Time for a new challenge at Whoopsi Daisy and this week we want to see your 'White On White' creations.

I have followed the interesting sketch but turned it first.  Having covered my base card with a plain panel of cardstock I then added an embossed layer followed by a die-cut panel which I added lace to.  The strip at the bottom has been punched and I added some sparkly organza and ric rac ribbon.  The image has been coloured with promarkers and I added star gems to the corners.  The scroll has been die-cut and I have added some satin daisies topped with gems.  Finally, a punched butterfly with pearls on the body.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Today I have made a one layer card by first stamping and heat embossing my image directly onto the base card.  I then coloured it using chalk, pencil and a touch of glitter glue.  I then added a sentiment and tied an organza ribbon along the fold.  Finally I added a butterfly charm that I made with friendly plastic.  Do you remember friendly plastic?  I don't think anyone uses it these days and not sure if you can still buy it.  I am pleased with how this one came out considering I was just playing around with a new stamp.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

Apologies for the late posting of this card.  I was out all day yesterday and too tired to do anything when I got home.

Time for a new challenge at Lili's Little Fairies and it's a nice easy one.  This week we want to see you use 'Spots And Stripes'.

I have made a boy's card following the great sketch and layered it using two papers from my lovely Nitwit papers called 'Bees Knees'.  The image has been coloured with promarkers and I have added diamond glaze to the puddle.  I also doodled the word ooops! onto it.  A stamped sentiment and a few gold star brads finishes the card.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

I have made a gift box this week using a die-cut of this sweet little bear and his balloons.  I decorated the box with layered panels of gingham paper.  On the lid I added a punched border topped with satin ribbon and a bow.  Once the image had been attached I finished it off with a peel-off sentiment and a couple of pearl hearts.  I wanted to keep this simple so it could be used for any occassion.  Hope you like it, thanks for looking.

This week I am lucky enough to be a GDT over at Forever Friends.  There is a great prize as they are being sponsored by Whoopsi Daisy.  The theme is 'Pastel Colours' so pop on over to the blog and see all the wonderful creations to inspire you.

I have kept to my all time favourite colour for my card.  Although I have followed the great sketch I did turn it first.  The embossed panel on the left has been distressed with ink and heat embossed with hologram EP.  The trellis has been die-cut.  The border has been punched and I added an embossed strip which I also distressed and heat sparkled.  The image is a pre-coloured one, isn't she gorgeous?  I then distressed the background with ink and ran a promarker around the edge before attaching with foam pads.  I have gone a bit overboard with the flowers but, what the heck!  The butterflies are peel-offs mounted onto parchment paper and embossed with gems added.  That's it, hope you like it, thanks for looking.
