Cards und More

Morning all.
Just a quick post to remind you that there is a new challenge over at Cards und More. This time the theme is -

GET WELL SOON

This is an extra card I made yesterday so apologies for the dreadful photo, I was going to take another but it went dark too soon! Not quite got my head around the clock change here in the UK.


This is based on the sketch over at CAS(e) this sketch.



I was immediately drawn to this by the butterfly shapes so decided to stick with the theme for my get well card. My son says that his old childminder is due to go in to hospital soon so I made this for him to give her. The butterfly die cuts are by Memory Box, the Dp is NitWits and the sentiment phrases are from STAMPlorations. Sequins and beads from the stash.

OK, see you back in a little while for the latest challenge over at Cardz4Guyz.

Numbered Birthday

Good morning everyone, the weekend is here again so it's time for crafting with us at Fantasy Stampers .
This week the lovely Jan has chosen the theme of -

 Numbered Birthday

We are always need a card like that, young or old, male or female. My inspiration for the DT is this pretty girlie card.


I  put a 60 on the card, however you could put any number you want. Wouldn't it be great to make a card with a personal touch and use the actual age of the recipient. Don't do what I did to my SiL though and made her a year older than she was! The sketch is also great for a guy's card just change the DP to a more masculine pallette and match your image colouring to the papers you choose.
I used some off cuts of my favourite Nit Wits Perfect Pear set from an other project as this sketch layout is great for using up odd bits n bobs. The trick is to bring the colours together in your image. The squares were punched out using a Woodware punch but you could just cut them using a paper trimmer. They were then placed on a matching piece of card leaving an even gap between the DP squares and mounted on a 6 x 6 white base card. I've kept it clean and simple without too many added extras.
This image is LOTV's New Hat stamp coloured with Copics as follows-
Pink - RV10,13,15
Green - YG11,13,17
Hat n Hair - YR21, E30,31,33,35,37
Skin - E000,00,11,R20
