Two Weekly Challenge



Morning all,

Hope you are enjoying your weekend!
Lots of nice things planned maybe or 
just relaxing?

As it is Sunday, you know what that means...
......Challenge Day!

We are getting loads of brilliant entries,
thank you!
We can't do these challenges without 
your participation!

So, what is it to be then....
.........as you know, last week
we were featuring Circles in honour of
 the Hula Hoop, soI think it will have to be 
Circles.....BUT the circles have to be
the background!  Ha ha, yes, your
 background must be circular or
 made from circles....does that make sense?
I'm sure it does!

You have two weeks, the link will
close at midnight on Sunday 
27th March and you can enter as many
times as you like.  If you cannot 
use the link, then email your pictures
to me at janecraftbarn@gmail.com

Generator and announced on 
Tuesday 29th March.  The winner will
receive a £10 Voucher.

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and I 
will see you soon!

Circles - Dawn Heald



Hi everyone,

Sorry to bring this project to you 
so late today, but I reckon it
is definitely worth waiting for!!

Dawn has made us this gorgeous 
card and due to her problems with
Google this week, I didn't receive it!
Add to that my deceased laptop and
having to work on my new Apple one,
well, I'm sorry but we are here at last!
My problem was mainly due to resizing
the photos to put on here, I always
thought you had to make them small
in size which is what I always do
but I haven't done it here as I just
 haven't worked out how to do it and it
seems to be fine!  
Question to all you bloggers.....do you
worry about what size your photos
are before putting them on here??

Ok, so let's carry on here...

Dawn says -


I love circles and wanted to show some
 ideas for creating a Bokeh effect with 
your papercrafting. You could also use 
other shapes like stars, hearts and squares
 having a few different sizes of that shape.
To make your shapes either use a stencil
 like I have or make your own from punches 
and dies. It's addictive once you get going.
 Another thing is you can use lots of the 
shape or just a sprinkling of them. 
Experiment and have fun.
My main card features different coloured 
Pigment ink on a plain white background.
I've also shown two further samples where
 I've made a coloured background using distress
 inks. One uses a white Pigment ink for the
 Bokeh Effect and the other White paint.


To make the card -

Take card blank and mask the edges off 
edges with masking tape.
Stamp your images onto card blank. 
Stamp again on paper or sticky notes to
 make some masks. Place masks onto
 stamped images. 


Use circles stencil and Neon Inks over 
the card blank to create your Bokeh Effect. 


Move the circles stencil around 
to fill as much as liked.


Remove tape and masks. Colour images with 
colored Pencils.

 
Doodle a border with black
 pen and add some white gel pen details.
Add some round buttons to finish.
