Scatty Jan Using one of my favourite ever collections Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles , I have made a little (large) gift shop , stocked full of lovely seaside tat treasures. The Brick paper is from Work & Play 2 and the wooden paper is from the Distressed Wood paper collection - Lots more details and photo's on my blog xx

 

Claire C  For my DT project I've made a little concertina book with a stampbord cover using stamps from Tropical Underworld and coloured them with Graph'It Markers. I've stamped the images with Memento Inks and added distress inks in blues and green. The stampbord cover was then triple embossed with clear UTEE....

                                        

Anjie - I have made a door sign for our new summer house for this weeks challenge, using an MDF plaque. I used one of the plainer papers from the Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles collection as a back ground. I then used the Tropical Oceans stamp set to stamp some background images onto the paper. I then stamped the porthole and the beach hut. Finally I used a few of the MDF pieces from the Nautical large MDF embellies set Lots more info and photos on my blog.

Tracy -  So I have the perfect excuse to play with the wonderful Meribelle collection. I used the image  called  Swimming around.  I had a chance to sit down, relax, music on and colour with copics and finished off with prisma pencils to make picture pop out.

Michelle I have used Starfish and Sandcastles Collection for my project what else would I use 

for by the seaside theme I used papers, embellishments, creatures and image from the collection 

for the image I used Copics to colour...

Bev here with my seaside creation for you using a pre coloured topper from the oh so useful Bonbon Belles. I run along the beach 3 times a week so used the colour scheme I see as my inspiration.

Katrina - I've made a little canvas using the beach hut digi stamp from the Summertime collection and the fence/shoreline digi from Winnie Starfish and Sandcastles. I resized and arranged them in Craft Artist before printing onto tissue paper. This was glued onto the canvas and I painted over the top with acrylics.

Fabulous inspiration by the Design Team!

Susan Bennett

We are so chuffed and blessed to have these 3 talented crafters joining us for the next few weeks so make sure you pop over to their blogs and follow them for lots of inspiration!

 

Jessie: I use Octavia Moonfly Wistful and coloured her up with my copic markers. For my embossed element I used Stampendous Shabby White and sprinkled it around the image and then heat embossed it, lots of layers finish off this fun shabby card

Susan: I have used Eden Blossoms coloured with Promarkers. My embossing is the backing done with Birds and Swirls embossing folder and also the flowers have been stamped onto vellum and embossed

Jackie:

... and the Design Team have been working hard too - here are their fabulous makes for the start of this new challenge.

Penny - with the beautiful pre-coloured image from the Serenity Collection - Serenity Joyful.  She is also an uncoloured Digi image.   The Collection as always has stunning digital papers and sentiments. I printed on glossy to allow the colours to really pop.   Our theme is Embossing and I chose to use both dry embossing with folders and embossing paste with a stencil and Whipped Spackle Paste.   The coloured image allowed me to make this card up really swiftly.

Asha - My card features a fairy from the sweet Serenity Fairy Collection. She's called Serenity Blossom and is also available as a separate download. I coloured her with Polychromo pencils. The patterned paper is from the Work and Play 10: Country Life Collection. I dry embossed it and inked it to make the swirly design stand out. The ticket tag is from the Serenity Fairy Collection. To finish I added Stickles and bling.

Scatty Jan - For my Embossing card I have used the lovely digi image Luna, coloured with Graph'It markers and a couple of Polychromo also using the White shake it Graph'It pen. I have embossed a tag using a butterfly folder and used distress ink over it. The papers I have used are the Distressed wood printables that I have also ink distressed the edges to match the colours used. Finished off with ribbon, flowers, gems and bling.

Karon -  I have used the wonderful Twiggy and Toots collection for my creation this week.  The striped background has been embossed and inked using a woodgrain effect embossing folder.  All the papers, and sentiments are from this wonderful collection.  I used one of the Design sheets and pre-coloured image and the Design Sheet is available as a single download too :-)

Cheremane - For my inspiration this time I've used the beautifully stunning  Serenity Fairy Wishes Collection.  I have used the pre-coloured Serenity Joyful Digi as my main image. For my embossing I have used an embossing folder on the butterfly edge and sanded it back for tone and then added frantage embossing powder for detail too. I have also embossed my die cut frame. The papers and sentiment are all from the Serenity Fairy Wishes Collection as well. Such a stunning collection and so easy to work with.

Agnieszka - hello Crafters :) Today I want to share with you my exploding box ful of owls ;), this time I used Twiggy and Toots collection :) I added pre-coloured images with owls and two tinny wodden owls. For my embossing I used embossing folder. In the middle of my box (under lid) is a place where you can write something:) I hope you like it. Happy crafting.

Wonderful creations and inspiration from the Design Team and our wonderful

Guest Designers.

The winners for our Frame It challenge will be announced next Friday.
