Fairy Bingo

I just love Stitchbear digital stamps and have recently been checking out their weekly challenge blog, http://www.onestitchatatimechallenge.blogspot.com/ .  Having never entered a challenge before (never seem to have the time) this one caught my attention and as I have today off work I thought I would give it a go <g>.  I set myself the challenge of trying to use all nine sections, just for the fun of it.

This weeks challenge is called 'Bingo' and each entry had to contain a line / full house of the items given.
  1. Ribbon
  2. Embossing
  3. Buttons
  4. Sticker
  5. Digi
  6. Bling
  7. Sentiment
  8. Lace
  9. Die-cut
For my entry:-
  1. Ribbon - I added a ribbon bow
  2. Embossing - I created a swirly background .svg which I then embossed onto 120gms white paper using my Black Cat
  3. Button - this was fun, hardly any buttons in my house but I managed to find three white shirt buttons which I then coloured with Promarkers
  4. Sticker - Two line stickers have been used to edge the white topper layer and also I created the Thinking of You sticker by designing it, saving as a .svg and then cutting it out of vinyl.  This was also coloured with Promarkers.
  5. Digi - I was busy colouring in this digi, 'Ivy Fairy' from Delicious Doodles last night while cheking out the One Stitch At A Time Challenge so it had to be this digi I used.
  6. Bling - to achieve this setion I heat fixed 6 turquoise gems around the fairy wings and also dotted the 'i's' on the Thinking of You text with Stickles
  7. Sentiment - just something I thought up which seemed to work so well with the digi
  8. Lace - white lace, coloured with Promarkers
  9. Die-Cut - there are two in this card, the first is the Thinking of You text which I created and the second is the top wing of the fairy which once printed and cut was adhered to the card with foam tape, just to give a bit of depth.
There, I think that pretty much sums up the why and how of this card.  Now for the outcome :)



Having had a look at other folks entries I see many enter the same card for several different challenges.  Shall I give it a go <g>

I have also entered this card in the following challenges:-
  1. Digi Galore - For a Friend
  2. Two Sisters Challenge - Things With Wings
  3. Love to Create - Anything Goes
  4. Divas By Design - Challenge 54 fairies and fantasy
  5. OSAAT - Challenge #132...Bingo

Whoopee - got a big smile on my face and just had to capture the moment for prosperity <g>

  5. WOW! Congrats on taking the plunge into blog challenges - am so glad OSAAT has inspired you to have a go! :)

    Your card is gorgeous - and well done on getting a full house! :D I love your inventiveness too, searching out t-shirt buttons to add to your card! :lol:

    I love how you've coloured this gorgeous image and especially the way you've decoupaged the wings - it works really well. Fabulous sentiment too.

    Thanks so much for taking part in our challenge this week and good luck in the draw! :D

  11. Beautiful card - I'm not surprised you won the prize. It's lovely to see the effects of your Black Cat. I've had my cougar for 18 months and love it to bits.
