On a roll

 


I am on a roll today. I made this quick card using the theme from The Paper Players. As soon as I read the theme I knew the paper and die wanted to use. 

I used paper from Trimcraft, Memory Box poppy die, Cuttlebug Dots embossing folder and a sentiment stamp from a mag and finished with Liquid Pearls. 


I am entering this card into the following challenges:-

The Paper Players - Basic Black, Smokey Slate, Daffodil Delight

Inspiration Station - yellow, dots and flowers are my inspiration

The Paper Funday challenge - Die cuts and punches

Just for fun

 




When I saw the sketch over at Freshly Made Sketches I just had a lovely idea for a card.

Funny how sometimes lots of inspiration comes along at once, then mojo disappears for ages. Today has been one of those days when ideas come flooding in and I have some spare time to play.

I made this card with off cuts of card and dies add a stamped sentiment and a few Liquid Pearls. The patterned paper is Bo Bunny

Welcome to our new AYLI challenge. This one is hosted by Annette.

This fortnight's challenge theme is to showcase a project using 
Your Favourite Style: Simple or Fussy (& why).
You MUST explain WHY it is your favourite.

I don't think I am either simple or fuss , a little middle of the road. This card is probably as fussy as it gets. I always feel if I add too many embellishments my cards become a bit of a clutter.



I have used LOTV papers, Promarkers, Cuttlebug Dots embossing folder, Spellbinders scallop circle, Globeland bird stamp and die set and a free sentiment from a magazine.
