The Flower Challenge - CASE

This months challenge over on The Flower Challenge the theme is 'CASE' which means Copy and Share Everything.  So basically taking inspiration from.

I've had dies since I first starting card making and never used them in this way.  You simply place the die cut back into the card, with a coloured background behind.  The piece I used was a background I made a while ago with Alcohol Inks.  I'm glad I finally got to use it.  The die is by Memory Box.

Winter Wonderland

This weeks challenge over on Winter Wonderland has just started and our theme is 'Embossing'.  Our sponsor is the fab Crafty Ribbons with a prize of a £10 voucher to spend in their online store. 

Here's my DT card.

Not a ProMarker in sight for this one.....  I embossed the background using a folder from Embossalicious.  I used a Memory Box die for the frame and a Marianne die for the buildings, and a Joy die for the snowflake borders.

I love this shape card but very rarely use it..... lol.

This weeks challenge over on I ♥ ProMarkers has just started and our theme is 'All Stitched Up'.  Our sponsor is Letraset with a prize of a pack of ProMarkers.

Here's my DT card.

I used a digi image by Sherri Baldy for this one, the first time I've used one of her Besties image.  They're so cute and fab to colour.  The BP is from Nitwits, I dragged my sewing machine out to do the stitching along each egde, the fence piece was cut on my Cameo and the leaf dies are a mix of Marianne and Memory Box dies. The doily die is by Cheery Lynn.

Winter Wonderland - One For The Boys

Time for a new challenge over on Winter Wonderland where the theme is 'One For The Boys', so we'd like to see a male figure on your Christmas cards for this one.

Here's my DT card.

I wanted a change from colouring so I dug out my Joanna Sheen CD's and found this image on the Vintage Christmas disc.  Now I'm not sure if this CD is still available as I've had it for quite a few years now.... lol.  The dies used are Spellbinders - border, poinsettia and ovals, Memory Box - gold swirly bits and Cheery Lynn for the sentiment.  I used an embossing folder by Couture Creations called Washed Away.

Just Inklined

Time for my 2nd DT card for Just Inklined and I've made another Christmas card, well I do have a lot to make.... lol, and I love making them.....

Now there are a few pics of this one, to show you the style of card, so please bear with me :-)

Closed view.....

A little peek.....

Closer view of the image.

And the corner detail.....

The papers are also from Just Inklined, gorgeous aren't they.  The corner is a Memory Box die, bauble die is by Spellbinders and the pearls are from Mei Flower, glitter from Debbi Moore Designs and I used promarkers to colour the image.

Week 42 at Polka Doodles

Time for Team B to host the challenge over at Polka Doodles and this weeks theme is 'Autumn'.  So we want to see some lovely rich Autumn colours, leaves and swirls on your work for this one.

Here's my DT card.

I used the Sundae of Seasons CD for this cards, so the image, BP and leaves all came from this CD.  The swirls were cut using a Memory Box die and the pearls are from Mei Flower.

Silver Wedding Anniversary Card

I was asked to make a Silver Wedding Anniversary card this week, so thought it was the ideal occasion for a white card, I love them!

I used silver card to matt and layer onto and also silver coloured pearls.  This was the first time I've done this kind of card, so make the mistake of embossing the card front first.... lol, so when I came to cut out the centre, it flattened the embossing slightly.  But it took me ages to do the embossing, so didn't want to do it again.  I used Spellbinders dies for the aperture, roses, sentiment and the fancy bits round the sentiment, and also the lattice.  I used memory box dies for the other flowers.  The sentiment is computer generated.

Hope the recipients like it!

Winter Wonderland - Ribbons & Lace

A new challenge has just started over on Winter Wonderland, our theme for this one is 'Ribbon & Lace' and our sponsor is Crafters Companion with a prize of a £10 gift voucher to spend in their online store, you'll be spoilt for choice!

Here's my DT card.

 I decided on a change for this one, not the usual coloured image.  I used a Memory Box snowflake die, cut out a few times.  I also cut one out and cut it up for the corners.  I used a Cuttlebug folder to create the embossed panel, the ribbon and lace are from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

A closer look at the snowflake.  The glitter is, as usual, chameleon glitter from Debbi Moore Designs.
