My Time To Craft Challenge - Circles

For this weeks challenge from My Time To Craft is Circles. I've used Basic Grey's Cupcake range for this card, papers are from the 6" pad and the cupcake itself is from the chipboard stickers.

Monotone Rainbow Colours

Sorry that the photo's so poor, the colouring is mainly cranberry/wine but the photo makes it look more pink. This weeks challenge from the Rainbow Lady is Monotone Rainbow Colours, and will run for a while. For the first of the challenges I've chosen Red, I'm going to do them in order, I will get completely confused otherwise. I covered my 5"x7" canvas with Adirondack Dabber in Cranberry, I then added a couple of torn sections of a cherry background paper to add a little texture, these where then lightly painted over with Cranberry Dauber to tone in with the piece. Grungeboard hinges and swirls in the swirl texture have been covered in Cranberry Dauber, wine ribbon and christmas red eyelets, have been used to embellish them. Several clusters of deep wine beads have been added using christmas red Stickles. The silk flowers, brads and buttons have been altered by adding varying amounts of Cranberry Dauber and a trio of small brads have been added to complete the look. Apologies again for the poor photo just imagine deep Burgundy velvet.

In the Pink

I got a bit excited with this weeks Rainbow Lady's Challenge: Beads. I had a hundred and one ideas going on but I settled on these two clipboards.

Both clipboards are covered in Anna Griffin papers, the letters are Papermania Swirls and Flowers chipboard letters altered with Adirondack Dabbers. The first clipboard is A5 in size, the small tag is dabbered grungeboard with beads from an Artisan Jewellry Kit threaded onto embrodery threads. The Second clipboard is A4 with microbeads used to create the flower heads on the right hand side.
