Crafting Ireland Competition Sketch.

So the GBCE is in 8 more sleeps & I am as excited as a kid waiting for the school tour!!

Crafting Ireland will be there & will be running some competitions. Here is the details for the 1st competition!

You have to follow this sketch!

You can rotate the sketch & change it from a rectangle to a square. As long as Nicole & Timi can see the sketch in your project it's all good!

Here are 3 cards I have done & you can get some more inspiration on the Crafting Ireland blog.

I am looking forward to seeing what everyone else comes up with!!

Some quick & simple cards!

I decided to have a go at making some cards that are different to my usual style of card! I love seeing cards that are clean & simple but yet very effective so here is my attempt at clean & simple!

Going away card & a Thank you card!

The girl who asked me to make this card was so happy with it that she asked me to make another A4 card for a friend of hers who was going to Australia to go travelling for a year!

The girl was starting in Cairns & making her way down to Sydney.

This is what I came up with.

I printed the map off & distressed it.

I sent the card off to the customer & then a few days after I got the cheque in the post but there was something else in the envelope!!

& on the inside

I was so thrilled with this little card telling me how happy she was with my work & it is fantastic to have the little card to keep!!

Yay!! I was published again!!!

So in issue 3 of Crafting Ireland (Irelands 1st on line crafting magazine) there were submission calls for issue 4 & the themes were Autumn & Halloween & then there was a picture too that was to be used as inspiration for a project that would be entered into a competition!

Guess what!!!!

I was one of 2 people who won the competition & I had a card & a LO published in issue 4!

I am delighted to be published again & also very excited that I won the competition! For my prize I will get either 7 Gypsies Conservatory Papers or My Minds Eye Lost & Found Papers which were very generously donated by The Crafty Alley

this is the photo that we had to take inspiration from

This is the card I made!

I used the colours from the inspiration photo & also texure!

The image is one from Claire & was coloured using ProMarkers but I don't remember which colours I used!!

This is the card I submitted for the Autumn theme!

This card was made using leftovers from the Crafty Queens mini album! All I added was the Gorjuss girl image who was coloured with ProMarkers (& again I can't remember the colours) & also the embossed leaves background!!

This was the LO I submitted for the Halloween theme.

I have been dying to do a LO with these photo's of the kids with the tarantulas so the Halloween theme was just perfect!!

The spider web & the title were cut using my eCraft! The organza ribbon was heated with my heat gun to make it all wrinkly!
