Especially for You

A little mauve card for a birthday or friend from my desk this afternoon. I've used the layout from the Inspired by Stamping July Blog Hop  and incorporated some background paper with small polka dots to run with the theme at Annabelle stamps ac167.  At Papertake Weekly the challenge is to use a diecut or punch on you card - I cut a double scallop circle to create a frame and a white frilly one to mount the sentiment.Thanks for taking a peek

Die-ing For A Punch     

Happy Birthday Mermaid

Crazy 4 Challenges C4C194- Marine Life

Old, New Borrowed or Blue

JAI 173 - Just Add....Water

 

A fun card today for a number of blog challenges....Water, Marine seem to be a theme this week so I've combined a few. 

At Papertake Weekly they're asking for a card using one of the theme - Old, New, Borrowed or Blue; so I've chosen Old being the stamped mermaid and the sentiment from my pre-stamped drawer (both years old) and they were both created from Borrowed stamps (hence in the stash drawer). New would be the white card stock for the card base and Blue for the marine/water theme which also falls into the catagory for Addicted to CAS - Water - the waves I created with the die cut border and chalks and the mermaid is painted with my Twinkling H2Os so can also be for the Mixed Media technique challenge at Just Us Girls JUGS197.  My card also fits with the Marine theme at Crazy4Challenges C4C194 and Just Add Water over at Just Add Ink JAI173.  Thanks for taking a peek
