Chi Chi Memories Monthly Challenge - Funky Girl

Pop along to Chi Chi Memories blog to take part in this months challenge using Funky Girl http://ccmchallenge.blogspot.hk/2014/06/june-challenge-freebie.html?m=1 

There are 30 free downloads of Funky Girl available to hurry over and grab yours now! The challenge ends on 13th July.

I used the digi to make this cute card 

I coloured her with Spectrum Noirs and used papers from Sarah Hurley. Unusually for me I chose the background papers first then coloured the digi and so used colours I wouldn't normally choose. 

Head over to http://ccmchallenge.blogspot.hk/2014/06/june-challenge-freebie.html?m=1 to see what the other DT members have made 

Chi Chi Memories - Good Day

This week I have used another new release from Chi Chi Memories, this time it's 'Good Day'

 

She can be brought by going to the Chi Chi Memories Designs website 

I cut two shaped squares out of coloured card using my Cricut Mini, and before sticking them together I added some Washi Tape I brought from Michael's while on holiday then trimmed off the ends before sticking the two pieces of card together and then onto a smaller card blank. For the image I used Good Day and coloured her with Spectrum Noir pens and then added some glitter pen to her hair baubles and some glossy accents to the balloons. Once dry I cut her out with my EK Success circle cutter then stuck double-sided tape round the outside of the circle and pleated tissue paper round the outside to give a tactile fun frame to the image. I finished the card off with some little flowers I had left over from the 60th birthday card I made in April. 

This is a nice fun bright card and the digi is so versatile as you can colour the balloons in colours to suit your project!

Chi Chi Memories - Princess Snowy

This is my first post as a Guest DT for Chi Chi Memories and it's ever so fitting that the first digi I received (while I was on holiday in Florida) was Princess Snowy! I love Snow White and fell in love with this digi.

 

She can be brought by going to the Chi Chi Memories Designs website 

I took a A5 card and covered the front in some scrapbooking paper from The Haute Pink Stack by DCWV. I printed Snowy onto some card and coloured her using Spectrum Noirs (Hair IG1, 4, 6, 8 and 10; Dress TB2, TB3, CT3, CT4, CR11; Skin FS2 & FS3) and then cut her out with my EK Success Circle Cutter as well as cutting out some mirri card a bit bigger to layer onto. I used distress ink in peacock feathers around Snowy to give it a bit more colour. I printed my own sentiment out and used pickled raspberry distress ink. To finish I added some little wooden butterflies I had in my craft stash and (although it's hard to see) I did little glitter butterfly trails behind each butterfly with a sakura glitter pen.

I hope you like it! I think I'm going to use Snowy again in my scrapbook for my holiday (once I get all my photos delivered).

Robot Girl - Chi Chi Memories

For this card I used Robot Girl from Chi Chi Memories. She can be brought on her own or as part of Costume Set 2.

I took a A5 card and went over it with my Spectrum Noir blender pen then used pens in the PP, PL, BP and LV groups from Spectrum Noir to make the background. I then cut and embossed some silver card and added the Robot Girl image which I coloured in Spectrum Noirs. To finish I used the Robot Girl sentiment and cut round it with zig-zag scissors and to make it stand out and matted it onto some black card and cut that out too with the zig-zag scissors.

I love this image as it is so sweet and as the sentiment says 'cuteness overload!'

Milkshake Anyone? - Through The Purple Haze Bingo Challenge

This week the challenge theme at Through The Purple Haze is 'Bingo'. The sponsor for this challenge is The Stamping Chef

 http://thestampingchef.com

They have some lovely images and the image I got given to make a card with was 'Milkshake Anyone'

As soon as I got given this I knew exactly what papers I was going to use and started on a hunt in my craft drawers for a free recipe book kit I got with a magazine a few months ago.  I use the papers with Kraft Card to mat and layer, then made a little recipe card for Oreo Milkshake (my husbands favourite). It went to so well with this image.

For the 'bingo' side of the challenge I used flowers (bottom right hand corner), sentiment/greeting (Happiness is Homemade) and of course the doily behind the digi stamp which went so well with this project.

Why not head over to Through The Purple Haze and check out what the other DT members have made and enter the 'bingo' challenge.
