PB #32/SCSC #15/Cupcake challenge #23

I'm running extremely late with my challenges this week, but better late than never!! This week's PB challenge is 'let's get dotty', the SCSC is 'hearts' and the cupcake challenge is a sketch. I used my new PB stamp and coloured it with pro-markers. The dotty dp is by rob and bob, the black cs is from the papermill shop and the grey cs is by DCWV. The ribbon was cut out of an old top (waste not want not hehe!). The adhesive stones are PM. I'm really happy with this card, hope you like it too. Thanks for looking.

Sketch Saturday Challenge & DT call

This week's sketch saturday challenge is slightly different because if you wish to be considered for a DT place you have to make two cards, one being a christmas card. These are my entries for the challenge.

On the first card (which by the way I made for my sister's 40th birthday today) I used shoe dp from a kit that I got from QVC and the dotty dp is from a paper pack by papermania (again from QVC). The image is of course a stamping bella - cupcakeabella, which I coloured with my pro-markers and highlighted with stickles. The sticky ribbon is by papermania and the adhesive gems were from QVC. I used my fiskars threading water paper punch on a piece of bazzill bling cs. The pre-made stickers are by rob & bob and I used my pc for the sentiments.

For the christmas card I stamped the image called snowmen by lizzie anne designs and highlighted their hats with my pro-markers. The gorgeous snowflake dp is by craft creations and again I used my fiskars threading water paper punch to make the decorative edge on the white cs. The snowflake embellisments are by card candy. I used my square nestabilities (for the first time *gasp*) in my cuttlebug to emboss and cut the blue dp panel under the stamped image.

I hope you like. I know they won't be up to the winning standard but I'm relatively happy with them. Thanks for looking.

Butterfly card

I was asked to make a card for a 9 year old girl and the theme was butterflies. I had just received my stamps from Verve Visual called Fluttering By, so this was the ideal stamp set to use. I stamped the polka dot butterflies onto pink dp and then cut them out. I then stamped the plain butterflies onto white card and added the polka dot butterflies over the top, leaving the wings 3D (as you can hopefully see in the second pic). The two smaller butterflies are also from Verve Visual from a set called Petals & Stems. These sets are clear and a dream to use. The dp is by Rob & Bob and I used my pc to create the sentiment. The black card is bazzill bling which has a lovely sheen to it. A final touch was the Papermania adhesive stones on the butterflies bodies. I don't usually gush about my cards but I was really pleased with how this card turned out and may have to make a few more of them. If you've stayed with me throughout this very long post - congratulations ;) Thanks for looking.
