Fishing

Fishing is one of my other halfs hobby's so this card was made for him. It fits the MTTC sports themed challenge perfectly so this is my sample to show. My base card is a 5x5 which I used some scraps of paper to create my border. The image is a digi image which after printing and colouring I used a wonky rectangle spellbinders die to cut it out and inked the edges before removing the die. I drew around the die for a faux layer and layered the two pieces together. This was then placed onto my card, I used card candi to complete my card.

Roses

My card today is made using one of my favourite stamps. It is an older card but thought it was very suitable for the MTTC blog 'Aperture' challenge. I started with an A5 card and cut my oval aperture in the centre of the front of my card. I stamped and coloured the full rose image on the inside of my card so it could be seen through the aperture. I then stamped and coloured teh image another couple of times cut out a small section of one of them leaving a small border to use on the outside in the bottom corner. I then did the same for the top corner only using the flower heads which I decoupaged. I then added gems to finish.

Floral

This is my DT sample for Emmas crafty challenge, the set theme this time is 'Floral' My base card is 6x6 to which I added a layer of lilac pearl card trimmed to leave a small border. the second layer is embossed using an embossilicious folders, again trimmed to leave a small border. I then attached ribbon to co-ordinate with teh lilac card. My topper was made using a tonic die I recently bought, I cut the main die in white card and then used the outer die to create the silver mirror card layer. I did the same for the sentiment layer using white and lilac card. I added my layers to my card, and finished by adding a sentiment, bow, flowers and droplets used from http://www.threecscreations.com/

With sympathy

Making sympathy is very hard for me as I don't like to make them. This one I made as a request from my mum so couldn't refuse. This is the theme for MTTC challenge this week so here goes. It is a very simple card, starting with an A6 card I used silver mirror card as my first layer leaving a small border. I then used a piece of white card slightly smaller than the mirror card and used a border embossing forlder at the top and bottom. I used a spellbinders die to cut the cross and drew around it to creat a faux layer, after layering them together they were placed onto my card. A peeloff sentiment was added to finish off.

Glamorous 20's

My DT sample for MTTC, the theme is using the two colours turquoise and brown. I wasn't sure I liked this colour combo at first but as I made my card it kind of grew on me. My base card is 8x8 and started with a brown mat. I then used turquoise card and embossed using an embosilicious folder and inked around the edges. I cut out two shapes from the same set of spellbinders dies, I inked both of them before removing the die. My image is a stamp from Kanban which I coloured using spectrum noir pens. I layered both my die shapes onto brown card so it could be seen through the shape. I used foam pads on my image and two shapes and then placed them onto my card finishing by adding some gems.
