Crafty Friends Challenge No 23 - Anything Goes

Good Morning Everyone...

I really enjoyed making my cards for this challenge over at Crafty Friends Challenge Blog.... The digital stamps were kindly given to me from 'A Random Fan' and As Cute As A Button', please see more details about our wonderful sponsors further down this post.

The theme of our challenge is

ANYTHING GOES


I have made 2 cards - my first card has been made using an image from a Random Fan, please scroll further down this post to see my second card using an Image from As Cute as A Button....


As soon as I saw this fab image from 'A Random Fan', I thought about my new tree die and thought they would go together perfectly...  I made a double side step card so she could hang from the trees and look as if she is swinging back and too in a forest.


Here is a side view and a close-up of the little girl digital stamp...
 Items Used:
Digital Stamp: 'Hanging On' from 'A Random Fan'.
Image, Trees, Critters all coloured using Promarker pens

My second card has been made using another fab image, this time its from 'As Cute As A Button' and I loved colouring her in.  The Tim Holtz cogs die goes perfectly with the image and so do the designer papers.

Both cards are absolutely gorgeous! I love how you have used the centre stepper card to it's full potential to create a 3D scene with the trees.
Then of course there is the Steampunk themed card, which is one of my favourite subjects and of course it fits the Fantasy theme beautifully. Thanks for joining in our challenge at Passion for Promarkers this week, hope to see you again soon.
