Moxie Fab World - tuesday Trigger




















Just a very quick entry for the Moxie Fab Tuesday Trigger.

The stamp is from Prima and I have used Copic Markers, distress ink and pencils to colour the image.

City Crafter challenge week 110

The challenge this week at City Crafter is  - A Rose is a Rose. I had to make a card for this challenge - who doesn't love roses?! I decided to finally use this beautiful Authentique paper I've been hoarding.
























I used a die-namics die to make the roses and a spellbinder die for the doilies. The sentiment is from Papertrey ink. I'm sorry the photo is a little over exposed I think. I liked the Kookaburra tamp image - I think I will send this card to my Mother-in -Law in Scotland, because she loves flowers and  birds and she'll like that it's an Australian bird.

Here is another variation - it does look clearer in this photo.

Make it Monday #67

The challenge this week at Make it Monday  is mixing patterned paper. I found these scraps in my stash and this is what I came up with. (ps: please don't look closely at the machine stitching - something went wrong with the tension!)


Playdate Cafe PDCC133

I Love the colours in this week's challenge at Playdate Cafe




















I had lot's of idea's for this colour scheme, which is odd because I don't think I've combined these colours before. This card is using Graphic 45 paper. I die cut a circle from the patterned paper, then die cut a doilie shape from cream card and mounted with dimensional tape. The knife and fork are from Kaisercraft - I inked and embossed them with silver. The flowers are made using die-namics mini rose and the sentiment is from Papertrey Ink.
This card is a lot busier than my normal style, but I loved the pattern paper so much I wanted to showcase it.
I'm also entering this card in the Moxie Fab Doilies & Lace challenge and Pink Elephant challenge

Scrapbook Boutique - Bold & Bright/Moxie Fab - Doilies & Lace

























Today I have made a card for Scrapbook Boutique's challenge,- the theme is bold and bright, which is a perfect antidote for today's weather. We are expected to get a month's worth of rain in one day!
I will also enter this in the Moxie Fab doilies & Lace challenge
The doilie stamp is from Kaisercraft - I used versafine black and clear embossed. The butterflies are Hero Arts. The pink ribbon looks like it is 2 different colours because of the reflection - it was difficult to get enough natural light for a photo today.
