Celtic squares

Less is More week 4, and this weeks challenge is to use 3 squares. I used a stamp from a set I dont often use called Celtic, using black gloss card stock embossed my 3 squares with gold embossing powder and then layered it onto gold mirror card, and then onto a strip of the black gloss card before placing onto my white card stock. My sentiment was computer generated using Park Avenue BT font.

Crochet flower card

Purple again, one of my favourite colours, I had fun learning how to crochet, I made this flower and dyed it with violet reinker to match the backing card which I embossed with swiss dots, I then added a button to the centre of the flower, the flower stem was stamped with a stamp from Stampin Up Mixed Boquet, and embossed with white onto black card. The sentiment was computer generated.

Thank you with flowers

I just love embossed flowers, I was blog hopping last week and came across a blog which gave me this idea, sorry I cant link you to the blog, but this is what I came up with and it fits the following 2 challenges. Just us girls challenge which was asking for dry embossing, and also Flutterbywednesday which wanted a creation with a butterfly, angel or fairy on it.
My flowers were punched out and the centres were a die snowflake cut down with a spot of stickes in the centre, the leaves were made with a leaf punch kindly lent me by Anne, the corners are one of the Prova vintage die cuts. The sentiment was computer generated and done in green to match the leaves.

Card from scraps

I had fun making this, its for the challenge at Die cut dreams, using my flower die cut and lots of embossing folders, the sentitment was computer generated.

Scrap-tastic

Saw a challenge to clear up lots of scraps on capture the moment and I thought what a good idea, so came up with this card, the flowers were cut out using a ProvaCraft die cut which is in the photograph, the stem I drew freehand using a whispers pen, and the leaf was cut out using a Woodware punch, and another bit of scrap green card I used for the scalloped edging at the bottom this was cut using scissors. The sentiment was computer generated.

This card also fits the challenge at Our Creative Corner where its a clean and simple challenge.

In the Pink

For my card I used one of my cuttlebug folders for the first time, its the leafy branch, and after embossing my brown card with it I roughen it up with a pan cleaner, to get the distressed look. The flowers were made from a Provo Craft die cut, and the circles punched out with my leather punch. The sentiment was computer generated in pink and then embossed with clear powder. I used my scallopped scissors to finish off the edge, and finally pink ribbon threaded through a white beaded buckle. I was inspired by a card I saw while blog hopping, I am afraid I dont know where I saw the card but if anyone does please let me know and I will give credit.

This fits the Pink Elephant challenge where we had to use ribbon and die cuts

One stop Craft challenge where we could not use any designer paper

ABC challenge where this week it was D for distressing

and Stamp TV where the colour challenge was to use Pink and one neutral colour.

Then Stamp Something challenge this week was for a Thank you card. The image is a Penny Black and the flower is peppered with crystal Stickles, layers onto paper with was generated by the computer so it matched the Thank You text which was also computer generated, and finished with a ribbon bow.

Red butterflies

Just bought a butterfly punch and had to have a play. I used K&Co backing papers and red and green card stock.

3 orange flowers

The challenge this week on Stamp Something is called Triple play.

" For the challenge this week we want to see what you can do with 3 layers, 3 colors, and 3 embellishments. We're calling it a "Triple Play" challenge. You can interpret this challenge however you choose, go with just 3 of each or at least 3 of each!"

My first layer onto my base card was orange, the flowers I made thanks to Joanne's tutorial, it was great fun and now I have done it once I will use it again, thank you Joanne. I used part of one of Penny Blacks stamps for the stems, and the fancy ribbon was some Jo kindly sent me. My text was computer generated.

Penny Black Thank You

I made this for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge, which is a colour challenge, using pink, brown and green, this is the first time I have made a square card, but with the image I felt it best. I coloured it with whisper pens layered it on brown card, then used some the same brown card for my base, the message was computer generated, and some brown and pink check paper to try and give it a bit of life, a bit of green ribbon to match up with the breen leaves and grass, and finally layered the image onto the card with foam pads.

Penny Black Saturday Challenge

I have used the first Penny Black stamp I bought it is called Lace Flower, I used the Xmas Red Stickles on the flower to give the sparkle. Penny Black Saturday Challenge
