Daring Cardmakers Challenge "Fish or Frog"

I have been asked to make a card with a dolphin on, I do not own a dolphin stamp so used a clip art image. Coloured embossed and cut out.

Arty Girlz Challenge "Butterflies"

Again I have been experimenting, this time I coloured the butterfly image using sakura glitter pens, I then covered the whole image with versifine and embossed. The finished effect is simply fantastic, sadly this has not shown up brilliantly in the photo, but give it a go!

My Time To Craft Challenge "Becky's Sketch No2"

I have tried something a little different with this challenge, I rubber stamped my image onto some thick textured mount board using cats eye chalk, I then mixed some of the same colour chalk with water and coloured some of the image. Not sure about the end result but certainly different!

House Mouse & Friends Challenge "Mothers day"

Here is the card I have done for the House Mouse & Friends "Mothers day card" challenge. Using patterned papers and fabric flowers along with ribbon and a mouse!

Cuttlebug "Sketch" Challenge

I decided that I have done far too many feminine cards of late so this I have gone for a masculine card for this sketch!

Tanda Teaser "A bird in the hand"

I decided on complicated simple for this challenge, a simple layout with a complicated image......I have used a sponge along with chalks, masks and glimmer mist to form a backing before stamping my owl image using black stazon. Then simple mounting.

High Hopes Challenge "Sponging"

Sponging back grounds is something I do quite frequently. I really like the effects that can be accomplished!

Finally to Share!

Well I did not get as many challenges done as I was hoping so next time will have to do....meanwhile I just wanted to share this last card which I am simple delighted with....So simply made using a duflex decoupage fairie poppet and a couple of large flower doodles.

Cuttlebug Challenge "Emboss Acetate"

Sadly this card has not photographed brilliantly but I think you can get the general idea!

Rainbow Lady challenge "scenes""Where's the nearest tree?"

The challenge is too make a card with a scene. I am not fortunate to have one of these helping hands c.d's everybody is so enthusiastic about so I decided to create my own scene using a photo taken on a day out in Warwick shire. I have added and coloured an image from a "girl about town" download. The challenge also calls for you to give your scene a title and my title is going to be "Where's the nearest tree?".

Tanda Teaser "Tiptoe through the tulips"

I decided to use this challenge to make an anniversary card for my son & his wife. I have used this stamp for two reasons, firstly because it is cute and secondly because its the only stamp with tulips I have LOL!

Pollycraft Challenge "think pink"

I simply adore this little stamp from pollycraft and think pink seems to suit her so here we have it!

High Hopes "Hoppy Easter" plus Cuttlebug "Mellow Yellow"

A little bit of cheating here as I have combined a card to fit two challenges. A nice bright cheerful Easter card for High Hopes....& the Cuttle bug challenge for mellow Yellow....Yellow makes me smile!

Shipping order for "Grumpy Jack & Ann"

I needed to make several elaborate cards for my friends Jack & Ann yesterday, needless to say I have once again fallen behind with my challenges. Any way I will share the cards I have made for Jack & Ann with you and will then concentrate on the challenges!

Cuttlebug Challenge "Shaped Card"

I needed a very special Wedding card for my very special niece who is getting married in the very near future. I decided to use this challenge for that special card....
My aim was to make a very modern card and I hope she likes it as much as I do!
I have also made a shaped box for it to go in but because of the acetate I could not get a good image to share.

Tanda Teaser Challenge "Hearts & Flowers"

The final card for today is for the Tanda Teaser.

Arty Girlz Challenge "Flowers"

I decided on this card for this challenge with a view to Mothering Sunday!

My Time To Craft Challenge "Going for Gold"

I needed to make a golden wedding anniversary card so this challenge played right!

High Hopes Challenge "Sketchy Time"

This was a lovely sketch to follow. Using my favourite (at present) rubber stamp!

Rainbow Lady Challenge "Monotone"

I have lost track of the colours I have used in previous challenges but am pretty sure yellow was not one of them so here is my "mellow yellow" offering.

Daring Cardakers Challenge "patterned paper passion"

The challenge called for 3 patterned papers, so that's what I have used along with a down loaded girl about town image and a couple of white brads.

My Time To Craft Challenge "A little birdie told me"

I decided to use a down load for this challenge & kept it fairly simple!

TANDA TEASER "SEEING SPOTS"

For my final card today I have slotted in the Tanda Teaser. Seeing spots. For this project I have used patterned paper (dotty of course) plain white card put through the dotty embossing folder and a downloaded ostrich which I have enhanced with some feathers.

ISMAKI CHALLENGE SKETCH

I have not used any stamping for this project, just patterned paper, punches, ribbon, little brads and glitter. Simple but effective!

House Mouse & Friends Challenge "VALENTINES"

For this challenge I have combined one of my favourite teddy stamps with a piece of a house mouse stamp, this little character is on the jumping bean stamp, his facial expression is simply adorable! So I decided to use him in my heart!

High Hopes Challenge "LACE"

Here is the 2nd new stamp I have bought, and I thought it was just right for this challenge.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge "LOVE"

Well I have bought a couple more pollycraft stamps so for this challenge I have used a new rubber stamp along with a freebie download.
