CCC challenge - Christmas In August!

Here's my card for the Creative Card Crew 'Christmas in August' challenge! I've used a Lily of the Valley reindeer stamp coloured with promarkers and chalked in pink around the edges. Papermania papers and mirri board and some ribbon I found in my stash :) Thanks CCC!

Stitching Effects

I made this as part of the challenge I set over on MSE to use stitches or stitching effects on cards. I have used a Miss Anya stamp, coloured with my shiny new promarkers and doodled stitches around the edge, forever friends paper and some purple card embossed with divine swirls, plus papermania greeting stamp and glossy accents on her hair bobbles which you can't really see from the pic. Loved making this :)

anniversary card

This is an anniversary card I made for an order, the colour of the wedding was burgundy so Ive tried to keep that theme. Backing paper by papermania, flower from calico crafts plus card candy and a peel off that I don't know who it's by but it's a lovely style of lettering. I really must get an anniversary stamp as I'm getting short of peel off's!

Leaving Card

This is a good luck card for one of my colleagues who is leaving on Friday. I have used my new flourish die and scalloped cards which only arrived today :D

Why I havent made many cards recently!

I've been very busy trying to finish this cross stitch piece, which is now finally done, Ta Dah!! I must admit it's the hardest thing I've done so far, lots of half stitches, combined colours, I almost needed a degree to dechiper the pattern! I took it on for my auntie, as I encouraged her to try it and as she's not a regular cross stitcher she found it a bit much to cope with, I do hope she's pleased with it!

MSE embossing challenge

Penny Black image coloured with whispers pens, cut out with nestabilities layered onto purple paper embossed with Divine swirls cuttlebug folder. Paper sent to me in a stash swap, letters cut out with Banana Split quickcutz alphabet :)

MSE Christmas Challenge

Here's my card for the MSE Christmas challenge! I've used Papermania papers, a Daisy stamp and greeting that was free with the latest issue of Docrafts, and my shiny new nestabilities for the first time! I love them and will definitely be getting more sets :D
