Challenge card

This is a card that I made as part of a crad making challenge for the Methven Show. We were given the green florish, black card and the With sympathy words precut out. This is what I came up with, using the Field Flowers stamp set. Was great to see the many different ways these three elements were used. Gluing or sticking down the words was the most challenging. And I ended up being penalised because my 'h' in sympathy wasn't stuck down properly.
The flowers were stamped using Perfect Plum and Elegant Eggplant.
Thanks Elsa for the challenge.

Scrapbook page

On Saturday was the Methven A&P show. I put in several entries in under Arts and crafts, knitting and cooking sections.This is one of the scrapbook pages I submitted which did well.
I have used papers from the Sunshine and Sprinkles set.

Its your birthday

I have made this card using the stamp set Henry Says.So cute.I cased this card from Andi Potler but used different ribbon and my elephant was stamped onto basic grey cardstock.
Stamps:Henry Says
Paper:starfruit Summer, Basic Grey,Real red, Natural Ivories
Ink:Black, Real Red,Summer starfruit
Accessories: Real red ribbon,embossing folder,circle punches,stampin write markers

Swallowtail embossed

I saw a card made similar to this with white embossing. I thought I'd try the card using Tangerine Tango embossing powder.
The swallowtail butterfly looks great embossed in any colour.
I have teamed it with buttons from the Sale-a-bration brochure.

This is the original card that I cased.

NZSU creative colour challenge

NZSU set a challenge to us a colour combination from the colour coach. This is my combination: Raspberry Ripple ,Old Olive and Pretty in pink. I have used the stamp set Bloomin Marvelous from sale-a-bration to make this card.
Thanks for the challenge.

Spritzer to the rescue

This is the card that I posted on 18th February. I liked what I had stamped (it had been a card that we had made at our last team meeting) but I'm not a great fan of big areas unstamped or not embossed.
So I got my spritzer out and spritzed a little bit of Basic Grey round  the card. I think it looks ok.

Honycomb flower

Yet another card made with the honeycomb embossing folder. Just a few hexagons filled in with designer paper give a different affect.
Stamps:Create a Cupcake
Paper:Basic Grey, In colour patterned designer paper stack
Ink:Basic Grey
Accessories:Honeycomb embossing folder, Summer starfruit ribbon,window punch, modern label punch, non SU hexagon punch

Love that Honeycomb folder

This is another card that I have made using the Honeycomb embossing folder with the hexagons cut out and placed on the card. again I cheated and used a Creative Memories hexagon punch. The overall effect is so cool.
Stamps:Curly Cute
Paper:Pacific Point, Tea for Two dsp,Vanilla, Basic Grey
Ink:Basic Grey
Accessories:  Honeycomb embossing folder,Lace ribbon, 13/8" circle punch, Non SU hexagon punch
