Sunday Challenge Card #3 - Penny Black Star

This card is for the following challenges:

• The layout is for the sketch at Inspirational Card Sketches "icsketches.blogspot.com".
• I needed to add some colour to some dry embossing for the challenge at Our Creative Corner "ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com"
• The colour scheme of Black, White and a Splash of Yellow is for The Play Date Cafe challenge at "theplaydatecafe.blogspot.com".

I used a stamp from the Holly Day Critters Stamp set for the image and coloured it with Promarkers and a little bit of Galaxy Gold Brilliance ink which I also used around the circle. I also addded a couple of gold stars which I had and some Gold Kanban jewels. The background is one of the new embossing and die cutting background folders from Marianne I then used the ink with some Cut and Dry foam to bring out the embossing.

• The colours Black White and a one other colour for the challenge at Inky Impressions "inkyimpressionschallenges.blogspot.com"

Busy Saturday Card #2

Another Challenge Card. This one is for my cousin at Christmas, unfortunately I don't think it will get there before Christmas due to the post being delayed because of the snow but it will get there eventually - I hope!

This card is using one of the gorgeous Digi Stamps I purchased using my $10 prize for winning the Sweet Sketch Wednesday Challenge last week. The stamps are from Tiddlylinks.com and I of course didn't stop at using just the prize money as there was too many cute images to choose from.

This card is for the following challenges:

• The layout is for the Challenge at CPS Card Sketches "cardpositioningsystems.blogspot.com"

• The tag is for the Scrap Creation Challenge at "scrap-creations1.blogspot.com" and the Stamp Something Challenge at "stampchallenges.blogspot.com"
• It's for my cousin who is 12ish (I forget exactly how old - whoops) which covers the Card for a Kid Challenge at Cute Card Thursday at "cutecardthursday.blogspot.com"
• The colour scheme is Blue, White and Green for the Just Us Girls Challenge at "justusgirlschallenge.blogspot.com"
• I used the photo inspiration at Challenge Up Your Life to take the water and use the colours within my card. "challengeupyourlife.blogspot.com" Instead of buttons I used Card Candy as my buttons were not the right colour or inkeeping with the card.

I used some free papers from Bearly Mine Designs and the embellishments are Card Candy from Craftwork Cards. Hope you like it and hope my cousin likes it too!

Busy Saturday Card #1

This is my first card. It's quite a simple one as I thought that this beautiful image needed very little to go with it. This is for the following two challenges:

• A Rub on for Little Red Wagon at "lilredwagon..blogspot.com"
• A Clean and Simple design was required for the Challenge at Totally Stampalicious "totallystampalicious.blogspot.com.

I used a deckle edged card blank that I bought in a Kanban set from QVC last year and added papers, embellishments and rub ons that I bought from one of my favourite online stores Crafts U Love. They are from the Bo Bunny Winter Joy Collection.

Another Penny Black Card

My mum really liked the tag I had made previously for the Gift Bag and said it would look great on a card and as I had not punched a hole in it yet I decided to do just that. I then entered it into the following challenges:

• The Sketch at Our Creative Corner "ourcreativecorner6.blogspot.com"
• The Traditional Christmas colours Challenge at Just Christmas "diekreativenstempelfreunde.blogspot.com"
• The Christmas Challenges at Creative Inspirations "cinspirations.blogspot.com" and Top Tip Tuesday at "toptiptuesday.blogspot.com".
• Also for the New Year Challenges at Delightful Sketches "delightfulsketches.blogspot.com", Your Next Stamp "ynschallenges.blogspot.com" and Charisma Cardz "charismacardz.blogspot.com".

I used a the same materials as before and added a few extra stamens from the flowers as embellishments and an extra greeting from the Daisy and Dandelion greeting stamp set.

See you tomorrow.
