My card today is for Just Magnolia Challenge which this week is monochrome. I coloured my Magnolia Tilda stamp with various shades of blue Copics, the backing papers are also by Magnolia, I added some flowers from my stash, a ribbon, adhesive stones and a computer generated sentiment. I am also putting this card in the Papertake Weekly Challenge which is "Spots and Stripes".
My card today has been made using Martine's sketch for the Just Magnolia Challenge but hopefully with my pink and white daisies it qualifies for the challenge at Charisma Cardz which is "Delightful Daisies". I used a Magnolia Tilda stamp coloured with Copics, the papers were also from Magnolia - the "A Little Yummy for Your Tummy " collection. The ovals were cut using Nestibilities and I used a new Martha Stewart Lattice Arch punch. Finished with ribbon, button, pearls and computer generated sentiment.

The background papers are all from Daisy Bucket, I added three Prima flowers with a smaller flower and brad in the centre, a ribbon and finished with a computer generated sentiment.
Managed to make another Christmas card - getting there slowly but surely.

The large Poinsettia is from a kit I purchased from Squiggle Stamps, I added some gold branches punched with Leone Em punch and finished with a button and some gold braid. I also added a white ribbon, some adhesive stones and a computer generated greeting.

My card today is for the Papertake Weekly Challenge again another challenge I have not entered before. The challenge is a sketch which I thought would make a lovely Christmas card.

I sprayed some cream leaves with Forest Green Glimmer Mist and added them behind a Prima poinsettia. Finished off with a ribbon and sentiment.
I'm doing well this week with challenges today's is for Penny Black Saturday Challenge which is to use an Autumn stamp or Autumn colours. My Penny Black hedgie is coloured with copics and edged with leaf stamps from a tapestry stamp set and stamped with versacolours, I put this onto a torn piece of paper from Basic Grey Sugared. The background paper is from Bo Bunny which I liked so much I didn't want to cover it up so tried to leave as much as possible on view. The border was cut with a Martha Stewart scallop punch, I added three Prima flowers with tiny buttons and branches cut with the Leone Em punch. The sentiment "just a note" is another Penny Black stamp, stamped in Versafine Sepia.
For the Just Magnolia Challenge this week you had to use your own hand made flowers. My flowers were made using a die on my Cuttlebug the two flowers at the top were made by laying the die cuts and the flower at the bottom was made using the cut out petals from the die. I put jewellery spacers in the centre and an adhesive stone. The background paper was from my stash and I cut some new Magnolia paper with circle and scallop nestibilities and added my Magnolia image coloured with copics. I used Martha Stewart scallop punch for the centre border and added some buttons, a dragonfly charm and branches cut with my Leone Em punch. The sentiment was computer generated.
Another card today for a Challenge I have not entered before - My Time to Craft the challenge is "Snow Buddies". I used a snowmen stamp from Pink Gem Designs and masked them while I stamped the background trees which are by Lavinia stamps. I coloured the snowmen with copics and used glitter on them and the trees but it doesn't show well on the photo. The background papers are from the Daisy and Dandelion Christmas papers, I added a ribbon and sentiment.
My card today is for the Pink Elephant Challenge, one I have never entered before. The challenge this week is a recipe - something with dots, a punch and a tag.

The papers were Basic Grey Sugared and the dotty background one is from my stash. I punched a piece of the Basic Grey paper with a Martha Stewart border punch top and bottom of the strip and added three Prima flowers with pearl centres. The sentiment "for you" is a Penny Black stamp.
