CRAFTING FOR ALL SEASONS - CHALLENGE #128

Good morning!

A new challenge starts today over at
CRAFTING FOR ALL SEASONS
and this will be my last DT post.
Have loved being a part of this DT
but I want to concentrate on other things.

Our sponsor for this challenge is...
SPARKLE n SPRINKLE

and I chose the image
DANIELLE HAT LADY
which is available HERE

Here is my inspiration card

I coloured her with Copics.
I matted and layered the front of a 6x6 base card in blue flowery and a pearlescent card.
I wrapped some white lace and blue and white striped ribbon around the front of the mats then placed a bow in the centre in the same striped ribbon.
I used a sprig of blue paper roses with a small piece of the ribbon tied around them and placed it at the right hand side. Below that I placed a small sentiment.

And thats my DT card for this time.

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

CREATIVE CRAFT COTTAGE

The theme for the challenge is
3 OF A KIND
and I used
WAKING UP BIRDIE
a cute image from
 ROBYN'S FETISH

Here is my GD inspiration card

I used the following....
6X6 Base card.
I cut 2 mats out of papers in shades of grey, one being a wood effect.
I used the same papers to make 2 sentiments.
I coloured the image using COPICS
I placed some tiny flowers over the flowers in the image
and placed a pearl in the centre of 3 of the flowers.
I die cut some leaves and arranged them to give the appearance
of vines growing on the bird house.
I cut a thin strip of paper to make a 'stand' for the bird house..
I die cut a little fence and placed it at the bottom...
The I die cut some grass and placed it along the base of the fence.
Then I placed some tiny white flowers among the grss.
Lastly I placed the sentiments, one at the top, the other to the right
just below the bottom of the bird house.

LET'S CRAFT & CREATE #113

Hello and good morning!

Im here with a new challenge post for
LETS CRAFT & CREATE
which starts today.
The theme is
BREAST CANCER AWARENESS/PRETTY IN PINK

There is a lovely prize of some beautiful Petaloo flowers to be won!

Here is my inspiration card

I cut the card using my Silhouette Cameo.

I purchased the file from the Silhouette store.
I cut it out in white then adhered a piece of pink cardstock to the inside
so as to show through the support ribbons.
I cut out a pink support ribbon with a heart on it...
then cut it out again slightly bigger in white to give a shadow effect.
I didnt think it needed anything else.

And thats my DT card for this time.

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

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.

WINTER WONDERLAND - WHITE ON WHITE

Hello!

We have a new challenge starting for you today over at
WINTER WONDERLAND
It is the ICICLES DT posting their inspiration today
With our DT Leader ALISON hosting.
This is a Christmas themed blog for most of the year.
If like me you love making Christmas cards then please do come and join us.

Our sponsor for this challenge is
BUNNY ZOE'S CRAFTS
and the prize will be...
£10 GIFT VOUCHER
Sadly this will be the last sponsorship from this lovely artist as the shop is closing.
We wish Nikki every success with whatever her chosen path may be.
There is a sale going on right now so pop over and grab yourself a bargain!

So here is my inspiration card.
I love white on white.
Always looks clean and crisp just like the first snowfall.

I used a white 5x5 base card and layered the front with a slightly smaller mat
that I had embossed with a sheet music embossing folder. I also embossed a strip of white card to fit across the middle of the front of the card.
I cut out some pretty die-cuts using dies in my stash and placed them using 3D foam pads to give a bit of depth to these. Then I die-cut a little winter scene and placed that over the top of the other die cuts using 3D foam pads again. Finally I used a little silver glitter glue.
Lastly to finish off the card I placed a sentiment in the top left corner.

And thats my DT card for this time.

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

Please do visit our other DT members to see their fabulous creations too.

Thank you for stopping by today and we look forward to seeing your creations in the challenge.
