Tilda Stepper card

Good morning all,

 

I hope you are all having a good week. Today, i am here to let you know about this week's fab challenge over at Charisma Cardz.

 

This week the theme is SHAPED CARDS and there are not one, but two fabulous sponsors.

 

Joanna Sheen who is offering one lucky winner a £10 voucher.  With free p&p, this is a fabulous prize.

 

Simon Says Stamp are offering one lucky winner a $20 voucher. 

 

Here is my DT inspiration. This is the first time i have made this style of step card and i must say it is rather easy to do.  I will make it again but i will probably make the right hand sides different heights to give it better dimension.

Back to Basics III paper pack

Cheery Lynn corner dies, Tim Holtz Elegant Flourishes, Spellbinders Heart Circles & lacy ovals.

Magnolia Tilda

Paper & Such sentiment

I would like to enter my card into the following challenges:

I hope you will pop over and visit the gorgeous DT inspiration at  Charisma Cardz and it would be fantastic if you decided to join in with the challenge too.  Hope to see you there!

Thinking of You

Good evening all, hope you are all having a good day.  I went for a little walk today outside down by the marina. Making the most of the outdoors just now before it gets too hot. Anyway, enough of me, what about my cards? Well, today i have two cards to show you.  Both cards have been made using stamps and sentiments from the fab candy i won recently from the lovely Naomi.  The first one is a practice card, a CAS sympathy card using Prima Marketing Clear Stamps for the image and a Paper and Such sentiment.  The second card is a Paper and Such 'Better Poppies' clear stamp.  I stamped the image straight onto the card, then stamped another image onto cardstock, coloured it with Tim Holtz distress inks ( i cant live without these inks) and then paper pieced them.  The sentiment is also from the same Better Poppies set.  The border was made using an EK Success border punch and the edges were also distressed.  The ribbon was from my stash. What do you think?
