Just had to .......

Show you my other card for this weeks Less is More Challenge

White on white

This is it

I used my cuttlebug embossing folder for the background script

and mounted it with a very small border of plain white card.

and the alphabet lettering that I got on my last trip to Australia :-)

The white letters were just right for this card :-)

This shows the depth of the lettering.

Very simple but in the CAS mode :-)

Xmas embossing

Over on CHNC blog this week it's embossing

this is my entry

I used my Sizzix embossing plates to emboss the holly

and then heat embossed the berries using a glittery red 

embossing powder to accentuate them

I stamped out the circular sentiment

& then stamped & embossed the YOU in the same 

embossing powder as the berries.

I used plain red to surround the sentiment & 

a piece of red ribbon across the card

So there you have it - my entry for Hazel's challenge

I'd also like to enter it for the Bah! Humbug - embossing challenge

Dotties World Challenge

Over at Dotties World the Sunday challenge for this week is to do a teenager card using a Dotties World download. Well yesterday I treated myself to the Mikey download so I've risen to the challenge & had a go. I coloured in image with my copic pens & used my nestibilities & a cuttle bug embossing folder swiss dots.

A couple of cards

I had to make a card for my friends birthday today, so being reminded of the lovely card I made during one of Maddy's classes at Sticky Fixers craft club I decided to do one on the same lines :-) The flower motif was made using ink's & embossing powder. The edge of the card was scalloped & then the holes were made with a cropodile. I used the swiss dots embossing folder & matted it onto the matching paper. The sentiment was stamped onto a circle punch & matted onto a scalloped punched circle. I used some of my new stash from Creative Treasures - the ribbon :-)

Again the photography is rubbish - the colours match much better than portrayed - the motif looks 'orangey' but is red!?

So I then decided to do one of the challenges on Crafts by Carolyn. A really nice challenge using Bingo Calls. I've gone for the 'Key of the door' 21 :-) The key is a mountboard die cut which I have alcohol inked.

Anniversary Card

This is an anniversary card that I made for my Mum & Dad's 55th Wedding Anniversary. It went all the way to Oz where they now live.

I used the cuttlebug embossing folder which was inked to make the tag base & used gold embossing powder on black card for the figures, which was stamped then cut out. Punched gold hearts at the top & finished with bits of ribbons.
