that time of the week again and we have a great new challenge for you.  The talented Anne-Marie is your host and she has chosen a brilliant theme...

Summer Holiday

We are sponsored by Digi Doodle Shop this week. 


They have loads of great designs so check out their website here

I chose an ice cream theme for my card and wanted to make something with blue and red. 


I made a 6" square card blank from heavy white card and then rounded the corners with a large corner punch from X-Cut.  The light blue paper was actually printed from My Craft Studio by picking the colour of her skirt from the scanned image.  This is a really simple way to get a perfect colour match. 

The red and dark blue card is from Create and Craft and I used a small corner punch for those layers, also from X-Cut.  I took the red card and embossed it with my dotty embossing folder through my Cuttlebug.  I sanded back the top layer to make the spots white and then coloured with my Cyan Promarker.  I added glitter to the edge of this layer with my Quickie Glue Pen.

I used an EK Success punch for the border and Spellbinders Labels Four for the matting and layering shapes.  My image is from Tiddly Inks and called Wryn's Sweet Treat.  I coloured her with Promakers in the following colours:

Lipstick Red
Ruby
Cyan
True Blue
Indigo Blue
Walnut
Cinnamon
Caramel
Dusky Pink
Putty
Almond


I cut the pearly swirl from one of the Creative Expressions self-adhesive swirls.  These come in black and pearl and are really lovely.  The sentiment was from my stash.

I'd like to enter this card into the following challenges:

1.  The Cutie Pie Challlenge # 22 - Glitter and Bling
2.  That Crafty Place Challenge Blog - Anything Goes
3.  Card Mad Fairy's Digi Days Challenge #37 - Summertime
4.  Crafty Catz Weekly Challenge #140 - Seeing Spots
5.  Incy Wincy Designs - Summertime
6.  Simon Says Stamp and Show - Layered
7.  Creative Card Crew Challenge #14 - Swirls and Pearls

Hope you are enjoying some good weather.  I'm hoping the forecast is right and we get some sun on Friday.

Happy crafting,
Rachel x

mmmmmmmmmm I agree with Pat, blueberry and strawberry. I bet it will take more than a scoop of Vanish to get those ice cream stains out from a t-shirt lol
