Anything Goes at One Stitch At A Time

Anything Goes is the theme this week on the OSAAT challenge blog.

Our rules are pretty straightforward and if you use a digi image purchased in the store then you may enter as many times as you like to win the top prize of a seven digi pack. It's kinda like 'buy one get seven free'

 If you use a non Stitchy image on your project then you will be placed in a draw for $3 to spend in store.

I decided to have some fun with this image of 'Grim Reaper' by Reeces Scrap Pieces. I've coloured him in with red and purple Promarkers and matted the image onto some red card. The background paper is from Coosty Creations and is called 'Red Hat Pumpkin'. A few pearls and a Memory Box swirl to finish.

For The Woman In Your Life

For The Woman In Your Life is the theme on the One Stitch At A Time challenge blog. This is for your Mum, Grandma, Auntie, Cousin or a special girl friend. This week our Sponsor is Stitchy Bear Stamps with a prize of $9 to spend in the store but you must use a Stitchy image. A non-Stitchy project will be placed in a draw for $3 to spend in-store.

For my card this week I chose Rose by Crafty Girl, it's a beautiful image to colour and the tones of lilac remind me of a rose I have called ' Blue Moon'.

I've used Promarkers on the main flower and leaves and mounted the image on a plain mat of lilac pearlised card. the backing paper if from Craftwork Cards. The alphabet is by Spellbinders that I've had for several years and my bow is a die cut from Sue Wilson new range of dies.

Sunday and Time for a New OSAAT Challenge

Sunday again and what a fabulous day it is out here in the backwaters of Essex. I have a gorgeous view of the river from my room and it looks so blue but cold, we need some more sunshine, please.

Our challenge at One Stitch At A Time is 'Use a Digi', and I chose Quirky Cora from Hope Jacare for my teamies , Nataliya and Lady Ann and you can find her here. Isn't she cute? Our rules are very easy:-

Our Sponsor this week is our own Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet and the top prize is the 7 image monthly pack  but we must see a digi from the store on your card and you may enter as many times as you wish.

The runner-up prize is $3 to spend in the store if you use a non Stitchy Bear Outlet Store digi image, you may enter a maximum of three times

When I was colouring this image my mind wandered back to my very early teens when I lived in the Old Kent Road in south London. There were hardly any clubs where girls could join in, it was mainly for boys.  Our local church ran a club where we could go and chat and have a cup of coffee. It was run by a deaconess and we would often see her flying around on her old bike with basket on the front.  She wore the veil but ordinary clothes, she would always have her sandals on, summer and winter but would wear thick grey stockings with them to keep her feet warm. She was such a sweet lady but her dress was definitely 'quirky' This card is dedicated to her and her unstinting kindness to teenage girls.  The sentiment is from a song By the Kinks from 1966. coloured with Promarkers and paper from stash.

Time For The Boys

It's that time of the week when we have a new challenge on the One Stitch At A Time. This week's theme 'For the Boys', so anything remotely not pink!

Our Sponsor this week is our own Stitchy Bear Digi Outlet and the top prize is $9 to spend in store but we must see a digi from the store on your card and you may enter as many times as you wish.

The runner-up prize is $3 to spend in the store if you use a non Stitchy Bear Outlet Store digi image, you may enter a maximum of three times

For my card this week I chose Stitchy's image called 'Got Game' I don't make many boy card as my only grandson os now grown up but I did like this image a great deal. He's been coloured with Promarkers and mounted onto a blue Spellbinders Lacy Square and then onto a couple of sheets from First Edition's Up, Up Away paper pack. A sentiment from Craftwork Cards and some blue twine to finish.

I'd like to enter the following:

Crafts Galore Encore - Use a Digi

Ladybugs!

It's time for a new challenge at OSAAT and our theme this week is 'Anything Goes'. Our rules are very simple:

1. You may enter as many times as you like when using a Stitchy Bear digi stamp to win our top prize this week of seven digi stamps. But, if you choose to enter without using one of the images from the store then you will be entered into a separate draw for $3 to spend in the store. You may enter the challenge a maximum of three times with a non-Stitchy image.

2. You must link back to our blog.

3. No back linking, it must be a new creation after our blog goes live.

My teamie, Nataliya, chose Ladybugs by Coosty Creation, I loved using this paper and image as it screamed at me Use a Poppy Promarker! So I did!

I coloured the image with my Poppy Promaker and also used a dark grey pen for the body and spots. To accentuate the spots I used a drop of Glossy Accents and cut out another flower. This was glazed too with the Glossy Accents. I've used a lovely bright red foil circle as a mat for the image. The sentiment I found on the internet and has been around for years apparently, you learn something new every day. 

This card is sitting on my hall table as a reminder that Spring is not too far away.
