Country View Crafts Challenges - Four Legged Friends

We are almost half way through the year!  I hope you are enjoying this months challenge.  Here is my second project:

I created a Master board using Distress inks and Aall and Create stamps.

The die cut and very cute cat stamp are also from Aall and Create.  

I remembered I had some word charms in my stash and thought this 'friend' one was perfect.

Country View Crafts Challenges - Four Legged Friends

Happy June.  For those of you that know me I love cats.  So this months challenge was a no brainer for me.  Here is my first project.

I pushed myself out of my comfort zone and used bright colours with an emboss resist background.

I used this amazing Katzelcraft cat stamp and some Ideology.  I loved creating this tag and was very happy with the end result.

Thanks for joining me.

Country View Crafts Challenges - Vintage

Happy June.  We are almost half way through the year.  It has been flying by.  The challenge for June is 'vintage'.  I love this theme.  It enabled me to get all of my favourite products out and start to play.  Here is my first entry for the challenge:

I started by creating a Gelli plate background.  While I had the plate out I created a bunch of backgrounds to use for other projects.

To create my finished card I used the following products:

Aall and Create Stencil 127 - Roses in Bloom

Aall and Create Tracy Evans 396 - Sewing forever

Tim Holtz Ideology

I loved my background for this card.

Country View Crafts Challenges - Things With WIngs

I hope you all had a lovely Easter and are enjoying this month's challenge.  Here is my second project for the Things With Wings challenge:

I wanted to use the amazing second release of blending inks from Lisa Horton Crafts for this project - I got carried away creating backgrounds and even ended up making 2 cards. The second release of inks are so beautiful and have a vintage feel.

Here is a list of the products that I used to create my two projects:

Lisa Horton Crafts Premium Dye Based Matt Blending Ink

Tim Holtz Halftone Stencil

Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Botanical Collage Stamp Set

Stampers Anonymous Tim Holtz Noteworthy Stamp Set

Tim Holtz Ideology

I was having so much fun creating this card that I created another with a slight change:

This time I used torn note paper down the side of the card.  Like in the first card, I layered up the butterfly to add dimension.

I loved using the new Lisa Horton inks - perfect for my project!

Do pop over to the blog to see the inspiration from the rest of the design team.  There is a lot of inspiration for you.  There is also still time to join in with the challenge for this month.
