Festive Friday - Include a wreath

What a lucky coincidence - I was playing around with a pine needle stamp, I cut it up actually, in order to make a wreath. So here is a card for the Festive Friday Element Challenge #20.

The pine branch is from Inkadoo and the sentiment is from Kaisercraft (I wish they hadn't put the full stop there - it really annoys me!) The deer is from Scrapmatts.

Scrapbook Boutique Challenge - Halloween - DIY Bat

I'm still having issues with nearly no internet - hopefully the new month will start today or tomorrow!

Here is a card for the Scrapbook 'Bootique'  Halloween challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Wednesday Challenge and the Simon Says Stamp Monday Challenge - spooky.

This is paper from a few years ago and I drew and cut out the bat, then covered it with sparkle n soft powder and added the eyes.

Case study challenge week 4 Elena

Hi , this will have to be a short post as the internet is excruciatingly  today. I'm enjoying casing Elena's creations so much! Here is my entry for this week's Case Study challenge.

Both the butterfly and sentiment are from Penny Black.

Muse Card Challenge - Had to play along with Darnell!

Time for another play at the Muse Card Club - challenge #40. What a wonderful, serene card by Darnell and for a very important cause - Breast Cancer Awareness.

This is Darnell's card...

And here is mine...

The designer paper is from Meg's Garden and Kaisercraft and the Painted Rose stamp is from Hero Arts.
ETA: I decided to make an envelope for the challenge at A Blog Named Hero.

Another Arty Card!

I thought I'd make another card for the MFW Tuesday Trigger - Enthralled with Fall, this time using leaves.

I was trying to get a sense of movement by using the splash of colour across the card and the flurry of leaves.
The leaves were cut with IO dies, coloured with distress inks, stamped with text for a bit of interest and then spritzed with Perfect Pearls for a bit of shimmer.

Runway Inspired Ric #46 L.A.M.B.

I just love the colours in the current Runway Inspired challenge - I did have a bit of a chuckle about the name of the collection!

I think it's obvious where I drew my inspiration - I took the black & white rose pattern from the skirt and the soft airbrushed look of the background.
The image is from Kaisercraft and the sentiment is from Stamp It!.
I used watercolour pencils, a dropper and spritzer to make the background.

I'll also enter this card in the Tuesday Trigger, because the colours match, although my card is more Spring than Autumn.

And Another 2 Balsa Wood!

I'm definitely on a roll here! I have another 2  cards for the MFW Metal, Wood & Cork challenge.
Actually it is 2 variations, using the same tag. As you may have noticed, red is the colour of the day!
This time I combined wood and metal.

                                                                       Card 1

Card 2

                   

I think the tag stamp is from Urban Stamps. The black tape was a fun find in a gift shop yesterday.
In case you can't see, I stamped the tag image on balsa wood and then cut it by hand. I stamped it a 2nd time and then cut out the heart  square and mounted it on the tag. I've had the key for quite a while - it's very pretty.
