Magical Crafts Challenge #12 and Critters & Cogs Final Preview Day

Good Morning Everyone and a Happy Easter to you all!!!

It's a gorgeous start to the day here today, so we are off to the local carboot and market in a bit before going to pick up MIL who is spending the day with us.  But before I nip off I best share with you the next challenge on Magical Crafts Fortnightly Challenges and the final preview for Pollycraft's 'Critters & Cogs'!!

MAGICAL CRAFTS CHALLENGE #12

Thank you to everyone who joined in with our last challenge which was Spring/Easter, it was such a delight to see so many fresh spring colours and lots of bunnies and chicks, and again it was another record breaker for the number of entries.

Our next challenge for you over on Magical Crafts is.....

'ANIMAL ANTICS'

A fairly easy one really we just want to see you use animals on your projects whether they are cute, cuddly, furry, feathery, funny or just plain ugly...lol.  We welcome back our monthly sponsor Simon Says Stamp, the winner will win a $10 spend in their store!!

The DT loved this animal themed challenge and have come up as usual with some superb inspiration for you, so be sure to check them out on the challenge blog.  Here's mine.....

RECIPE

Stamp - House Mouse (a RAK from my SIL, so don't know the correct name for it)

Papers - Papermania and Artilicious

Colouring Medium - Watercolour Pencils and Sansodor

Flowers & Leaves - Punched from the papers using Flower punches from Woodware and MS Frond Leaf

Flower Doily Border - Martha Stewart

Other Embellishments - Dew Drops from stash, coloured with permanent markers

Raindrops - 3D effect using Diamond Glaze

We do hope you will join us for our new challenge, remember we are a multi-craft challenge blog, so accept all kinds of crafts not just papercrafts as long as you stick to the challenge theme.
