'Plain Sailing'

Today's card was using the 'case it' sample at
Penny Black Saturday challenge
I have chosen to use a stickeroo from the Vintage Sailing Set. It is layered onto cream card, and then stuck on with mounting tape to the background. I have used ric-rac to cover the colour join, and also inked the edges of the sentiment with red ink.
I would also like to enter at Cards For Men for 'Seeing Red'
and Here Come the Boys 
for favourite song - Sailing, Rod Stewart

Whoopsi Daisy with bling

I have used this weeks freebie download to make this card. The cute wee girl is coloured with Faber-Castell watercolour pencils, the shape is a nestie one that I adjusted to fit, the papers are from my stash, and I have added Kindy-glitz around the white oblong and some other sparkly bits down the side
This is for this weeks challenge at

Red, Grey and White


Today's card is in CAS style. I have printed congratulations in red on my computer, then used a piece of beautiful grey metallic paper, which looks like lace, then finished with a piece of felt ribbon which was in a parcel that I won from Audrey (Hippieaud)

'tagging'

The challenge this week at
 http://thecraftbarnblog.blogspot.com/
is to make a tag using colours from the colour wheel. I have tried to use analagous colours, and used oil pastels for the colouring, which I then blasted with my heat gun.
Stamps used:
Stampin Up (bird)
Hero Arts (script)
The Artistic Stamper (dots)
