CRAFTING FOR ALL SEASONS #121

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at
CRAFTING FOR ALL SEASONS
The theme is
3 OF A KIND

And our lovely sponsor is...
SCRAPPERS DELIGHT

Here is my inspiration card

I made a crossover card using a tutorial from TERESA ALLDAY
Many thanks to Teresa for sharing her creation and allowing me to use my card.
If you would like to try making a card like this please do go to Teresa's blog and follow her tutorial.

I cut out the base card and used some lovely papers from my stash to cover it.
I cut out three pictures of vinatge ladies and backed them with some plain white card to strengthen them. I put some narrow lace along the edge of both sides of the crossover and then adhered some flatback fancy pearl embellishment on top of the lace.
I placed some co-ordinating flowers from my stash on the left side front and used some die cut leaves and butterflies to decorate around the flowers.
I used a small 'For You' sentiment from my stash also.
Finally I placed the three ladies into the pocket of the card.
And thats it!
A quick and easy card but very effective.

I hope you like what I did and it will maybe inspire you to enter our challenge...I do hope so.
Please visit our other DT members too and see what they came up.

Petal Lu Challenge #10 - Anything Goes

LETS CRAFT & CREATE #110

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at 

LACE & PEARLS

Here is my inspiration card

I used a 6x6 base card to start with and covered the front in a pretty floral patterned paper from FIRST EDITION BELLA ROSE paper pad. Love these papers. This one has a pearl sheen to it, very pretty.
I used two shades of pink to make two layers, one just a strip approximately 3.5ins wide, the other a square measuring approximately 5x4.5. Instead of cutting these I just ripped them to make a 'ragged' edge, making it look more 'shabby'
I wrapped a piece of Guipure lace around these two pices and adhered it to the back before adhering them to the front of the card. Across the top of this lace I placed another piece of lace, this one being finer, and placed it across the front adhering across the top. It overlaps the guipure lace.
In the top right corner I placed a white resin heart embellishment from PRIMA.
I love decorative chipboards...and I used an intricate detail border, and a small lace doily..I placed these just above the lace.
I 'fussy cut' a pretty frame picture which came with some papers in my stash, I placed it at a slight angle over the doily and border.
At the left edge I placed some flowers in shades of pink/red that were in my stash and purchased from PETAL LU. I used a few green leaves also. I put two pearl stick pins at the top of the flowers too.
To the right of the frame I added a tag, again from a paper pack in my stash, and placed a pink bow at the top.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES #12

Hello!
Its been a busy week with new challenges starting.

And another new challenge starts today over at

(was 2CRAFTY GIRLS)

The theme is
FANTASY

And our lovely sponsor is...
A DAY FOR DAISIES
and the prize is
3 SINGLE DIGI IMAGES

So here is my inspiration card....
I made a CAS card this time as I felt the image did not need anything that was over the top.

I used the image A SPECIAL STAR

which can be purchased HERE

I coloured the image using Copics markers.

(One day I will remember to make note of colours)

I cut a 6x6 base card and layered the front with a 6x6 mat in dark blue...
 to give the effect of a night sky. I used card I already had in my stash.

I made a small sentiment, 'WISH UPON A STAR' on white card, which I printed and cut out using my SILHOUETTE CAMEO.
I put it on to a piece of the dark blue card and placed it using small foam pads in the top left corner. I put the tiny star that was part of the image in the bottom left corner of the sentiment.
I put a smaller sentiment in the bottom right corner.
I put a few dots of silver glitter glue here and there to give the effect of stars.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

OUR CRAFTY CORNER #6

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at OUR CRAFTY CORNER.

And our lovely sponsor is...

MY STITCH BACK IN TWINE

Here is my inspiration card

I used the image NURSE DARCEE

which can be purchased from My Stitch Back In Twine.

So I made this using an A4 sheet of card which I cut in half long ways making a C6 top opening card.

I cut a piece of patterned paper same size as front of card and used DS sticky tape to place it.

I cut another piece, slightly smaller in a nice stripey nurse type paper.

I coloured the image using Copics and Spectrum Noir markers.

(One day I will remember to make note of colours)

I cut out a square around her and just left the background as is.

I used DS foam pads to place the image in the centre front.

In the bottom left corner I placed a small 'Get Well' sentiment.

And thats my DT card for this time.

I hope you like it and it will give you some inspiration.

CHALLENGE #3

Theme for this challenge is

ANYTHING GOES - SOMETHING WITH WINGS

Our sponsors are

A DAY FOR DAISIES

and

MORGANS ARTWORLD

Thank you very much to our sponsors once again.

And here is my half-way inspiration post.

This is what I created using

SMALL FRIEND from  A DAY FOR DAISIES.

I coloured the image using

COPIC SKETCH MARKERS & SPECTRUM NOIR MARKERS.

I started of with a silver pearlescent base card.

I matted and layered with 2 shades of a blue/grey card from my 'bit box'.

I glued the two mats together then wrapped some silver grey ribbon around the two mats and stuck it down on the underside.

I added a small bow to the left side of the ribbon.

I used a strip of pretty flowered paper also from my 'bit box' to put a strip down the right side and placed the image in the middle of the card, stuck on using 3D foam pads.

In the top left corner I placed one blue flower with two green leaves and in the bottom right corner I placed a 'Happy Birthday' sentiment from stash.

I hope you like what I did and will gain some inspiration from it.

There iss till plenty of time to join our challenge so come along and join in the fun.

We loook forward to seeing all your creations!

JADE'S SPARKLING BUTTERFLIES #11

CHALLENGE #11

ADD A TAG TO YOUR CARD/PROJECT

Our sponsor for this challenge is

THE STAMPING BOUTIQUE
And the prize is...
3 SINGLE DIGI IMAGES

I chose to use the image DOLL WITH HEART 

This is what I came up with....

I use a red base card approx 5x7" and mat and layered it with 2 pices of card, one in red paper the other with a flourish frame print. Both from the PION DESIGN new paper FOR MY VALENTINE.

I took a verse and a tag from the same pad and placed one in the top left corner, the other in the top right corner. At the top of the tag I placed some red flowers from PETAL LU and made a bow from some red jute twine. I then made a triple bow from some really pretty red ribbon and placed it between the verse card and the coloured image in the bottom right corner which I put at a slight angle.

The image was coloured using SPECTRUM NOIR markers.

Hope you like my little card and will gain some inspiration from it.

Please do visit our other DT members blogs for more inspiration.

Thank you for visiting today.

Have a lovely day and happy crafting!
