Popping in quickly with a card for the Cas-uals Friday’s #97 challenge – chevrons and flowers. What an awesome combination!

Have a great day,

Howdy Partners,

Moxie Fab World are having some super cool challenges at the moment and I wanted to play along…and yesterday I found some time and some mojo!
I am loving green and aqua as a colour combo lately. Super fun. I am entering the first card into Emphasize the Negative Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

I am entering the second card into the Chevron Challenge in the Moxie Fab World.

Thanks for taking the time to stop by,

Wow…2012 is about to come to an end! Hard to believe really.

Today I am sharing a mini card set that I created for my sister-in-law as a Christmas gift. I love making sets of cards as I think they make the perfect handmade gift. I should have photographed them in pairs to reduce the number of photos, but I didn’t think about that in the rush just before I had to wrap them and send them!

I coloured in the daisy die and also the background pattern with Copic markers.

I love using Hero Arts note cards as the base…I love all of the colours!

I appreciate you stopping by. I’ll be back soon with another mini set that I made – slightly different to the one above.

Good evening,

I have another CUTIE little card made from Jane’s Doodles Garden Friends stamp set. I stamped the hello background from the set and I got the idea to put the flower in his mouth from Emily Leiphart’s card here. It adds a cute little touch and also some colour to the card. I cut out the scalloped border by hand – I think it adds a whimsical touch.

And a close up of those googly eyes!

Supplies:

Stamps: Jane’s Doodles ‘Garden Friends’ stamp set, Hero Arts Envelope Pattern Woodblock stamp (S5507), Hero Arts Playful animals set (for the little star on the background – small, but important!)(CL155)
Ink: Memento – Tuxedo Black, Distress inks – Dried Marigold, Scattered Straw
Card: Regal Craft Card (white square single fold), White card, XPress It blending card
Other Supplies: Nesties Label 2, Google eyes, foam dimensionals, Basic Grey button – orange, Copic Markers, blending tool, Tim Holtz ruler and paper piercer, white DMC thread

Ok, I need to sleep. Until next time,

Hi everyone,

I really should be in bed…but just wanted to post this before I head there! This card looks simple (and it is) but I lost track of how many hours I fiddled with it to get it to this stage…ho hum!
I am using my new Hero Arts Classic Fabric Design stamp that I stamped with Broken China distress ink (my FAVOURITE distress ink colour). I spritzed with Perfect Pearls before stamping, so in real life it has a shimmer to it which is lovely. I am entering this into Lucy’s Lovely Lines sketch challenge over at Lily Pad Cards which is sponsored by Lawn Fawn.

Stamps: Hero Arts Classic Fabric Design (CG245)
Ink: Tim Holtz Distress Ink – Broken China
