And then... Daring Cardmakers Favourite Things Challenge...

This is a chance to go mad with the papers, embellishments, tools and styles you really love to use.
I'd like you to use at least 5 of your own personal favourite things on your card this week - if you can make it 10 then you can claim our DCM Gold Star - virtual, of course lol.

 

Hope you like this... I have added rather a few photos as I am just realllllllllllllly pleased with how it has turned out!

 

Some of my favourite things I used on this card were...

1.  Embossing, as in dry ... just love changing the look of papers.

2. Water-colouring... I painted the images with water-colour.. love their effect.

3. Glitter... what girlie doesn't love glitter!  Used a lovely yellow one here for the centre of the daisies.

4.  Feather.. as I thought it added some soft texture to the card.

5.  Flowers... I made these for this card using lots of different papers that I have and in different sizes.. adorable!

6.  Ribbon... love this polka dot brown ribbon.. goes so well with the colours too!

7.  Handmade paper with flowers in... luxury and I  use very little as soooo nice!

8. Heart Gem Stones... in pink too.. woooah!

9.  Shimmer Paints... used these on top of the water-colour paints on the steps... to give it that lovely glimmer... fantastic!

10.  Glitter Pen... Oh how I love my glitter pen... want it on everything!  I used a clear glitter on the card and on the envelope a pink and silver one.

11.  Stamps...my faithful daisy stamp on the envelope... just love it!

Think I should stop now lol...

I also  have added this to Just Us Girls Challenge..some really lovely challenges out there.. I could just keep going and going... someone stop me!!

Great challenge from C.R.A.F.T Challenge this week.

Crafty Pad Challenge.. No 42

CRAFTY PAD CHALLENGE NO 41

This was the sketch this week... and a lovely one at that!  I have to say that I do like sketches.

I did use some trimcraft Christmas papers on this one.. they are lovely to work with.  Of course I decorated the envelope too!

Fab's Big Christmas Challenge - Round/Bauble... 41

Came across this funky little blog doing Christmas card challenges and thought I could join in with this one!  The subject was round... so I made these two round cards... they are double sided and do open up ... also have a liner and I made some nice card envelopes to put them in!...

Challenge Card - The Crafty Pad and Creative Card Crew!

 

The Creative Card Crew required - Scallops this week... so I included the below competition too!

I used this lovely image on a card the other week for a friend with cancer.. sadly she passed away and I never knew if she got the card or not.  Seeing as it is such a lovely image I decided to do another card with it so I can see the image in a more delightful note not sorrow.

After printing off two images, I water-coloured both and cut one out.  Used a little glitter there too... I think it is pretty and bright! I even put a strip of the paper down the envelope.. as I tend to think that we forget to decorate those and they are the first thing that we see!
