A Card for the ArtbyMiran Facebook Challenge

Good Morning Crafters I know I dont post many posts these days I do find that I seem to have lots to do running my other blog but as I had already made this card for this months progressive Challenge over on Facebook I thought I would treat you to seeing it as well.
This image is the one they give you free if you have taken part in last months progressive Challenge and I printed her onto white card before colouring her with my copic pens. I then cut her out using the Justrite dies and used the larger one for the mount out of pink card. I always ink around the edges before removing the die to give it more body or it looks rather lost if you leave it all white. The sentiment was stamped and for this one I used for the smaller die a Sue Wilson Noble die and for the mount the circle die from Justrite.
I do love Justrite stamps and Dies also Sue Wilsons dies and stamps Im a bit of a horder of both so dont be surprised it you dont get to see me use them more.
The base card is a 7"x 7" white card with a first mount out of pink card the papers I used this time are also from ArtbyMiran and these are called "Happy Days" I printed three papers, the first is a pink background with hearts on, the second is a blue one and this one I have used border and corner dies from Martha stewart, the third is pink background with white spots and this was cut into a strip and mounted on a piece of pink card, then layered up as shown in the photo. I also used a heart doily which I tucked behind the mounted image.
I then placed my mounted image in the center with the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner. I have a confession to make I accidently bent the side of the heart doily when I turned it over to stick to the black base card and to try and anchor it down I used a bit of glue, unfortunately it looked so dark against the white I had to cover it up and I used a pink and blue organza ribbon to create the two bows and then placed a bow around the knot with the glitter drops from Tonic, I also used them in three of the corners. At least it covered up the black gluey mark.

A Card for the Sugar Nellie Challenge

Good Afternoon, Crafters, its been quite awhile since I have used any of my Sugar Nellie images and I had this one in my craft box I take to Craft Club so I decided to try and colour it with my coloured pencils and this is the result.
I cut her out with a Nestabilie Die and a larger on for the Mount, the sentiment is one from my stash and has been stamped onto a piece of card and mounted in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of mauve card, and the papers I have used are from the Nitwits and I have used several of the papers as shown in the photo I mounted some of the pieces onto card and with one of them I created a doily and layered that first then the rest on top.
The mounted image was place in the middle with the sentiment at the bottom right hand corner, I also used some mauve pearls in all three corners shown.

Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, well I suppose you will be aware that another month has flown and Im sure like me your not all that impressed so far with the weather, anyway lets keep our fingers crossed that it wont be long before it settles down and gets warmer.
Anyway here is my card for this months Challenge over on Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge Blogspot


And for this card I have used one of the ArtbyMiran images and I printed her onto white card and then coloured with my copic pens, afterwards I used my Nestabilitie Die to cut it out and mounted it onto blue card. The sentiment was stamped and finished in the same way as the image.
The base card is a white 6.50"x 6.50" card and on this I have placed a first mount out of blue card, the papers are from Sweetshoppe Digi Papers and this set is titled "Enchanted Roses" and I have used 5 papers and placed as shown in the photo.
I then stuck my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment down in the right hand bottom corner. I also stuck a fancy flourish which has gems in it.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Crafty Hazelnuts Patterned Paper Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this Challenge.
