A card for Crafty Ann's Challenge Number One which is "Celebrate". On the day the challenge started it was my youngest granddaughter's first birthday so I thought my card would fit the challenge. The stamps used were all from Penny Black stamped onto shapes cut with Nestabilities and coloured with Copics. The paper was from Daisy Bucket and the tag was cut with Shapeabilities with a computer generated sentiment and ribbon threaded through. I added a peel off number 1 and alphabets to add the name.
My card today is for three challenges (never managed three before). The sketch is from MojoMonday, at Anyone for Anya the theme is Patriotic, use the colours of your national flag and at Simon Says make a Thanksgiving or Thank You card and hopefully this fits all three. The stamp I used was Dahlia from the Greeting Farm coloured with Copics, the papers are g.c.d. and Paper Adventures. The adhesive stones and flowers are from my stash, and I added a computer generated sentiment.
My card today is for the Sketch and Stash Challenge. The stamp is an Anya from the Greeting Farm, coloured with Copics, I stamped the background snowflakes in pink and blue they are from a set called "Simply Chic" which I have had since last year and never used, the sentiment is also from the same set. The pink snowflake paper is new and is from Bo Bunny other papers from my stash. I added a snowflake charm, ribbon and brads. Have had to mess around with the exposure and colour of the photo today as the weather has been awful all day and couldn't get a good photo.
A card today for two challenges which are both for white except for the image. The first is the Penny Black Saturday Challenge which is "White on White". I used PB stamp "Christmas Friends" coloured with Copics. I embossed on the Cuttlebug with the Snowflake embossing folder, die cut the swirl and embossed with the Swisss Dots folder and die cut the snowflakes with Shapeabilities. I added a white ribbon and white pearls. The second challenge I am entering is Colour Create Challenge which is "All White"
The theme this week at My Time to Craft Challenge is "So Many Scallops". For my DT card I used a Gorjuss Girl stamp from Sugar Nellie coloured with Copics and stamped onto card cut with Nestabilities. The orange backing papers, though not a colour I would normally use, are from Cosmo Cricket and I just couldn't resist buying these gorgeous double sided papers (I used both sides). My scallops were made with a Martha Stewart double scallop punch using both sides of the paper alternately. I added layers of flowers from my stash and added some pearls on wires which were the decorations on Christmas crackers we had last year (knew they would be useful when I kept them). The card was finished with a computer generated sentiment and some adhesives stones.
I made this card for a Golden Wedding a couple of weeks ago, but thought it would fit nicely into Rainbow Lady's Challenge this week which is "Anniversary". The stamp is an Anna Griffin Rose which I coloured with gold cosmic shimmer and Copics for the leaves, matted onto gold card with gold pearls at the corners. The paper is Papermania, the gold rings topper is from Kanban and the two small gold squares are A and M being their initials. The inside was lined with gold card which showed at the edge where I used the Martha Stewart Doily Lace punch on it. I added a ribbon and computer generated sentiment.
I wasn't quite sure what I was going to do when I read the Charisma Cardz Challenge this week - "No Backing Papers" hmmm, I put my thinking cap on and this is the card I came up with. I remembered I had bought this Magnolia swirly stamp and not yet used it, I stamped in Versafine Sepia, embossed and coloured the small leaves. The stamp is a Sugar Nellie Gorjuss Girls, stamped onto card cut with Nestabilities and coloured with Copics. The flowers are from Prima with spacers and pearls in the centres, I added ribbon, pearls and a dragonfly charm.
