Clare's Sketch/Colour Challenge..

My card for the new challenge blog dedicated to the Clare Curd Signature Range from Papermania. These are fabby stamps with gorgeous co-ordinated patterned papers.

Clare launched these new products last weekend and set a sketch and a colour challenge for us all :0)

The colour combo was turquoise, pink and black, a great mix for a striking card. I have used one of the stamps from the Stampin Chic Party range along with one from the sentiment pack. The papers are from the 'Big One'! and the paper flowers are from Papermania too. The embossed background is a sheet of the 'black magic' range embossed with a cuttlebug swiss dots folder.

2 in 1 challenge card!!

I'm back :0) I have been busy decorating after the pipe bursting episode!! and catching up with all the jobs I dont seem to get done when I'm busy crafting and blogging!!! All jobs done now so I managed to make this card this afternoon.

I have used the colour combo from the Colour Create challenge blog along with the option to use lace and pearls. I just love blue and brown together.

The layout is this week's sketch #5 from Sketch and Stash, the new stash being my newest stamp from Sugar Nellie available from Funkykits.

Papers are from a DCWV Spring Stack and the little felt flowers are from American Crafts.

I am hoping to have a full crafting day tomorrow :0) so I will have more cards to show soon!!

Sugar Bowl Challenge #4 - One

Challenge 4 over at the Sugar Bowl is 'One' - that's just one patterned paper to be used!!! I have used a sheet from a DCWV Pocket of Posies pad.

The dark cardstock is embossed with a Cuttlebug paisley embossing folder and sanded and I finished by adding some purple gems :0)
A simple layout but effective I hope!!

Life is like a Box of Chocolates!

I have'nt had much time for crafting this week as we've had visitors :0) and the spare room is my Craft Room!!

So I thought I share my designs using the yummy and aptly named February ScrapaGoGo Greetings kit - Life is like a Box of Chocolates, yum!

Fabulous papers this month from Sei, beautiful pinks and browns/greys and foiled too!! Mix that with gorgeous felt blooms, glass brads, ribbon etc. etc.... you get the idea :0)

The flower on the Wishing you a Happy Day card was made using an oval sentiment frame stamp which I stamped and embossed in white and layered to look like petals. The stamps are clear acrylic and can be bent into any shape :) so I made wavy sentiment stem for the flower.

Really enjoyed using this kit, hope you like the cards x

And the theme over at Cute Card Thursday today is 'Signs of Spring' so I thought this stamp would be perfect :0)

I have used Basic Grey Two Scoops paper, gorgeous spring colours and pretty spring flowers and ribbon! Image coloured using prisma's and sansador.

I have popped up the flowers and balloon on 3-d foam, not sure if it shows in the photo?
