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.

Teddy's fall



   This month the theme for the Send A Smile 4 Kids challenge is cute fall or halloween cards.
   I have made an easel card using a fall theme. The paper on the base of the easel was printed using Hunkydory's @ home USB number 4 and matted and layered onto orange and cream cards. The image on the front was decoupaged using several pages from Hunkydory's Little Book of Autumn. I matted this onto a layer of the printed paper and orange card. I used two strips of copper peel offs to edge the vertical sides of the image.
