Holiday Earrings

Been busy this week and haven't made any cards but thought I would just show you a few earrings I have made for my holiday.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge 61

Today's card is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge which this week is Black, White and Silhouette. The card and backing papers are from Kanban and Red Hot Bed. The stamp is from a clear set I have but I can't remember the make. I stamped with Versamark Onyx Black and clear ep. I added a piece of black lace, Prima flowers, adhesive stone, some corners and a greeting.

Stamp With Fun Challenge 7

I have made this card for the Stamp with Fun Challenge which this week is Shabby/Vintage. The only stamp I thought of as vintage was this one which is actually a Christmas stamp, it is from Personal Impressions and I stamped it in Versafine Vintage Sepia and lightly coloured just the ribbons and shoes, I tore the edges and colured with Distress Inks Antique Linen and Vintage Photo. The backing papers were 7 Gypsies and K and Co. I added Prima flowers and brads, punched branches, lace and pearls.

Blue Oriental Tag

Dragonsdream Challenge this week is for an Oriental blue tag. I stamped the background with a bamboo stamp in Versamark Atlantic Blue. The lady is stamped in Versafine Onxy Black and coloured with a mixture of Sakura and Whispers pens, I added three flowers and a small fan and writing which I found on a Meryle Holland sheet, and finished with a blue ribbon.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

Penny Black Challenge this week is a recipe - 3 flowers, 2 papers and 1 charm/brad. I used Sakura Gelly Glaze Orange to colour my image, not a colour I use often but thought it would go with the papers, which were from Bo Bunny and s.e.i. I layered my three flowers together - two from Prima and one in the centre unknown from my stash with the branch behind punched with Leone Em punch. I added a metal butterfly on ribbon and a sentiment to finish.

Pretty in Pink

My second card today is for the Sugar Bowl Challenge which this week was a sketch and to add buttons. My stamp is "Demure" coloured with Sakura, Tombow and Whispers pens then sprayed with Silver Spray and Sparkle from Crafters Companion. The backing papers are from Basic Grey and Hot off the Press. The flowers are Prima with a brad in the centre and I added three pink buttons.

Lady in Lilac

This is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge, a card 4 x 4 inches and include some eyes was this week's challenge. The image was from a decoupage sheet to which I added a small feather and adhesive stone. The papers were from my stash and one was from a magazine, I finished with a flower, pearl and ribbon. The light today is not very good and consquently the photo has not come out well.

A Hint of Pink

The Penny Black Challenge this week is to use Black, White and one other colour so I decided on pink for mine. I love monochrome so really enjoyed making this card. I coloured my Penny Black stamp with Whispers Strokes and layered onto card with brads. The card was all from Kanban, I added two rows of lace cut with the Martha Stewart punch, added some flowers which I think were Flora Doodles and used my new Leone Em Ash Branch punch to add a few branches behind the flowers. Finished with a sentiment and a black adhesive stone in the flowers.

Charisma Cardz Challenge 18

Charisma Cards Challenge this week is a sketch, which hopefully I have followed. The papers are Bo Bunny, stamp is Sugar Nellie coloured with Tombow pens and Sakura Glaze pens, oval cut with nestibilities and edged with distress ink pad Fired Brick, finished with a ribbon, red pearls and a computer generated sentiment.

Framed Butterfly

Rainbow Lady's Challenge this week is to use a frame on your card. My frame is an Inkadinkado stamp, coloured with Whispers Strokes, I have put some Prima flowers with pearls and a butterfly from a Meryl Holland sheet in the centre. The background papers are both small pieces from my stash, I used a Fiskars border punch to create the lace background and finished with a sentiment.

Fairies at the Bottom of the Garden

Tag made for Tag it on Challenge at DragonsDream. Background made by sponging Cosmic Shimmers, stamp from Dovecraft with a little Stickles Stardust on edges. Added small flowers, adhesive stones and butterfly bead.

Pink Honeysuckle

The challenge this week at Stamp With Fun is to make a card 4" x 8". My stamp is from Lavinia Stamps, coloured with Tombow pens and then painted over the colour with Perfect Pearls - Pearl. The papers are Papermania and Making Memories. Finished with lace, ribbon, pearls, gold torn vellum scroll embellishment and sentiment.

Birthday Card for my Lovely Daughter

I have made this card for my daughter's birthday which is tomorrow, unfortunately she is not very well today the children have had "a bug" which she has now caught and is in bed, hopefully she will be better for her birthday.

The image is a Sugar Nellie Gorjuss Girls which I coloured with Tombow pens and Whispers strokes, edged with Antique Linen Distress Ink and added eyelets. The papers are Bo Bunny, Basic Grey and Little Yellow Bicycle. I made the side border with Martha Stewart's Doily punch and wrapped ribbon round. Finished with Prima Flowers with Pearls in the centre and a sentiment. Seems quite pale on the photo but is actually quite bright colours.

Thank You

The Charisma Cardz Challenge this week is to make anything with Thank You on the front, so I decided for a change to make a Pillow Box to put a gift in. I used an Anna Griffin template to cut the box out, I cut thank you on the Cuttlebug and went round each letter with a black pen to make it look like stitching. I finished with flowers, glitter butterflies and adhesive stones.

My Friend the Ladybird

I made this card for the Penny Black Challenge which was to have at least three shapes on your card, I also thought it would fit Rainbow Lady's Challenge which was Four Legged Friend. The stamp is Penny Black "Garden Gossip" coloured with Whispers Strokes and blended with a blender pen, the ladybird is coloured with Sakura Glaze. The background paper is a small piece left in my stash make unknown. I cut a heart from a piece of pearl paper which had been embossed on the Cuttlebug and edged with a silver peel off and added a sentiment and bow. I cut a scalloped circle with nestibilities and added some Flora Doodle flowers with a centre brad. I finished with some corners, a piece of beige lace and three blue buttons.

Good Enough to Eat

Truly Scrumptious challenge this week is a sketch with the theme "Good Enough to Eat". The stamp I used was from a "See D's" set, papers were from Basic Grey, G.C.D. and Daisy and Dandelion. I added Prima flowers with a pearl centre, ribbon and silver tag with sentiment. The photo didn't come out very well as the whole card looks very pale.

Summer Holiday

This card is for the Stamp with Fun challenge which this week is a sketch. The stamp I have had for a long time is from Creative Stamping, stamped with Onyx Black Versafine and embossed with clear ep, coloured with Sakura glaze pens and Whispers Strokes. The oval is cut with Nestabilities on the Cuttlebug and edged with Distress Ink Tattered Rose. The papers are all from a Making Memories Pad - Cheeky Collection Abby, the edging cut with the Martha Stewart Doily Punch. I added Prima flowers and a sentiment.
