Love At Christmas!



This card is for:-

1. Papertake Weekly - Sketch 22

2. C.R.A.F.T. - challenge # 14 - Embossing

3. Colour Create - Challenge # 26 - Ruby,Cream, Gold and Gems


I decided to do a Christmas card even though it wasn't needed for any of the challenges, as when I saw the colours for Colour Create, Ruby, Cream and Gold they seemed to suit a Christmas card to me. They also asked for us to use Gems as an optional extra, there's a tiny star gem on the i in the sentiment, then 3 gems in the corner and a heart above the boy and girl.

Papertake weekly gave another fabulous sketch, it was so easy to use and ideal for using again.
Finally C.R.A.F.T. wanted to see some embossing, so the cream card and the gold paper has been embossed with leaves, but isn't too clear on the photo.


Recipe:-


Stamps - Sarah Kay Christmas Magic, sentiment,


Papers - My minds eye,


Colouring Mediums - Distress inks, H2o's,


Tools - Fiskars texture plate, Sizzix snowflakes,


Embellishments - Gems, ribbon Anita's organza, Glamout dust,

A Mother's Day Card


This is my finished bookatrix card for my mum, it has three layers and contains several verses and images. I also used the majestic board for this card.

I used the cameo shapes from the majestic board and with time and patience managed to centre my verses into the cameos.

Then added images matted on gold card to go with the gold peel-offs.

Then I made a matching stand for the card to be displayed on.



Then came the matching gift box, this can make a gift in itself, it's not just a card.

I Love Red



I just love red, i'm trying to build up my rubber stamp collection and this is my new Penny Black stamp. The best wishes sentiment is from my Daisy and Dandelion collection, i have found them very versatile as they have extra embellishments and greetings on.

Daisy And Dandelion



I used a free download of Daisy and Dandelion from http://www.daisyanddandelion.blogspot.com/
My friend has just got a new house, but this image would be great for Anniversaries or birthdays and much more. I just love the new Daisy and Dandelion range.
