Add a Sentiment

Hello - hope your week has been great so far.

We are having another very warm 30 Degrees day today and the warm weather will be around for a few more days yet.

It seems so funny to be talking about this warm weather when I have created a card for the new challenge at Holly Jolly and I have used an image from Lacy Sunshine called Snowy Days Rory.

So the snow is falling on my card but definitely not here in Sydney.

Our challenge theme is of course Christmas and Add a Sentiment

Our sponsor is Lacy Sunshine.

I have created a fairly CAS card and added some snowflakes and sequins from the retired SU Frosted Sequins Embellishments.

The paper used is scraps from my stash and the cardstock used is SU Night of Navy, Sahara Sand and Xpress It Blending cardstock.

Here is my card: 

The sentiment is from the SU Festive Fireplace stamp set and reads: 

"Sending you wishes for a warm and bright Christmas Season"

Here is a close up of the image:

Just a quick post I would like to share with you for our new challenge at Come and Get It.

A super theme and I had a lovely time creating my card for this challenge.

Our theme: Mixed Media

Our Sponsors; SLS Lines and Crafty Sentiments

I have used an SLS Lines image called Goth Girl with Top Hat and coloured the image in with Copic Markers.

The colours used were inspired by the paper I used by Bo Bunny "Baby Bump Oh Baby", the other papers used are various sorts from my stash.

The mixed media used was feathers, frantage (Shabby White, Aged Ochre, Aged Teal and Marine), Chipboard (Scrapmatts CB1089 Clocks 05) and feathers.

Here is my card: 

I added Frantage to the paper and the black cardstock behind the image. The image was hand cut out and then added the black cardstock with dimensionals.

The layout for the card was inspired by Paper Play Sketches.

Here is their sketch: 

The sentiment is from the SU Hostess Stamp Set Floral Wings and has been stamped in Tangerine Tango.

The dies used were from SU Circles die set.

Hello again.

This is a very exciting post to share with you.

Yes I was asked to be a Guest Designer at Creative Craft Cottage
on their current challenge which beings today.

The theme is: Tag Your It

The Sponsor is: Robyn's Fetish

I have used a lovely image from Robyn's Fetish called Dragonfly Day which has been coloured in with Copic Markers.

Once the image was coloured, I cut out the flower and the dragonfly to place them separately on my card.

I used a fun paper for the background which inspired my Copic Colours used.  The paper is by Fab{u}lous Simple Stories collection.

The cardstock used is SU Chocolate Chip, Old Olive, So Saffron.  The ribbon was from my stash SU Crumb Cake and Island Indigo.

For the Tag on my card I used a laser tag I had and layered some paper on top, folded over a corner added a peg and some ribbon and then added the flower image on top.

Here my card:

The dragonfly was added so he looked like he was just flying about. I also added some pearls to his wings.

The lace and pearls were from my stash and the sentiment is from SU A Dozen Thoughts.

The punches used were SU Small Oval and Eyelet Border.

Here is a close up of the Tag:
