Basic Grey Challenge - Texture




I was asked to make a 60th card this week so I have incorporated this week's challenge over at Basic Grey Challenges of texture :0)


I have used this gorgeous cuttlebug embossing folder for my 'texture' and a SU stampset called 'Pocket Silhouettes'. The patterned paper is from the Sugared range from Basic Grey.
I added some bling to the embossed flowers and finished with a ribbon bow.


The 2nd card is just me playing with this stamp set ;0) Botanical Blooms from SU. One to go in my card box!!

Hoppy Easter!!


A fun card today :0) I have used the fabulous sketch #43 over at Sketch Saturday combined with today's theme at A Spoonfull of Sugar - 'Easter'.

I have had this image for a looong time, I received it a swap ages ago!!

I have coloured the image with prisma's and sansador and the flower paper is by American Crafts, not sure where the gingham is from?

The 'hoppy easter' sentiment is handwritten :0)

Just because...


A 'just because I wanted to play with this stamp set' card from me today!! It is called Botanical Blooms and it is from Stampin Up.

I love floral stamps :0) and these are no exception. I dont use all my floral stamps enough so thought I'd make a card!

Saying that not totally happy with it LOL! not sure on the layout or the OTT bow but I enjoyed making it so that's all that matters!!

Hope you like it :0)

CCSR - Limited Supplies challenge..


Clare's challenge this week over at the Stampin' Chic blog is 'limited supplies'! Only one piece of patterned paper to be used!!

Any theme as long as one of the supplies ie: stamps or paper is from the CCSR.

I have used a piece of patterned paper from 'the Big one', I love polka dot paper and teamed it with a gorjuss girl from Sugar Nellie coloured with promarkers. The sentiment is also CCSR and the ribbon and flowers are Docrafts.

I do love this colour combo, one of my favourites :0)

PBS #40 - A sketch..



I'm on a roll!! another challenge I've managed to do straight away :0) DH has taken DS for a bike ride and swimming!! so I get to spend some time in my craft room (mess!!)

I have used this week's sketch over at Penny Black Saturday by Tracie, another fabulous sketch which I will be keeping to use again!!

The stamp is called 'kickin', and I have coloured the image with prisma's and sansador. The papers are Making Memories - Olivia. The background panel looked a bit bare in just the plain green so I have embossed it top and bottom with one of the small Cuttlebug folders.

I have flipped the sketch so I could add the sentiment as this is for a crafty friends b-day next week :0)
