Blue Flowering Flourishes

Yaaaay! I'm a Featured Artisan over at Paper Craft Crew so a big "Thanks" to their DT.

Today's card is for two challenges.


 

The first is this sketch from a new site I've found at Paper Craft Crew

and second, these colours from ColourQ    

Here is my card

I started by randomly stamping the flourish in Brilliant Blue on Bashful Blue card and then embossing this with a fan EF, before sponging the edges. A border punch was used to make the yellow strip, and then a black ribbon wrapped around it. The sentiment was stamped on some Naturals card which was then cut in a Nestie and tucked under the yellow strip with a flower and some ribbon. All this was then layered on a white card base.

Supplies :

Card = Bashful Blue, Daffodil Delight, Blue and White base FMS

Stamps= Flowering Flourishes and Verve

Inks = Brilliant Blue

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Shapeabilities, Martha Stewart border punch, and SU Fan EF

Extras = Ribbon and 3D pads

Thanks for looking today, and I'll be back soon

                                        

Doggy Birthday

This is the birthday card I made for my step sister Cassy, whose special day is today. I couldn't post it until now or she would have seen it. She has recently become a mum to a rescued brindle greyhound called Mutley, hence the doggy card.

Recipe :

Card = Tempting Turquoise, Daffodil Delight, Pear Pizzazz and Whisper White

Stamps = Inspired by Nature and Verve

Inks = Tempting Turquoise, Bashful Blue, Certainly Celery and TH Tea Dye

Tools = Big Shot, Nestabilities, Shapeabilities, Die Monde Dog die, and Readicut flower punch

Extras = Ribbon and 3D pads

I've been so busy over the last few days, what with the Olympic Torch running through the town, trip to the Safari Park, and 2 Birthday parties, so I haven't had any time for crafting.

I have, however, had time to photograph the Candy I have on offer, so please read the following post for rules of entry

More crafting may come this week so please call again, and Thanks for stopping today.
