Challenge 3 2012 - Make a Scene

Challenge 3 is a little bit different and we think a whole lot of fun. We want you to build a scene on your project. This means that you should start with a background picture and build it up with other items that are on the same theme to make a picture, and you can see what we mean if you look at the examples below.

We are pleased to introduce another new sponsor for this challenge and one of our regular sponsors.

The sponsors are:

Limited Runs who have lots of lovely images, as well as a monthly challenge. Hop on over to explore this very interesting site.

Limited Runs are offering our first place winner 3 digi images of their choice.

and our new sponsor Squigglefly who have so many images I didn't know where to begin! They also have challenges, freebies, and interesting links and this is another great site for those who love exploring.

Squigglefly are offering our second place winner 3 images (including sets) of their choice.

Now for some examples to get you thinking.

First of all our guest designers:

Andria used Limited Runs Mushroom House, with little birds and butterflies, and a cute die cut fence in front.

Mary (who made the top three two weeks running including first place with her lovely advent box in December) also used the Mushroom House from Limited Runds and the butterfly to make this lovely card on a multi textured and layered white background.

Angie used the Japanese Scene and elements from the Japanese Pack, available from Squigglefly, on her very peaceful card. Angie said "I've never done putting a scene together so it was different!".

and now for the Quirky Crafts Team:

Caro: I used the Limited Runs digital stamps (Tree 1, mushroom house, Mouse and big cupcake, Cuddles, Butterfly 3, dragonfly 1 and Little bird) to make this picture which is going on my sons wall. I didn't use any fancy art packages, just printed them all out and then cut them out to layer onto the background. They were all coloured in with promarkers and I used tapestry stamps for leaves on the tree. I finished the scene off with glitter glue on the wings of the dragonfly, the spots on the butterfly and the icing on the cupcake.

Diane: I decided to take the theme literally, and create a scene for a nursery wall. I used the Limited Runs Digital stamps in the Craft Artist program to create this scene. I printed extra images to decoupage the elements, especially the butterflies and the cat.

Cazzy: I used the Japanese scene and Japanese pack from Squigglefly and I managed to get the screen in there too. My little old lady is about to put up another lantern to celebrate. All the visitors have politely taken off their sandals and left them outside.

Lyn will be back with us very soon, we all send her our best.

Surprise! Hi guys, just had to have a go when I saw Nikki's (Limited Runs) Mushroom House (I love mushroom houses) Sorry I couldn't make a card, so this is completely digital!! I coloured the digi in PaintNet. Missing you all, hope to be back soon! ((Lyn))
