PTW Challenge card - Spots and Stripes

This is my entry for the Papertake Weekly challenge which was spots and stripes. I decided to go for a masculine card, so the Dovecraft Masculine 12x12 stack was perfect. The stripes came from that pack, and the spots from the Papermania For Him stack. These are matted on white card, while the card base is slightly textured. The circles are up on foam dots and finished with a button. I cut the corner piece and again matted it on white and added some half pearls, and the sentiment is some peel off stickers. The corners are rounded to tie in with the scallops and also the inside:


Thanks for looking :)

PTW Sketch Challenge card

This is my entry for this week's Papertake Weekly Challenge, a fab sketch that I will definitely use again.



I used my Stampendous Beaded Bodice stamp - one of the first stamps I bought when I started card making, and still one of my favourites now although I rarely use it. I stamped the image with Versamark, and embossed it using Ranger Antiquities Chinese Red embossing powder. It's all layered up on misc red and black card, and I've added clear gems and a sentiment created in MS Word.

I'm really getting into these challenges now, and they're really helping me come up with new ideas so you'll be seeing a lot more entries in future!

Digi-stamped card

This card was digi-stamped using 'Vicky' from Sketching Stamper, then the dress was paper pieced using K&Co Sparkly Sweet paper (close-up below)



I layered her up on Core'dinations CS and matted it on black. The background is the same paper again matted on black and to break it up I added the black Dovecraft ribbon. The image panel is popped up on foam pads and I added 3mm Artwork crystals to finish it off.

As it turns out, paper piecing is my favourite technique (this week anyway), so it fits in with the challenge over at Charisma Cardz: "My Favourite Things". Looks like I'll be entering my 2nd challenge in as many days!

Thanks for popping by!

Papertake Weekly Challenge Entry

Well, I've been saying for ages that I'm going to enter one of the many challenges I've come across, and here it is: my first ever challenge entry!



It's an A6 card for the Papertake Weekly Challenge, and it was to include 1 circle, 2 ribbons and 3 stamps. The circle is the nestabilities, the two ribbons are small but definitely there, and it gave me the opportunity to use my MFT Punny Farm stamp set which I love, but find hard to use (in a creative sense, not literally!). I paper pieced the hat and wellies using K&Co Sparkly Sweet DP, and used another sheet from the same block for the background layer. I coloured the rest of the image using Whispers markers.


Thanks for looking as always
