A Slimline Card

 Hello and weldcome to my blog. Today at Make My Monday we begin a new challenge, Wei has chosen #154 A Slimline Card. They have become the latest revival in the craft world.  for details please go to the blog, where you will also see the inspiration from the design team. 

For my card, I was inspired by a card in the Creative Stamping #98 magazine. I used a selection of Distress Inks, Versaclair and Promarker alcohol pens to colour the card and main image. The stamps are from the Hunkydory stamps - Fruity Fun, with the magazine.  A die cut oval holds the main image, added with 3d foam pads. Hope you are well, stay safe and enjoy your crafting, 

Christmas Music

 

Hello, thanks for popping by. Today we begin a new challenge at Sparkles Christmas Challenges, this is a monthly challenge. For August our challenge is #127 Christmas Music. For more details and to see the inpiration from the design team, please pop over to the blog. 

For my card, a 6" white card, I used Kraft card to emboss a music sheet, not being, in any way a music reader, I haven't a clue as to what the music is, but like me, let's pretend it is a sheet of Christmas music. The stamp is definely suitable for the challenge, the Christmas chior is by LOTV.  I coloured with Promarkers, die cut an oval shape and used Vintage photo to soften the white card. Joy to the World  from my Christmas stash is my chosen sentiment.

For my card I have a 6"white square card, a black mat, The main blue area is a piece from a light weight card pad from The Works, great value. I then stamped into the centre the square stamo of Peony Flowers by Lisa Horton. I watercoloured the flowers and leaves using Koh -I - Noor watercolours. When dry, I highlighted with Tooli-Art Glitter Paint Pens and a white  Sakura Gel pen.  Sadly you can't see the glitter until the card is moved. A small sentimet of 'Thank You' added.
