Summer Fun With The Boys at The Paper Shelter

Hello Crafty Peeps,

We're back from our summer break, so it's time for a new challenge at The Paper Shelter. This week our theme is Enjoy The Summer Sun.

I decided to create a landscape slimline scene, showing a couple of brothers at the beach.

I used 'Ice Cream Boy' from the 'Happy Times Mega Pack', with 'Happy Times Beach Boy'.

 A closer look at each of the boys -

This boy is just over ½" tall and probably the smallest character I have coloured!

I couldn't have a beach scene without some sparkles!

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!

Guest Designer at Penny's Paper-Crafty Challenge

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

I won the challenge at Penny's Paper-Crafty last month, so I was asked to be a Guest Designer for Challenge #578.

One of their sponsors is Sheepski Designs, and I was given a choice of images to use.

I chose 'Gnome Punk' because I love the Steampunk vibe, and made a Double-Z Fold card.

It doesn't look like it, but I used Neon Lunar Paste over the embossed gears and clocks. I love how different it looks over the brown card.

I chose the ribbon first, so thought theses sentiments went quite well with it.

Thanks for stopping by today, I hope you'll be back soon!

Magical Birthday Wishes at The Paper Shelter

 Hello Crafty Peeps,

it's time for another challenge at The Paper Shelter and this time it is our Summer Break Challenge, which will run for 4 weeks to give the teams some time off. 

The theme is Anything Goes, so you can let your imagination run wild.

I have made a birthday card for my friend, using 'Cloudcrest Dragon'. Isn't he the cutest? I love to try new folds and found this Tower Fold Card inspiration on Pinterest. It's really simple to make, but gives stunning results with the extra dimension,

I went over the black lines of the clouds with white pen to give them a softer look.

Magical cards always need some sparkle!
