Gingerbread Star


I've had this stamp for years, and never used it, but it's perfect for these challenges, so it just goes to show - never get rid of any of your stamps :)

The cue word for the challenge at CASology is STAR:


The colour challenge at colourQ is:


And this month's theme at The Ribbon Carousel is:


The Holidays

Not easy to tell in this photo, but the red on the gingerbread is a different shade to the red heart.  Image stamp is from Anita's and the sentiment is from Penny Black.  The icing is coloured with a white gel pen.

Framed Flowers


I've found a new challenge, thanks to Darnell!  The Ribbon Carousel has a blog, a monthly challenge, and a fabulous prize.  I want one.



This month, the challenge is Giving Thanks/Fall.  My favourite autumn flowers are coneflowers/rudbeckias, whatever you want to call them, and I'm sure they come in Cajun Craze as well as yellow and pink!

The challenge at ColourQ this week is

which fits in nicely with the colour of my coneflowers!

The challenge at Less is More is to use HARWARE on your creation - brads, eyelets, clips, staples, pins, studs, or in my case, a metal ribbon slider.

The image is from Magenta, stamped in Versamark Onyx Black onto watercolour paper and coloured with water soluble pencils, cut out and mounted onto another piece of watercolour paper, then mounted onto turquoise card.  The ribbon is the hanging straps from a top - waste not, want not!
