The Pink Elephant (20) - Sketch

Stamp Something - Black/White/Other

Not much to say about this one except, when I was laying it up, I felt there was too much white card showing, so I drew some black lines on it to break it up a bit. The image has had red glitter glue added to it.

I can't believe I have just made my first Christmas card this year, and in June!!! To top it all, I have chosen to make it in very unconventional colours! Not much to say about this one except - I like it! Nearly forgot, Harry has been decoupaged, isn't he gorgeous, love the look on his face.

Penny Black (54) - Embossing

Daring Cardmakers - Miss You

What a lovely sketch and themes this week on these challenges. I had great fun creating this card as I have used metallic card/paper and done heat embossing, both of which I have not done or used for quite a while. The image was stamped using a friend's new stamp , thanks Alexis. I used a Versamark pen to heat emboss the flowers with different tinsel EPs. The hologram dots are peel-offs.

The Sugar Bowl Challenge (13)

This week's challenge is a great sketch and the colours brown and cream, and although I have altered the sketch a bit I hope this card is acceptable for entry. The parts I have altered are the small squares, replacing one with a flower and the other with a corner bookmark. I have coloured the image with Promarkers, MLP pens and chalks. The flowers/leaves are punched.

Yet another bright card! Not like me at all. Not too sure about the 'orange', think I should have picked one of the other colours. Anyway, I think it looks nice and 'Summery'. I think the flowers should be a bit more 'on the curve' but I did make this card at 4.30am this morning so I think I can be forgiven for a few mistakes. After a long day at work I have managed to have a little nap so hopefully the next card will be a bit better???

Simon Says (8) - Let's Celebrate

Here's another bright, colourful card. I don't do many brightly coloured ones but enjoyed doing this one. I cut a piece of purple card to cover the base card and covered part of it with the paper. I then cut a strip of yellow, punched ribbons into it and put it across the join. Then I cut two triangles and placed these on the bottom corners. The image is made up of Stickaroos and attached with foam pads. Altogether, a quick and easy card to make.

It's A Girl Thing...

Challenges

Lili of the Valley (30) - Paper Piecing

Creative Card Crew (15) - Black plus Other

This is another of Jak heath's gorgeous shoes. This time I have printed it twice, once onto white paper and once onto red paper, and then pieced the two together. I also printed the backing paper onto red paper but it looked too overpowering and dark so kept to the black and white. The decoration on the front of the shoe is a button with a gem in the centre. I coloured the flower to match with MLP pens and added a gem. I finished off with a ribbon and added another gem to the bow.
