Colour throw down, the Shabby Tea Room

  

Oh I do like the colours this week for the Colour Throwdown CTD177 - all bright and cheery and then the Shabby Tea Room challenge Week #99 - 'Love is in the Air' - a card with a Valentine's theme and including a mail or postage element - my card evolved into this when I had to decided on a sentiment to add.  I was experimenting with my embossing folders and inking up the raised side and brayering over the card on top to create the background...and here we go my card!!!  Thanks for taking a peek.

Mojo 226, The Play Date Cafe

 

 

 Hello once again this weekend, today I'm posting my card on two challenges - MojoMonday #226 and the Play Date Cafe PDCC117 colour challenge.  The very pale colours were tricky for me to work with, they are pretty but I'd rather go with some depth of colour. I do like this Mojo sketch though and will make a few Christmas cards using it. I created the background on the bottom half by inking the raised surface of my embossing folder and brayering over the card. I haven't used the little girl stamp before but am pleased with the overall card. Thanks for taking a peek

Friend card

Morning fellow card makers....a lovely morning here in Karratha and even nicer that I have my chores done and can spend my day here at my desk making cards and keeping in touch with family and friends. This card just fell together from pieces lying about on my messy desk and doesn't follow any particular sketch...just me!
No doubt I'll be back again today, thanks for taking a peek anyway....happying creating

Less is More challenge, Christmas

   

Happy Friday folks....Well I didn't quite get to making Christmas cards yesterday soooo here I am today...I just have to make the pile grow. Once again this week I've used the Less is More Sketch for Week 52 as a base design for my cards - although the purple ones I've added some ribbon and layered it. 

Looking forward to the weekend and Thanks for taking a peek

Less is More challenge

 

Hi surprisingly I'm back again today....with a Less is More card for their Sketch challenge for Week 52. I have a new stamp set from Chocolate Baroque I've been wanting to use and the simple lines of this image goes well with the less is more theme.  If you look closely at the text you'll see I mucked up but oh well that's stamping for you.  Thanks for taking a peek...

The Shabby Tea Room challenge

 

Just a little too late....to post this with the Shabby Tea Room week 98 challenge last week - "Sparkle and Bright" to use the colour White, Silver and a splash of Pink, inspired by this picture ...but I decided to put it on my blog anyway. Have a great week, sending out smiles :-)

Mojo 225

 

Evening stamping friends....just finished my Mojo Monday challenge card - I didn't find this an easy sketch to use but I in the end I'm pleased with how it turned out.  Thanks for taking a peek... now have a great week :)

Scrapbook Boutique challenge, the Sweet Stop

  

Well I'm on a roll this morning - here's my card for the Scrapbook Boutique January challenge using purple, white and green  and also the Sweet Stop sketch challenge SSS143. Purple is one of my favorite colours and I haven't made one for quite awhile so it was nice to see the little purple cakes pop-up at Scrapbook Boutique. I also made my paper flower using the Sizzix Birds and Blooms Flower Press die which I'm mighty impressed with.  Thanks for taking a peek.
