70 Today!

A quick post to share the card I made for my cousin, I used the strangest Copic colour combo to colour the wings:-

R85, YR16 and Y21. I love the look it's given!

Some stamping, paper piercing, embossing,

And a whole lot of die cutting complete my card.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
Dragonfly Dreams, Wings,
TCC, Crop/cut it,
CMCB14, Stamped image,
CAM149, Wings,
CC64, Happy birthday,
Scrap it June, Wings.

My New Toy

I'm such a lucky girlie, my lovely husband bought me a new toy, a Grande Calibur! 

Thought you might like to see the first card I made using it. A card ordered by a work colleague.Aren't easel cards just a pain to photograph, the photo really doesn't do the card justice, I have to say I was more than a little pleased with my first large die cut card. The stamped images are by Papermania and were coloured using Copics. 



I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

CRAFT155, Easel,

Crafty Ribbons 19, Flowers,

Delightful Challenge, Add ribbon,

Dutch Dare 165, Shaped card,

Sassy Studio 125, 3 of something,

PSC32, Banners.

Scrapbook Sister's Challenge.

There certainly are a talented lot of crafters out there in blogland and many of them entered last week's challenge at "Scrapbook Sisters" It was lovely wandering round and taking a look at all of the entries. Wednesday means there is a new challenge theme, not one that I was happy with as it's an occasion that I myself don't give cards for preferring to speak in person or send flowers if that's not possible.
The theme is "Sympathy Cards" I made a 3x3" Thinking of you card, one that could be sent on a plant or with flowers at such a time. (Although the cardstock looks blue here,it is actually a deeper,mauve)

The sentiment is Jane's script by Woodware and the Pansy is a Papermania stamp, coloured with Copics and shaped,mounted on the card using Pinflair Gel.

I'm using this card for the following challenges:-

Make It Monday 80, Anything goes,

SSS&S, Anything goes.

MMMmmmm????????

I'm loving the Less is more challenges,they really make you stop and think,in fact I'm thinking that maybe less of the picture and a slightly lower sentiment may have worked a little better. Want to know what else I'm thinking? maybe I take far too long on some cards when one of these simply creations looks so good! The challenge this week was to pick a square on your card to use for your focal image, call by their blog for more information. The lovely pansies by Papermania Botanical were stamped using Momento Tuxedo black and coloured using Copics.
I'm using this card for the following challenges:-
Less is More 17,Pick a square,
Simply Create 44,Special day,
Crafty Purple Frog,Things of beauty,
Crafty Sentiments,Special Occasions,
ABC Challenge,V is for violet.
I'm off to experiment again using another square,
