I have been having a crafty day, as it is so wet and miserable outside.
I have cut this on my cuttlebug, using scalloped circles, and plain circles.
The wee stamp is by Stampin Up and it fits the scallop punch perfectly.
I tied some string around it, and added a wee silver apple charm.
I am entering it in the following
Emergency Crafters - circles
Polkadoodles - Summer (the colours are summery)
Paper Minutes - charms

It's been a while!!
It has been over a month since I have been able to make any cards, as we have been away on holidays! I have been having a little play with oil pastels, and created this card following the directions of Helen Chilton in Craft Stamper magazine.
The stamp is from Hero Arts, and the die-cut is Memory Box.
I stamped the image twice more on teal/blue card, and cut and layered them, one over the original image, and one for an embellishment.
I would like to enter the following challenges
Paperminutes for 'no people or animals'

Simply Create Too for use it twice (I used 2 flowers)

Black and White
I love black and white, so when I saw this challenge at Just Some Lines, I knew I had to enter.
I have used a white diecut shape that was sent to me and added a rub on sentiment by Kaisercraft. I made the flower from a Basic Grey 6x6 pad called 'Out of Print', finished off with a candi type stick-on
Hope you like it!
Edited to add that I drew first place with this card - how exciting!

My take on bunting
I made this recently for a thank-you item. The pink background has a lovely texture with a gold fleck through it.
The sentiment is gold embossed and cut out with a label die, and is slightly raised in the centre.
The butterfly, which was a gift from a fellow crafter, has been coloured with gold, and gold halo Lumiere paints and also used the gold to edge the pink card
Challenges entered
Whimsy Inspirations - things with wings
Southern Girls - things with wings
Emergency Crafters - also wings.

Friends
I was rather pleased with the way this one finished.
I found a lovely background to print from Astrid's site, and have layered it onto blue metallic card.The nesties label is cut with my cuttlebug and the words are a lovely rub-on that I bought in Australia. I tied the label on with matching blue sheer ribbon, cut out a flower from some old lace and adhered it to blue card. I coloured the pearls and rhinestones with copics. (used 3 of each)
I would like to enter the following challenges
Polkadoodles - use 3 of something (it's their 3rd birthday)
Artful Times #5 - ribbon and lace
Joanna Sheen - remember when (has a nostalgic look)
The Squirrel & The Fox - friends
