Christmas In Pink

My card for today follows the sketch over at Delightful Challenges and the theme at The CD Sunday Challenge which is Christmas in Pink.  I've used the Christmas In Mulberry Wood cd from Crafters' Companion to create my card.  Here is my card:

6 x 6 card blank

Image printed onto Watercolour card
Polar white flowersoft was added to the hat.

Core'dinations card embossed with a Darice embossing folder and sanded.

Both backing papers are from the cd-rom, printed onto Satin paper.

The sentiment is again from the cd.

I cut some of the left over backing paper into triangles to create some paper beads to add to the card.
I tied a double bow on the bowdabra and then attached the beads.

My card is also for the following challenges:

Totally PaperCrafts Challenge - Twinkle, twinkle Christmas star.

A5 card blank, Red card from PaperMill used for matting.

White card embossed using one of the glitter girls boards (sorry I can't remember the name of it)

My card for today features one of the delightful  images from Lili of the Valley.  I followed the sketch over at Creative Inspirations and here is my card:

One thing's for sure - it's definitely pink!

6 x 6 card blank.

Pink sorbet card from Papermill embossed using a Beatrix Potter embossing folder from Crafters Companion.  For a change I decided to use both the embossed and de-bossed side.

The papers are from some old copies of Making Cards Magazine.

Spellbinders label 5 dies used to create the image and sentiment mats.

The white flourish is a Marianne die.

Good Morning

Thank you all for your good wishes for Sarah.  It's very strange thinking she's left home, feels more like she's on holiday at the moment!  I spoke to her via SKYPE yesterday and it really put my mind at rest, she seems very relaxed and happy and is sharing with a lovely group of people.  Also she was able to show me round her room which was lovely as I don't know when I'm going to be up to travelling over to see her.

I've a calendar to share with you today:

As I've said before, I love making these.

Decoupage from Benjamin Bunny cd-rom from Crafters Companion

In The Jungle

Good Morning

I'm a big fan of giraffes, and last week I was having a look around the lovely Kim's blog (very inspiring, well worth a visit) when I spotted a card made using a stamp featuring a giraffe.  Kim had put the full details of the stamp set on her blog so I was able to 'google' it and manage to track it down.  This is the first card I have made using this lovely set of stamps:

I followed the sketch over at The Sweet Stop Sketch Challenge

Woodware Stamp FRCL127 Jungle Pals

Image coloured with Spectrum Noir pens, I coloured 2 giraffes so I could decoupage him

Backing paper from We R Memory Keepers (free in a magazine!)

Core'dinations card used along with Picot Edge circle dies, Marianne Frame die and Swiss Dots embossing folder.

Sentiment is Wild Road Studio

Buttons from my stash.
