Challenge 3 Anything (Fantasy) Goes

Good Afternoon and welcome back for another challenge at Fantasy Crafters!  We're thrilled with all the entries of our last challenge and will be back in a couple of days with the winners of the fab prize from Crafts & Me.

This month we are freestyling and I do have a mystery rubber stamp prize up for grabs and we do choose a Top 3 which you can earn yourself one of our awesome badges.

Again the rules, we're fairly relaxed, all we ask is it has to be fantasy themed and no backlinking to posts posted prior to 15th Sept.  You can combine as many as you like and enter as many times as you like.

So without further ado, over to the girls with their inspiration for you this month.

Good Evening or could be morning depending where you are in the world!  The team have chosen and we have a tie break!  Beautiful entries girls and hope you join in our next challenge.

Gothic Angel creation from Lisa J coloured in promarkers with a handmade brushos background that looks like fiery lava.  Well Done Lisa, please grab your 1st Place badge x

We have ties for silver 2nd position this month!  First up is Dora who has produced this gorgeous mermaid with a stunning background and cute side embellishment.

Also in 2nd place is Joan also opting for a mermaid.  I love the little detail embellishments on this one.

And finally another silver 2nd goes to Lisa again with a fab vampire notebook coloured with promarkers

And finally in Bronze 3rd place we have Lisa with a real cutie Christmas CAS which is something I always get carried away with so never ends up being CAS!

Well Done ladies, please grab your badges above and please do enter into our next challenge x 

August Challenge #2 - Anything (Fantasy) Goes sponsored by Crafts & Me

Good Morning all, gosh that month flew by!  I hope you're all enjoying your summer breaks.  I've been rooting through stash, I moved nearly 3 years ago and still haven't unpacked a lot of my craft stuff as I was working over an hour away so just never got the time however working more local now I can get things out and tinker so just wanted to get organised.  It's amazing the things you find you completely forgot you had isn't it!  I can't find my alcohol inks though, I put them in a plastic box in case they leaked when we moved but can't remember where ha!  They might be cleverly hidden under a box of paper offcuts (yes I have a box!) but other than that I really have no idea lol!

My daughter has been playing alongside me too so I think she might join the design team at some point as she's getting good!  We've been painting pebbles, making play doh, colouring and painting away.  I hope you all get a bit of time to go through some stash and amaze yourself at the things you forgot you had and CHALLENGE YOURSELF to actually use them.  Please show us the results, we'd love to see them!

Anyway thank you so much for entering our 1st challenge, we'll be back later with winners.  A little bit quiet but hey we've all got to start somewhere but sincerely Thank You x

Our next challenge is sponsored by the awesome CRAFTS & ME.  Teresa has kindly offered a £10 digi voucher to her amazing store.  If you've never been what are you waiting for?  Its fantasy HEAVEN!  There are such amazing artists there including Hannah Lynn, Jeremiah Ketner and Sara Burrier who produce such beautiful images to colour.  Us girls have had so much fun this month so lets get on and show you our stuff!

The challenge is Anything Goes again so long as it's FANTASY THEMED.

Fantasy Crafters Challenge 1 - Anything Goes Fantasy

Good Morning!! Well the day has finally arrived & the team are very excited to be opening our new challenge blog here at Fantasy Crafters!
You've had chance to meet us all and I hope we provide you with some inspiration, we have a diverse team to suit most tastes and above all we hope you enjoy visiting us and taking part in the monthly challenges.


So what are we about?  In a word, Fantasy!  We have very few rules here but the main one is that your entry has to be fantasy related.

Fantasy aka Make believe can be a wide variety of depictions such as Unicorns, Fairies, Pixies and mermaids as favoured by several of the Teamies or you can go for the darker elements favoured by Teamie Michelle and enter Dragons, Witches, Ghosts and Vampires.  This also includes works known as Fantasy Scapes because I particularly LOVE looking at these!
Screenshots of Pokemon Go won't count though haha!

Items can be fully handcrafted, hybrid or fully digital and can be anything your little heart desires to make including scrapbooks like Teamie Tracey, Cards, ATC's, altered tin cans, whatever you like.

You can combine your entry with as many other challenges as you like *but* usual rules apply that it must not be posted prior to the start of our challenge.

Some months we will be sponsored and have prizes, others we will not so that the team can freestyle!  We will have a monthly top 3 chosen by the team and highly commended awards.  You may even feature in a mid way spotlight.

So now to introduce our 1st Challenge which is Anything Goes (Fantasy themed of course!) and here's the girls x

Introducing the team 5

Hello again!  And we have another new teamie to introduce and that is...

Tracey!

Hello my name is Tracey Campbell and I am from New South Wales in Australia. I am an obsessed scrapbooker who loves to share my designs with everyone who will give me five minutes to show them to. Lucky for me I have a very understanding husband who has his own hobbies and two beautiful but cheeky daughters. I love anything and everything fantasy so I can not wait to share my Fantasy Crafters Creations with you. 

Welcome Tracey x 

Introducing the team 4

And we're back again with our 4th team member and that is....

Michelle!

Hi! I'm Michelle (catzncards) and I'm a 47 year old disabled lone parent and live with my 12 year old son and two crazy cats in Surrey, England. I've been crafting seriously for a couple of years, when was introduced to card making. This quickly led on to other mostly paper based creations, including pocket letters and altered art. I've recently started creating an art journal which I find extremely enjoyable. My favourite genres are fantasy, gothic, steam punk and abstract. I enjoy working in a variety of mediums and I am a collector of random junk to add to my art. This is my fourth DT I work in and really enjoy creating projects for them.

Welcome Michelle x
