Vintage Lady with Flower Dress

Something completely different!
Is the challenge site for this card. The theme this week is for vintage so without further ado I reached for another of my new vintage lady stamps and I was away. I've kept the colours muted too so that they add to the vintage feel.

Products used:
Fashion lady 7
Mixed natural buttons
Ivory and scarlet double faced satin ribbon.
Large Ivory Tea roses.
Border punch from Fiskars.

Pink and Brown for Theme Thursday Challenge

The challenge this week on the Theme Thursday site was for Pink and Brown so instead of making a card I decided to make a bag similar to the blue one that I made last week.

This cute little bag is embellished with a scalloped edged piece of card front and back and layered up with brown paper that I had in my stash. The little perfume bottle is from Savvy Stamps and is on special offer at the moment on the Craft Fairy site.
The brown dotty ribbon is here, and the pink dotty ribbon is here.

Vintage Lady with Striped Dress

Yet again, I'm drooling over new stamps and as the lovely producers have sent me samples I just had to get on with a card sraight away. I got the layout from Our Creative Corner and I was off. It is so similar to the layout on ICSketchers that I entered it for that too.

To make this card, you will need to use:
Vintage Lady 5, Unmouted rubber stamp from Stampinback
Sheer wine ribbon in 16mm width.

Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge #38

The theme on Secret Crafters Saturday Challenge #38 is PRETTY PACKAGING. Well, I couldn't resist as I had a great idea that was all ready to go.

I just love this little bag that I made recently using the new fennel seed stamp from Stampinback . The stamp is coloured directly with the Art and Graphic pens from Zig, Kuretake in colours 308 and 58.

The two ribbons are blue saddle stitch in 9mm and 3mm.
