Good Luck

My friend has her PhD viva this Thursday and so I made a card yesterday to wish her luck.  I will enter this into this weeks Willow Sketchie (sketch), I love Promarkers (bunting), and Passion for Promarkers (lace and swirls) challenges.

Sweet Litlle Girl

This weeks DCD challenge is to make a roject with a digi sweet little girl image. I have dug out my Willow Designs CD and used the 'Presicious' image along with the dark pink spotty and dark pink stripy papers. I will also enter the card into this weeks Pear Tree Designs challenge (pink) and Passion for Promarkers challenge (photo inspiration- spotty pink and girly). The image is coloured with PMs and printed on photo paper for a glossy look.

F is for 'Frosty'

This time on ABC Christmas the challenge is to make a project with the theme 'f is for frosty' and the twist was snow. I was a bit confused as to whether 'frosty' meant a snowman (I think it means this more in USA), or whether it could just mean cold, frosty scenes. I covered all bases I think by adding snowmen on the ribbon and a little snowman embellishment.I really liked this Willow Design download when I saw it first last June (I think) on LGS DT cards one week. I thought it was the perfect excuse to buy it and use it on this card. I have used the sketch from this weeks WSC so that I can link it to their blog too, since it is one of Sharon's designs.

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.

Missy from Willow Designs!

I made this card using the sketch from last weeks Lets Get Stamping challenge and the new download from Willow Designs, Missy. (I made it this morning because I wanted to do some crafting but couldn't log on to check out the new LGS sketchie challenge- why does the internet always go awol at the weekend?) Missy is great and I will be using her again!
