Embrace Life

Party Time Tuesday’s Challenge (#70) this week is Anything Goes. I choose to do a Stamping Silhouettes technique. I checked out Jennifer McGuire Ink web site for ideas on Stamping Silhouettes.

I embossed my Chapel Road rubber stamp called Queen’s Ann’s Lace with Pearluster Amethyst embossing powder then rubbed three colours of distressed inks into the background. To complete the card I added a ribbon, sentiment by JustRite Stamps and a butterfly. 

Thanks for stopping by.

I am also entering this card in the Come and Get it Challenges this week - flowers and butterflies.

Floral Collage

Flowers and butterflies, one of my favourite themes for a card and that is what the challenge is at Come and Get it Challenges this week.

I printed the digi image by Arty Pants Digital Stamps on water colour paper. I copied the butterfly a second time so I could cut out the wings and layer them on the card.

I coloured the images with a paint brush, water and distressed inks. I think the inks gives the card an antique look. I also trimmed the card with a lace punch by Martha Stewart to add more interest and continue the antique theme of this Flora Collage card.  I resisted adding glitter to the card because I thought it was busy enough with  such a detailed image.

We’re excited to see what all of you come with this week at Come and Get it Challenges! Hope you’ll join us.

I would also like to enter this card into Party Time Tuesday’s challenge(#70) this week - anything goes.

Colourful Chickadee

They have a bold and sassy color combination for this week’s challenge at Dynamic Duos Challenge (#5). The colours are "real red and island indigo".

I used a few different die cutters to create this card:

• Chickadee by Dee’s Distinctively for the bird 
• Branch by Memory Box
• Three different Spellbinders Nestabilities for layering
• Tim Holtz Flora cutter

I found the red and white brad and the polka dot red and white ribbon in my stash and added them to finish the card, Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.

Christmas Foliage

Here is my card for this weeks challenge at Craftyhazelnut’s Christmas Challenge (#74), Christmas foliage. This lovely digi with the four robins and holly by Just Inklined Digi Stamps. I of saying by Stampin Up. I think the addition of the brad, glitter, and ribbon give the card a festive mood.

I am also entering this card in the Holly Jolly Christmas Challenge - Christmas birds.

Thanks for stopping by and have a creative day.

Flowers Through the Window

I have made this simple flower and window card for the Make it Monday Challenge  (#91) .  I used the new Grand Madison Window die for the window frame and a flower rubber stamp called Upsy Daisy that I stamped in dark blue pigment ink and embossed with a sparkling clear embossing powder. I added a couple of butterflies, a ribbon  and the card was completed. 

I am also submitting this card for the Come and Get it Challenges window card challenge.

Christmas Duck

Inside

Christmas birds are the theme of this week’s challenge at Holly Jolly Christmas Challenges.  I have used a Christmas duck for his challenge from Penny Black.  I had in my stash some small Christmas file folders by Rusty Pickle and  I decided to use one as the base of my card with a couple of small clips with red dots to hold the card closed. 

I layered Christmas papers, added glitter, a couple of sentiments and some Christmas lights to complete the card. 

Get your Christmas cards done early this year, come join the fun at Holly JollyChristmas Challenges. 

Thank you for stopping by and have a creative day.

It's a Boy

Dynamic Duos this week (#4) theme this week is monochromatic colours and the colours are bashful blue and marina mist. When I think of that colour combo I immediately thought of a card for a baby boy. I found this digi image by Just Ink Lined Digi Stamps called "Baby Line" for this card. I like the cute teddy bear hanging on the line.

Once I had finished completing adding colour to the image I layered papers in the theme colour, a sentiment, pearls and added a ribbon to finish the card.
