Take Care at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

It's time for our very last challenge of 2023 at The Paper Shelter! This is a four week challenge to give you plenty of time to enter around your holiday celebrations. The theme is ANYTHING GOES, so let's see how far your creativity can fly!

Mental health has been a subject close to my heart this year, so I am sharing a page from the 'Lovely Bears' colouring book for a simple card.

Thank you for stopping by today. Your kind comments are always appreciated.

Please come and join in our challenge this week and remember, you can use any image but if you use a Paper Shelter image you are eligible for a higher value prize!

You can also share your creations over in our Facebook Group.

13th Birthday Blog Hop at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

Welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop, in celebration of The Paper Shelter's 13th Birthday on the 8th of December!  This will be a two week challenge, with both teams taking part, and it's our way of thanking The Paper Shelter for sharing their wonderful images with us, and sponsoring our challenge.

The theme for this special challenge is:

CELEBRATIONS

If you've arrived here from Natascha, then you're heading in the right direction!  If not, then you'll want to pop back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, because you don't want to miss out on this one.  Both Design Teams are participating, showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter, and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice, as well as the main prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog.

I have created a birthday card using 'Let's Get Loud'. With that name, I thought I would use some loud colours for the image and embellishments. 

I made a bokeh background and added white highlights to make the image really pop.

Of course you can't have a celebration without balloons and sparkle!

Products used:

• Card blank
• Papermania patterned paper
• Sentiment die
• Twine
• Posca paint pen - White
• Balloon dies
• Music notes die (cut from a birthday sentiment)
• ProMarkers - Cool Grey 5, Magenta, Carmine, Cerise, Black, Cool Grey 4, Cool Aqua, French Navy, Azure, Cobalt Blue, Coral, Sunkissed Pink, Oatmeal, Blush, Aubergine, Plum, Amethyst, Lavender, Canary & Lemon
• Prismacolor Pencils - White, Black, Metallic Silver & Process Red
• Wink of Stella - Clear

From here, you will need to hop on over to Patsy.  Don't forget to leave your comment for an opportunity to win your choice of one of the fabulous digis available in store!

Good Luck and I Hope you've enjoyed the Hop so far!
