Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge - Anything that flies!

It's Wendy's turn to choose the theme for this week's Secret Crafter Saturday Challenge, and she has chosen:

'Anything that flies!'

We are sponsored this month by Some Odd Girl, and they very genersously sent the DT some images to work with this week. I chose 'Witchy Tia'. I coloured her with watercolour pencils, and added some Glossy Accents to her eyes (available here at the Secret Crafter). I used Nesties (available here at the Sceret Crafter) to cut out the image and mat. The papers are from the 'Boo to You!' collection by My Mind's Eye, and I distressed all of the edges before adding some faux stitching using my CutterBee Bug and a black gel pen. The little bats and sentiment are from a pack of confetti I got from The Works.

I'm also entering this card into the following challenges:

• Truly Scrumptious - Sketch
• Crafty Catz - Hallowe'en
• Crafty Creations - Hallowe'en or Autumn
• Daring Cardmakers - Trick or Treat
• Little Red Wagon - Hallowe'en 
• PaperPlay - A haunting we will go

Pile It On! - Out of the Box

The theme for this week's Pile It On! Challenge is:

'Out of the Box'

Well...I was all out of ideas, until I went and browsed the images from our sponsor for this challenge...Some Odd Girl...I have printer issues using digi images...it leaves grey smudges over the card, and then the ink smudges when I try to colour, so I print all my digis out when I'm visiting my parents...but I really wanted to use one of the Some Odd Girl images on my card...so, thinking 'outside of the box', I decided to have a go at printing the image directly on to patterned papers...and it worked! I printed the tree several times on to different papers (from the 'Ooh La La (for Him)' collection by My Mind's Eye), then cut around the trunk and branches to mix and match the patterns .

I decided to make a tent card...placing one of the trees inside the aperture, on the circle of paper cut from the front of the card. The sentiment is from the 'Anytime Messages' set by Hero Arts, and I added a little bird stamped using a stamp from the 'Sending Sunshine' set by Simon Says Stamp.

Here's a side view, so that you can see the dimension:
