Challenge #221 - Super Sketch

Super Sketch Sunday at 365cards involved a fun circle element. So I broke out this circle scallop border sticker and traced it to create the orange section. Then I jus added a sentiment sticker and some white gel pen stitches and hey presto!

I'm trialling some different ways to photograph my cards. This photo was taken outside on the steps with a white tshirt draped over them for a neutral background. I am still tweaking the effects in photoshop to get the colours right. This one is a bit saturated but I guess practice will make perfect. (I also need to iron the shirt I think!)

Challenge #220 - Missed Oppurtunity

The challenge at 365cards was to try a challenge that you missed in the past. Well I loved this sketch from challenge #200 so I gave it a go. It was a good oppurtunity to make good use out of some of my border punches

Made it through another huge pile of card bases today - have been scoring more whilt watching tv tonight. It makes it so much easier if I have them all ready to go!

Challenge #217 - Long and Lean

The challenge today at 365 cards was to make a card that was 3x5 in dimension. I used what was on my desk to make this and it all came together pretty quickly.

I love instagram. It makes taking photos and sharing them so easy! It's not the same quality of other images but for uploading a quick snippet it is deffinately worth it.

Primary Colours

Some cards I made using MME paper pad The Sunny Side. Love the primary colours, I was unsure about them at first, but once I started playing I realised these classic colours are super fun!

 How cute are these bikes and banners?

I mucked around with this second one for a while and it's something a bit different but I think I pulled it together in the end.
Happy crafting

Tiny Scraps

The perfect design for those tiny paper scraps! Punch little shapes out of the offcuts left from other cards. Hearts are so small that almost any scrap is big enough. It was a little fiddly to stick all the hearts onto the card front, but well worth it in the end!

Happy Crafting

Love you just the way you are

Love this butterfly punch from Martha Stewart Crafts. A few pearls or rhinestones are the perfect addition to make them sparkle.

This sentiment is from a lable sticker sheet from My Minds Eye. So cute. I love a sentiment that is a bit different from the standard Happy Birthday or Thank You.
Happy Scrapping

Challenge #188 - 21st Century

The challenge today over at the 365Cards blog was to be inspired by technology from the 21st Century. Well I thought about social media and mobile phones and was inspired to use text talk for my sentiment.

Here's my card - hope you like!
