Butterflies and orange

I made this card for this weeks LGS challenge (CB) which is a sketchie set by Katie! The twist was butterflies. Since I have used orange papers I will also enter it into this weeks ECP challenge which is to use orange.

Double Trouble

I made this card for this weeks LGS sketchie challenge (Craftbubble). The sketch was set by GDT Clare and the theme was seeing double because it used two images and two embellishments. The images were sent to me in a stamp swap.

Lets Get Stamping-20th March

This weeks sketchie was set by Cindy (GDT) and the twist was to include one of the three b's (one button, brad and bow). I made two cards- one with a Mousekins image and one with a High Hopes Dragon image. (Both images were sent to me in an image swap on Craftbubble- thankyou!).

My Favourite Things

I made this card for the lgs goup (craftbubble) using the sketch set by Lauren. (The sketch has been changed a bit- hope this is ok). The twist was 'favourite things'. This is my favourite High Hopes Dragon image that I got in the last stamp swap; I have used glossy accents to make the dragon shiny (which is one of my favourite things at the moment); I used a powder blue promarker to go round the image (my favourite colour!); and I have used my favourite buttons.I will enter the card into this weeks Pixie Dust Studio challenge because the theme is flowers and buttons, both of which I have used on this card.

St Patrick's Day

I made this card for the LGS (Craftbubble) challenge this week. The sketch was set by Lauren and the twist was 'favourite things'. I think I might have twisted it a bit by making a St Patricks day card for Mum on the idea that my family fall under the catagory of 'favourite things'. I also really like this stamp and I like trying out new ideas and have used one of the torn paper flowers which I saw how to make on Katie Jane's blog (Am I a Dreamer).

Distressing

This weeks sketchie on Lets Get Stamping (Craftbubble) was set by Karen and the twist was to include distressing. Since the current Pollycraft challenge is to make a card with distressing I will enter these cards for that as well.

I'm not that good at distressing and found it distressing not to be using straight edges! These are my attempts. I think it might help if I had the right equipment and some distressing inks, but I made do with what I had already.

One card uses Missy download from Willow Designs and the other uses a chick from Pink Petticoat. The embossing on the chick card was done by hand using an old brass embossing stencil from Papermania and a light box.

Lets Get Stamping- 27th February

Yesterdays sketchie was set by Rosie and the twist was to include digi images or papers- something digi at any rate! There is a special prize offered this week- one of Sharon Armstrong's great downloads from Willow Designs. Hence the aim was to think creatively.

I couldn't get on the internet last night and so had plenty of time to make this card. The image is a digi one from Pollycraft, which I got last week. I tried to make the card a bit special by making a shaker out of the image and using handmade paper roses. The sketch has been rotated by 90 degrees too.

(I don't normally make many wedding cards, but a friend asked if I would make some for her to give this year and so decided to make a start.)

Lets Get Stamping- 20th February

This weeks sketch was set by Han (GDT) and the twist was to include animals. I had this great dragon free download which i wanted to use on a card (maybe stretching it a bit with the animals?) and made another with a Pink Petticoat Easter chick, from which I have cut off the greeting a made a birthday card.

LGS Sketchie 13th February

This weeks challenge was set by Lauren and the twist this week was that the main element couldn't be a stamped image, but since it is a stamping group there had to be some stamping on the card. This was quite difficult, but I made a heart from Iris folding one one card and a butterfly (the vellum is stamped with gold flowers but not that visable in the photo) on the other.

LGS Challenge 6th February

This weeks sketch was set by Karen and the twist was 'wings'. I made the card for the Pixie Dust Studio challenge as my entry, but have made two more cards using the same sketch, but without the twist. Both use digi stamps and some background paper from Funky Hand.

Lets Get Stamping 23rd Jan

These are the cards I made for the Lets Get Stamping sketchie challenge this week. The sketchie was set by GDT Cherry, who did a great job and came up with a twist that got me thinking- 'interlocking'. I decided to try stamping on some jigsaw diecuts which I have had for a while. These are the end results, although the photos aren't the best because the flash reflected off the shiny papers.

Lets Get Stamping 17th Jan

These are the cards I made last weekend for the Lets Get Stamping weekly sketchie challenge on Craftbubble.
