I used the purse from the picture as inspiration for this card. I used the stitching dies to depict the stitching that's on the purse. Made a flower with the circle scribble dies and of course I had to use a button for the flower centre.

Papertrey Ink Blog Hop - July

Such a beautiful inspiration picture for this month's PTI blog hop.

 Inspiration for this card came from the bird, the colours and the background in the picture.

Fusion Card Challenge - French Cupcakes

Love the colours in this week's inspiration photo at Fusion Card Challenge. I used the sketch as a guideline to make my card.

You are Awesome Tag

This week's designer at Tag You're It Challenge is Laura Bassen. I love Laura's work and have spent so much time browsing her blog...her creations are so beautiful.
When I saw the inspiration tag I knew exactly what I was going to do...now that rarely happens.
I had leftovers from previous projects and 'experiments', that I used for my tag.

Go the Distance



Here is the second card I made for the Card Concept Challenge. This time I think I managed a CAS card. There is one focal image (popped up on foam dots), no other layers and it's quite easy to reproduce.
I used the sketch from this week's CAS(E) this Sketch challenge.
I am also entering this card in the CASology challenge where the cue word is 'RUN'
The running shoe is free cut file from SVG Cuts and the sentiment is from PTI's All Star Team Additions.

Simple Circles

This is the first time I'm playing along with the Card Concept Challenge. Not sure what my style is...thought it was CAS, but after reading through the definitions of the styles I think this card is more Clean and Graphic.

 The front of the card base has been embossed with PTI's Linen impression plate, for some texture and the circle panel has been stuck on with foam dots for dimension.

Hello card

TCEC is a great challenge blog. I used Distress inks to create the watercolour on my card. I cut the sun using the Silhouette Cameo and the landscape and cloud were cut using dies and my Cuttlebug. SAM_0928
Also adding this card to AAA cards (watercolour techniques) and Addicted to CAS (code word - Sky)

The Cutting Edge Challenge #1

SAM_0922
 So excited about this new challenge. Love using my Cuttlebug and Silhouette. I used a cut file from Bird's Cards for the champagne bottle. The 'Congrats' was also  cut with my silhouette. The stars and the 40 were cut with dies from PTI. The inspiration for my card came from the star and the placement of the sentiment.

CTS #82 and MIM #170


SAM_0921
I used the sketch from CASe this Sketch and the technique from PTI's Make it Monday. The technique this week is "masking with die cuts".
