Crafts-too challenge blog and giveaway.

Crafts-too have set up a new challenge blog with 2 challenges a month:
'A new challenge will begin on the first Friday of the month. There will be one theme for that month but each fortnight there will be a new 'Twist' where the challenge will have a different focus to add to the main theme'.
To launch the new blog they're also having a giveaway which ends on 31st July.

 

Pop over to the blog and follow the instructions here to enter the giveaway.

Christmas shopping!

I decided to join the Penny Black Saturday Challenge and make a 'Christmas in July' card.
The backing paper is from the Christmas Past cd by Docrafts Digital Designer. The stamped image is 'Favorite Time' by Penny Black and is coloured in with Promarkers. I'm not very good at colouring in and rarely use my Promarkers - I must spend sometime finding out how to do shading.

Dance

CD Sunday have chosen the theme of Dance this week. I've been busy making ATCs this week so my card is a digital one from Greeting Card Factory.

Kimono

The theme on CD Sunday is Kimono and on the Ribbon Girl blog it's 'pink' so I've combined the two themes and made this card:

I've used 2 cds, one is Joanna Sheen Oriental Dreams for the backing paper. And the kimono is a combination of 2 designs printed on top of each other. The plain pink background is from Serif Frou Frou - elegance then I overprinted it with another design from the JS cd. I used a template to make the kimono then finished it off with some sparkly peel offs.

Birthday card swap part 2

These are the rest of the cards that I made for people in the birthday card swap.

 

This last one I've had to lighten the photo so that the embossed background shows up. In real life the red is a deep red - more like the colour of a post box!
