Speedy Recovery Rabbit

 This card is from the 30 Minute Card Making Stash and Dash. 

The parameters for this challenge were as follows: Type of card: 5x7, Colour(s): rainbow, Embellishment: crafter's choice, Technique: fussy cutting and Occasion: thank you OR get well soon. 

I die cut a large rainbow to fit on a 5x7 card. The images were stamped, coloured and die cut and I fussy cut the three crumpled tissues. The scene was arranged under the rainbow and I stamped a sentiment at the bottom. The card front was adhered to a black mat and then a white card base. I used a clear shimmer brush to add some shimmer to the rainbow pieces.

CD 633 - Split Floral Card

 Welcome to Colour Dare Challenge 633!

The graphic is below - choose ONE colour from each section. 

I chose the middle colour from each section. The floral image was die cut using three colours of cardstock and inked for dimension. I embossed a piece of white cardstock and trimmed it on an angle. That was adhered to piece of grey cardstock and the floral image was placed across the divide. I embossed a sentiment on black cardstock and placed it at the top. Some iridescent gems were added around the flowers.

MTTCC 103 - Holiday Wishes Tree Card

Welcome to My Time to Craft Christmas Challenge 103!

The theme for this challenge is to make a tree shaped card.

I embossed a tree in white (on white cardstock) and ink blended colour from turquoise to dark green over the embossed image. That piece was die cut and I cut three more blank tree pieces. The pieces were each doubled up for strength and then turned into a tree shaped card with the hinge at the top. I embossed two sentiments and adhered them across the tree. The last step was to add three shades of Liquid Pearls (red, gold and white) to the berries.

PCC 226 - Penguin Trio

 Welcome to Pattie's Creations Challenge 226!

This is a new design team for me and I am so happy to be here!

This is always an anything goes challenge but either a stamped or digital image is required. 

Digital images are very new to me - this is one from Pattie's Creations Digital Images on Etsy. I printed the penguins, coloured them with Copic markers and fussy cut them. The Northern Lights background was created using a variety of Distress Oxide inks and I splattered that with white paint to look like snow. I die cut a hill from white glitter foam and adhered that at the bottom. The penguins were adhered with foam tape and I added a sentiment at the bottom. Some iridescent gems were placed around the sky.

Sunflower Card Set

 I love the sunflower die and stencil set from Waffle Flower so I die cut a whole bunch of images and have been working on stencilling them at the crops I attend. 

I chose four colour schemes and adhered the final stencilled images to white card bases. The Hello sentiments were die cut from brown cardstock with a vellum shadow and I stamped a variety of smaller sentiments in shades of green. I have made four sets of eight cards each thus far and have more in progress. I put two of each colour into each set.

PS Jan Challenge - Tiny Flowers

 Welcome to Pearly Sparkles and our January challenge!

The theme for this challenge is "something old, something new". 

I chose an old embossing folder and a new set of dies for my card. 

The brick background was embossed on light grey cardstock and I lightly dragged a grey ink pad over the top to enhance the pattern. I blended shades of pink and purple on white cardstock and die cut the flowers from that piece. The other pieces were die cut from white and green cardstock. I arranged the flowers so the stems would meet near the bottom and the bow was added there. A heat embossed sentiment was placed off to the right side and I used iridescent Stickles in the centres of the flowers.
