DT Challenge Card


This is a card I spent a long time deciding where the elements were going to go rather than my normal decide when I am ready for the next layer. This meant that the ribbon was attached behind the paper and looks better than normal and I could get the brad in the corner. This is very different to my normal Christmas card. I normally would use silver, white, red, green or gold. I've never used pink as the main colour so this was a nice change.

The sketch came from Sketch Saturday and the colour was from Die Cut Dreams both of whom are looking for members of their design team. I've never entered a competition for a design team place but thought that as my cards are getting better I should give it ago as you never know what could happen. I actually made a mistake with the sketch saturday and copied the wrong sketch for the DT. Nevermind I instead entered they normal entry. Unfortuntely as I left it too late I don't have time to make a new card as it would be rushed.

Paper: Silver Mirror Board (Anita's), Dark Pink Snowflake (Daisy & Dandelion Pack), Pink Gemstone Card
Image: Cherry Kisses from Pollycraft - coloured with normal pencils.
Extras: Buttons, Brads and Sentiment, silver ribbon - from stash

Birthday card

Here's my latest creation. It is very different to my usual make. I normally make very simple designs and try to keep it quite clear. This time I decided to change that. Some of the paper I used was RAK from a swap I hosted at crafts beautiful. I am entering 3 challenges with this one. The first is forever friends which is to follow the sketch this week. The 2nd is sophisicat's which is ribbon and buttons. The last challenge (but no means the least) is crafty cardmakers which is using a stamped image. I am delighted that crafty cardmakers put me in their top 3 last week with the autumn theme.

Saturday 31st December

Not done much crafting today spent it playing with the puppy. I've managed to turn the heel. I struggled with this mainly due to not reading the instructions properly. So read a few blogs to make sure I got it and then looked at the instructions and realised I had misread it all. Ah well all sorted now.

Pyramage Card and Fimo Animals

Image
I was bored last night and decided to do some crafting. I made my first ever card with an elegant lady. I love the colours of the background. I loved making the pyramage card as it looks great but is really simple when you can line up the parts. I finished this and got thinking that I like so many animal beads and they are normally glass but I thought I wonder if you can make them out of fimo. So I found some pictures as I need to see picture before I can create anything. I made the teddy bear first and then the cat. These are not cooked yet as I am going to make some more fimo before I put them in the oven so I am not wasting electricity
