Colours of Autumn

As promised in my previous post, here's the reveal of my LO done for Ribbon Mad. It can be seen in their gallery here. Check out the other projects too as they are simply amazing.

I was given the fantastic October 'SPOOKY' kit to work with and this is what I did:

1) I used the orange/black striped ribbon to create a border around the three sides of my photo.

2) By sticking DST to the top of the ladybird ribbon, I was able to pleat it as I stuck it down on the bottom of the photo.

3) I made flowers out of the orange organza and black/orange stitched ribbons, before stitching them together and adding an orange button.

4) I stuck black buttons onto the top corners and inked some *chipboard letters.

* the letters were from my stash, but all other items were from the kit I was given to work with.

Ribbon Mad

I was asked by Emma at Ribbon Mad, to be a Guest Designer for next month to help showcase the October Ribbon Kit. The chance to work with fantastic ribbons? How could a girl say no?

Here's a sneaky peak to my LO.

The full LO will be on display here in a few days. What I can tell you, is that the ribbon at the bottom of the LO is simply gorgeous and my favourite. I'd've been getting the kit just for that! LOL

Freebie Wedding Car Challenge at Crafty Muse

Sammi is giving away a freebie image on Crafty Muse for you. All that's asked, is that you use it in a craft project this next fortnight. You have the chance to be a Guest Designer if you have the winning creation. Crafty Muse is also on the hunt for more Design Team menbers, so please remember to let us know if you are interested when you post a comment. If you are chosen to join the Design Team, you will be given FREE digi-stamps to work with. Sounds great doesn't it?

I made a digi-card for this week's challenge. I've removed the car from the background using PictureIt!, coloured it using Paint.NET and added a background and sentiment using PictureIt!

Digi-stamps are so versatile. You can:

* print them 'as is', add your own colours using pens/paints/pencils/chalks etc and use papers and embellies to complete your craft project

** colour them in using computer software, print and use papers/embellies

*** do your complete project using computer software (as I have done this week)

The other great thing with digi-stamps is that unlike rubber stamps they can be re-sized; before printing, to fit the project you're working with. The car here fits an A5 card, but the image I water-coloured the other month is almost A4 in size.

Thanks for looking

Take care, love and hugs
