Two Challenges.....a sketch and using dies and punches.

Hello, on this gorgeous, sunny holiday weekend, I hope it's sunny where you are. I'm back today with a bright, summery card to match my mood.

I'm using this week's sketch from Sunday Sketch and Stamp and also joining in with The Craft Place Challenge.

Here's my card.

I used some pretty, summery colour papers from Basic Grey, stitching around the edges. I die cut a scalloped circle and plain circle, stamping a sentiment from Inspired by Stamping Trendy Circle Sentiments and a couple of flowers from Spring Blossoms. I die cut a couple of flowers in felt from Tim Holtz Tattered Floral, stitching a button to the centre, I also die cut a couple of felt leaves, to finish it off.

Supplies
Stamps- IBS Spring Blossoms, Trendy Circle Sentiments.
Papers- Basic Grey Gypsy.
Other- Felt, Buttons, SU Border Punch, Crochet Trim

Enjoy the rest of your day, we are off for a walk along the river, making the most of the gorgeous weather.

Mojo Monday #293.....

Hello there, did you all have a good weekend? I'm back today with this week's sketch from Mojo Monday.

Here's my interpretation of the sketch.

 

I loved this sketch as soon as I saw it and knew straight away I'd be using the gorgeous banner stamps from Inspired by Stamping. I went with half a doily and one of my favourite frame stamps, instead of the circles, adding a bow and flower to my frame.

Supplies

Stamps- Whimsical Banners, Fancy Labels 18, Birthday Greetings.

Papers- Prima.

Pretties- IBS Seam Binding, IBS Flower.

Thanks for stopping by, today.

Addicted to CAS Challenge #1...........A Snowy Christmas Wreath Card.

Hello Guys, I hope you all had a good weekend, I wanted to let you all know that there is a new challenge blog that started up on Saturday, it's called Addicted to CAS and as the name suggests, it's all about clean and simple.
My lovely friend Joanna is the Guest Designer and is also sponsoring this month's challenges, this week you could win a $20 gift card for the Inspired by Stamping Store.

This week's challenge is SNOW. 

I used my new Penny Black stamp that I got from the craft show last week for the bargain price of £1,  that's what I call a bargain !!!!!
I added some mica flakes and glitter to the wreath for the snowy effect, I love to see snow on my wreath that hangs on my front door, not that it snows very often at Christmas in the U.K. I also added some little red gems for the berries.It was really hard to get a photo that showed up the "snow" but I hope you can see it is there, IRL, you can see it better.
I think I might be making more CAS cards now I've found this new challenge site, I created 6 of these cards in the time it would take me to create one of my normal style cards.

Supplies
Stamps- Penny Black, IBS Christmas Greetings.
Pretties- Hobby House rhinestones, MF mica flakes, SU glitter.

Thanks for stopping by.
