Daisies

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a good weekend.  My card today was inspired by the theme of Daisies at The Card Concept (Clean and Layered style).

I've used stitched die-cuts and a stencil to create the background for the sentiment.

Golden butterflies

Hello everyone, I hope you're having a good weekend.

Here is a card I've made today using the Butterfly Birthday stamp set from Happy Little Stampers. To make my card, I used one of my favourite diecuts as a background, stamped the butterflies, used glue pen to add gold foil and stamped the sentiment.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Time Out - 'Friendship is Golden'

House of Cards - Metallic

Seize the Birthday - Anything Goes w/optional topping of Anything That Flies

Enjoy the rest of your weekend and thank you for taking the time to visit my blog!

Addicted to Stamps and More #131 - Anything Goes

Hello crafting friends, I hope you're well and having a good week!

It's time to start a new challenge at Addicted to Stamps and More and this week it's Anything Goes.

Our fabulous sponsor is Sweet Pea Stamps and our winner will receive a prize of 4 digis from their store!

I wasn't going to make any more "love" cards as I've made a few already, but when I saw Kylie's beautiful card which we are invited to CASE (with a twist) at Time Out, and the colours and roses at The Card Concept (Romantic Roses), it seemed a good opportunity to use my cute little foxes stamp again.

For my "twist" on Kylie's card, I stencilled onto the card blank with texture sparkle medium.  The little tags and flowers are die-cuts, and the foxes were stamped with black Memento and coloured with Promarkers.

Will also be linking up to House of Cards, where the theme is LOVE.

 

There's beautiful inspiration from the our Guest Designer, Janine at Sweet Pea and from the Design Team ladies over at the ATSM challenge blog, so do be sure to wander over and have a look. We hope you're inspired to join in the fun and look forward to seeing your creations and visiting your blogs.

Have a great rest of the week! xx

A little garden ...

"A little garden in which to walk,

For House of Cards: shabby and vintage with sketch.

Butterfly dies by Sizzix, bunting die by Simon Says, leafy scroll stamp by Dawn Bibby Designs.

House of Cards and FBW#249

Hi everyone, hope you're having a great weekend!

I've made this for House of Cards month 2: use sketch - Classic and Elegant. Just scraped in near the deadline but I really wanted to do the whole month.  Here's the sketch.

Would also like to enter this at Flutter By Wednesday: wet or dry embossing.

The card was difficult to photograph well and I was a bit worried that the sentiment being stamped in a light colour was a little hard to read but I wanted to keep the whole thing quite subtle. The oval die cut was inked with a little lavender TH distress ink which was also used to stamp the sentiment and I added two pearls.

Embossing folder and butterfly die by Sizzix, oval and sentiment die cuts by Spellbinders, stamps by Waltzing Mouse.

Thanks for looking!

House of Cards Month 2 and ABC39

Hi again, everyone!  I've made this for House of Cards: cute and fun using sketch and ABC Challenges: monochromatic.

This is my first entry for House of Cards, a lovely new challenge which started last month. Every month there is a new colour palette or sketch provided with the opportunity to make a card each week of the month in a different style such as elegant, cute and fun, vintage based on those colours or sketch. This week it's cute and fun and here's the sketch.

I thought it would be fun to make a card using the PTI Flippin' Out stamps and dies.

Thanks for stopping by today! Have a nice evening.
