In stitches

Over on the allsorts challenge blog, the theme is to include stitching or faux stitching. As my sewing machine is still in England, I drew faux stitching around the image and the green paper. I was given the image a while ago but just found it hidden in my paper stash.

Petals and pearls

Over on the allsorts blog, the theme is petals and pearls. I've used a popcorn bear stamp which I won a while ago. I haven't used it much as it is quite large and I don't have a large enough acrylic block to fit it all on comfortably. I also find that it is hard to get all of the stamp printing cleanly. Anyway, back to the card. I've used a colour scheme that is a bit unusual for me, but I think it works with the delicate pearls.

And yes, I will make sure I link this properly to the allsorts blog!

A bit of a challenge

Over at polkadoodles, the theme is to create a wedding card or project. This was a challenge for me as I always find wedding cards difficult. Anyway, I used some patterned voile for the background and embossed some foil which came from food packaging with a love birds stamped image.

How silly!

I'm obviously suffering from baby brain and tiredness as have just realised that somehow I managed not to link my no DP card to the allsorts challenge. Ooops! I thought I had double checked, too!

A happy bunny

I think this is my week for good luck craftwise, as my black, white and pink cake card has been named the winner for the polkadoodles challenge. I'm over the moon and am looking forward to playing with the downloads I was given as a prize.

No papers!

Over at allsorts, the challenge is to make something without using any design papers. Well, I took the opportunity to have a play and have used my SU french script stamp backed with glimmer misted card for the background. I then used a SU flower stamp and chalks for my image.

A new card

Over at polkadoodles, the challenge is to make a birthday card. I decided to try a new (to me) design of card. I've seen these belt cards before and put it on my to make list but never got around to it. I used a flower vase decoupage from the polkadoodles paper boutique CD.
