 #383 Monochrome Colour Palette. To see the creations by the design team, please visit the blog

I cut down a 7 x 7 inch white card to a 6"wide x 6.75 " to accommodate the design, this will still fit into a 7x7 envelope., I added a gold mirri mat, then a piece of paper from an Essential paper pad - Denim by Hunkydory. The topper is from a Hunkydory Little Book of Denim. I added a second layer of the head and collar, also each hand has been fussy cut and added with 3d foam pads.  I know several guys who would love this card. The greetings is a vertical die, also by Hunkydory. The You Rock stamp is from Crafter's Companions. Happy crafting to you all.

Vintage/Mixed Media

 Hello, thanks for your visit. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Monthly Challenges, Francesca has chosen #197 Vintage/Mixed Media. To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. 

I began with a white 5 x 7 inches base card. The papers I used are from parts of two sheets from within a set of Ciao Bella Autumn 12x12 papers. The main topper I created is added onto a piece of card, the added with 3d foam pads to the background. I have added several word and number cut outs. A few material butterflies and a flower. Two sentiments of up-lifting thoughts. Enjoy your crafting. 

Use 2 Dies

Hello, thanks for your visit. Today we begin a new challenge at Make My Monday. Billie a has chosen #271 Use 2 Dies. To see the remainder of the design team's inspiration, please visit the blog.

I began with a smaller than usual card, it being a 5" sq. white scallop edged card. I left it white, the only additions being the 2 dies and a stamped sentment. The circle is by Hunkydory - Moonstone - Sketchy Nesting Frame Circle, the flower is a stamp and die set, which I received from a friend, no maker's name available. I coloured the flower with Promarkers. Added a few crystal gems. Have fun. 

 

Up-Lifting Sentiment

Hello, hope you are well. The weather is pretty dismal her in the UK, rain and more rain. Today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges. Melanie has chosen U is for Up-Lifting - to add a positive/encouraging sentiment to your card. We could all at some time need a little up-lifting thoughts. To see the inspirational cards from the design team, please visit the blog. 

We currently have a design team call for one or two interested crafters to join the team. All details are on the blog. I look forward to hearing from you.

I decided the sentiment was so important - Smile- it looks good on you, so I kept the card fairly simple. a 5 "yellow mat added to a 6" white card. To this I added a piece of light weight card from a 12" sheet of pretty Ciao Bella paper. I thought this was enough to convey the message. Have fun crafting.
