Friday Sketchers Challenge Card

I fell in love with the template for this card as soon as I saw it and really like the idea of layering up so many papers.

The papers are My Mind's Eye summer papers. I've used an ek border punch and some white ribbon. I've stamped the sentiment and edged everything using purple ink. The butterfly is punched and I've added gems to its body and the top of the card. I've used white gel pen to add faux stitches around the sides.

Vintage Santa Card

I've used an imaged from a vintage Santa card and printed off four copies so that I could use it for decoupage. I've layered up papers from Papermania's 'A Christmas Carol' and mirriboard. The sentiment is embossed and I've added some brads.

This is my entry for this week's ABC Christmas Challenge.

Smile Card

My Grandma's been having a really tough time of things recently, so I wanted to make her a card that would really cheer her up. If there's one thing that's guaranteed to make her smile, it's my little boy, James!

The template is from the current docrafts Creativity! magazine. I've used autumnal backing paper that came free with a recent copy of Quick Cards.

It doesn't show up very well here, but I've used quite a bit of glitter on the card - Anita's glitterations for the border, and stickles gold around the photo and to write the sentiment. The buttons and ribbon are from the Papermania sunshine capsule collection. I've inked the edges using distress inks.

Stocking Card

This is my entry for this week's Sketch and Stash challenge, which is to use a sketch.

I've mainly used new stuff from the docrafts festive goody bag (papers, embellishments, ribbon), only the base card, red ribbon and red ink are new.

Monochromatic Christmas Card

This is a combined Winter Wonderland and Moving Along with the Times challenge card.

The stamp is from the docrafts festive goody bag, papers are from Kaban. I've used red jewels and red ribbon, and bits of silver, to add a little life to the black and white.

Christening Card

My sister asked me to make a Christening card for her friend's little boy. It's my entry for this week's Sketch and Stash challenge.

What's new?... The digital stamp, from Mo's Digital Pencil.

What's from my stash?... Downloaded papers, from Pink Petticoat, Promarkers, ribbon and mirror card.
