Cupcake craft challenge #141–DT card

** THIS IS MY SECOND POST FOR TODAY **

Please scroll down to see my Stamp with Fun DT card

Hello again, I told you I’d be back didn’t I lol!  This week over at cupcake craft challenge we have a theme that has been set by our competition winner Lisa and she has chosen ‘gingham and roses’, which is such a lovely theme.  I had such a hectic week last week that my card is one that I made a little while ago, but luckily fitted in with the theme!!  Here is my card:

I also decorated the inside of the card (albeit plainly!)

I have used a gorgeous digi image from Just Inklined and I thought it was perfect for a sympathy card.  I know the CAS layout is quite unusual for me but I thought it was such a beautiful image that it really didn’t need to be fussed too much.  I have the say that the gingham ribbon is exactly the same colour as the rose IRL – I don’t know what has happened to the make it look blue in the picture!

We are sponsored this week by cupcake cards and crafts and the lucky winner will receive a gorgeous ‘shabby beautiful’ digital cardmaking kit.

        

Don’t forget we also have our ‘icing on the cupcake’ sponsor and for May that is Crafts U Love and the lucky winner will receive a £15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Charisma cardz challenge #45 – DT card

Morning everyone, I hope you are all having a good week so far, I can’t believe it is Thursday already, where is the time going?  I’m here today to share my DT card for this week’s charisma cardz challenge.  This week our theme has been set by Leah and she has chosen “sympathy”.  Unfortunately I needed a card for my hubby’s friend who’s father sadly passed away recently so I decided to make my card in manly colours, even though I had a floral image.   Here is my card:

I used a freebie digital image from Just Inklined called peony 2 available at Imag-e-nation (although I don’t think it’s available as a freebie any longer). 

We have two sponsors this week, firstly we have soft pencil who are offering a $15.00 voucher to spend in their online store.

Our second sponsor is pizzazz aplenty and they are offering one lucky winner this amazing prize:
