Rainy day card

I'm on a bit of a roll today; two postings in one day! I made this card following a sketch from the Dutch Dare challenge site and I thought I would also enter it into A Spoonful of Sugar challenge (layering - well I have a little bit of layering)

The rain I made with 3D gloss by Anita's, I like the effect it has and also gives a bit of shine to the card.

Thanks for looking.

one card - two challenges

This is my entry for Sketch Saturday challenge #87 and also for Cute Card Thursday (fairy fantastic challenge 96).
I hope you like it.

Here is my entry for this week's Sketch Saturday Challenge #85. Behind the girl are Nellie Snellen frames which I cut out on the cuttlebug. On the top and bottom are envelope insides with which I used a lace punch. The girl is a stamp from Personal Impressions.

Wendy at digital doodling has some wonderful blog candy! You have until 15th January to enter. See it here.

This my entry for Sketch Saturday. I am quite getting into using sketches - a great idea when you are a little stuck for ideas.

stampartic challenge card

This card is my first entry for a Stampartic challenge. In this challenge stitching and masking a stamped image must be used. The background lettering stamp is from Stampsmith and the house is from the Dutch houses set by Avec. (my favourite stamps). The key is a free stamp from Craft Stamper Magazine. I made the flowers, using techniques I have seen on several websites. I decided to leave the house plain white, I think it looks quite effective.
Thanks for looking.

cute card thursday challenge

This week's Cute Card Thursday challenge is to make a card with an aperture. So here's my effort, a last minute Christmas Card. I embossed the front and inside with cuttlebug embossing folders and the aperture was cut out using a frame die from Nellie Snellen. Hope you like it. Oh, I also added quite a bit of glitter, I seem to be addicted to it now!

card for two challenges

This card has been made using a sketch from Get Sketchy. This is for the GS#18 challenge. The second challenge is for Cute Card Thursday,
Their theme is Sew Beady. I think the digi image is from Wendy's Digistamps.

I made this card for a friend at work. When I had finished I couldn't wait to give it to her - she loved it. I made the flowers with the help of a tutorial on Julies Inkspot. I have left a link to her blog earlier.

This is a card I made for a friend who has a Welsh friend. The message inside is in Welsh and English. A very simple but sweet card. I was glad to hear that the recipient was very pleased with it!
