Aldburgh

I have used a fabulous image and papers from the Ooh La La Creations Water Colour Memories CD called Aldburgh to make my easel card.

I printed my image and cut it into three equal parts, I then inked the edges and layered it up on a paper from the CD using foam pads.

I used my Marianne Design CreaTables LR0418 die to cut the rope and added a sentiment from another Ooh La La CD to act as a stopper.

Changing Tree

I'm a little late posting today - we have a glut of tomatoes in the greenhouse at the moment and I have been making tomato sauce all morning.

I've been playing with my Baby Changing Tree stamps from Little Claire again and I've made a pink card for a baby girl.

I coloured my image with ProMarkers and cut it out with a Spellbinders circle die, I also used a Spellbinders scalloped circle die and a scalloped edge die from Clearly Besotted.  The flowers are a Marianne die and the ribbon, buttons and twine are from my stash.

Finally I added some 3D Crystal Lacquer to the baby bottles, some Wink of Stella Glitter to the flowers and some small gems to the centre of the flowers.

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges:

Crafts 4 Eternity Challenge 188 - Anything Goes

On the Move

It's time for a new challenge at Winter Wonderland and our theme for this week is On the Move - your image can show movement e.g. sledging or create something with a moving part e.g. a slider card.

I have used a gorgeous image from Kenny K who is our sponsor this week and made a twister card. I've never made one of these before, making the card was no problem - taking a decent photograph was impossible!

I coloured my image with ProMarkers and added glitter to her hat and the snow.  The papers are from the Dovecraft Back to Basics Vintage Christmas collection and I used a Marianne Designs stamp for my sentiment.

The snowflake is a Simon Says Stamp die cut coated with glitter and the Aurora Sparklers are from my stash - I think they may have come from the Hobby House originally.

This week we are sponsored by Kenny K

who are offering one lucky winner 3 digis of their choice
