Color Throwdown #800

I was the lucky stamper to get chosen as the guest designer for this week's challenge. Here is the card I made using this week's colour challenge CTD #800.

 

Color Throwdown #799

Wow, the weeks do go by so quickly. It's already time for the next Color Throwdown Challenge. 

I enjoyed incorporating this week's colours on my card. I used very little of the pink and purple on my  card as I feel they can be overpowering. Here is my entry for CTD #799

 

Color Throwdown #798

 School holidays here in South Africa so I have some time to play again. Here is my card for this week's challenge at Color Throwdown #798

JUGS #720

I have been following an ATC challenge on Scrappinclearly. It is a 52 week challenge. Each week they post a new prompt. This week's theme is Fauna and Flora. I've really been enjoying making these little works of art.

I used a stencil and texture paste on the background of my ATC and it fits in perfectly with this week's challenge #720 at Just Us Girls.

Lovely colours to play with this week with Color Throwdown Challenge #786.

So glad to have made time to play along during the Easter break.

Wow, it's been a while since I used my blog. Even forgot how this works. Here is my contribution to the JUGS #718 challenge.

Lovely colours in the Colour Throwdown Challenge this week but as we don't really celebrate Halloween in South Africa used the colours to make a birthday card.

Fusion Card Challenge - Let us Remember

It  has been such a long time since I posted on my blog, but with the COVID 19 lockdown I have time to play along with some card challenges again.

Here is my card for the Fusion Card Challenge. I used the sketch and the photo for inspiration.

Make it Monday #263

It has been quite a while since I participated in one of PTI's Make it Monday challenges. This week's technique is "background building with frames"

Dies: Fabulous Frames and Notched Flowers

Stamps: Background Basics: Text style and Beyond Basic Borders

Think Pink in October

October is Breast Cancer Awareness month. So many ladies close to me have fought / are still fighting a battle with this awful disease.
I made this card with inspiration from the following challenges:
CQC #362
CASology Week 218 - Support
Time Out Challenges #67. The theme is Breast Cancer Awareness/Friendship

SAF 2016 - Share Your Masterpiece

I made this mini Christmas album so long ago but it still remains one of my favourite creations. Probably has to do with Christmas being my favourite time of the year.

Looking forward to a crafty weekend with lots of SAF inspiration.

Freshly Made Sketches #228

I used this lovely sketch from Freshly Made Sketches to make this card. Embossed the medallion image with white EP and then 'smooshed' with Distress Inks.

PTI Blog Hop - November 2015

This month's PTI blog hop is about all of the fun nontraditional color schemes, like the one in the inspiration photo above. Silver, Hawaiian Shores, Tropical Teal and Simply Chartreuse are what we see! All against pops of bright, crisp white! Use this inspiration pieces as a jumping point for your next project, which could be holiday or non-holiday. 

 My inspiration came from the framed mirror and deer head.

ColourQ #313

Such pretty colours to work with this week at ColourQ.
While thinking about this challenge, I was inspired by the pattern on a tissue box.

So I got to work on my card and this is what I came up with:

PTI Blog Hop - October 2015

The challenge for this month's blog hop is to create a project inspired by the photo.

I straight away thought of Christmas... so I made a Christmas card. I used quite a few stamps from different sets to make this card. I used the smallest bloom from 'Christmas Poinsettia', one flourish from 'Fancy Flourishes', another flourish from 'Holiday Photo Finishers' and the sentiment from 'Think Big Favorites #20'. I just love traditional Christmas colours!

I also made this gift card holder which I CASEd from Claire Daly.
