Gerbera tag

    For this fortnight the Crafty Cardmakers would like you to create a tag.

   I have used a digi from Beccy's Place called Gerbera frame. After colouring it using Chameleon and Promarker pens I cut it out using a Tattered Lace reflections tag die and matted it onto white card. I then added a bee cut using a Tattered Lace die and two strips of ribbon.

Flying school

    The blue background paper, mice, grasses and ladder were printed using downloadable vignettes from various Carnation Crafts collections and I used their dies to cut out the pieces. The brickwork paper and the speed limit were from scraps I had left over from papers printed using La Pashe CD ROMS. The gravel paper is scrap from a very old paper pad and the flying school notice was hand written. The whole is matted and layered onto deep blue card and white.

Winter goodies

    Today sees the start of a new challenge at Send A Smile 4 Kids. The theme for this challenge is holidays and celebration.

    I have used a digi stamp from Bugaboo called winter goodies, coloured it using Promarkers and cut it out using a notched rectangle die from Tattered Lace. The sentiment was also cut using a Tattered Lace die. To finish the card I added three small gem stones.

Best wishes bouquet

   For this fortnight the theme for the Crafty Cardmakers challenge is shabby chic.

   I have used dies from Carnations Craft Just to Say bouquet collection. I printed off the accompanying vignettes but the magenta colour  did not print so my flowers are a collection of yellows, pale blues and off whites! They are tied together with a yellow ribbon and the stems tucked under the frame. The sentiment was cut using a Tattered Lace die.

Autumn leaves

    I coloured this digi called 'signs of autumn' from Jan's Digi Stamps using a mix of Promarkers and Chameleon pens and matted and layered it onto squares of coordinating coloured card. The sentiment is made from gold peel off letters and the card finished with a bow made using three strips of different coloured ribbon.

Face masks

   For this fortnight the Crafty Cardmakers challenge has the theme of 'recycled element'.
As we all are required to wear face masks now I have been busy making some for family members. Using an old sheet I tried several different designs and tweaked them to fit the individual face. This is one set I made for my daughter using material from her old clothes.
