Merry Monday #5

Merry Monday everyone :). Lesley selected my card from last weeks Merry Monday Challenge as a winner. I am so excited that next week I get to be a guest designer.

 

For this week I wanted to do a little colouring with my Tombow's I really don't use them enough. I also found this beautiful lace like mulberry paper, I am not all that sure it matches the card but I don't care :) I was determined to use it.

Supplies: Natural While and Burgundy cardstock, Designer Paper - My Mind's Eye, Frogs Whiskers Ink-Poinsettia, Cornish Heritage Farms-Christmas Greetings.

Clean and Simple Stamping #175

It has been a long time since I have played along with the Clean & Simple stamping challenge. The challenge does shows paper piercing, but I know I can not manage a whole frame of piercings.

I received  my new The Stamps of Life set and wanted to ink it up, I love the flowers that Stephanie creates. Simple enough -  I stamped the flowers and heat embossed them with brown, same with the sentiment, both are popped up with foam tape. I also inked all the edges.

Supplies: Cream and brown cardstock, Designer Paper-Authentique, The Stamps of Life-list2write, misc ribbon, Recollections-pearls.

Freshly Made Sketches #19

Another week has zoomed on by and it is time for a new challenge at Freshly Made Sketches.
 

I went with a simple square card, I have been wanting to use this stamp for a long time so I inked it up with brown ink, then added small dots with yellow glitter pen where the pods meet the stalk. I did the same to the flower centres on the designer paper. I finished with adding double bands of ribbon and pearls.

Supplies: Natural white and brown cardstock, Design Paper-Basic Grey, Studio G-Botanical Background,  Hot of the Press- Tiny Words, misc ribbons, Recollections pearls.

It has been a wonderful month of challenges for me as a Guest Designer, it has been amazing to share the creative spotlight with all these very talented cardmakers. Thank for having me ladies, see you on the other side of the Linky tool :).

Cheers,
