A Catty Challenge

 

This is my entry for CASE-ing the Catty Challenge #9 - a fab challenge where you use sections of the catalogue as the starting point for your own project. This week's section is the 'Thanks' part. I was inspired by the box on page 148. My version has Melon Mambo and Basic Grey flowers cut using Flower Fair Framelits and the background is Typeset dsp. I've taken the sentiment from Another Thank You, but I've made it using MDS, so I could shrink it down to a small tag. I hope you like it! April x

An Embellishment Challenge

 

This is my entry for SUO Challenge 105 which has a focus on embellishments. Well who could resist? I decided to see how many embellies could reasonably be squeezed on a small card! The base card and a couple of stickers are from the Hip Hip Hooray card kit. I have added the deer from the White Christmas stamp set who is standing under an embellishment sky - a silver glimmer brad (sadly retired) and a scattering of rhinestones. There is also some Retro Fresh washi tape, glimmer paper stars and a couple of Baked Brown Sugar sequins. A lot of fun to make! April x

 

A Sketch Challenge

 

 A last gasp entry for 52 (Christmas) Card Throwdown. I have used the Festival of Trees stamp set here, along with some Trim the Tree dsp. Silvery spatters are courtesy of Gorgeous Grunge and the tiny stars are made from Glimmer paper using the fabulous Confetti punch. Now off to complete a steak and kidney pie! April x

A Colour Challenge

 

This is my entry for this week's Nacho Average Challenge #106 which is a colour challenge using Coastal Cabana, Crisp Cantaloupe and Daffodil Delight - a very yummy combo of colours that I would never have put together in a hundred years!

I have used the lovely Four Feathers stamp set along with Pictogram Punches. There are some Coastal Cabana sequins, washi tape and a bit of glimmer paper thrown in for good measure. I hope you like it! April x

White Christmas Workshop

 

Here is one of the cards we will be making at the White Christmas workshop on Thursday, 25th September. It is a snow globe card - you can shake it and move all the confetti stars around. No wonder that polar bear looks a bit confused! There are actually many more glittery stars, but for this photo they have all migrated to the edges, rather annoyingly. I hope that you can join us -all the details are in my previous post. Please book quickly though, as there are only a few places remaining. April x
