#126 Paper Piecing at Ruby's

Hello, I hope you have had an enjoyable time over the Easter holidays.
Here at Ruby's Rainbow it is time for our next challenge which is
Paper Piecing
Please pop over to the blog to see the lovely samples from the Design Team.
I do enjoy the fussy cutting involved with Paper Piecing but thought for this
card I would also include some straight, but maybe no so simple paper piecing.
I chose a shaped card from Kanban to add further interest.
The owls, paper pieced as individual owls,  are actually a stamp of 3 owls from
 Little Claire. The papers used for all elements are from a Dovecraft
 paper pad - Garden Party.
The pearls added from my stash and the greeting is waste from a CD print.

Something Beginning with A

Hi, hope your well and have had an enjoyable Easter.

This week at Cardz 4 Guyz, we have one of my favourite challenges,

Something Beginning with A

We can go as far as our imagination takes us for the letter A.

The DT have certainly had fun with the theme, please take a look.

For my card, I have used a square Kraft card, matted with black card.

The cracked piece of card was created by blending several Distress Inks, 

When dry, I stamped the cracks with a Creative Expressions stamp.

The smaller piece was created by adding DI in a water colour pool, 

adding mica powders, blending the colours and placing your card

into the pool, allowing to dry.

I stamped the image with the Elephant Silhouette from

Little Claire.  The title is from a Sapphire Alphabet Die set. 

Embellished with 3 metal brads. 

Going Round In Circles

Hello, I hope you are enjoying a lovely Easter time.

Today starts a new week of our challenge at Make My Monday.

Going Round In Circles.

The DT have so many circles in their creations, please pop over to see them.

For my card, I am using a round Kanban white scallop edge circle card.

I hae used blue and yellow papers from my stash, using a 

shaped Spellbinders die. 

The round image is a stamp from Little Claire,

coloured with Promarkers, if you look closely, you may see the 

Glossy Accents on the raindrops and puddles. 

In The Springtime

Hello again, today there is a new challenge starting for the

 next two weeks  at Fantasy Stampers.

In the Springtime

Spring officially began yesterday in the UK, so it is apt to celebrate.

The Design Team have had fun with the challenge, please pop and see 

what they have been making.

Within the last few days I was at a Craft event and bought a number of 

stamps from Little Claire, I know, I feel as though the soft side of me

is getting stronger than my dark, grungy, messy side.

The stamp is Little Claire - Cherish Hugs and Dream

I blended Distress Inks Mowed Lawn, Mustard Seed, Fossilized Amber
 and Dusty Concord, then stamped the image, adding one extra butterfly.
I coloured the leave, flowers and butterflies with Promarkers.
I did add glitter to the butterfly wings.
The sentimenta is from my stash.

Using the print outs I cut out the girl and decoupaged her to the main image.

to decorate the card.
