Let's Celebrate
Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday, Tee has chosen #230 Let's Celebrate. To see the inspiration created by the design team, please visit the challenge blog.
For my card, I began with a 5 x 7" white card. I covered the base with a light blue paper. From a Hunkydory Little Book - Memorable Moments - I chose this adorable sheet to decoupage, sadly this doesn't show well in the phot. This is laid on a gold Mirri card. I added a sentiment - Happy Anniversary.
Lots of best wishes, take care and have fun.

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenges. As it is my turn to choose a theme, I chose #178 One For the Boys! (Any age). To see the inspiration created by the design team, please visit the challenge blog.
For my card, I began with a 6" white card. The mat is a sheet of soft green plaid. I created a strip across the centre, mat white layer, paper the same as the large mat sheet, with the addition of a teal colour, picking up from the golf bag. The sheet with the images and decouapge of the golf bag are from Hunkydory -Sq. Little Book - Here's to Him. Sentiment created from stash. Have fun.

H is for Holidays
Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we return to the Alphabet Challenge and this time round Helen has chosen for the letter H. -H is for Holidays - Summer or Christmas in July. To see the wonderful inspiration by the design team, please visit the blog.
I used a white 6" card. A dark blue Mirri card for the mat. The background card is a silk card, embossed with a snowflake embossing folder,. I then gently added a few DI of blue shades to the card. The main image is with a stamp from Visible Image named appropriately - Christmas Junper. I added colour with Promarkers a light blue pencil for shading and glitter, lots of gliter. The snowman and sentiment are on the same stamp set. An additional sentiment is a die cut using the same blue Mirri as I used for the large mat.
I hope you enjoy the challenge.

I blended into the centre with Broken China and Stormy Sky. I blended the outer edges, going partly to the centre with first, DI Chipped Sapphire and then with Hunkydory Prism Blue Lagoon. I sprayed with water and patted it dry, then it was heated dry with a heat tool. I stamped randomley with Versamark Sketched Snowflakes by Visable Image , heat embossing with Stampendous Detail White embsoosing powder. I finally added a sprinkle of silver sequins. The sentiment on the same stamp sheet was also heat embossed. I hope you enjoy the challenge, we all need to start sometime making our cards for Christmas.
