A is for Air (anything in the air)


 Hello, welcome to my blog. today we begin a new challenge at Alphabet Challenges. We are beginning from the letter A again. This next A - Z will be the 15th round, which all began in 2011. Today Billie a has chosen our challenge which is A is for Air (anything in the Air) To see the inspiration from the design team, please visit the blog. Why don't you try to begin with the letter A, set yourself a personal challenge of going as far as you can, maybe jumping in and out of the Alphabet along the way to the letter Z, all we can promise you is consistancy, a challenge and a lot of fun. 

For my card, I began with a 6" sq. white card, I cut out a centre panel. Covered the two narrow front panels with silver Mirri card and pale blue card. On the back panel I added sky coloured paper, and a Silver die cut Happy Birthday. I also added three fussy cut areoplanes flying a sortie in the sky. I added a piece of acetate on the front centre panel and added a fussy cut Teddy and aeroplane, along with clouds to reach the two sidde panels, all from a Hunkydory Little Book. I so enjoyed making this card, it was my first with the cut out and using acetate in this way. I even challenge myself. Ha ha.

Hello, thanks for your visit. Today at Pearly Sparkles we begin a new monthy challenge. Claudia has chosen #119 One or more Butterflies. To see the inspirational creations by the design team, please visit the blog.

For my card, I began with a white 6" sq. card. I used two mats, one pale blue the second a pale pink, which are colours featuring on the piece of butterfly meadow paper. I have stamped and die cut three larger butterflies, adding Sparkles glitter to their wings. I also die cut, using the two of the mat colours, 'Hello'.
