Numbers!

I was asked by someone at work to make an 18th shaker card for her niece and thought that this is great timing as the challenge at My Time to Craft is numbers this week. As with one of my Christmas cards I have cut the card along the pre scored line and reattached it with ribbon (I have decided that I really like the effect that this gives!) The backround paper is from personal impressions and I added self adhesive gems for the 18! I hope this is what she is looking for (she did ask for girly!!!)

Another Christmas Card

Another Christmas card for you. I got the idea for this card while flicking through an old magazine while waiting in the doctors surgery. I chopped up a 5x5 card blank and reattached it at the top with ribbon and covered it with last years American Crafts Xmas paper (I cant remember the name of it though I'm afraid!) Then used a piece of round chipboard and covered it in some brown pearlised paper and drew the icing, the berries and the leaves freehand. I really think that its a fun Xmas card and I will be making more like this! I think that I will enter it into the Artistic Stamper blog challenge, which is Christmas in July!

ATC Challenge

This week I was asked by Shazzapat to set the theme for Florries ATC challenge. I thought that I would think of something a bit different for this weeks challenge so after some thought I decided on a "2 colour challenge" with no black or white. I love this paper from the oriental dovecraft theme and thought that the ribbon and the chipboard toppers looked great with it. (My colours are obviously purple and green!)
