Cupcake craft challenge #102 – DT card

Hello again, I’m back to share with you my card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  Firstly I would like to say a big welcome to Faye as this is her first official week in charge of us at cupcake and also a big thank you to Donna for working so hard to make the challenge blog such a success.  This week’s theme has been chosen by the super talented Kathrin and she would like to see some distressing on your creations.  Now you know it’s not my most favourite thing to do but I seem to have done it quite a lot recently!  Anyway here is my card, which was an order for a friend in work:

CCC challenge 102 - distressing

I attempted to make my own roses, after seeing a few tutorials around blogland and I’m quite pleased with my first go at it.  I will definitely be trying these again.  I distressed all the edges of my card and paper with a small pair of scissors. 

We are sponsored this week by Simon Says Stamp and one lucky winner will receive a $20.00 gift voucher plus free shipping – I’m very jealous lol!

Where has summer gone??

Morning all, summer seems to have disappeared from South Wales, it’s gloomy and grey here this morning, although the rain has stopped for 5 minutes.  I’m not a big fan of sun-bathing but I love it when the sun is shining – so come on Mr Sunshine please come back to us lol! 

Ok enough of my waffling, I’m sharing a wedding card today (yes one of the 6 I had to make last week for the same couple).  I used the freebie image from Pollycraft so its quite apt that I am entering it into their challenge :)

Cupcake craft challenge #101 – DT card

Hello again, I’m back to share my DT card for this week’s cupcake craft challenge.  This week I’ve had the pleasure of choosing the theme and as I’m yet to start my Christmas cards properly I have gone with “pastel Christmas”.  There are quite a few Christmas themes around blogland at the moment so you should be getting a good head start with your cards :)  Here is my card:

CCC challenge 101 - pastel Christmas

I was lucky enough to win Mo’s challenge a few weeks ago and this is the image I chose as my prize – isn’t she just so sweet.  I know she isn’t coloured in her traditional colours but I think she looks equally as beautiful.  I will also shock you when you realise I haven’t used any pattern papers on my card at all – I know I’m feeling faint!! 

Our sponsor this week is Papermom and the lucky winner will receive 3 digi images of their choice.
