White on White take 2 !

I had time on my hands so decided to make another card for the Christmas Kickstart Challenge "White on White"  For this card I used the Holiday Frame die from Simon Says Stamp and the Snowflake Ornament die from Memory Box.

I cut 4 of the ornament dies and layered up two for each.  Next I cut the frame die and added a background that I had embossed with falling snow. I then added some sparkle to each dot with a sparkly Gel pen. Next I added the ornaments and trimmed with bows and pearls.

 Although quite plain in colour their is a lot of shimmer on this card.

My Christmas box is filling up nicely now and its only mid September, such a great challenge.

CAS Birthday!!

I am trying to stretch my stamps and dies at the moment and came up with this CAS card using Simon Says "Spring Flowers" stamp set.  I stamped and embossed in silver the largest flower  three times and some leaves and then coloured with Zig Markers and fussy cut the images.  I then layered up the three flowers to create a larger flower adding some pearls for sparkle. Layered onto my base card with the Memory Box  "Tessatina" die.  The sentiment is by Hero Arts.

I shall add this card to the Love handmade cards Flickr Group challenge and the Simon Says Flickr Group challenge.

I shall also add this to the Die Cut Divas Challenge "April Showers brings May Flowers"
Thanks for the heads up Arlene!

Looking forward to a long weekend here and the weather forecast is sunny and warm Yeah!!!  Hope is good where you are,

Hugs

More Christmas Cards

Another card for the Simon Says Wednesday Challenge this week "CAS Christmas".  I have used my Memory Box dies to create this card and added a watercolour background and some glitter for added sparkle.

Also I have had another go at this card using a different colour for the background, making it "sunny" rather than night!

Hope you are enjoying your weekend.

More Christmas Cards!

Two more cards (Still loads to do)  This card has the words embossed in metallic gold (hard to see in the photo)  so I am adding it to the challenge at "Virginia's View.  Its good to be making challenge cards again , I really missed being tested with my designs! I am also adding it to the Hero Arts holiday challenge "Mad about Metallics"

This second card used the Hero Arts Winter Town stamp plus my memory box die.  I have added lots of shimmer with my Wink of Stella" pen although it doesn't show in the photo.

Thank you for all the good wishes I have received, hopefully I am on the mend now!

Spring Flowers.

I saw this new challenge  at AtoZ Scrapbooking mentioned on the Hero Arts Flickr page and thought I would have a go, the theme is How Does Your Garden Grow.  At the moment my garden, and my neighbors gardens are full of beautiful spring flowers, so I pulled out my Hero Arts stamp "Blooming Meadow" and inked it up with my Distress Markers.  The dies are from Simon Says and Memory Box.  I decided to add my coloured panel slightly off centre to show off the Memory Box die.

I am also entering this into the May challenge at Stamping Sensations Blog."Anything Goes"

Here in the UK its been a long Bank Holiday weekend and the weather has been fabulous, so I am off now to sit in my garden!!

Happy Birthday

 Its been a very busy week, the last week of the Spring Term at school and I now have two weeks holiday to look forward to. I am hoping the weather is fine as my garden is needing a tidy up after the winter!!

Yesterday I had fun playing with my Copic markers and some Blending Solution to create this background for my Memory Box dies.  I am adding this to the challenge at ABNH which is "Build a Background". This card is also for the Simon Says Birthday challenge. 

Hope you all have a fun weekend.

Just Playing!!

I have had time to have a play with my stamps and dies today and this is the card I have made.  I have used my Memory Box "Ringo Tile" die to create the fancy edge to the top card. An idea I have seen on Debby's  Blog and was keen to try myself.  Love the effect!!

The weather has got a bit warmer here again, Spring is definitely in the air!!

More Snowflakes!!

Another card using the beautiful Snowflake die from Memory Box, I have used it on so many cards this year!!  I am entering this into the CASolgy Snowflake challenge.

Also the Die Cut Divas " Lets Celebrate" Challenge.

It also qualifies for the new Simon Says Challenge "Let it Snow"" I am counting down the days to the school holidays, its been such a busy term and I need to recharge my batteries!!!  Hopefully we are having a quiet Christmas!  I still have loads to do before then and still cards to make!!
