Card Patterns

Here is my final post for tonight. This is my card for this weeks Card Patterns challenge. I decided not to use an image and just use a text stamp instead. I am pleased with how the card turned out and think that the simple choice of colours is quite effective.

Sketch Saturday


For the sketch over on Sketch Saturday I decided to try something a little different. The background of my card is embossed acetate, with the main design stuck on to it. I am really pleased with the effect.

Friday Sketchers

I enjoyed using one of the lovely digital stamps that I won from last weeks Friday Sketchers to create this card. The sketch was really simple to follow but looks quite effective.

Just Magnolia Monthly Challenge





There was a fab tutorial on how to make an Easter Basket using paper weaving on Just Magnolia and as I love Tilda and chocolate I couldn't resist this challenge. The challenge was to make an Easter basket of some sort, but as it is Just Magnolia you had to use a Magnolia stamp. Anyway, this is my entry for the challenge. I really enjoyed doing this, even if it did take a bit longer than usual.

Friday Sketchers


A very nice sketch on Friday Sketchers. It looked a bit complicated at first, but once I got started it was OK. I really struggled to find a small enough image but settled on the pig stamp from the Honey 'n' Hugs collection.

Winter Wonderland


The theme for the Winter Wonderland challenge and blog hop was "Candy Cane Red and White". I have no stamps with candy canes on them so I did a hunt on the internet and found this really cute clip art image of Donald Duck with candy canes. I printed him out and then coloured him in with promarkers. I then used my Slice (for the first time in ages) to cut the red and white background shapes, using the scrap red card to create the stripes behind the greeting.

Friday Sketchers


A lovely, fairly simple sketch on Friday Sketchers this week. I have used the Forever Friends Just For Him decoupage pack to create my card.

Just Magnolia


The theme for this weeks challenge on Just Magnolia was Hearts and Flowers. I have used the Tilda with hearts stamp and coloured her in with pro-markers. I have then added several paper flowers and the gem in the middle of the flowers is even a tiny heart shape.
