Happy Birthday Lynne

Today is Lynne's birthday from Handmade With Love ....By Lynne and our team leader at Crafty Calendar Challenge.  Happy Birthday Lynne, I hope you have a great day, whatever you may have planned.

This is the card I made for Lynne (which hopefully has arrived by now so I'm not spoiling the surprise!!):

I followed the sketch over at Tuesday Morning Sketches.  The image and backing papers are printed from the beautiful Flowers In Bloom cd-rom from Card Creations Plus.  The circle the image is sat on was cut using a Spellbinders die.  The leaves and flowers are Cheery Lynn dies and the sentiment is Tattered Lace dies.  The pearls are from my stash.

I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Sunflowerfield Designs Monthly Challenge - Easter or Spring

Suzy Bee's Bloomin' Challenge - Wings

Chocolate, Coffee and Cards- Spring

CD Sunday Challenge - Deco Drama

Good Morning

A warm welcome to my blog today.

This is my entry into the current CD Sunday Challenge which has a theme of Deco Drama.  I decided to make a diamond-top card, I don't remember making this style of card before.

I used papers from Debbi Moore's Glitter and Glitz Paris Glamour cd-rom and the topper from one of her magazines.  The black and gold card are from Paper Mill.  I used a spellbinders Fleur-de-lis die to cut the square that the image is sat on.  Some feathers and gems from my stash were used to embellish, and the sentiment and border were also from the cd.

I would also like to enter my card in the following challenges:

Alphabet Challenge - F for Feathers (ends 7/5)

Cut It Up Challenge - Birthday Card

Aud Sentiments - Use a Birthday Sentiment (ends 6/5)

April Crafty Calendar Challenge - Things With Wings and a DT Call

Good Morning

Another month has flown by and it's time for a new challenge over at Crafty Calendar Challenge.  We had lots of wonderful entries to our last challenge, so do remember to visit the challenge blog to see if you were our lucky winner or indeed one of our top 3.

This month our challenge is things with wings.  We are sponsored by the wonderful Elisabeth Bell Designs and I have used the beautiful Fairy Merrily Digi Stamp for my card:

I printed the image onto Neenah card and coloured using Spectrum Noir pens and added some Diamond Sparkles ultra-fine glitter to her wings.

I used the beautiful frame square die by Joy Crafts to cut into some glittered Core'dinations cardstock.  The backing paper is by Cupcake Crafting World and the pearls used in the corners from my stash.
