Wednesday Stamper Challenge "Eyelets"

Well I decided to use a peel-off bodice for this challenge and lace the front, I also needed a 21st birthday card, after quite a bit of playing I have ended up with this, it is a large card A4 folded width wise so I also had to make a box to put it in......Still I am quite pleased with the end result.

C.P.S. CHALLENGE SKETCH # 67

I just could not resist getting the adirondak inks out once again for this challenge, sponging the backing colours directly onto the card blank before adding a ribbon the 3 rectangles ( 2 cuttlebug embossed and 1 rubber stamped and embossed) and a coloured peel-off greeting.

Ismaki Challenge # 22

Another lovely sketch challenge this week from Ismaki with the option of red!

I had great fun with this one sponging shades of red both directly onto the card blank as well as the 3 rectangles.

I rubber stamped corners onto the base card and then rubber stamped and embossed the bird & flowers onto the smallest rectangle.

I then mounted the rectangles onto black card and attached some black ribbon before mounting it all together and finishing off with a black flower with a red stoned brad.

Papertake weekly challenge " To Die For"

I have fallen back on my good old sizzix tools dies for this challenge, Having prepared a card blank with a grey marbled paper I rubber stamped coloured and cut out the little d.i.y. man and the tool frame. I then mounted it all up together and finished with a coloured peel-off.

My Time To Craft Challenge "brads & eyelets"

I opted for paisley brads for this challenge and a gardening theme.

I rubber stamped & embossed the image onto a hand made paper cut out and mounted using the paisley brads onto a paisley cuttlebuged piece of card. I then mounted it all onto a prepared card blank using paisley backing paper.

Tanda Teaser "Initial Reaction"

For this challenge I have kept things fairly simple....No Rubber Stamping.... I took 2 chipboard letters which I coloured and embossed black before putting little diam ante's on. Next I cuttlebug embossed a piece of black card and cut out a happy and a birthday which I mounted onto white card and placed on the prepared card blank with the chipboard letters. The finishing touch a black silk flower with a diamante centre.

Rainbow Lady's Challenge "a facelift for an old friend" & then some

For this challenge I have used my hydrangea stamp but in a different way from how I have used it previously. I stamped it onto a parchment, coloured and then used a stylus to emboss from the reverse, I then mounted it onto white card and then gold board.The other two cards are ones I have just completed, one for a lady who is going to be 80 and the other just playing with techniques and colour.
