H for Half a Dozen

The new theme on the Alphabet Challenge Blog is Half a Dozen - to use 6 of the same of something on our work.  It was my granddaughter's birthday and I needed a card for her, not my usual style of work, I cut a 4 and her name on my Slice and then used lots of stickers and 6 adhesive gems.  I have to say it was great fun using the stickers!

Ruby's Rainbow Challenges #6 - Flowers

It is time for a new fortnightly challenge on Ruby's Rainbow Challenges, and sadly due to lack of support Shaz has had to change the format of the blog from a colour + theme, to a theme only.  Hopefully more people will now be joining in.  For my DT work I used some photos I took of the gorgeous tulips in the garden earlier in the year and made a LO for my Garden Album.  The swirls are cut on my Slice, and the letters are from a huge bumper pack of die cut alphas from QVC many years ago!

Ghosties & Ghoulies & Long Legged Beasties!

is the theme for My Time To Craft this week!  I used a free digi download but I can't remember where it came from as it was from last year.  I coloured the image with Copics and used various 'Halloween colours' to make the card.   The flowers were cut on my Slice.

Under the Weather

The new challenge on My Time To Craft this week is Under the Weather.  For my DT card I used a Penny Black image which I coloured in with Copics and used some silver glitter card for the backing.   I cut a flourish with my Slice and added Primas and Stickles to embellish.

Unity FWF Blog Hop

For my card today for the Unity Friends with Flair blog hop, I have used a sentiment stamp from the fab Adventures in Happiness March 2010 kit, available from Make The Day Special.  The papers are by DCWV and I punched flowers and leaves to embellish.  I cut the mat for the sentiment with my Slice.

Quick Quotes

The new challenge on My Time To Craft this week is Quick Quotes.  For my DT card, I used some K & Co Hannah bp and stamped the Penny Black quote onto a mat cut on my Slice.  I used Antique Linen and Crushed Olive Distress Inks, and inked some sticky lace and finally added some Primas and pearls to finish.

I am also entering this card for the Creative Craft World challenge which is to use Primas on our work.

I will be using my BIA to make these into a book which is why I leave the edges clear of embellishments etc!

Snow

I am determined to make Christmas cards throughout the year to avoid the last minute rush again!
