Shall We Dance?

Good Afternoon

The current challenge over at Whoopsi Daisy Challenge is a fab sketch to follow.  Here is my card:

I used one of the delightful images from the Daisy and Friends cd-rom from Joanna Sheen, I used a pre-coloured image as I wanted to decoupage the image.  I changed the spots on her tutu to brown to tie-in with the rest of the card.  I used a Nestabilies die to cut the shape of the mat from dark brown linen card.  I then created a faux nesties around the image.

The backing papers were from a magazine ages ago, and I thought went really well with the image.  The sentiment mat is cut using another nestie and the butterfly is a Marianne die.

I created the floral arrangement using Mulberry flowers and leaves, some feathers from my stash and a hat pin.

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

Crafting When We Can - Things with wings

Craft Your Passion Challenge - Spots and stripes

Flutterby Wednesday - Open plus butterfly, angel or fairy

The Poodles Parlour - Spots and Dots

Thanks for stopping by.

Good Afternoon

It's a while since I joined in with the Less Is More Challenge, and as I needed to make a Thank You card, I decided to tie it in with their challenge for this week which is Silhouettes.

I started by embossing the card using a Nestabilities die. I stamped this lovely stamp from Dimension Fourth and heat embossed with white detail embossing powder. With the die in situ, I used ink dusters to apply ink from a Big & Juicy Waterfall ink pad. I added silver peel offs to the card to complete (I'm not actually sure about the positioning of the peels offs, but they're firmly stuck now so will have to stay.

My card is for the following challenges:

Less Is More - Silhouettes

Allsorts Challenge - One Layer Card

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - Give Thanks

Crafts and Me Challenge - Keep It Simple

Sentimental Sundays - Thank You Card
