Stars

The challenge on Our Creative Corner is for 'Stars'. Now I have some primitive stars so I thought that I'd give it a go. This is my take on the challege.

The stamp is from I Brake for Stamps and the bits of ribbon are from my personal stash.

Stampin Chic

When the ladies on Stampin Chic set out the challenge for a creation that contained 'NO WHITE' they must have had me in mind as many of my cards always contain white. This, then, really is a challege for me so this is what I've come up with:

If you want to make this card you will need:

Florals and Leaves sheet of unmounted rubber stamps from I Brake for Stamps.

Zig, Kuretake, Art and Graphic pens in 56, 57 and 73

Paper raffia in Oatmeal

Buttons

Papers

Happy crafting,

Black, White and one other colour

I've just seen the challenge on Stamp Something for black, white and one other colour and the pink and black challenge on Ooh-la-la Creations so...

I used my fabulous stamp from the Glamour Girls sheet from Time to Stamp and paired it with the flowers that have just arrived on my doorstep throw in a bit of pink spotty ribbon and a button and here's my card. The paper is from Doodlebug Design.

Happy crafting.

New Stamps from Stampinback

We've just had some new stamps from Stampinback and I had to use them as I think that they are really lovely and the designs are right up to the minute.

I didn't just want to have them as a black silhouettes though and I went for fawn and greens.

The images are 'Fennel Silhouette' from Stampinback.

Tall Flower, silhouette also from Stampinback.

The pens that I used to colour the images are Zig Art and Graphic pens 49, 56, 57.

The ribbon is willow green chiffon in 16mm width.

The sentiment is 'approach dreams'

The flowers are from the romance selection of Eco friendly flowers.

The paper I had in my stash but any soft green should do.

To Make this card:

All you need to do is ink up the stamps with your chosen colours and stamp up the images.

Cover the bottom of the card with some green paper and cover the join with sheer green ribbon.

Ink up the sentiment and stamp out. Mount onto another piece of green paper and stick to the card.

Add a couple of smallish flowers from the pack and you have a card.

Happy crafting.

Ismaki Sketch Challenge

Well, I must say that I am doing my best to get cards made by doing as many challenges as possible. The best thing about challenges is that they make you rethink your ideas and come up with something new and, I hope, exciting.
