CRAFT CONSORTIUM - 'THINKING OF YOU' WEEK

Hello and thank you for stopping by today.

My DT post for CRAFT CONSORTIUM today features some beautiful paper pads from HACKNEY & CO

These are being shown on CREATE & CRAFT on October 9th.

Hope you will be watching.

So my first sample is a card created using ENGLISH GARDEN collection

As it is 'THINKING OF YOU' week I decided to make a card for this.

These papers are so pretty!

I also used Duck Egg satin ribbon and resin flowers from the  ALWAYS & FOREVER collection and some tiny white pearls from the same collection. The toppers in the centre I fussy cut from the cover of the paper pad.

I do hope you like my first inspiration for Craft Consortium and you will drop by to see more when I post more inspiration for you.

ANYTHING GOES with optional twist INLAID DIE CUT

This is my inspiration project for you.

Hope this will give you lots of inspiration.
I started off with a 5.5x5.5 base card.
I layered the front and inside with paper from the ENGLISH GARDEN paper pad
from CRAFT CONSORTIUM
I die cut the 'inlaid die cut' using a die from my stash.
Pretty butterflies and flowers.
I stamped a 'thinking of you' sentiment and die cut it with a banner die.
Finally I placed a blue self adhesive pearl in each corner.
Hope you like what I did and it will inspire you to join in with our challenge.

Hello lovely people!
We have a new challenge starting today over at

LET'S CRAFT & CREATE

The theme for this challenge is....

CHILDS PLAY

Remember to visit us again for our half-way post from Team 2 on 19th of the month. 

This is my DT inspiration for you this time around.

A simple card this time around.

I used a 5.5 square base card and layered the front with a patterened paper - 5-3/8inch square.
I used a baby print paper pad in my stash and cut out elements from it, such a stags and circles. I die cut a stitched circle and put a self-adhesive rocking horse picture in the centre and put on the card using foam tape. 

Hope you like it and I hope you will join our challenge.

Happy crafting!

SHEEPSKI DESIGNS BLOG CHALLENGE #5 - FEATURE A CREATURE

Well here we are with Challenge #5 for.....

SHEEPSKI DESIGNS BLOG CHALLENGES
The theme for this challenge is....
FEATURE A CREATURE
You can read the rules....
HERE
So here is my DT inspiration for you!

I used Andrea's image 'ROCKET & ROSIE'

You can purchase it

HERE

This is such a cute image and so easy to colour.

I coloured the image with Copics and made the grass and what are supposed to be flowers lol.

I die cut around the image using a 'stitched circle' die. I placed it on top of a pretty patterned paer I layered on the fron of the card. Lastly I stamped a sentiment and cut it out using a 'banner' die.

I used foam tape on the image topper and sentiment banner to give them some dimension.
  I hope you like what I did with the image and it will give you some inspiration.

Thank you for visiting today.

Happy crafting!!
