A Shabby Chic Theme

I made this card to enter into the Our Creative Corner's challenge "A Shabby Chic Theme", and I used white cardstock with a pale blue and white scrapbooking paper, from my stash.   I also used Tim Hotz clock Bigz die and sizzix Bird no 5, a MFT Die-Namics die "Leafy Flourish", the flowers I made my self and the small flowers were from a punch with white pearls in the centers, The blue pearls are from Jemark Imports from China and the little doily behind the bird was a gift from my friend Meg. Thank you Meg! the Butterfly is a Joy crafts cutting die. and I used a bale bue stamp pad to shade around the butterfly and the cock hands and the edges of the card.  I used pale blue Kindy Glitz for the sparkle on the bird, butterfy and the flowers.

One for the Boys

I made this card today for the challenge on Simon Says Stamp "One for the Boys".  I used clock paper from the Kaisercraft  6 1/2 pad Black and White Timeless, and used Tim Holtz Stamps "The Journey" and "Lost and Found" I really like these two stamp sets.  I used Tim's Rosette and also Distress Lace for the side edges. I used a clock from my stash and coloured the edges with Tim Holtz Distress Ink Pad "Vintage Photo". I usually make three Fathers Day Cards, one for my husband, and one each for our son and son in law.

"Taggy"

Made this tag for the Christmas Stampin' all year long challenge No. 12, it was made with plain card stock, painted a pale green with Jo Sonja Acrylics and I used a Tim Holtz Tattered Flowers made and stamped with a Stampendous stamp "music score" and outlined with black pen, I used white grosgrain ribbon for the tag, and used coloured scrapbook paper for the scroll and Tim Holtz stamp "The Journey",
a safety pin and a silver key and butterfly from my stash.

card for challenge on Our Creative Corner

I made this card today for the challenge on Our Creative Corner.   The challenge was a card with Orange, Blue tones from white, cream to a bit of brown, and I think I have achieved this.   I used Orange corrugated card stock for the back panel with corners of Blue and White,   the model is a Tim Holtz Positional Magnetic die as is the cotton reel, I used place orangey/ cream with darker orange flowers and a blue ribbon and on the cotton reel I used the same colours with cream lace with a safety pin to hold it.   I used a Joy cutting/embossing die for the sewing machine from cream card stock and used a snippet of lace for the fabric it is a pale creamy colour, and used Tim Holtz' vintage photo distress ink on the sewing machine also on the edges of the model. I used a brown floral vintage paper for the butterflies which were cut and imbossed with a Joy cutting and embossing die.     The ticket is a Tim Holtz that I have had for a long tim.                                                                    .

Green Christmas Card

Here is my card for today.   I used plain white card stock with a light green paper from "Forever Christmas" paper stack from Hot off the Press, I used the Tim Holtz magnetic die "Pine tree and Holly set" together with his Reindeer Flight cutting die, the little villages are Marianne Design dies, I use them a lot, I used Kindy Glitz in green and chrystaline for the sparkle, and I used a dull green ink pad to colour around the edges. I have not entered this in any challenges because I wanted just to make a card for myself. On the reindeer I stamped "Music Score" from Stampendous, I really like this stamp and use it a lot.

Wedding Dress

I made this card today for the weekly card challenge on Club CK, and I used plain white cardstock, with the corners cut with a Marianne design creatables cutting die, I used the model from tim Holtz Mini Sewing Room, and the small bird from his Mini Bird and Cage set.   I used a Nellie Snellon die for the large doily and a MFT Die-namics die Prima Donna Petals for the flowers with tiny chrystal beads for the centers, small Martha Stewart Butterflies punch and I used my score pad to do the skirt with a Martha Stewart edge punch for the base and bodice of the dress with white satin ribbon for the tie, I punched out small flowers for the waist band also with chrystal centers. I scanned the card after failure to get a non blurry image with my camera.
