Best Birthday Wishes

 
Hi

Here's a card that I've made for my MILs Birthday - it also fits into three of this weeks' challenges:

Simon Says - Animal Antics
Gingersnap Creations - Monochromatic
and
Stamp Something - A Sketch Challenge

Here's my card...

I used this super House Mouse Stamp "Birthday Cupcake" which I stamped using Mediterranean Blue Brilliance Ink and water brushed it slightly to soften the lines.

The flower in the bottom left corner is a Camelot Rose by Prima - isn't it beautiful, I love these. The other roses are from my stash.

I turned the sketch and made this as an Easel Card, I love these cards (as you've probably noticed LOL!!).  I've put my sentiment on the base of the card and framed it using an adhesive chipboard frame from K&Cos Blue Awning range.  The papers are also by K&Co from the same range.

Anyway, thanks for stopping by.
Hope you like it.

Nutty Nutshells Challenge GDT Card

 
Hi

It's Wednesday again and over at Nutshells it's time for another Nuttty Nutshells Challenge.

This week, since it's nearly Thanksgiving, the challenge is to make a Thankful/Thank You card.

There's a great prize on offer this week - TWO Harriet Hurst Stamps !!!

Time for Tea

Reach for the Stars

Here's my card:

I used one of the images from the Nutcrafters Pink Frosting Breast Cancer Awareness Digi Stamp Set, which is available HERE.

The papers are from the MME Wild Asparagus Stack and I used Martha Stewart's Doily Lace Punch down the edge.  The flowers are by Prima. The roses, ribbon, pearls and sentiment were all from my stash. 

So, hop on over the Nutshells Blog and see what the rest of the Design Team have come up with, you'll find lots of inspiration over there!!

Don't worry if you haven't got any Nutshell's Stamps, you can enter the challenge using any of the stamps that Nutcrafter's carry in their store. 

Thanks for stopping by today.

Butterfly Fairy

  
Hi

Over at Paper Craft Planet Michelle Perkett's Studio has a great challenge...

Challenge #4 - Your Creative Goddessness :)

... to make a card or project that really portrays who YOU are as a Creative Goddess... are you buttons and bling? or flowers and filly? or clean and simple? Use one of Michelle's images that closest represents you as a Creative Goddess.


I've used The Butterfly Fairy and embellished my card with flowers, ribbons, pearls and butterflies!!!

I coloured the fairy with my Copic Markers and used a Sakura Clear Glitter Pen for her wings.
I distressed the edge with Tim Holtz Distress Inks.

I cut the butterflies using my Silhouette.
The flowers, pearls and ribbon are from my stash.

Michelle asked us to give a reason for our choice of "Inner Goddess Image".  I chose the Butterfly Fairy because...


...As I grow older I watch my family grow with me. The life changing experiences of marriage and childbirth correspond with the major transformation that the butterfly undergoes as it emerges from its chrysalis. We emerge with a new found strength and freedom to explore, whilst still maintaining a very delicate and fragile existence. Day to day our emotions rise and fall, as the butterfly rises and falls on the breezes that carry it through life.

This card also fits in with the challenge over at Cupcake Craft Challenges which is to use a Digital image.

Thanks for stopping by today.

Hope you like it.

A Christmas Angel

  
There is a new release of Digi Stamps over at Nutcrafters.  They are the Nutshells Christmas Angels and they are so pretty.

Here's a card I made using one of the super cute images:

Front view...

I coloured the image using my Copic Markers and Sakura Glitter and Metallic Pens.

The papers are from my computer.
The snowflakes are cut using my Silhouette.  I then made them sparkle using Twinklets Glass Glitter. 

The flower, ribbon, gem, brads and snowflake buttons are all from my stash.

This card fits in perfectly for the challenge over at Papertake Weekly, which this week is Digi Sparkles.

Don't forget the challenge over at the Nutshells Blog too, there's still plenty of time to enter and they have a fabulous prize on offer of two Nutshells Stamps.  So what are you waiting for, head off to Nutshells today and take a look !!!!  

Thanks for stopping by today.
