Simply Green


This is for the challenges at Crazy Amigo - use as little as possible to create a beautiful card and Wednesday Stamper where the challenge was 'Green'

Well, I used a pale green DL card, a stamp by Stampendous 'Agapanthus cluster',a sentiment and 2 dragonflies from a Penny Black set 'Salutations' and 2 inks Versafine 'Olympia Green'and VersaMagic 'Hint of Pesto' for this card. And that's it!

Going round in circles



This is for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge.

It's the first time I've ever made a circular card and I drew round a saucer for the basic card shape and then used some of my Nestabilities in my Cuttlebug to cut the smaller circles.

The little hedgehog is another one of the printed samples given me by Kath and I coloured it with Copic markers again. The 'Lots of Love' stamp was part of a freebie set from a craft magazine and I stamped it with Versafine 'Satin Red'. A little white ribbon bow and some sparkly dots finishes it off.

Doggy Love


This little ATC is for two challenges and is thanks to the lovely Kath who, after learning that so far I only have one Penny Black stamp, has sent me loads of stamped images to play with and this is my first play.

The two challenges are Arty Girlz and Penny Black Saturday Challenge and I think this fits both.

Obviously the image is a Penny Black stamp (!) which I coloured with Copic Ciao markers. I cut the frame on my Cuttlebug with a little multi-frame die, unfortunately I don't remember the make and it says nothing on it. The two little hearts were punched out of the same card stock as the frame and were then embellished with tiny black pearl stickers from my stash as was the frame.

Daisy Dots


This is my entry for the Penny Black Saturday Challenge and also for Cupcake Craft Challenge.

I only have one Penny Black stamp and this is it. It's called 'Garden Poems' so it inspired the title of the card 'Daisy Dots'.

I started with stamping the image in my favourite(at the moment!) Stazon colour - Stone Gray- and coloured it with Winsor & Newton watercolours. I then attached it to a piece of dark pink Alchemy card which had been embossed using the Cuttlebug 'Swiss Dots' folder using four little green brads to make it even dottier. The alphabet beads (which come from the ELC) are tied on with a piece of rainbow cord from my stash -- I was going to put 'DAISY DOTS' but I'd run out of' T's!

The green spotty paper was made with the help of PSP, and the final embellishment is a piece of pink twill ribbon from my stash and three little Papermania flowers and brads. The base card is pale pink Alchemy trimmed to fit.
