Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - July Challenge

Hello and welcome to Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - July 2022 right here on my blog! I'm so glad you decided to stop by today, hope you will link up your new or recently made creation too! There were many beautiful creations shared in last month's linkup, be sure to scroll down to see last month's features! 


As a reminder, the link up themes are now always ..............

Anything Goes,


and instead is replaced by a Top Pick Twist.


So feel free to link up all your new or recently made crafty things for a chance to be featured next month. As mentioned, the features now will follow a theme/twist but nobody knows what that will be until the end of the month (not even me) and will be inspired by YOUR creations. Will it be something you incorporated on your card? As always, the  linky tool is at the end of the post.


Here is what I made:


I started out my masking around the edges using painter's tape. Was going to use an ink blending brush to ink up inside the rectangle but then instead I decided to use an ink block to smoosh the colors onto the paper instead. I used Wilted Violet and Blueprint Sketch Distress Oxide inks. When the ink was dry I removed the tape and stamped Penny Black's Dainty Whispers image using Versafine Onyx ink. I paper pierced along the inked edges.

Sentiment is an oldie from a retired Flourishes set (as you probably know the company is no longer in business) I purchased it on eBay a year or two ago. A Sakura stardust glitter pen was used on the flowers/seeds and I added a few sticky rhinestones before adhering to the card base.

June Top Pick Twist:


As introduced with the last challenge, instead of selecting a challenge theme I am now selecting a "Top Pick Twist". Nobody knows what the Top Pick Twist will be - not even me - until the end of the month as it will be totally inspired by YOUR creations! 

I will continue to pin the top picks to the dedicated Pinterest board, but will also include photo and link back to the origitnal blogs/sites here. These will be removed at the start of the new challenge to stay in compliance with GDPR.

So without further ado here are last month's Top Picks and the Top Pick Twist is:

Non- Traditional embellishments/items

No. 37 Valerie

No. 40 Mia 

No. 47 Carole

No. 60 Niki 




Congratulations! Well deserved recognition! Your Top Pick logo is below, feel free to use it on your own blogs if you like to :)

Amazing card! What a wonderful background! I like this combination of violet and blue. This cut-out in the middle of your card surrounded by those points looks very elegant. And the Penny Blacks "Dainty Whispers" appear very pretty in the front. Very true sentiment as well.
Thanks a lot for joining the current EAC challenge.
