How to: clown around

Hello Crafty Blogland! Today I would like to share a card made for the brand new challenge at

which is

RED, WHITE AND/OR BLUE

Our sponsor for this challenge is

I made a B'day card using the sponsor's funny image.

I have chosen the 'Little Clown Dress Up' digi, he's adorable and so funny. The stamp is colored with Promarkers and distressed with distress ink.

I really like how this color combo came out. I added two red bows only and some pearls from my stash.

The sentiment says 'Best wishes' and it's a rubber stamp.

Thank you for visiting my blog!

How to: run really fast

Hello everyone, still really hot here, but it seems there will be a storm today. Another reason to stay home and craft LOL

Today a new challenge starts at

and the theme is

HOUSES / HOMES

And it depends on you how you are going to incorporate them into your creations.

Our sponsor for this challenge is

Still making some masculine cards, I've ended up with this.

I used the sponsor's digi 'House on a Hill' as a background and 'Run Derek Run' from Dr Digi. They are both colored with Promarkers. And Derek is placed on a 3D foam.

I also added some dies to make this scene complete.

The sentiment says 'Run as fas as you can' in our regional Silesian dialect.
