Lilac

   Today sees the start of another anything goes challenge at Crafting from the Heart.
   I cut a rectangle from white card and glued a honeycomb lattice behind it before matting and layering onto purple and then white card. Using Tattered Lace's botanical collection CD ROM I printed the flower image several times. I then used the accompanying die to cut the flower out and decoupaged it. The bees were cut using the peony pavilion accents die having been printed using the accompanying CD ROM. I finished the card with a peel off sentiment.

Flower pots

   It's Friday again which means another QKR Stampede challenge. I have gone for a bright and cheerful design this week. The image, coloured using Promarkers with Chameleon pens used for some of the petals is called 'flower pots' and matted onto red card. The paper from my stash was matted onto orange card and ribbon wrapped round it before matting it onto white card. I then added a bow.

Maple leaves

   The theme for this fornight's challenge at Crafty Cardmakers is autumn colours.
   I used a maple die from Crafter's Companion and used it to randomly punch leaves from white card and after dusting it with various Distress inks matted and layered it onto copper mirri and white card. I cut a number of leaves, stamped veins on them and coloured them using Distress inks. Finally I added a sentiment.

Fall fox

   For this fortnight's challenge the Send A Smile 4 Kids would like to see fall or thankful cards.
   I began by dusting white card using Distress inks and matted and layered this onto tan and then white card. The images were all cut using Tattered Lace dies. I backed the fox onto darker card. The oak leaves were coloured using Promarkers and the oak branch a mixture of Distress inks and Promarkers. I cut the acornd twice and decoupaged them onto the branch.

Chocolate kisses

   It's Friday - time for another anything goes challenge at QKR Stampede.
   I have used the digi Chocolate kisses and coloured it using Promarkers. After cutting it out I dusted the edges using Distress ink and matted it onto card cut out using a Tattered Lace ornamental torn edges heart die. I also brushed Distress ink over the sentiment.
