A Vase Of Flowers

Hello Again

Today I'm back with my DT card for the new challenge at Cardz For Galz. This week we would like to see your 'Button and Bows' girly creations.

Another CAS design today, it seems to be my favorite style at the moment. The vase stamp is a very old Stampin Up stamp, that I have stamped in green in minus the flowers, that I have replaced with decorative buttons. I have hand sewn the buttons onto the card, before adding a co-ordinating bow and matting and layering with matching colours.

I hope this will inspire you to hop on over to the main blog, see the other DT creations and join in the fun.

I would like to enter my card in the following challenges;

Crafty Gals Corner - anything goes

Everybody Art Challenge - stamp

Retarte - anything goes

Artistic Inspirations - anything goes birthday

Craft-Dee BowZ - anything goes with a handmade bow

Muse - case Muse's card

Gardener Jim

Hello

Today's creation is for the new challenge over at Penny's Paper Crafty, and this time round we have a lovely easy 'Anything Goes' challenge. 

Our sponsors this week are Dr Digi and Karleigh Sue. I was lucky enough to be given a Dr Digi image to play with. I am going through a CAS phase at the moment, so I choose to colour just parts of the image with my ProMarkers, which I cut out, shaped and remounted onto another copy of the image. This made the adorable gardener 'pop' from the card - I really like this technique, and hope you do too.

Please hop on over to the main blog and check out the other DT creations, and join in the fun.

Mummy's Mummy

Hello

It's time for another new challenge at Cardz For Guyz (love this blog), and this time we would like to see your male orientated 'I Put A Spell On You' Halloween creations.

I had great fun making this card. The background was made using a Darice embossing folder. Once embossed, I ran a black pad over the raised areas to highlight the eyes, then I have used a purple ProMarker to colour in between. I have coloured the Mummy image, then cut it out and mounted it on foam pads to bring it forward. The card was finished with a sentiment and some googly eyes.

I hope you like my little creation.

Pink and Pearly

Hello Again

Today I'm back with my DT card for the new challenge at Cardz For Galz. This week we would like to see your 'Pink and Pearly' girly creations.

I must admit my card is cased from one I saw on Pintrest, but I fell in love with the trail of pearls and gems. The butterfly itself has been coloured with ProMarkers then encased in glamour dust to make the whole thing sparkle. I love the simplicity of the card overall, although sticking all the pearls and gems on took an absolute age lol.
