Creata Challenge - Monochrome

Here's my entry into the above challenge, and here's the link http://creatachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/ .
I wanted my predominant colour to be black and have got various shades of it in the decoupage image, but added white card as I think it blends quite well. I used Creata black mirror card and punched two buttons from it, and I coloured the Creata lace gel sticker with a black promarker.


 
 
Items Used
 
Kaisercraft backing paper
White card
Creata lace gel sticker (coloured black)
Creata black mirror card

Creata Challenge - Colour Block

Here's my entry into the above challenge, and here's the link http://creatachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/
It's a bit quirky, but I just went with the flow, the flowers are punched out from the papers and the stem with leaves is made from the pressed out shapes from the circular die, with a stem drawn in and some little flowers from a Creata peel off sheet which I won in a previous challenge.  I then went around the edge with little crosses using a Whisper pen and added some gems to the flowers.

 
Items Used
 
Square card
Coloured papers
Creata circular die
Creata butterfly border die
Butterfly embellishment
Gems
Peel offs

Two more cards using Creata products

I haven't made very much lately, 2014 got off to a shaky start what with one thing and another.  Still, I have lots of stash to use so hopefully the creative mojo will return soon.  Here are a couple of cards I made using Creata products and Pampered Pets/Debbi Moore ranges.  Thanks for looking !



Creata Challenge - Upcycle (From Trash to Treasure)

As I had an empty Pringles tube about to be thrown away, I suddenly had an idea for the above challenge.  I have quite a few Craft rulers now, and they stick out of my storage carousel in an awkward way, so this tube seemed to be the answer !    I stuck the butterflies on using strips of folded acetate to give the impression of movement and glazed the decoupage flower section.  The link to the challenge is http://creatachallenge.blogspot.co.uk/


 
Items Used
 
Pringles tube
Creata Mirror card
Creata double sided card/decoupage
Ribbon
EK Success border punch
Dotty butterflies
Acetate strips
Glaze
