Acetate with a Hint of Pink

Crikey, that was a close shave. Well not really a close shave as the deadline has passed and I didn't get my DT card for Dottie's World made in time. It has been a crazy weekend so far and I honestly haven't had any time, so I just TOOK half an hour to quickly make my DT card for Dottie's World, and half an hour is literally how long it has taken me, including taking pictures etc. Must be one of the quickest cards I have ever made so I apologise for any mistakes! Check out Dottie's World for some fabulous cards from the design team.

I love this cat image from the Cat Collection and grabbed the chance to use it today. Here is the challenge from Nicola:

A is for Acetate with a hint of pink!!It can be a whole acetate card,an aperture of acetate,an embellishment as long as Acetate is there some where & as October is Breast Cancer awareness month I'd like to see some pink!!!

My card is acetate folded in half and rimmed with Cotton Pink Stickles (not quite dry so excuse any stray bits). The cat was printed on a sheet of Prima Whisper "Sigh" paper and Cotton Pink Stickles has been applied to the circles. This is double-sided so it looks good from the other side too. I cut the ball out and matted it on a K&Co Wild Saffron Tag. It has a pink acetate flower in the centre with a Basic Grey brad in the middle.

The corner has been cut out from the same sheet of Prima paper and dotted with pearls.

Pop over and join in the challenge :o)

Love is.....

Love is a lot of things so the scope was open wide in the Sunday Challenge on Dottie's World. The fabulous Juliet set the challenge this week:

'Love is....' a card to tell someone you love them. This could be Anniversary, Christmas, Birthday, Valentines or just to say I Love You to someone special. The only other rules are to use at least one image from the collection AND I would like to see a journalling spot/message on the front of your card."

My card is a single sheet of folded Basic Grey Cupcake "Frosting; as it uses the full sheet is makes for a sturdy card. Acetate window. Imaginisce Baby Powder Fuzzy Jammies paper for the scalloped pieces, which I embossed with a Cuttlebug embossing folder. Imaginisce Baby Powder ribbon. Blue crystals from our fantastic value craft accessory boxes. Tim Holtz ink for edges. K&Co Self-Adhesive Baby chipboard - and last but not least a Dottie and George download from the Love & Marriage collection.

Going Green

I set the challenge on Dottie's World for today and this was it:

Everything today is focused on environmental issues, so lets GO GREEN! Show me how green you can get! But this is a green dish with a few extra ingredients, sprinkle it with three buttons or brads, season with a little ribbon, and finally add that special little "recycled something. Plus of course it must contain at least one Charmed Cards & Crafts download".

So with these requirements in mind I made two cards:

Card 1 is on acetate:

A peek inside:

Requirements:

• DOWNLOAD is Ghost George from the Halloween Collection
• THREE glittery large GREEN BRADS from Imaginisce Hallowhimsy Collection
• GREEN Ribbon is K&Co Margo Felt Ribbon
• The "RECYCLED SOMETHING" is pink Scrabble letters from my daughters' old Scrabble set.
• GREEN double-sided papers from K&Co's Halloween Mat Pad
  

The Rub-ons are also K&Co Halloween, and the Haunted House Journalling piece inside (also green) is from the Imaginisce Hallowhimsy Toe Tags Sheet.

This second card has a green country feel to it, which ties in nicely with the "go green" theme.

Requirements:

• Puddle Love download from the Love & Marriage Collection
• K&Co Brookfield Floral Stripe Embossed GREEN paper AND Basic Grey Mellow Paper Sapid (plain GREEN paper)
• Maya Road GREEN Velvet Rick Rack RIBBON
• TWO GREEN Prima Cavalier BRADS and ONE heart BUTTON
• The "RECYCLED SOMETHING" is a flower I removed from one of the girl's old summer hats.
  

The hearts are from the Cosmo Cricket Hello Sunshine Heart Button Cover sheet.

Please do have a go at this challenge, I really love seeing what you come up with.
