Simon Says Stamp combined with Truely scrumptious

Hello I have made this card using 2 challenges Simon says stamp has a theme of Happy Mail. Please pop over there as they are asking us to make a card for post pals a very worthy charity that you must go and checkout.
The sketch is from Truely scrumptious who also ask us to dig out old stash and stamps to make our cards.
I used my cute Messy rabbit stamps by Joanna Sheen (had those a while and not used them) . I used an old Basic Grey paper " Cupcakes", some old buttons got used too.
I kept the card quite bright as it will be for a child. Now just need to put this on the challenge blog then off to pick a recipient.

Thank God it is Friday! Stumped a bit this week, about what to do for the Think monday Think ATC challenge, which has a dance theme. Thought about it and thought Autumn colours influence me quite a lot, the backgrounds have a middle eastern feel to them and I came up with this set of ATC's. I am going to submit this for Thank God it's Friday aswell as I got the idea today and their challenge is a free theme.

Here is a bit taken from Wikipedia to explain belly dance technique and the reasoning behind my backgrounds that I created using acrylic paint and stamps. I kept the collage very straight forward.

Most of the basic steps and techniques used in belly dancing involve circular motions isolated to a certain part of the body. For example, a circular movement "drawn" parallel to the floor by the hips alone, or by the shoulders alone. Accents such as "pop and lock," where a dancer either shimmies or makes a striking motion with their shoulders or hips, are common, as are feats of flexibility, rolling one's belly muscles, balancing various props like baskets, swords or canes, and dancing with chiffon or silk veils.

Sounds like hardwork! I am a bit shy so I wouldn't like exposing my belly.

Thank God it's Friday - Birthday card

I have made this card for the challenge. I used chalks, shape cutters, Stamps, pens, paper and ribbons. I was practising techniques and this is what happened. i thought the colours suit the season we are in.

Hi I found this challenge blog today and loved the theme women. So I created this little ATC. I love the image of eve and I used some glimmer mist mixed with PVA glue to create a minimal background. You can't see very well but I printed a tree. I added the forbidden fruit and Eve and this marvellous quote. So true hey girls! Sorry any boys out there. Sorry photography not too hot on this one. My first ATC swap I have swapped this with Crissi from the Arty girlz challenge.
