Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - February Challenge

Hello and welcome to Ellibelle's Crafty Wednesday - February challenge taking place right here on my blog! I'm so glad you decided to stop by and hope you'll join in with all your crafty makes too! There were many fabulous creations last month, many thanks to everyone who took part! Be sure to scroll down to see who made the top picks!

As a reminder, the theme is now always.......

Anything Goes,

and instead of a challenge theme there will be a "Top Pick Twist" but nobody knows what the twist will be (not even me) until the challenge closes as it will be inspired by YOUR creations. So do link up all your new or recently created projects for a chance to be featured. Remember, you may share anything crafty, handmade by you. It doesn't have to be a card.

My February sample:

I started out by stenciling the clouds (MFT cloud stencil) then stamped the image (Penny Black - retired). I stamped it again on a bristol vellum paper scrap then colored with Distress watercolor pencils and fussy cut the pig and balloons. Foam tape was used to adhere to the card. The sentiment is from the Penny Black set Dream.Love. Before adhering to the card base I used a wonky stitches die for some added interest, along with some tiny die cut hearts.

January Top Picks with a Twist:

As mentioned previously, there is now a Top Pick Twist when it comes to my selection of Top Picks. Nobody knows what the twist will be - not even me - until the end of the month as the twist will be totally inspired by YOUR creations. This means the top picks will all have something in common.

The Top Pick Twist from the January entries is ............ A Floral Affair meaning each one of my top picks will feature some flowers. I don't know about you but I am so ready to see flowers blooming again!

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

A few things to remember:

• You may use any brand of stamps/digis/products (no company restriction).
• Please try to limit your linked up cards to 3 entries per month - it's ok if you end up with more than 3.

• Backlinking to a recent post IS allowed.
• Digital products are allowed and very welcome but the final piece has to be a physical handmade creation, not just digital
