Lily Of The Valley

One of my many purchases at the NEC last week was 3 of the new Lily of the Valley stamps this is the first one I've inked up, I think these fairy designs are sooo sweet I love the shabby chic look about them., this is my first easel card, missed the challenge to enter it in (feather brain) never mind I still entered it into the following challenges: Lily of the valley criteria was a recipe of 3 papers,2 stamps and 1 type of embellishment (hope my different flowers count as 1 type),next challlenge is Friday Sketcher, as this was the sketch that I followed,Allsorts have the theme of 'Something for a child' well this is definately has little girl written all over it. Saturday Secret Crafter have the theme four seasons---think this fits the bill for Spring with the blossom.Cute Card Thursady have the theme of Glitter Me Silly.... now I know that there isn't a huge amount of glitter on there but the centres of the flowers and the surrounding area has been glittered with Stickles in gold and crystal.The design has been painted with Sakura Pens and the papers are K&Ko other bits are from stash........loving Sakura pens at the moment......lol

Monochrome Magnolia

This weeks theme at Magnolia is 'Monochrome' =shades of one colour plus white. I decided to go with the black and white as I've never done this combo before. The sketch I followed was over at 'Create 4 Fun', this card was also entered into the following challenges:
Daring Card Makers-need to use punches, part of the flowers layers are punched as is the sentiment.
Secret Crafter- Halloween
Magnolia Down Under-Distressing
Incy Wincy Designs- favourite embellishment......my fave is using flowers

Bright & Zingy

I hope this card fits the theme at Magnloia this week, its about as bright and zingy as I get. I followed the sketch from Sketch and Stash as it was a simple sketch but gave you the opportunity to jazz it up,the new stash I used for this was the flowers  the blue ones are from http://www.beecrafty.co.uk/ and the other two flowers are from Tabby Crafts .....loving these. My Time to Craft have a DT call and the criteria is quick and cute well I managed to complete this card in under 30mins, which is quick for me lol....

Birth Card for Saturday Secret Crafter Challenge

I followed the sketch from Mojo Monday and then developed the card into a birth celebration card

Snow Buddies

I've followed the sketch for this card from Mojo Monday's challenge, the greeting has been stamped onto acetate and then heat embossed with cosmic shimmer embossing powder, the background panels have been embossed with dots to represent snow. Over at ABC challenge the theme is embossing and My Time To Craft's challenge this week is the title  "Snow Buddies" so I've entered this card into all three challenges.

Joint Effort

The image has been coloured in with watercolour crayons by my daughter who pinched some of my stamped images that were waiting to be coloured (she calls it grownup colouring) so I pinched the coloured image back and made the card. I have entered it into the following challenges One Stop Craft Challenge as the theme was teddy bears, I followed the sketch from Everybody Art, I love this sketch and will definately be using it again and lastly I also entered it into Secret Crafter Challenge as it was entitled "one for the girls" very girly card with pink and lace and it was made by 2 girls lol........

Secret Crafter

Iv'e entered this card in Secret Crafter Challenge this week as the challenge is a card for  a teenage boy
