It's All Black and White ....

These are two of the five cards I made at a Little Claire workshop last weekend. The workshop was called 'It's All Black and White' and we used a variety of stamps and punches as well as some patterned papers. The owls are coloured with grey Promarkers.

Sir Stampalot April Challenge

Finally for today, here is my card for the first Sir Stampalot Challenge - the theme is fantasy. The stamp I've used is a Sweet Pea image which I discovered from Dot's blog a few weeks back. I've cut the image out and mounted it onto white pearl paper. I decided it didn't need much added to it so I've just used some blue and lilac backing paper which has butterflies and script on it and a few silver peel off dots.

Cute Card Thursday Sketch Challenge 109

And here is my card for this week's Cute Card Thursday challenge. The card is made following a sketch and I've used another Greeting Farm image, some patterned paper and some Cuttlebugged card. The circular greeting is from Craftwork Cards.

Nutshells Challenge #14

This is my spring themed card for this week's Nutshells Challenge using one of my favourite images from The Greetings Farm. I've also added some patterned paper that came free with a magazine, blue card which I've punched with my Martha Stewart flower punch and some white flowers with gems in the middle.

I was lucky enough to win last week's Nutshells Challenge - the prize is another cute Greetings Farm stamp to add to my collection!

CC Designs ATCs

These are three ATCs I've made for a swap this month using CC Designs stamped images - I love the big eyes on all their designs! I just added a thin strip of striped paper and a paper flower to each one as I don't think they need much more than the image.

Anyone for Anya Challenge - Sweet as Sugar

This card is for the Anyone for Anya Challenge - the theme this week is 'sweet as sugar'. I've made a girlie birthday card using Doodlebug paper, pink card, paper flowers coloured with Promarkers and a little circular greeting.

Zig Zag Acetate Card

I've made this card today for a swap on one of the Yahoo groups I belong too - it's the first time I've tried making one of these so I don't know whether it's right or not! There is acetate over the top of the zig zag card - it doesn't show up that clearly on the photo but hopefully you will get the idea. The pink and black card is from Kanban, the sentiment from Hero Arts and the main image from The Greetings Farm.

Moving Along With the Times Challenge #41

And the last one for today - an easel card for Challenge 41 on Moving Along with the Times - the tree and owls are from the latest club set from Little Claire and the background card etc came with the kit sent out with the stamp set. I've altered it a bit to make it into an easel card and added some flowers too.

Quixotic Challenge and I Love Promarkers

This image is from Little Claire and I've used Magnolia daffodil paper in the background with some green card, green and white spotted ribbon and some paper flowers.

This one is for two challenges - Quixotic Challenge #20, the Joys of Spring and I Love Promarkers #9 Animals.

Cute Card Thursday - Challenge 107 - Mono Mania

And this one is for the Cute Card Thursday Challenge Blog - mono mania. The image is from Cuddly Buddly and I've layered it up with some pink card and paper and added some paper flowers coloured with Promarkers and some ribbon.

Nutshells Challenge #13

This is a card I've made today for the Nutshells Challenge Blog - a shaped card made using one of the images sold by Nutcrafters. I spotted the shop online a few weeks ago and ordered a couple of images - this one is called "Hazel with Handbag". I've made an easel card with a die cut circle for the main feature and then added some Kanban card and white flowers with little gems in the middle.

Anyone for Anya - Anything You Want Challenge

This week's challenge on Anyone for Anya? is an open theme. I've used one of my favourite Anya images, combined with Doodlebug background paper and pale pink card to make an easel card. It's finished with some pink ribbon and layered paper flowers, coloured with Promarkers to match the image.

Cute Card Thursday - So Egg-citing

Here's my card for the So Egg-citing challenge on Cute Card Thursday this week. The image is from Elzybells and the pink floral paper from a Forever Friends decoupage pack. I've added some white ribbon and a stamped greeting in the bottom right hand corner.
