It's TREND WEEK at Just Us Girls

 

Once again it is Trend Week over at

Just Us Girls and hosting this challenge is

Sue and she has chosen for us

a super trend that is really BIG at the moment

Stacked Die Cuts.

 

When I first saw this I didn't own any die cut sentiments so

of course as all crafters do - went out and bought some.

 

Here is what I used on my card -

White/coloured card stock

DP - First Edition Desert Blooms

Stampin' Up Punch

Sizzix Banners

Sentiment - Gina K Designs

Kaisercraft Pearls

Crochet cotton

HAPPY die cut - Heidi Swapp

(cut 3 times in different colours)

 ***

Funny enough we did a card at class some time ago

which was perfect for this challenge

so I asked our Instructor Tania from

 Paperandme2 (Facebook Page)

if I could use it and she agreed. Thanks so much.

I know she would love it if you visited her site.

She is so talented.

Products used are Stampin' Up and die cuts.

 

So there you have it - 2 cards for this weeks challenge.

with us for our Stacked Die Cuts Challenge.

My Favourite Flower is ...

 

For the current challenge over at

As you Like It 

We are asked to  make something with your

Favourite Flower and say Why.

 

So I got to make a card with my favourite flower

A THISTLE - and WHY?

I was born in Scotland and the Thistle has always held a

special place for me. I know it is a weed but when that purple

softness comes out I think they are so lovely.

 

Here is a card I made for this challenge.

The thistle is a digital image

and I highlighted the main flower by

colouring in and added glossy accents

which hasn't shown up.

I used a Tim Holtz embossing folder for

the background some ribbon

a few pearls rounded the corner

and sentiment is from Inspired by Stamping.



It's SKETCH TIME at Try Stampin' Or Not on Tuesday

 

 

Once again it is time to post my card for the new

Sketch Challenge over at Try Stampin' Or Not On Tuesday

and here is my interpretation

Designed by Crystal

from

 

I did add 5 stamped images as I wanted to use all of

them as I thought they all went together.

I don't have who this little stamp set is from - shame.

 

It is a really cas card using red black and white card stock.

I inked the images in Memento Love Letter

The Live it Up is from that same set and

the bigger sentiment is from

Cas-ual Fridays Stamps

I added a row of red gemstones after I embossed the sizzix border

  around the sentiment and also on the shoe and handbag

to finish off.

It's WIW Colour Challenge Time at The House

I recently won the monthly prize over at

The House that Stamps Built

and couldn't wait to ink my new stamps up.

How lucky for me as the colour challenge suited

one of my stamps perfectly.

 

 

I am getting this card in by the skin of my teeth as it closes shortly.

The stamp from Repeat Impressions is Lily of the Valley 4308.

I used white and coloured card stock

(which photographed a lot darker than it is) 

 and a piece of scrap DP

and Spellbinder Die for the focal point of my coloured image.

The tiny flowers I dotted with Flamingo Liquid Pearls.

Added some lace a little bow and tiny sentiment to finish.

I know I hurried this card to get it finished in time but hope

to do give this lovely stamp the justice it deserves next time I ink it.

 

 

Thanks for dropping by

Till next time
