One or More Butterlies.

 

Hello and welcome. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday - Sue has chosen 

#254 One or More Butterlies. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a plain white 6" sq. card. I added a lilac piece of card for a mat. I cut and positioned the lower part of a sheet from a Hunkydory A5 paper pad - Butterfly Meadow, From another sheet I fussy cut the three butterflies, then with 3d foam pads added them to the page on the card.The sentiment is a piece of acetate with the sentiment Get Well Soon. This is resting on a vellum strip to help reading the acetate. Finally I added a few light purple gemstones to the upper right corner. Take cae.

Fairytale/Storybook

 Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenges with Samantha's choice - #189 Fairytale or Storybook. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a scallop edge 6" white card. Somethime ago I bought a 'Frozen' card making kit magazine., and fortuately I still have  a good supply remaining. I used a piece of blue card for a mat. I then added a background and the sentiment from the kit. I die cut the three characters . Added them to die cut card circles on which I had added glitter, (non-shedding) paper.The circles were added with foam pads. I think this is a nice happy bright card suitable for lots of little girls. Stay well. 

E is for Embossing Wet or Dry

Hello, welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges, Deborah has chosen E is for Embossing either the Wet or Dry Technique. To see the remainder of the design team's inspirational cards please visit the blog. 

I have made a simple, white A6 card, i.e 6" x 4".I firstly cut a strip of paper to fit the embossing folder and used Distress inks to blend the colours. I then used a 2" x 5.5" strip of a rose embossing folder. Given time to dry, I then sandpapered the strip to create the white parts on the design. I then matted and layered this onto white and tan card. A sentiment strip, from my stash,  was added. Happy embossing.

For the back and the two sections at the front of the card, I added a light lilac card mat and then Hunkydory Butterfly Jewels Designer backing paper. For the easel section I used a purple background, the added a decoupaged sheet from a Hunkydory Little Book of Butterfly Jewels.  For the stopper section on the base of the card, I used left over pieces from two of the LB pages used for the decoupage.

I began with a 6" sq. plain white card for the base. A coral/orange mat. I used an embossing folder on the piece of blended blue card and the blended oranges card. The blue was cut for two border pieces, the gap was covered with a deep blue card. Both  of the embossed colours were sandpapered to present the white colour on both. I used Sheena Douglass shell stamps added a piece of hessian. Finally I addded pearl gems and varied colours of ocean sequins. The design and instructions I gleamed from a Simply Cards and Papercraft #245 magazine , which provided the E.F.  Happy shell creating. 

 

Something Fishy

Hello and welcome to my blog. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday, Guylaine has chosen #253 Somthing Fishy. I so love this title, there are many ways to include fish in our craft world, I think the design team have shown this in their inspirational cards. Please visit the blog to see them. 

For my card, I started with a white 6" card, I folded the front page back, to create a Fold back card or maybe called a 'Z' fold card. I mounted black card on the half piece and the back page. The following papers/card added are from a Hunkydory Sporting Silhouettes design kit. I added 3 small square gems to complete. I hope you enjoy the challenge.
