card i made for a swap

here is a card i made for a swap- thanks sarah for taking the pic- will get round to taking one of yours (even though you remembered to!). the challenge was tri fold. i also made a trial 1- must find that and put it up!

several challenges

here is my entry for several challenges

the papertake weekly challenge, which this week was a sketch,

the forever friends challenge, which this week was to use brads or eyelets,

the pink elephant challenge, which this week was to follow a recipe ( which slightly altered as i didn't the right coloured green ribbon, so i made a fake ribbon- is that allowed?)

the one stop craft challenge, which this week was cute and cuddly.

I have used some papers that were in my collection, some gold shiny card, red brads, and a forever friends glittery sticker and greeting. i then use a gold card as my base.

the kindness of rainmac

here is a photo of all the stamped images rainmac sent to me as i'm unable to stamp very well at the moment. and the cute little holder as well that they came in. this is just to say a huge

THANK YOU

to her for them. and the little t bag holder she sent with the tri fold card swap.

moving along with the times challenge

this i a card i made for the moving along with the times challenge. this time it was a sketch, that i rotated through 90 degrees. there was also an optional theme of flower power. this card is for my niece who bought us a little ornament to remember our trip to see them. the card is from a christmas pack, i dry embossed this using fiskars texturising plates. the green card is coredinations. the brads are from paperchase. the stamp is from the daisy and dandelion range. i stamped it brown and clear embossed it. i then chalked red into the flower and heart and also used green chalk around the edge. the letters are some foam letters i think from papermania.

random challenge card

this card was made for a challenge but then my computer crashed and i now can't remeber the name of the blog! it is also for my friend as a new home card.

the gold card is from a set i bought for christmas. the brown papers are from claire curds papers. the flower i coloured brown to match. the pale card is packaging from daisy and dandelion. i hated making his card but wantedit to coordinate with their living room which is brown. it turns out i don't have much brown in my supplies- so it's on the shopping list for harrogate craft show!

inspirational card sketches challenge

here is a card i made for inspirational card sketches. sorry about the flash reflecting off the mirri board!

The backing paper is from DCWV's rose tinted christmas multistack. the mirri board came in a docrafts goody bag along with the pink card ( i wish i know what that was!). the red card is just some i had in. the greeting is a £1 stamp from the range stamped in silver and then glitter embossed. the gingerbread men were stamped by my husband for me in brown and then clear embossed and cut out. i then added some red glitter to their buttons.
