Welcome back to The Paper Shelter's challenges - both design teams had a wonderful break over the Holiday season, and we are all ready to get the challenges up and running again.  This week Team B was challenged to create a project with the theme of FLOWER EXTRA-VAGANZA!!!

Happy 2nd Birthday to The Paper Shelter!!!

Good Morning fellow crafter's and welcome to The Paper Shelter Blog Hop!!!

Our hop is a very exciting one for all of us at it is in celebration of our 2nd Birthday!!!!

 

If you have landed here from Debs blog, then you're heading in the right direction - if not then you'll want to head on back to The Paper Shelter Challenge Blog to start again, as you'll not want to miss out on this one!  Our Design Teams have worked very hard, and are showcasing the gorgeous images available from The Paper Shelter website, and each blog on the hop is offering one lucky commenter a digi of their choice.  There is also a grand prize, details of which are on The Paper Shelter Challenge blog.

The theme for this blog hop is Two of Anything, so I decided to play with the image "Happy New Year",  and one of the reasons I love digital stamps, is that it's so easy to flip and rotate images to create one of a kind card fronts!!!  I colored the image with Copics to make it look like the original image is placed on a sheet of ice - I'm hoping that this worked.  Glitter pens add some shimmer and shine to the finished card.

From here, you will need to hop on over to Angelique's blog.  Don't forget to leave your comment for a chance of winning your choice of one of the fab digis available in store.

Hop! Hop! Hop!

Good luck and hope you're enjoying it so far.

This is the image "I May Have Exaggerated a Bit" colored with Copics, then popped up on one of the gorgeous digital papers from the Paper Shelter.  The border is a punch from Martha Stewart, the spider and web are both Memory Box dies and the broom sentiment is from Recollections set.  The skull charm is from Jolee's and purple glitter highlights complete the card.

The Paper Shelter Challenge #84

Time for Team B to host the challenge at The Paper Shelter and this week we would love to see your project with the theme of "DISTRESSING".

 

 

I wanted to try a little bit of layering along with the distressing that I included on this card, so I printed two of the same digital papers from The Paper Shelter, and then fussy cut certain images to add dimension.  The paper is part of the "Arizona Fantasy" digital paper pack available here.  The card celebrates Breast Cancer Awareness month.  To add more texture and dimension I've crumbled the paper then inked and sanded it, and added pearl swirls for the final touch.

 

 
The winner of this challenge will receive a $30 Voucher for The Paper Shelter if their project includes a TPS image, or if you use another image you will still win 3 images of your choice.

TPS#78 Anything Goes

Another two weeks have flown by which means it's time for Team B to showcase the adorable images available at The Paper Shelter in the 78th challenge.  The theme for the next week is the ever popular "Anything Goes"and the wonderful folks at TPS are once again offering a terrific prize!

The image and paper that I am featuring is part of the Happy Times - Mega Pack, just one of three images and papers in the pack.  I have colored the image with Copics, cut the oval with a Spellbinders die, then inked and popped up the finished image on to the dp which I printed out on my Epson printer.  Faux stitches and a Whimsy Stamps sentiment complete the card.



TPS #76- Circles

Welcome to the next challenge at The Paper Shelter, and a big hello to the new design team members who have joined in the fun !!  This week the theme is "Circles" and I have colored up the gorgeous image "A Mucha Influence - Summer" available here.

After coloring the image with Copics, I wanted to give the card the look of stained glass, so I left the center untouched and painted the rest of the image with Rock Candy Distress Crackle paint.  When the crackle was dry, I lightly rubbed some Antique Linen distress ink over it to highlight the cracks.  The clear drops around the center frame are clear acrylic decorative fillers from the local big box store.  The sentiment is from Whimsy Stamps.

The Paper Shelter offers a wonderful prize for the winner of the challenge - if you use one of their adorable images you could win a $20.00 gift certificate, but if you use another image you can still win a prize of three digital images of your choice from the store.  For more details please check out the challenge blog here, and leave some love for the newest members of both Team A and B while you are there!!

The dp is from Best Creation's Cowboy Up collection, and comes already cut to this shape.  The metal brads are from Karen Foster, belt buckle is an oldie from W R Memory Keepers, and the ribbon is from my stash.  The sentiment is from a recent win at Art Impressions.
