Cards Galore - Challange. Vintage Ribbons Lace and Buttons

Hi all and welcome to my crafty blog.


today posts is my DT card for the  Cards Galore  challenge Vintage Ribbons Lace and Buttons which starts today 1 September. Our sponsors for this challenge is the wonderful Scrappers Delights and the prize is a voucher to spend in their store!

Janice, from Scrapper's Delights, designed some fabulous vintage digital stamp, especially for the design team to use for this challenge. And what's more, from today you will be able purchase them from their store, Scrappers Delights store.

 

Who has kindly given us a $5 voucher for the winner to spend at there store!!!

 

 

My card was made using one of the specially designed digi stamps from the Scrappers Delights called Holly Hobbie Set 1.

The image was printed onto white cardstock and coloured using watercolour paints. I tried to keep the colours soft  to create the vintage look needed. I punched the image using a scalloped circle punch and highlighted the edges with Distress Ink in Tumbled Glass. The base card is a 5x5 inch tentfold card with blue-green patterned paper panel wrapped with a band of lace and adhered to the front of the card. I then used a Nelly Snellen die to make the deep pink scalloped circle and adhered it , slightly off-centre, to the card.  The coloured image was popped up on some foam adhesive and place in the centre of the card. To finish the card I stamped the sentiment 'Friends Always' from Verve Stanps onto a smaller scalloped circle and used it as the centre of a pink flower.

The DT at Cards Galore have created some beautiful projects using this and other digital stamps from the Holly Hobbie set. Don't forget to pop over here check these fab projects out .

Happy Bird_Day!- Crafty Bloggers Network Challenge

Hello and welcome to my crafty blog,

today is the start of the new challenge over at the Crafty Bloggers Network and the theme is  'Happy Bird-day! '.

Happy Bird-Day!

Here is my DT card for the challenge. The image, stamped in black ink, was coloured using my Copic markers. The image was then cut out and adhered to the blue /green backing created with the backing papers. I made the frame from a Nellie Snellen die and carefully cut the centre out to make the frame. Some thin green organza ribbon was threaded around the frame and tied in a bow at the bottom. The card was finished with three pink paper fowers and a butterfly button as embellishments and teh sentiment was printed with my PC abd added to the top of the card.


There are lots of ideas and inspiration over at the Crafty Bloggers Network so pop over and take a peek and maybe join in.

Irish Dancer -Stamp n Doodle Challgenge

Hi All,

the March 'Stamp of the Month' Challenge starting today over at. Stamp n Doodle is a motif close to my heart, an Irish Dancer. It brings back memories of the dancing classes attended as a child, filled with lots of laugher, music and fun.

My DT card was made uing a 5x5' orange cardbase onto which I matted a dark green cardstock square. The cailín. (girl) a digital stamp from designer Teagan at Stamp n Doodle, was printed onto white cardstock and cut out using a Nellie Snelling scalloped die. The image was coloured using Tombow waterbased markers.


The flourish embellishments were die-cut using the Sizzlits Decorative Strip die. I finished the card with a hand-made rosette made using orange satin and green and white ribbon, with a yellow and orange paper flower at the centre.  The sentiment,  printed from my computer onto white card and attached to the card with dimensional adhesive, completed the card.

In comparison to the vibrant colours used in todays Irish Dancing Costums my colours are very traditional and I OK with that. You can take the girl out of Ireland,  but you can't take Ireland out of the girl.
