A Get Well Wish

I have a friend who has been unwell for some time and every now and again I like to cheer her up by sending her a 'hand made card'. 

I found a couple of challenges I could use this card for so decided to put my entry in.

The winner of this week's challenge over at  Friends of Speedy TV will become the proud owner of the set called 

I'm in Stitches. 

What we needed to do for this week's challenge was to create a card with the theme

 Something that Moves. 

I haven't made a moving card for quite some time so it was nice to make something a little different. 

PS The butterflies are an extra as they move too lol.

Here it is - the inside pulls out

to show you the message.

I used the following products - 

Basic cream card stock

Desert Blooms Designer Paper by 1st Edition

Spellbinders Fancy Tags

Sizzix Embosslits Beautiful Wings

Gina K stamps for flowers and sentiments - 

Assorted Greetings & Dogwood & Butterfly

Distress Ink - Victorian Velvet

Kaisercraft Pearls

Own Ribbon

Added a little Dimentional Magic to the centres and edges of the flowers.

These are the 2 challenges I am entering this card for -

Designer's Choice over at The House that Stamps Built

Over at The House that Stamps Built 

one of the current challenges is to 

Brayer or Sponge.

The stamp they are featuring this week is Daffodils 904 L which is 50% off for blog readers. I was lucky enough I had recently purchased this stamp and just had to mount it and then get inky.

Check out the link below for all the information.

http://www.thehousethatstampsbuilt.com/designers-choice-challenge/dcc313-brayering-or-sponging/

This is what I came up with - 

I started off with basic white card stock and heat embossed the daffodil image in black twice - once for the base and the other for the top. Coloured the leaves with Memento Pistachio and the daffodils with Memento Dandelion and Peanut Brittle. Both these colours were used to sponge around the image and also the base card. The sentiment is from Gina K. Added Kaisercraft pearls to the Sizzix Beautiful Wings butterflies and Crystal Effects to the 3 main flowers.

Thanks for looking. Ina.

MFP Inspirational Challenge #2

The photos below are for the Inspirational Challenge over at 

Mark's Speedy TV.

I made my card for this challenge thinking I would give it to my sister 

who was celebrating her 40th wedding anniversary. 

 I wasn't happy with it for that occasion and as I was born in Scotland anything with tartan is a favourite of mine so I decided it would be perfect for my other sister and am going to give it to her for her birthday.
The red & white nails were my inspiration.

I used the following items on this card - 

Basic white card stock

Embossing folder Antique Flourish from MPress

Tartan DP from Boofle

MS Punch

Cuttlebug die which I embossed

Sentiment is from Gina K Dogwood & Butterflies

Kaisercraft pearls

Own ribbon

There are plenty of challenges over at MFP so check them out at http://mfpspeedytv.ning.com/

Thanks for taking the time to check out my latest upload.
