Hi this is my card for Daring Cardmakers challenge. The challenge to use traditional gold and silver. I am now onto the Thank you cardmaking! This is a thank you card I made. It is made with Mirrorboard that I have embossed to make it look corrugated. I then added some squares of patterned paper matted with silver mirrorboard. I die cut the heart tag added some ribbon and made a thank you sentiment.

Daring cardmakers - Ten minute Christmas card

Hi, here is my ten minute card for Daring cardmakers challenge. I made the backing paper last year using my graphics program ( now obselete since computer crashed big time). I cut out a square from some wrapping paper and matted and layered to make the topper and added some peel offs. Just had a diagnosis for my OH he has Inflammatory Polyarthritis. He has had the medication bumped up again. At least the rheumatologist seemed helpful this time around. He spent 6 hours waiting at the hospital. If anyone prays please pray for him!

Papertake Weekly

Here is a christmas card I have made for the papertake weekly challenge Kathrina's sketch.

2sketches 4 you Lauras sketch #8

I love this sketch so easy to work with. Inspiration from DT excellent. I had the most fun making this card. I used card stock, leaf embellishments and papers from a lets make cards magazine. I made the butterfly papers using chalks, glimmer mists a stencil and pen. I then added some ribbon. I beaded some wire for the antenne of the butterfly.

Arty Girlz Challenge #51 Inspired by something in the home

I love this mousemat I designed recently and had printed by bonusprint. I made this paper mache bowl and have been waiting for my new acrylic paints to arrive so I can paint it. I have painted it using antique copper. I designed a backing paper using the motif on the mousemat. I then printed the backing paper onto vellum and then attatched it to the painted paper mache bowl. I added a layer of PVA glue to seal the bowl and then a glaze of varnish. I am not sure if I want to add a chain or not so for the moment here it is without the chain. I am also going to add some pot pourri. Great fun and a big mess doing this challenge!

I have created this card for two challenges. The first challenge is the Sarah Kay challange. Boy what a beautiful sketch to work with. I also created this for the Kaboodle Doodle challenge blog which has a theme of dotty this week. I created some dotty paper, getting very messy whilst doing so! I love it! I kept to a very basic colour scheme. I think this compliments this card. I stamped this gorgeous Sarah kay stamp and created her outfit by stamping onto a paper I created. I added a flower made from elusive image stamps. and a little sequin. I just had the most fun with this!
