OSAAT #155 - White on White OR No Designer Papers



The challenge over at One Stitch at a Time this week is White on White (or no designer papers). I made a birthday card for my friend so I hope she likes it. I used a large square card blank by Joanna Sheen. The embossed backing paper is made with a Crafters Companion Embossalicious folder.  The image I got to use this week is Butterfly Fields by Tami of Gingerloft over at Stitchybear Digital Stamp Store. There are two images in the set. After I'd decided which image to use I printed it on to paper and it looked quite stark against all the white. I printed it again, this time on vellum from Create and Craft, and it's much more muted and suited to the embellishments. I cut it with my Spellbinders grand oval nestie and matted it on to the embossed sheet. The butterflies are cut with Spellbinders dies and the leaves are cut with Memory box dies. The large butterfly is set in the centre of another Spellbinder shape, the butterfly small nestie. I'm on a roll because this is the third card in a row that I'm actually pleased with so things are looking up!

The sponsor is Stitchybear but please check out the challenge blog for full details of prizes.

Now that this card is about to be scheduled on my blog my friend's birthday has been and gone and she LOVED her card!

I'm entering my card in to the following challenges:
Artistic Impressions Challenge 32 - Flowers
Bunny Zoe's Monthly Challenge - Girly
My Grafico - Anything Goes
LEJ Designs - Things with Wings
Oldie but a Goodie Challenge - Feeling Floral with my oldie - butterfly die
Through the Craftroom Door - Anything Goes
Lady Anne's Challenge - Anything Goes
Flutter By Wednesday Challenge - Any winged creature
Happy Campers Challenge - Flutterby Butterfly



I notice that I've lost one of my followers. :(    I've had 151 for so long that I'd just become used to seeing the same number over and over again. Is it because my crafting has slowed down? I'm sorry that I'm not so prolific in my posts as I once was but I hope to get back into it at some point in the future. It's taking longer than I imagined but thank you to all my faithful followers who post on almost every card with some positive comment.

#138 Anything Goes




This image is from a set called Vintage Valentine and it's by Tami, Gingerloft, over at Stitchybear Digital Stamps Shop.

My team mate, Ali, chose this set of images for us to use for the One Stitch at a Time challenge with the theme of Anything Goes.

I used a Craft UK large scalloped card blank. The red card is from Papermill and the patterned paper is by Payper Box. I used a Spellbinders grand nestie to cut the patterned paper. There are three images in the Vintage Valentine set and I decided to use this heart image.The red heart is cut with a Memory Box die.The red organza ribbon is from Joanna Sheen and then I finished the card design off with some red Card Candi.
