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.

So Sweet

White base card with red edge done with a Martha Stewart Punch. The Ribbon is from Poppicrafts. The stamp I bought from someone but not sure where it originates from. I layered it using Nesties and coloured the seeds of the strawberry with Promarkers.
Many thanks to Elizabeth for letting me know that my stamp is from the Magnolia Range.

Karen's Doodles - Bingo

Over at the Karens Doodles Challenge this week you had to choose a line from a bingo sketch. I have chosen the top line which is 'Buttons, Ribbon & Flowers'. The image is Karens Doodles 'Flower Girl' and you can buy it here.
I have coloured her with Promarkers. The sentiment is PC generated and everything else is from my stash.

Wedding Day

I was asked to make this wedding card and was not really sure if this is what they want but I am sure they will tell me if it is not. I think it is quite plain and simple and plenty of white space.
I started with a white base card and added a lilac layer. The sentiments were printed directly onto another layer of white card and I added lilac peel-offs to the corners. The ribbon is from the Fizzy Moon Collection and I have cut the shapes with nesties labels 4 and added some gems.

Black & White

I seem to be struggling with the Less is More challenge as I feel my card needs something else , maybe a sentiment but not sure where to place it. Maybe if I had made a different shaped card it might be better. Enough waffle. White base card with a plain black card layer. Image is from Habico stamped in momento ink and layered onto a silver star embossed card. I have added a white ribbon and bow made with my bowmaker. Not usually successful with it but I think it looks okay. Mandi and Chrissie make some fantastic card and I am certainly not it their league but I am trying!!! LOL!!! Any comments or suggestions would really be appreciated.

Reindeers

I have used a black base card and my new Mariane Creatable Dies. I have added a red gem to the reindeers nose and some red peel-offs around the sleigh and the reindeers neck. All the stars reindeer reigns and sentiment are from a silver peel off.
