I began with a tall slim card.. I added gold mirri card for the complete background. Followed by a piece of Hunkydory pale blue card,  then a colourful jungle design from a Duo Design Pad  - Iridescent Rainbows and Sparkling Sequins papers. I added a decoupaged Humming bird and flower from a H/D Call of the Wild kit. Across the pale blue lower strip I finally added a sentiment and six pale pink gems to embellish. Have fun.

A Sketch


 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Cardz 4 Guyz. Julie has chosen  

#366 A Sketch. to see the wonderful inspiration by the design team, please visit the blog. 


Following the sketch provided by Julie from the DT, I made my card. On a 6 x 4 in. card, I added a gold Mirri backgound. Using a page from a Hunkydory Little Book of Spring Days and Country Life, I die cut 4  circle layers. I added strips of foam to lift them up and on the centre piece with the chicks I added double the amount for it to be more prominennet. The Springtime stamp is an old wooden stamp. Small gold gem stones added to embellish. Have fun and enjoy your crafting.

Love for anyone you love


Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenges - Pamela on the D.T has chosen #185 Love (For anyone U love). Please visit the blog to see the inspiration created by the design team. 

I began with a scallop edged Kraft card. The red striped background is paper from a pad from The Works. The Kraft card from Jelly Bean Crafts. I used an embossing folder on the Kraft card. A piece of  red ginghamWashi tape added across the card. The hearts are dies from either The Range or The Works. Some of the hearts were heat embossed, others were covered in paper.  I used the same backing paper for the white tag, I used a old faithful stamp for the sentiment.

V is for Vintage


 Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Alphabt Challenges. I have chosen it, this time round.  V is for Vintage. I hope you enjoy using some Vintage stash in your designs. To see the remainder of the design team's creations please visit the blog. 

I began with a 6" square scallop edge card. I added gold Mirr to the base, then added a sheet of vintage style writing. I cut a square of postage marks, then cut this diagonally, to attach each half to opposite corners, to add further vintage interest and dimension. From a Hunkydory Little Book of Vintsage Journeys, I fussy cut two Vintage cars. The white one was placed flat and the green one was raised on foam pads. The sentiment was re-cycled from a received purchased card. A gem was added to the tag.
