Second Week of "Anything Goes" Challenge

Wow!  We have a week to go and we already have 75 entered to win the $10.00 gift certificate from Classy Cards and Such.  You can find all your crafting needs at Bev's  online store.  And you receive your purchase from her FAST.  Drop by and check her site out as she has some great buys.
The Design Team has really been hard at work this week trying to inspire you to enter.  Remember, there is only one restriction on this challenge.  What you have entered must be something you have not posted or entered into a challenge previously.  There is a shortcut to my challenges at the top of my sidebar.

My little bit of inspiration is an ATC.  The background is alcohol ink and the sentiment is very thick cardstock.  The rabbit and baby ducks are stickers.  Mr. Rabbit believes in himself that he can jump over the three little ducklings.  I think he can do it.

I am also entring my ATC in Wicked Wednesday's Challenge "Easter and Chicks"

"Bejeweled Bird"
I had lots of jewelry bits and pieces I'd been saving. When I found a bag of metal clip candle holders, I got to thinking of what I could do to combine them. The result was this blingy bird! The body is the candle holder base. I cut off the clip (which half of became the tail) and bent down the "petals" of the holder. I attached a gold earring as the wing. The head is a washer with an earring attached for the eye. The beak is the earring back. Wires, beads and feather charms finish off the bird details. The base is a wooden block covered with designer paper and distressed.

I've made this Steampunk Themed card with a fantastic new image from Strange Skins Digis, I've embossed the background with a "Clockworks" Cuttlebug folder, added some "screw" brads and a great sentiment printed with a really funky "Steampunk Font"!!

Easter Baskets
I am still in Easter mode and need a few more Easter baskets for some chocolatey treats. These ones were so much fun and so easy to make. I stamped some Waltzing Mouse Easter eggs on white paper using distress inks in different colours and cut the images and the handle with Nestabilities egg dies. The sides and bottom of the basket are a paperstrip in matching colours to the eggs . On both sides of the strip I made little cuts so that it is easier to shape the paper. And then starts the fun with decorating. I kept it simple with a stamped sentiment from Waltzing Mouse.

For the second week of the challengeI have made a painted postcard. The background has been painted with several layers of acrylic paint, using punchinella for effects. I sponged through the waste from a TH branch tree die-cut to make the shadowy tree. The bird is from Prima.

This week I made an ATC for Easter featuring an image from Twisted Papers and silver stencil stick ons  from Classy Cards and Such. It comes on a sheet with all kinds of neat shapes.  Some lucky chick is going to win that gift certificate!  I wish you all good luck.

I used some DP from 7Gypsies and attached a large "Gluber" (glue dot) to it, then pressed and folded my ribbon to create a flower with a button center.  Simple but effective, I think.  Added a few black pearl stickers and I was done!  Good luck with the challenge, friends!

Challenge # 39 "Anything Goes"

Here is the chance  you have been waiting for,  You are in the process of creating something and you can't find a challenge to enter it in.  Well this is it.  The theme is "Anything Goes".  There is only one restriction;  it cannot be something you have posted before.  You may have created it last month, but never posted.  Well that is ok.  The gals on the Desigonn Team have given you some ideas.  So get crafting as you have 2 weeks to post your creation.

Vicki
As mentioned below in the information about my sponsor I bought some Cheery Lynn dies the other day and couldn't wait to use them so you will find that I used one in the the post right before this one.  I will be using some of the others during this week. 
My creation is an ornament.  Yes, I know it is not Christmas, but you will see that is has flowers on it.  I hope to make a number of these "garden" ornaments to put on a Spring tree.  One of my DT members, Cindy, told me how to make the ornament.  (She is missing on this post as she is out of town.)  The ornament is made from 3 dominoes on a metal backing.  Alcohole inks are on the background and a rose was stamped multiple times.  The ornament is surrounded by beads I had in my stash.

I'm using the "Anything Goes" theme as a chance to get ready for Easter! I found this darling baby-in-an-egg image from French Kissed Postcards and I've adhered it to some pretty blue lace paper, neutral cardstock and added a metallic Easter Bunny. Who doesn't love an "anything goes" challenge? Please join us!
Sharon
I've made this "clean and simple" card using some digi images I bought ages ago and hadn't used!!! They are from Digi Design House - I love these funky dancers. I added the quote from the Quote Garden Site and stuck with the pink and black colour tonings.

Spring has definitely arrived and Easter is just around the corner. I created an easterly chunky ATC in form of a little box for Easter treats using my own template and decorating it with EchoPark patterend papers, a bunny image from the Graphics Fairy, stamps from Waltzing Mouse, fabric flowers and some little blings. Enjoy the sunshine!
Valerie
For my DT piece I have made a tag cut from some Anna Griffin paper. I have over-stamped it with some flourishes in forest moss, and then placed the image - printed onto acrylic - behind the TH die-cut. I have added some bling to the tree, and two vintage scraps; the children at the front, and the owl on the lady's shoulder. 
Jenn
Jenn here - we had some unseasonably warm temps here in New England last week, and it got me in the SUMMER SPIRIT! I used Country Anya, a digi image from the Greeting Farm, along with a template of a peach found online at Elizabeth Dulemba's coloring page site. My DP is from Authentique - ribbon is from my stash.
