Stitched Swans

 

First of all, a big welcome to my newest follower, Meg Patterson, thank you for joining

A last minute entry for the challenge at Creative Knockouts, where they have asked for 'all stitched up'

I have used a lovely sparkly black thread for this design, but it doesn't show in my scan. The edges are sponged with black soot DI and attached to a white base card.

I would also like to enter at Carlin's Card Paradise Challenge for a/g

Happy Happy Happy

 

I am back today with a card for the Stay Crafty/Hero Arts challenge.

They are wanting cards representing 'another year older'

I stamped 'happy' 3 times on the left, and then cut nine circles with my cuttlebug in two sizes. After layering them I added some little stickers, and glitter on the dark edges.

These were attached to a piece of dp and edged with a scrap of cotton ribbon

Snowman

 

Another entry for the BYSHCardmakers linky party

The snowman is a die from Creative Expressions, which I cut from a soft pearl card, and adhered to the red base. I ran a narrow piece of ds tape down the left edge and sprinkled with holographic glitter. A peeloff finished it off

Summer Birthday

 

Hi there crafty friends

Today's card was made using one of the first stamp sets that I bought (more than 20 years ago)

I stamped with Memento and coloured with markers as follows

Promarkers - praline and pastel beige

Copics - ultramarine and lipstick orange

Creative Graphics - green bice

I used a stitched circle die to cut it out and layered onto a stitched edge DP. Then added a peeloff coloured with the ultramarine

Hi there

I cut this design from Special Heart Studio using my Silhouette Cameo and some snippets from my scrap box. I love the CAS style of it

Christmas in July

 

Hi everyone and welcome 

There are a lot of Christmas in July challenges at the moment, so I made this card to enter some of them

I have used the sketch from BYSHC and some scraps from a SU pad

My Snowy is from a Penny Black set called holly-jolly and I coloured him with toning markers. The sentiment is a peeloff which I coloured
