Farewell card

In my Chorus we have had the pleasure of the company of a temporary tenor. She is a young German lady who has been working in Perth as an au pair. I have had the pleasure of singing with her and she has the sweetest voice.  She will be leaving us shortly and travelling around Australia before returning home.

The Chorus asked me to make her a card. I know that she has done a triathalon whilst she's been here so I incorporated music and a bicycle into her card.

I've entered this in Soul Scrapper's challenge CC49 where I needed to use a sentiment in a circle on my project.

My friend is the one on the right. She is having fun performing a skit at our Chorus retreat.

I will miss her.

Dimensional card for Week 138 at Papercrafter's Corner

Above is the Week 138 Magazine cover challenge at Papercrafter's Corner.  I won Week 137's cover with a card I made.

I have made another card for this challenge. I've always liked using squares on my projects, particularly overlapping ones.  Here is my card.

There was a twist this week. You had to use at least one stamp. I used two similar flower stamps. I stamped them using brown and orange ink separately on to squares and then layered the squares up. I've used some foam squares to give some dimension. I've also added a few rhinestones and some matching buttons. I used the same colour palette as the magazine cover, but I've used a dark brown as the base for contrast.

Thanks for looking. Why not enter this challenge yourself?

Mother's Day card

Today I created a card using this picture as my inspiration.




It is week 37 magazine cover challenge for Papercrafterscorner.com.  I was drawn to this image.

I've used the large red flower, green leaves, a white background and a black title.  Here is my card.

The flower is by Manor House. The red colour is just gorgeous.

Anniversary card

I have made a wedding anniversary card for my husband.  I chose to use brown and cream as my colour scheme, kind of vintage and masculine. This card is for my design example at Unstampabelles challenge this month.

March - Unlock Your Potential TWIST add a key

The key element I added is a sticker from a G45 sheet which had vintage elements.

Here is my card called You & Me.



This is the prize up for grabs. I hope you can join in.
