August Christmas!

This post is coming a little late - my apologies! Here's the lowdown...

The Aud Sentiments Team have set this past week the task of  challenging  you all to make a card or project that isn't a birthday card... yep you heard me! No birthday cards allowed!

Here's your task for the next & last week of this frtonight's challenge:

Anything but a Birthday Card, so it can be any card or project you like - just not a Birthday Card!

(Please don't forget the sentiment!)

Team A had a fantastic array of cards and projects, make sure you check out Team B's efforts too - fantastic as always!

Our sponsor for this challenge is: Stamp Art Design

Here's my creation:

Supplies used:

- 25mm Roses from Wild Orchid Crafts

- Pink Cherry Blossoms from Wild Orchid Crafts

- 8 x 8 First Paper Edition Rose Garden Paper Pad

- 6 x 6 Botanical Prima Paper Pad

- 6 x 6 Pink Paislee London Market Paper Pad

- Sizzix Hearts Sizzlits

- Tim Holtz Adage Tickets

- Greeting Farm Hello-Go-Round Stamp Set

- Dovecraft Tea Doilies

- EK Success Carnation Dimensional Flower Punch

- Lace

- From Stamp Art Design, I used the Gracie image (a bonus sentiment is included with this image)

This card contains quite a few layers and I thought I would try something different this time round as I don't normally put a lot of flower embellishments on my card, as I feel it may be a bit crowded. But I really like how this turned out. I didn't colour the image in this time around as I literally wanted the image bare and I thought my skills in colouring would probably mess up the image beyond repair! (I just sometimes have moments when I'm really too heavy handed with my Promarkers!) And I still think it turned out quite sweet and simple and that's exactly how I wanted it to be.

Hope you guys like my creation and as always please have a look at the blog to see the fabulous Team A creations and come back next week for the inspirational post mid-challenge from Team B. Submit your creations in to our challenge this week and you could win some awesome prizes!

Blue Roses at Pinspirational Challenges!

Another lovely weekly challenge at Pinspirational Challenges is here! So here is this week's image...

 

Love the cupcakes - they're awesome and so sweet! Yummy! :)

Our challenge this week is sponsored by: 

Beccy's Place and Stamp Art Design (Yep! We're doubling up on sponsors!)

Here's my creation:

So, I didn't follow a blue theme, but I followed the 'rose' theme - lots of reds, pinks and even roses for embellishments! I made this tag using linen caramel cardstock, punched with a doily lace punch at the bottom. The paper used was from the Papermania Capsule collection, and the 'top note' die is from a stash I had. The sparkly jewels are from Papermani also, and the roses and ribbon embellishments are from my stash too. I bought the roses from ebay in a pack of 30 or so, and the ribbon is from a habadashery stall at a 'thrift' market. The string is parcel string for the top of the tag and the hanger paperclip is from set of 30 I bought from a stationers called Tiger in London. Which are very similar to the Tim Holtz ones. The iamge is from our Team 2 sponsor - Stanp Art Design.

I hope that this has inpisired you to join in our challenge at Pins this week! Check our our blog for Team 1 and Team 2's creations - they're awesome and they will totally inspire you to create and join with us!

The winner of this week's challenges gets a prize of three digi images from Beccy's Place and five digi images from Stamp Art Design / Whimsy Stamps
