Alica's Inspiration Post - Crimson Moon

This is a card I created for this month's challenge using a decoupage image called Crimson Moon.

if you never used a decoupage image here is a closer look - it's a set of images you cut out and layer on top of each other with dimensionals creating a 3D effect

Come back again soon to see more fun creations from our talented DT members and of course don't miss the opportunity to play in our last challenge.

It's Time to Say Goodbye

Good evening everyone. This has been a hard post to write and has taken me a few days to pluck up the courage.

As you know we shut down the Facebook Challenge earlier this year and kept the Blog Challenge going. Sadly month after month it does not attract a lot of entrants despite it being open to all images. Therefore Ching-Chou Kuik and myself have decided that December 2023 will be the last Blog Challenge and then the blog will be closed down. The Facebook page will be left open for those to share their designs using Ching-Chou's amazing images.

We have had some AMAZING Design Team Members/Leaders over the years. We thank them for their friendship and the mega amazing cards/projects they have made month after month. If you fancy having a look pop on over HERE and see the first blog challenge in October 2014.

The challenge for December will go "live" on 1 December 2023 and this will be our final challenge. I hope you understand that this has not been an easy decision but it had to be made.

Alica's Inspiration Post - Purple Dragonfly


I'm back with another card - this time I used an image called Purple Dragonfly.


I tries something a bit different this time - I printed the digi on kraft cardstock and colored it with Prismacolor pencils. The pencils give you a nice coverage but the effect is a bit different than coloring on white.
Try it out too and join our November challenge - there is still a few days left to play.
