Damsel Fly

Good Afternoon, my card to share today is for my daughter's Goddaughter who is going to be 11 going on 19.  So cute would not be acceptable at all and I also left the number off!! So, I decided to go with bright and glittery, the backing paper is from a cover gift from Cardmaking and Papercraft, the corner image is another cover gift from the same mag coloured with Promarkers, the Damsel Fly is a Clarity stamp.  I stamped it twice, once onto white card, then onto sticky back acetate, and covered the back with cerise glitter from Debbi Moore, I think you can just about see the glitter in the pic. The sentiment is computer generated to which I added a shrink plastic version of the damsel fly.

I am entering my card into:

Many thanks for visiting today and I hope you like my card.

Fire Goddess

Good Afternoon, my card for today is for this weeks CD Sunday Challenge - L is for....  My take on this is L for Light, L is for Layers and possibly L for Love, this isn't too apparent, but the image does say 'To Someone Special' and the card is for a customer to give his girlfriend.  I have used an image and matching backing papers from Debbi Moore's Fire Goddess CD, which came free with her January Magazine.  It has some beautiful images on it, including a fabulous tiger.  The layered backing card is Coredinations, the roses and gems are from my stash and the sentiment is computer generated.

I actually made this card for last weeks A La Mode Challenge, but decided it didn't really fit the bill.  Hence I am quick off the mark with my entry lol.

Thank you so much for visiting.

Stripes

Good Afternoon, well it's Less is More day again and, as usual my white scrap box has filled up nicely again as it is time for a One Layer Card - this time with Stripes.  I found a couple of border stamps with just two vertical lines on them in a Dimension Fourth Art Deco set of stamps.  I knew exactly what I wanted to do, but kept getting the stripes wrong.  Anyhow, I ended up with this card, apart from the stripes I used a Clarity Alium stamp, a small sentiment stamp and some black velvet ribbon which I received at Christmas as part of a Secret Santa gift.  I am not at all happy with this, cos I haven't placed the alium properly, the stripes aren't very even and the sentiment is slightly squint. The silly thing is that when practicing the stripes they always worked perfectly!!  I have a couple of  new ideas floating around so I might be back with another card.

Thanks so much for your visit today

Have a Heart

Good Evening, I am really late today but all the things I tried to do this morning went in the bin, so decided to have another play this evening.  My card is a very clean and simple one for Rainbow Lady's Challenage - Have a Heart.  I decided to make a card for my box that would be good for a wedding or engagement at some point.
The image is Chocolate Baroque stamped and embossed with Wow embossing powder, matted onto a piece of gold mirri from my scrap box and finished off with some organza ribbon and little gold pearls. 

Thank very much for visiting, please feel free to leave a comment.  I do so love reading them

The Time Traveller's Wife

Hi Folks, my share today isn't a card - I've jumped out of my comfort zone and had a play with a tag for DragonsDream TIO Challenge - Time, from the book The Time Traveller's Wife.  The card I have used to make the tag is from a play session I had the other day with Distress Stains, as shown in this month's Craft Stamper.  The clock image is the cover free stamp from an earlier copy of the magazine, the sentiment is from Clarity the flowers and gem are from my stash and the little parcel is an offcut from the original bit of card.  I coloured the ribbon to match.

Thanks for taking the time to visit me today, I am really not sure about this piece as I am very new to inking techniques and am never quite sure if I have pulled it off or not.  Sorry about the pic but my camera and computer don't want to talk to each other, think I need a new cable, so have used my phone to take this one.

Love Is In The Air

Good Morning, I'm struggling a bit at the moment with challenge cards because a lot of them require a Valentines or Love theme.  I have already made the only Valentine card that I need for this year, luckily I need a Wedding Anniversary Card.  The image and backing paper are from the Love Section on Joanna Sheen's Enchanted Dreams CD, I do love this cd.  The matting card, flower and heart shaped hat pins are all from my stash, the sentiment is computer generated.

I am entering my card into  two challenges hosted by CraftyAnn and Joanna Sheen,
Both challenges are Love Is The Air.

I hope you like my card and many thanks for visiting today

Red Shoes

Good Afternoon, my card to share today is for Rainbow Lady's Challenge, which this week is Wear Red Day.  The image is from Debbi Moore's New York CD, the bp is from my scrap box but I am sure that is a Debbi Moore one as well.  The shoes are from a Creative Expressions unmounted  plate stamped with Momento onto a piece of scrap card from my white box, the sentiment is computer generated.

I am also entering my card into the CD Sunday Challenge - A La Mode and Pixie's Snippet Challenge No 6.

Thank you so much for visiting today.
