Flowers, Pearls and Swirls

I have used an image from addicted to stamps and really enjoyed colouring her in.

I have used pro markers and some cosmic shimmer pearl glue.  The border is a memory box die

Creative Expressions DT Call Challenge... Texture

Hi

Creative Expressions are having a design team call and i thought i would give it a go - i get such a lot of pleasure from my crafting and have met some lovely people through my blogging etc.

Part of the call is to create a piece of work incorporating texture.  My Entry is below


I have use an embossing folder to create a textured background which is layered onto two pieces of background paper.

I stamped the sentiment from the Button Florals set and cut it out using a nestability die, i have used another die to cut the pieces for each corner. I have cut a spray of flowers from the design paper and have added some gems throughout.

The design team call is here

I am really happy with the finished card

Allsorts Challenge - Week 166 A Recipe

Hi All

Well its time for my first challenge at Allsorts (and i feel a bit like i am starting a new school :o))

I hope you have all been enjoying the Olympics.

So down to business...... 

The challenge this week is set by Nicola at Allsorts and its a recipe, this week you have to use 2 stamps, 3 flowers and 1 paper.

This is my card



The image is from digistamp boutique and is called Cocoa and Roses, this is my first use of a digi image and i have to say i enjoyed myself. The background paper i chose is from a first edition pad which i think is called isabelle, i have used nesties to cut out the image and its mount and have distressed the image with spun sugar distress ink.  I die cut the flowers and added some gems to tie in the themes together, the greeting stamp has been put on a scalloped nestie and i have used gems on the circle.  I added some ribbons and pins and job done!

This weeks sponsor is digistamp boutique


Hope you enjoy this weeks challenge and i look forward to coming round to see how you interpret this weeks challenge

Happy Crafting
