The Squirrel and the Fox DT - Challenge #76 Spring or Autumn

Oh dear, I'm sorry I'm late again! Here at last is my card for the challenge at The Squirrel and the Fox and our theme is Spring or Autumn. Our fab sponsor is Oak Pond Creations who will reward a lucky winner with 3 free digis from their store!

The DT were privileged to use images from OPC - I fell for Hide and Seek Ladybirds I think it's so pretty, and perfect for decoupage!

So that is what I did!


I went for 'Spring' (even though in the Northern Hemisphere we are heading towards Autumn!)

The photo is at an angle to show the layers. I coloured everything with Promarkers and fussy cut the ladybirds and flower before layering with foam pads. The cute ladybirds have all been Glossy Accented!

I layered the image on blue pearlised card, and used my Corner Chomper to chomp the corners! The papers are a magazine freebie, they are Raspberry Road 'Love Lives Here.' I used a Cheery Lynn flourish die for the vines, and the flowers are made with Woodware punches, with gems and pearls in the centre.

The sentiment is gold embossed, cut and layered with spellbinders Nestabilities, and comes from the Paper Smooches Sentiment Sampler. I love the fun script!

I hope you are all having a good week! I am involved with the annual Holiday Club that my Church runs at the end of August - we expected 20 children under 10, and 34 arrived! It's always a very fun week!

Do go and see the lovely creations that my teamies have made, I'm sure they will inspire you to have a go yourselves!

Thanks for looking!

Image
Hi, guys! We have a new challenge at Dream Valley and it's to use yellow and black on your project. Our sponsor is the gorgeous All Dressed Up and Wendy kindly gave us a couple of her adorable images to use. I chose Magical Woodland it is so cute. The background is made with the Honeybee layering die set from Birch Press, and I used up scraps of orange, black and yellow card forthe die-cutting. The die-cut sentiment uses a Love from Lizi die and a snippet of black glitter cardstock. Have a look of my teamies' creations, they have made some very pretty cards! Thanks for looking and - Bee Happy! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft! #390 Men Only

Hi, guys! I hope you're all keeping well! We have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is Men Only. Yep, we're asking for those tricky cards for the Blokes! I have made a card for a boy. This is Fenton Frog by Sweet'n'Sassy stamps, he is so cute! ALL the papers and card (except the card base were made with Snippets from the scrap drawer! The sentiment came with the image and I cut it out and layered it onto a folded banner die-cut by Simon Says Stamp, using a scrap of green glittery card. I added green Nuvo Drops as an embellishment as well as two tiny green hearts on the banner. I am determined to make a real effort to use up snippets this year!! Go and see the fab work left on the Challenge blog by my teamies! Thanks for looking and have a great weekend! love Mags B x

My Time to Craft #386 More Than One Fold - but not an easel!!

Image
Hello, my lovelies! I hope you're all keeping well and keeping on top of all the Chrimbo shenanigans! To take your mind off things we have a new Challenge at My Time to Craft! which is More Than One Fold But No Easels! I don't know about you, but an easel card is my default for more than one fold, so I was a bit anxious about this one. However, in the nick of time Jennifer McGuire posted a video on how to make a Double Z-fold card which fits the bill! This is the outside, which looks like an ordinary Z-fold, but when you open it..... I used a printed ready-made card base and stamped and embossed an old Hero Arts stamp across the internal section, masking areas for the sentiments. I coloured the flowers with Zig brush markers. The sentiments are stamped with gold Delicata ink. This was made for a birthday at the end of October, I am pleased to say that the recipient liked it! There is some gorgeous inspiration on the Challenge blog, go and see! Thanks for look...
