Isamaki Challenge 5 "sketch"







Not too sure about this one but hey ho win some loose some.

Artygirlz Challenge "Frames"


For this challenge I cut an oblong frame from silver board using the sizzix, I then embossed it with the cuttlebug swirls folder. I used a silver heart backing paper directly onto card blank, stamped coloured and cut out a dancing couple from my Tanda selection and then stuck them directly onto the backing paper. I then stuck the frame to the card front and cut to size. The scan does not do the metallics of this card justice, but it would be ideal for a silver wedding anniversary.

Caardvarks challenge "valentine"


This was great fun created using cut out hearts as masks to colour directly onto the card blank. A little spray of glimmer mists completed the effect.

Di Hickman Sketch challenge #5


I was really pleased with the end result of this one. I prepared the card blanking using a patterned paper from my "once upon a time" stack. I then stamped the image directly onto the floral paper, embossed and then coloured using sakura gel pens.

Tanda Stamps challenge Red, White & Black


Again I have kept this one simple, I covered a card blank with a black embossed paper and attached a white fabric flower trim. I then stamped the dress using black stazon onto red card, cut out and mounted using foam pads.

Daring Cardmakers Challenge "Red & White"


I have kept this one simple, I have used two rubber stamps. The 1st heart & flower stamp I stamped red onto white card blank & embossed, white onto red card, embossed and cut to size & mounted. The 2nd single heart stamp I stamped white onto red card, embossed and cut out and red onto white shrink plastic, cut out and shrunk. I stuck it all together and finished off with a little red bow.

Theme Thursday "Triangle Art"


This was a fun challenge from Theme Thursday and I enjoyed playing with it and giving it a little twist.
I cut a triangular card blank with a spare card front which I prepared with hand done backing paper and then adhered to the card front vie two sides thus making the top edge into a pocket to hold two triangular tags.
