Time for Hobbies & Interests at CRAFTY CATZ

Good morning well Friday again that can only mean another New CRAFTY CATZ challenge.

This week the lovely Tracey is our host. She would like you to share with us a card or creation showing HOBBIES & INTERESTS

Our Sponsor for this challenge is KENNYK

Pop along to the challenge blog and read all about this fab sponsor and the prize on offer.
So onto my card for your inspiration

I have used Retro selfie for my card and have coloured it with my promarkers.

I decided I was going to make the image to look like the old Polaroid pictures and write a note on the bottom. I have used a old pad for my DP and have used some Black ribbon and candy dots to make a pin board effect to add the picture on. 

Embellishments are paper clips and a spring clip

I hope you like and get my idea.

Now it is over to you. 

Go checkout the rest of the teams makes for extra ideas.

Thanks for popping by and leave me a comment if you have time.

Have a good weekend.

Decoupage with Julia Spiri at CRAFTY CATZ

Happy 1st April to you all and no this isnt a April Fools joke. However it is details of this weeks new challenge at CRAFTY CATZ.

This week we are doing a Technique challenge

DECOUPAGE

Which means layers in my book. Although there are 2 different styles both have been used by the team for your inspiration.This was my very first venture into Card making way back before I found rubber & digital stamping.

We are sponsored this week by Julia Spiri

Prize is 2 images  from their store HERE

So now let me share with you my card using a image from our sponsor.

 and a side view showing the layers

The image i have used is called The Cake Hat and you can purchase it on its own Here or as part of a set of 4 from Here

I have printed the image 3 times and coloured with my promarkers. then cut out different layer of each to give a 3d effect. I have used Glue gel to give height although you could use foam pads.

I have used a birthday embossing folder and some DP from my Scrap box.

Embellished with Lace, Ribbon & Pearls.

The Birthday sentiment is a Whimsy Rubber Stamp

Well that is my card and hope you like.
