Drake the penguin

Sorry folks but my card today is similar to yesterdays creation.Not intentional just the way it's worked out.

Pollycraft challenge 24 'Black and White plus one other colour .I have used a freebie image from Pollycraft as it suited the colour combo.I would have preferred to use red,hot pink or lime green as my other colour but I wanted to shade the snow so it had to blue.

Basic black card stock,a strip of white paper cut with fancy scissors and punched with a small snowflake design,the punched bits used for the rest of the card.The tag and image have been inked round the edges.

Over the weekend I have bought several digital images from Pollycraft,I hope to show some of them this week.

Hiya Sausage

I'm on a roll this is my second card today and not a button in sight

.The Pink Elephant challenge 31 was for a colour combo of Red,Yellow,Black and White. Yellow and Red together not sure about that. I have managed to make a very simple card using a lovely image from Pollycraft called 'Hiya Sausage' which I think is so cute. No rocket science here I have just layered the papers,used a stamp for the sentiment and lucky for me I had a small red flower which I stuck on and drew in a stem .Punched a few small hearts to finish off.

Flutterby Butterfly

I can't believe it's Saturday already,I am so behind in making cards for all my favourite challenge sites. The up side to this is that now I have the time to make a card I can combine 2 challenges together.

ABC challenge 'D' is for die cut. Cupcake challenge 56 "Red,White and Blue

I've chosen a butterfly which had heart shapes cut out from its wings. The red parts have been heat embossed with clear powder.I used a swirly background stamp of blue on white paper which I stuck behind.The body I covered with glue and stuck beads across.All the paper used is from magazine freebies. Sentiment printed on computer.As I have stuck the butterfly onto a thin strip of card I suppose you could use it as a book mark.

Enter or not

Allsorts challenge 'something for the boys' challenge 17.I had lots of fun with this one.My card is for a small boy . Behind the purple spotty card hides lots of ribbon,the tag comes off and has a design on both sides . The tag can be hung on a bedroom door handle to say if it's safe to come in.The tag is made from chipboard so it has enough weight and strength, once the images were stuck to the chipboard I inked the edges .The stripey background paper was a magazine freebie which I've had for ages.The images are from Fred she said and Pollycraft.

Gardening Bear

Most of the time I like the cards I make but not this one. I think the colours are a bit strong for my tastes. I've made it for two challenges Daring Cardmakers 'Sunflowers' and Friday Sketchers 68. The papers and lace are all from my stash,the image is from dulemba .

Birthday

Mojo Monday challenge 101. Sorry folks , just had another look at the sketch and I have placed my image in the wrong place. I like the card so I am going post it anyway cos it took ages to do.I've used purple card stock ,the red is paper pizazz and vellum with a purple design .I drew a circle around the stamped image and punched holes evenly around the edge which I then threaded with ribbon .The flower on her hat has small sparkle gem as does the flower in the top corner .The image is from Pink Cat ,I have not found anyone in Australia stocking this particular plate of stamps but you can order them from the UK.

Birthday

Pink Elephant challenge 29 . No pink elephants but gold instead.This very simple layout gave me the chance to use this beautiful stamp the star . I bought in India and it is a solid piece of wood which has a perfectly flat surface and it has been intricately carved to make this cute elephant.I don't get to use it often enough.All the paper used is birthday wrap, my only real contribution was to punch out the circles and flowers.I have stamped and heat embossed the elephant.I don't usually use peel offs but it ties in with the rest of the card.

Summer

It took me a while to make this one,looking through recent challenges I decided I could combine three challenges together.Card Patterns sketch 28,Allsorts challenge 14 an English Garden and Pink Elephant Summer challenge 28.As you can see I've used lots of paper from denadesigns ,they have really good mixed paper packs ,this one is called 'Fleur'. I love the little bunny image.

Bugs .Purple people eater

Secret Crafter Saturday challenge is titled 'Bugs', I hope this means all things crawly in the garden .The image is from Digital Delights, with the addition of a can of worms by me. All the papers were free from various craft magazines.The colouring was done with ordinary coloured pencils,two small gems finish off the antennae.
