It's been a while

..since I have made a card that is not for Christmas. I was playing around yesterday and came up with this CAS card. The bird is paper pieced, and the message is stamped between two scored lines.
The stamp set is by Hero Arts and I used Studio G ink pad.
I am entering
CASual Fridays - even the score
My Graffico - anything goes

Just for you

Sorry for my slightly crooked scan!!
I have based this card on one we did at class this week, as I really liked the style.
I cut a circle with my cb in a piece of white card, slightly smaller than the base card. Then embossed it with swiss dots EF, wrapped it with a piece of black & white ribbon. I then layered it with mounting tape, after stamping the words.
The flowers are from R & R Pocock Ltd, called lillies. I stamped it twice with Studio G - white and embossed with clear EP,and then coloured with Marvy markers.
I have made this for the challenge at The Play Date Cafe - black and white with a splash of maroon.

Ooh La La!!

The current Craftroom challenge is
 le Chic Francais
I have followed this theme by using 2 stamps from CHF - key elements,  and the Eiffel  tower is from a different set that I have lost the label from. The background paper is from a lilybee pad called victoria park, and then layered on to a black card base.

Chic!!

This weeks challenge at the Cuttlebug spot is to use a feather.
I have added one here to highlight the lovely hat on the model.
The stamp is from Kanban and I embossed it with gold.

I will also enter this in the anything goes challenge at Emergency Crafters

Cute Christmas

The challenge this month at Penny Black Saturday is for Cute Christmas.
I have used a PB stamp and coloured it with Promarkers and copics. I have added dimensional magic to the baubles to make them lovely and shiny. I layered on to dark blue, then a blue stripe paper, and then on to white card. Finished off with a peeloff and some stars

Cool and Festive Sparkles

I am afraid my scan does not show the beautiful gold 'sparkliness' of this card. It looks so much nicer in real life!!
I stamped the music background (CI 194) with Encore gold and then spritzed with Glimmer Mist iridescent gold.
The lovely girl was stamped with Brilliance lightning black and then trimmed. I added some wings which were printed on velum, and the circular message was layed on a scalloped circle, edged with gold glitter glue.

I would like to enter in this month's challenge at Crafty Individuals for festive sparkles
and also at Charisma Cards for cool colours

Cold and Frosty

The challenge at Joanna Sheen is for 'Cold and Frosty'
I printed the image and attached it to the blue card, which I enhanced with DI 'broken china' and stamped snowflakes in silver. The message is embossed in silver ep, cut out with a die, and edged in silver pen.
