Mixed bouquet

   The theme for this week's challenge at Eureka Stamps is 'anything goes', so let's see all your wonderful creations over there.
   I used odd scrapes to make my card. I had a piece of pink core'dinations cardstock in which I had previously cut out an oval, so I cut this to size, centralizing the oval and attached a piece of magenta core'dinations cardstock behind the aperture. I then matted it onto white card. The digi image is number 9206 (mixed bouquet) and I coloured it using Promarkers after which I matted it onto mauve core'dinations cardstock both cut out using an oval die.
   I used silver peel offs to outline the aperture and the edge of the pink cardstock and used waste silver peel off to decorate the corners of the card. I attached a silver peel off sentiment to magenta core'dinations cardstock, matted it onto white card and attached it to the base of the card.

Birthday sweet

   Paper Creator's Craft are holding a DT call at the moment and this is the card that I have made for it.
   I created the background using My Craft Studio's Shop Fronts Setting the Scene CD ROM and matted and layered it onto core'dinations cardstock and white card. The image from Paper Creator's Craft is called 'come here often' and I printed it out several times and decoupaged it onto the background scene. The tag used for the sentiment was cut from core'dinations cardstock using a Spellbinders holiday tag. Lastly I attached a card candi to the top of the tag.

Scarecrow

   For this week's challenge at Eureka Stamps we would like you to use the colours of fall. I have used digi number 15901 (scarecrow with sunflowers) on my card. I coloured it using Promarkers and then dusted the background with distress ink. I matted it onto orange core'dinations cardstock making the mat slightly deeper than the image. On this extended part I attached the sentiment cut from yellow core'dinations cardstock using Tattered Lace dies. The whole was then matted and layered onto printed paper I had in my stash, orange core'dinations cardstock and white card.

Purple Christmas

   The theme for the challenge staring today at Creative Corner is Christmas, but using NO red or green.
    For this card I printed paper using a My Craft Studio CD ROM and adjusting the colour. I wrapped shiny ribbon round it and then matted and layered it onto purple core'dinations cardstock and pale mauve card.
   The image called Ava Christmas mistletoe fairy is from Bugaboo and I coloured it using Promarkers. I then cut it out using a Spellbinders circle die and matted it onto purple core'dinations cardstock which had been cut out using a Spellbinders petite scalloped circle die. Finally I added stars to the ribbon and a peel off greeting.

Thank you

   The theme for the new Crafty Cardmakers and More challenge starting today is thank you.
I began by matting and layering paper from The English Paper Company's Siesta collection onto red mirri card and white card. I then added a narrow strip from the same collection horizontally to the card. My stamped image is Tatty Twinkles - just for you. After colouring it using Promarkers I matted it onto red mirri card and then attached it an angle to the card. Finally I added a gold peel off to the tag.
