Great-Grandaughters 1st Christmas

I have had this pink snowflake card in my stash for years!!!!.  Really must use up my stash more.  The image is a freebie from this month's Papercraft Essentials magazine and I have coloured it with Promarkers. I have layered into a pale pink shimmer paper and cut with nesties. The sentiment was printed on the PC and I have cut around it with scissors. The branches are punched from a Nellie Snellen Punch. The flowers and ribbon are both from my stash. As I have used all different shades of Pink I am entering this into -
Stamping for the Weekend Challenge No. 16 'Tickled Pink'

Seeing Double 2nd Entry

Well this is my second entry for the Less is More Challenge.  The stamp is from Stampin Up and I stamped it in silver and then in black.  I added the green at the bottom of the trees with green ink pad and a paint brush. The Butterflies and sentiment are from a Penny Black Collection 'Teddy & Co'.  Not really keen on this one but I think it fits the challenge.

Seeing Double Take Two

Well for the Less is More Challenge this week I used this stamp to make my card but have to own up to making a mess the first time round as I smudged the ink.  I turned it over and made my card for the challenge as you can see in my earlier post.   I then cut it up to make a topper for this card.  I layered it onto some mirror card and then added it to an embossed A5 card.  I added some peel off corners and some silver card candy to finish it off.  I think this is better than wasting my original card - don't you?

Seeing Double

Over at 'Less is More' this week the challenge is 'One Layer - Seeing Double'  I have used a base white card with a stamp that has not seen daylight for a while.  I have stamped it twice and coloured it with Promarkers. The Sentiment is a stamp that has a flower at the start but I masked it out so that only the sentiment shows up.  I have added a ribbon from the Dovecraft range as the card looked a bit bare.  I hope this is okay for this challenge.

Metallic Christmas

Don't get much crafting done with PC being on the blink so I am still using my laptop.  Its time for 'Less is More' Challenge again and I like the idea of the 'Metallic' theme.  I have used a white base card and I have rubbed my silver ink pad all over the edges.  I have added a white layer embossed with a Snowflakes Embossing Folder and a Merry Christmas Embossing Folder. The ribbon is from Dovecraft Range.  I have used a silver foil  baking tray for the Snowflakes and they are cut with a Marianne Creatible Die.

Engagement

My son and his girlfriend announced their engagement last Saturday so I decided to make a special card for them. I have used a white base card with all the elements from my stash. I printed the sentiment form the PC and layered it onto the shapes cut with nesties. I am really pleased at the engagement so I hope they like this card.

Colours of our Nations Flag

I just love these challenges at 'Less is More' and this week it's brilliant. You have to make a card showing the colour of your Nations Flag. Coming from 'Scotland', I have chosen a white base card with a blue organza ribbon from Hobbycraft. The Sentiment and the image are from Woodware 'Scottish Wishes' set. I have had this set for a while and never used it so this was and ideal chance. I have cut the image and the tartan backing paper out with nesties and raised them off the card with sticky pads. Check out Mandi and Chrissie's blogs to see their cards.
