Crafty Friends Challenge 24

This fortnight challenge is Animals / Birds.

For this challenge I was fortunate to use the cute Sweet skunks digi from Pickled Potpourri. Since there are 2 images in the set I could not resist and made 2 cards, one with each. My first card is after a design from Stempeleinmaleins. The die I used is front Joy!Craft.

The second card I kept very simple, I just used a stitching pattern from Ann's Paper Art
 

My third card was not planned, but I just loved this digi from our other sponsor Inky Impressions. And since I want to start in time with Christmas cards this year, it was a good opportunity to combine it into a card. The die I used for this card is from Sizzix.

The stitching pattern is from Ann's Paper Art and the lovely digi is from Bugaboo stamps.

Jungle Funny

Another day in the Bugaboo's 6th birthday bash. 
Day 5 - Make it funny and use an animal. Well in my case this time more a zoo subject rather than a jungle with mr crab.

The sentiment is from Whiff of Joy, the digi from Bugaboo stamps.

A new day and a new challenge in the Bugaboo's 6th birthday bash.
And today it's day 3 - color challenge.

I chose to work with the green and red. The stitching pattern is a Joy!Crafts stitching die from Chrissie, the cute digi is from Bugaboo stamps.

Jungle sketchy

The second day of the Bugaboo's 6th birthday bash.
Day 2 - a sketch challenge, and luckily one that gives you lots of possibilities. I changed it from A6 to square as otherwise my image did not fit.

For this card I again used a cottage cuts die, an EK success punch and a die/stamp set from Whimsy.

Bugaboo birthday bash

A great new challenge to celebrate Bugaboo's 6th birthday. So I will attempt to play along again for another week as I really enjoyed the Chaos challenge last December. Here is my card for day 1 - Wild thing you make my heart sing!

For this card I used a cottage cutz die and a punch from EK success.

My second card I made with the cute digi stamps from Pretty Grafik Design. For this card I used another Christmas gift, my newest stitching pattern from Ann's Paper Art.
