Oh La La! Juliet Gets Distressed in France

I've sent Juliet to France for the latest challenge on Dottie's World. Set by Lou she says:

"The 14th of July marks the French public holiday of Bastille Day so to join the French in their celebrations I would like us to make something with a French feel. It could be the image, it could be a French sentiment or it could just make you say Oh La La! It might even be just in the colours of the French flag (red, white and blue), it's up to you! Just have fun! Oh and don't forget to use one of the Charmed downloads!"

I had a Juliet image (from the Girls About Town download bundle from Charmed) already printed, so decided to colour her in using my brush markers and blender pen. I stuck to the colours red and blue. I also coloured a sentiment I had printed ages ago in blue. Rummaging through my PPs I found a French sheet, but the image was too bright and looked wrong with it. So, out comes my walnut ink distressing dauber and I covered both the image and sentiment plus I tinted a blue bloom with it. A piece of ribbon, a red bloom and an antique coloured brad and my card was done.

July ATC Challenge on Scrap Around The Clock

We have another 2 challenges for you on Scrap Around The Clock for July. It was my turn to make an ATC, so here it is:

I've layered 2 of the Pixie Chicks downloads available exclusively from Charmed and printed them onto photo paper.

Hop over to Scrap Around The Clock to find out what the challenges are and then show us what your interpretations are.

Make It Holey

Juliet's turn to do the challenge this week on Dottie's World and she's asked us to 'Make It Holey'. Here's what she says:

"I would like to see a hole or holes on your project this week - it could be an aperture card, cheeseholing or any other type of hole you can think of. And just to make it a little more interesting, add a touch of distressing too! Remember to include one of the Charmed downloads"

I've used a pre-coloured George image from the Rock and Roll collection for my card. I bought a sheet of card today that's covered with holes, so used a piece of that for half of my card. The other half is covered in distressed brown dotty PP. Sentiment is a magazine freebie from ages ago.

Hen Party

My sister's Hen Party was the perfect excuse to take lots of photos and this week's challenge on UKScrappers was the perfect excuse to scrap some of them. Set by the Pink Glitter Gals, they challenged us to:

* use either black & white or at least 4 colours of the rainbow
** celebrate womanhood
*** use at least one distressing technique
**** use 5 of something

Here's how I met the criteria:

* I used pink/red/blue/green
** Theme is Jo's Hen Party before becoming a married woman
*** I sanded the edges of the bracket
**** I used 5 blooms

Full points claimed for my team and house The Ruby Snippers/Gold Eyelets

This was done following the Pencillines sketch 124
