A Floral Thank You

It's time for a new challenge at Crafting for all Seasons and the theme is Add Some Sparkle.

I have used a gorgeous image and papers from the Crafter's Companion A Country Life CD.

I printed two images so that I could decoupage the flower, I then added lots of sparkle with a Spectrum Noir Sparkle Pen, which of course doesn't show up on the photograph.

The sentiment is from Hero Arts stamped onto a tag from the CD, the ribbon and gems are from my stash.

You can just about see the sparkle in this photograph.

Our sponsor for this challenge is:

Daffodil Bunny

This is my second DT card today, if you are looking for my Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper challenge card you will find it below.

It's time for a new challenge at Paper Creator's Crafts and the theme for this challenge is Spring Colours - Paper Creator products are not essential but you will gain an extra entry for using them.

I have made a Shadow Box Card from the Multi Card Kits Mega Bundle, the kit contains 30 printable card kits covering various themes - I have used the Daffodil Bunny Kit.

It is quite a difficult card to photograph effectively.  I cut out the decoupage image and layered it up with foam pads.  I used Tattered Lace dies to cut a frame and punched some borders to go down the sides of the card.

The sentiment and flower are also part of the kit, the ribbon and enamel dot are from my stash.

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

PDE Linky Party Challenge 112 - Anything Goes

Spring Birthday

This is my card for the new challenge at Craftyhazelnut's Patterned Paper Challenge. The theme is always Anything Goes - you may enter any creation on which patterned paper has been used, you are no longer required to completely cover your project with patterned paper, as long as you use some on your creation.

This is another of the cards that I made for last months edition of Simply Cards & Papercraft.  I used one double-sided sheet from the Echo Park Happy Easter 12x12" collection to make five cards and a matching box.  I used a Spellbinders Grand Nestabilities Scalloped Circle die to create the card base and a Tattered Lace Essential Circles die to cut the papers.

The flower was created using a Crafter's Companion Die'sire Essentials Flowers for all Occasions die, the sentiment is from Pink Petticoat and I hand cut the banner.

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

Lil Patch of Crafty Friends Challenge 28 - Anything Goes
