Crafty Catz Challenge Clean And Simple - No DP

Hi again my 2nd post for today and this time i am back with my Friday post from Crafty Catz.

This weeks challenge is hosted by the lovely Janette. Now Janette isnt one for any fuss as she kept her Birthday last week very quiet so what other challenge than CAS - NO DP could she pick.

We have 2 sponsors for you this week so double chance to win something.

They are 

Sasyaki Glitter

and 

Digital Paper Craft

Now I am not one for CAS some people do it so easy but me I never know when to stop.

I have used a image from Sasayaki Glitter called Love You Mum.

Image is coloured with my promarkers and touches of pencil for detail in the hair.

Embossed panel that my image is sat on is cuttlebug birds & swirls. Matted with blue and silver mirri onto a Blue background matted onto Silver Mirri. the diecut flower panel is a Memory Box. Finished off with some matching blue ribbon.

Lucky Green at Polkadoodles

Good morning well it is Team A's turn to share some inspiration for the challenge at Polkadoodles. The theme is Lucky Green and you have another week to get your entry in. So lets see lots of Green on your creations. Lots of Inspiration on the challenge blog for you too.

So lets see what i made

As soon as i saw the word Green I thought of all the Green Trees and elements in the new collection STICKS & BONES and just had to have a play.

 I have made a Stepper card so I could add different layers of elements. 

I have used a pre coloured  image and elements from one of the Topper sheets and also a Digi which I coloured  with my promarkers and placed on the oval as if she had just flown through. 

I think they are all off to a party dont you. 

You can get the whole collection as a download HERE. 

Topper sheet and digi can also be purchased on their own.

I used a My Favorite Things stitched oval for the frame. & Number dies

Clearly Besotted Happy Birthday die.

Well I hope to see you over at the challenge blog there is $10 download for the winner.

Also keep an eye out on Tuesday on Create & Craft  at 1pm for our Nikky.

Thanks for popping by and have a lovely weekend.
