This week over at Less is more is "Thankyou or Congratulations".

I have used a Little Claire stamp - pom pom dahlia and coloured it with pro markers. The Thankyou is an old foam stamp I got when I first started crafting.

Just For Fun - Triangles

This weeks challenge at Just For Fun is "Triangles".

This is a shape I don't use very often so I had to scratch my head a little to come up with something.

After several attempts at feeding my bin I used a trianular shaped domino (I suddenly remembered that I had some in my stash!)

I coloured the edges with a black permanent marker and then coloured with alchohol inks. I added a metal flower that I had coloured with pro markers. Glued a jump ring to the back and threaded velvet ribbon through.

Just for Fun - Squares

Happy Easter to one and all!

I have the day to myself so have been having a play in my craft room and come up with this card using all my scraps!
I have weaved some strips of paper making them look like squares and used this as my background. Stuck on a prima flower and a square button to the middle.

This is entry number 2 this week at Just for Fun

Less is More - One Layer and a Sentiment - Take Two

I hope this card is more of what the DT had in mind for this weeks challenge at Less is More.

I have used T!m Stamps and added some stickles to the flower and slightly coloured the sentiment with distress ink.

Just For Fun - Circles

This week over at Just for Fun we are asked to use circles.

I have made a card using an embossing folder and I coloured it with Distress inks. I added some gems and the circular "Happy Birthday" stamp.

Less Is More - One Layer and a Sentiment

This week at Less is More they are asking for One Layer Cards with a Sentiment.
I have used my butterfly swirl stamp and a Happy Birthday. I coloured the flowers with promarkers and then added the tiniest gems I could find to the centre of some of the flowers. I then added a ribbon with a butterfly.




***** This post has been withdrawn from the challenge as the sentiment isn't quite big enough***** (I'm still learning with this challenge:)

Just For Fun - Anything Goes week

This week at Just For Fun is an Anything Goes week - create anything for this fifth Thursday of the month.

I have been busy making tissue paper flowers for a project with the school I work for. I have made them into a table decoration and added die cut leaves which I added cosmic shimmer to.

I made three of these and the school love them.





This can also be entered into the Allsorts challenge this week which is Blooming marvellous.
