Love Owls

This is the card that I originally made for my DT project for the All your need is LOVE challenge over at  A Gem of a Challenge. However, when I went to add it to the DT blog I saw that one of my team mates had already used this image so I decided to make another card for the challenge.

This adorable coloured Pink Gem Designs image is called Love Owls, the gingham papers are a scrap that I had in my stash.  I think the sentiment is LOTV, but I'm not sure, I stamped it in white and clear embossed it on a hand cut banner.  The scalloped border is my new Die-namics Mini Scallop Edging Border die and the hearts are a Lawn Fawn die.

From a Friend!

You might remember that I used to be on the Crafting for All Seasons Design Team up until Christmas when I took the difficult decision to cut back on my DT commitments and left the team. Well, I couldn't stay away completely so I 'm back this week as a Guest Designer.

The challenge theme for the fortnight is 'Show us Some Romance' and I have made a card with a fabulous stamp that I received from a crafting friend.

Ellen - The Serendipitous Stamper, went to the CHA this year and brought back lots crafty goodies to share with her followers as Candy on her blog - I was lucky enough to win the adorable Art Impressions Valentot Heart Stamp.

I decided to water colour, which I don't do very often, I followed the design on the packaging and I have to say I'm quite pleased with how it turned out.

My papers are LOTV along with the sentiment tags.  I cut the little hearts with a Lawn Fawn die and the punched border is a very old Fiskars punch.

I decorated the inside of my card using the leftover papers.

The sponsor this time is : 

Meljens

and the prize is 4 non coloured images

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

Together Forever

It's time for our mid challenge reminder at House-Mouse and Friends Monday Challenge and our theme for this fortnight is Show Some Love hosted by Christine, for my card I've used a fabulous decoupage image from Joanna Sheen's Flower Power set.

I decided to cheer myself up and make a warm, summery card - I think this is my all time favourite House-Mouse image.  The papers are from Joanna Sheen's Jane Shasky CD and the Pink Petticoat Gingham collection.  My flower was die cut using the Daisy Flower Topper from Spellbinders and the sentiment was also from Pink Petticoat cut out with an EK Success punch..

I have used the same papers and design to decorate the inside of my card, you can also see some of the many layers of decoupage here.

We have two fabulous sponsors this time:

Generously offering ONE FREE CLASS to one Lucky Winner.
