Paper Artsy Challenge

I am following the challenge this week at
Paper Artsy.
The guest is Joanne Wardle, and I find her ideas very inspiring. I have tried to follow the instructions for the first day, but do not have any leaf dies - so used this flower instead. I am quite pleased with the result, it looks better IRL!

A lazy week

There has not been much happening in my craft room this week, as we have had a visitor.
This card idea was taken from a cardmaking magazine, and I have used snippets down the left side and edged with a dotty piece. The compass was from the kit which came with the mag.
I have just got time to slip this one into
Pixie's  playground - (the compass may come in handy!!)

Lovely lace

Today's card features a gorgeous stamp from Indigo Blu called Elizabeth Bennet, which I bought when I was in the UK earlier this year. I have stamped it twice and coloured and cut out the flowers from the second image, then layered them on top . I added a little sparkle to the centres, and added a piece of old lace to the lower edge.
I would like to enter this in the challenge at
Crafts and Me - lovely lace

Happy Birthday

This card (CASed from Beccy, Scrappin and Stampin in GJ)  has been stamped with bundled sage DI and a stamp from my JoFy set. I overlapped and bent them a bit. Next I stamped the sentiment on a snippet of green card, and cut a snippet from a piece that had been sprayed with Dylusions to match the red flowers. Added some liquid pearls in the centres.

Stamp and Create - birthdays

Buttons!

I have been following the posts at PaperArtsy and have been inspired by Liz Borer and her amazing projects. I have followed her suggestions and made some shrink plastic buttons. The first 2 sets are made with JoFy stamps, and the third one is actually a button stamp. I have coloured them with pencils, Promarkers, and Copics. I found a button card on pinterest, printed it 3 times, coloured with chalks, and edged with a gold Fiskars pen.

Monochrome

Today's card features a lovely stamp from TH, stamped with walnut stain DI onto a piece of kraft card. I have layered it with a deeper brown, and also the 2 embossed oblongs in the corners. The other 2 pieces were some snippets left over from another project. Finished off with some black 'gems'

I love the splash of colour with the paint swipe!
