This week's challenge at Kraftin Kimmee is yummy neapolitan, pink, chocolate and vanilla. I love these colours and they suit Clara so much. The sentiment was created on the PC, flowers are Prima with card candy. Pearls from the Hobby House. The lovely sketch is from Allsorts.
Now this card was a real challenge. Crafts 4 eternity had a great sketch but also want a quote and use something wooden. The colour challenge at Colour Create is khaki, aqua, brown and cream. Once I decided on making a wicket out of cocktail sticks and found the right colour papers the card started to come together. The aqua paper is Doodlebug. I don't know where I would be for men's cards without these Dovecraft papers which gave me the cricket balls and the quote. The image is Clare Curd. Other challenges are:One Stitch at a time Going Dotty
Cards for men Outdoors
This last card really took me out of my comfort zone, which is the challenge at Tuesday Taggers. I wanted to make a jingle bell card for Susie and Vikki's Christmas club and ABC Christmaswho also want you to add something punched. The only bells I could find in my stash were on a set of stamps I won last year. I added them to some card embossed with Cuttlebug d'vine swirls. I added lots of glitter to the holly and a row of punched stars. I ended up with a very traditional looking card, not my type of card at all, but the sort I have been asked to make occasionally in the past. I'm not sure I really like it but now it is made thought I would post it. The fab sketch is from Friday Sketchers.
