Challenge 70-Buttons

Good afternoon everyone, hope you are well! Elaine here with our new challenge for the fortnight-and our theme this time is 'Buttons'. I love Buttons as they are so versatile-we would love to see any of your projects using Buttons as a feature-I cant wait to see what you come up with!

Here are our fabulous inspiration pieces by our Design Team

Elaine

I have used Paper and Cross Stitch Greeting from the Retro Home CD with buttons in the shape of Butterflies as my focal point.

Jaine 

I've used the new Retro Home cd to create my tag and embellishments including the buttons which I've covered with clear embossing powder to give them a realistic shine. 

Carol

For my first Design Team card I used the Oz collection(I am an Ozaholic).  I used papers and embellishments and layered them for some dimension. I have made Dorothys shoes and Glindas wand and crown glittery, the Wizard has a pair of shiny shoes thanks to Glossy Accents which I also added to the Lions and Totos nose. I popped a love heart button onto the roof of the house.

Clare

All elements are from the Retro Home Collection..drool! lol

  papers- retro star,multi-dot and stripe

sentiment- hand stitched 'with love'

digi stamps-kettle,housewife,scales and worktop (coloured using my promarkers)

everything else is from my stash including the buttons that came from my local charity shop

Nicole

I created my card using the Say Cheese Digi kit. It was all created digitally and then printed. I added some ribbon and mounted the topper on the woodgrain paper from the kit to add some more dimension.

Sharon

For my first card with the Design team I made a card using the fabulous Steam Punk CD. All papers,embellishments and sentiments are from the CD. I distressed the edges of the papers and edged with copper Versacolor.The buttons were printed out and coated with Glossy Accents to add some shine.

Claireliz

Claire used papers from the Steampunk CD to alter this old sweet tin, adding buttons to the top!

All of the Sarah Hurley products used in these projects are available here in the shop

Challenge 69 - *Sponsored by Letraset* - Dimension & Texture

This week we are super lucky to be sponsored by Letraset! and up for grabs for the winner this time is a set of Spring Promarkers!

The theme this time is Dimension & Texture - we want to see layers, texture, fabric, paint, glitter, ribbon, 3D projects, anything that shows off your use of dimension and texture!

Here is the inspiration from my lovely Design Team...

Jaine

I used pretty papers from the Retro Home collection and the texture (although hard to tell) has been provided by layering and lots of stitching.

Claireliz

I used a Manilla tag with an embossing folder & rubbed some ink over the areas, a chipboard heart covered with crackle glaze & glitter, a pair of Swiss dot embossed wings. The little fella was coloured with Promarkers & both he & the words Fly & Escape came from Sarah's Steampunk CD.

Emma

I used papers and elements from Sarah's Retro Home CD to create my little notebook tag. I've added dimension with the rosettes and texture with the ripped paper, ribbons and twine.

Elaine
I have used Steampunk papers and Greeting tag to alter a Kraft gift box, and added one of my Recycled Pepsi can flowers as my embellishment.

Clare

I've used papers and stamps (owl & cloud) from Sarah's Woodland Whimsey collection. I used some rafia and ribbon for texture and I also used Promarker pens to create fur. I used lots of layers and added foam squares to create dimension.

 Nat

I used Sarah's Britannia collection to create texture and layers on this scrapbook page

Jess

I used the Country Garden Collection on the Britannia CD to create this card.

We are extending this challenge by a week to give us time to get the new Design Team members organised, so we look forward to seeing your projects - you have until midnight on 8th July to enter! - just click below to submit your link!
