One Stitch at a Time - Challenge 23

I made this card for my parents' wedding anniversary this past weekend -it's a bit different for me because there's no stamping involved!

I've used black and white decoupage which has feint silver lines in it - hard to pick up on the photo but they look much better ' in the real'. I've layered the design up using black and silver pearl paper and added a peel off greeting on the base of the easel as the 'stopper'.

The theme for challenge 23 on One Stitch at a Time is black and white plus one other colour so I'm entering this card.

Christmas in July!

This card is for two challenges:

Anya Ink - Christmas in July

Anyone for Anya - Be Dazzled

The image is of course from The Greetings Farm and I've used Stickles on the hem of her coat and muffler. I've also added little clear gems to the centres of some of the snowflakes on the background paper. I've finished the card with a greeting from Craftwork Cards.

A Gem of a Challenge - Challenge 6

Here's my entry for Challenge 6 on A Gem of a Challenge which was a sketch challenge.

My image is from Pink Gem and my background papers from My Minds Eye. I've used some paper flowers (also from the Pink Gem site) which I've coloured with Promarkers and some Card Candy and a greeting, both from Craftwork Cards, to finish the design.

Cute Card Thursday Challenge 121 - Get a Head Start!

The challenge this week on Cute Card Thursday is to get a head start on making your Christmas cards!

I've made a die cut card for a change using the Bambino cutting die from Little Claire Designs. He's cut from Bazzill cardstock and I've stuck black peel off dots on the back of each die cut to give him black markings.

I've layered the white panel onto green Bazzill card and then onto tartan paper and green Bazzill again and added a Little Claire Designs peel off greeting and some green Nailhead stick on gems.

Dottie the Dalmation

This card was made using "Dottie's Slipper" from Little Claire Designs - I die cut the image using the largest cutting die from their Squirly Frame #2 set and then layered it on to pink and black cardstock. The image was coloured with Promarkers.

The paper I've used is from Craft Creations and I've added some punched flowers, peel off dots and some punched dots to finish off the card.

I'm entering the card into three challenges:

Moving Along With the Times - challenge #55 which is a sketch plus an animal theme

Passion for Promarkers - week 60 - animals

Pollycraft - challenge #52 - bold and bright

Corrosive Challenge #72

This is my entry for the current sketch challenge on The Corrosive Challenge Blog using a floral design from Aspects of Design (The Stampman). I've Cuttlebugged the panel at the side of the card and layered it all with blue and navy card.

The strip along the front of the base was punched with a Martha Stewart punch and I've added a greeting stamped from a set by Personal Impressions.
