simon says challenge


here is a card for my male cousin who will be turning 13. he is a liverpool fan, hence the colour scheme!
the red card is just some that i have lying around. the football paper is from the male forever friends paper pack. the black card was just lying around as was the wavy card. the main image is a papernations die cut decoupage. and i stamped happy birthday and cut it in half.
i have noticed that it is a bit wonky and will go and correct that now!
i really liked this sketch as it was simple but still effective.

random cards

sweet stop sketch saturday




here are 2 cards i made for this challenge. they are for 2 friends who helped me do the refreshments for our schools play. the papers are from claire curds big one, and the stamp is a 'magic' magnolia. the lilac card is some i have had in for ages, and the yellow paper is from do craft may goody bag. the card the pictures and sentiment are on are from packaging or an old birthday card. i dry embossed the sentiment, oh and coloured the images with watercolour pencil crayons. the colour schemes are from the girls dress from prom on friday. if it's good enough for fashion it's good enough for me!

here is my card for the MSE forum challenge

the paper is from a a pack a bought last year. the stamp is from a foam set i bought in poundland last year as well. the ribbon is from the same set as the paper but i can't remember the name. i do know that is is really anita's from the range but can't remember which brand. i stamped in silver and embossed with clear glitter. oh and used some siler card behind the image. next time i'll use black card i think.
