Sparrow

   I was lucky enough to recently win a Samantha Neville's paper kit and dies set called bird song. The design paper and toppers are taken from this paper kit. I matted the paper onto peach and then cream card whilst the toppers were matted onto dark brown card. To the toppers I added card candies. To finish the card I added some leafy embellishments die cut from dark brown card using Tattered Lace's entwined foliage dies.

Thinking of you

   The firsr challenge of the year at Dragonfly Dreams is being sponsored by

with the theme of anything goes.

   I have used their digi called Emily, coloured it using Promarkers and fussy cut it. The arch frame from a Hunkydory papercraft set I backed onto paper I printed using My Craft Studios second Illustrious Illusions CD ROM. The background paper printed some time ago was from my stash and I matted it onto gold mirri then white card. The sentiment is a gold peel off.

Sewn with love

   The theme for the first Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge of 2020 is valentine or love cards.
   I printed a decoupage sheet using a House Mouse Design CD ROM and matted it onto blue card. The backgound paper was also printed using a House Mouse Design CD ROM and before matting it onto the same blue coloured card I wrapped dark crimson ribbon round it. I added some unused decoupage pieces to the bottom corner of the main image and also a sentiment which I matted onto crimson card.

Heron's rest

   Like many people I was tempted by the sale of craft goodies. This card was made using on of those purchases.
   The frame was made using Tattered Lace's notched rectangle dies and behind it I attached a charisma image cut using Beverley Eden's heron's rest die (the new purchase) and trimmed the edges. This was backed by cloud paper printed using the second Illustrious Illusions CD ROM from My Craft Studio.
   I cut a strip from a background pad accompanying the die and matted this and the framed image onto as near a matching coloured card that I had and then matted the whole onto cream card. I added die cut words to the strip and a gold peel off sentiment to the side of the card.

Christmas tree lights

   I began by attaching a strip of Christmas tree dphorizontally to red card which was then matted onto white card. I coloured the image from LeAnn's World called Daisy using Promarkers and then cut it out using a circle die. After adhering it to the card background I edged the circle with strips of silver open star chain peel off. Using various coloured stars from other peel off sheets I filled the centre of each star in the chain, Finally I added a silver peel off sentiment.
