CRAFTY ADDICTS FACEBOOK GROUP - ANYTHING GOES/USE GLITTER

Hello there!

Here is my inspiration post for the SEPTEMBER challenge at
THE CRAFTY ADDICTS FACEBOOK GROUP
The theme this month is
ANYTHING GOES/USE GLITTER

The sponsor for this challenge is
SAMI STAMPS
with a prize of
 $12 VOUCHER

Here is my inspiration card...

This is a really pretty image and even though yellow is not usually a colour I would choose I think it turned out quite well.

I used plain and patterned yellow papers from my stash and layered them to the front of the base card.

I rounded the edges off using a 2p piece lol..a tip I picked up from Sara Davies on one of her videos lol.

I tied a strip of yellow ribbon around the mats and placed a double bow in the centre.

I put a sentiment centre bottom.

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.

SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGE #14

Hello!!

I was asked to join a new DT this week at

SUNNY DAY CRAFTING CHALLENGES

The theme is always 

ANYTHING GOES

So without further ado here is my DT inspiration for you...

I made a birthday card using papers, dies and embossing folder from

SARA SIGNATURE COLLECTION ENGLISH COUNTRY GARDEN

from CRAFTERS COMPANION

I love this collection!

I embossed a 6x6 white base card

Then I used one of the edge dies and a sheet of the paper from the 6x6 paper pad.

It was half wood effect and half patterned.

I made a double bow in pink glitter ribbon 

Put 3 white pearls opposite the bow

Die cut a flower using one of the flower dies from the collection.

Stamped a sentiment using a freebie stamp in my stash.

Hope you like my card and it inspires you to join our challenge.
