Thinking of you

Back in the swing of things again after a lovely holiday in the US and Carribean. Now for my entry for Stamping Something Challenge for this week, we were asked to create something for a friend, this is a card I made for a friend who isnt too well at present and wanted her to know I was thinking about her.
The stamp I used is from Stampin Up, Summer by the Sea, and coloured with watercolour crayons, the sentiment is computer generated, and the paper is from K&Co.














Thank you for looking.

Westpoint

I was taken yesterday by my friend Ann to the Creative Stitches and Hobby craft Westpoint, near Exeter, we had a brilliant day out and met friends from East Coker card club and the Trefoil Crafting group there. So this is a card I made for her to say 'Thank You'.
I used the Cuttlebug borders I bought there to make the card, the text was computer generated.

Christmas Night

This week for the Stamp Something Challenge we had to use embleshments, so I had to make a start on my Christmas cards, and I have just got my Cuttlebug winter house embossing folder so had to have a play, and here it is... embossed on black card, use a bit of gold stickles on the rooftops, and the stars are beads, and finished off with red ribbon.

Sorry face

Add shapes to your creations is what Arty Girlz challenge is this week, so I thought of circles and used string for a circle face and then made circle eyes with my quilling tool, and some lovely textured wool for the topknot. The text was computer generated.

Pink Summer Girl

The challenge this week in Stamp Something was to make something which reminds you of Summertime, so I just had to use my Stampin Up girl from the Summer by the Sea set, she is painted with pearlised paints, and of course had to add a bit of ribbon! The text was computer generated with colour to match the paper.

Sleepy baby

The challenge for this week for the Penny Black Challenge is to use ribbon plus of course a Penny Black image. For mine I used my Cuttlebug swiss dots embossing folder for the background, coloured my image with my whisper pens. The text was computer generated and finishes off with pink ribbon.

I use one of the images Jo kindly sent me, its a Panduro stamp called flower girl, I coloured it with whisper pens, and used my Cuttlebug swiss dots on the red card, and finished it off with a little bit of white ribbon.

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.
