Use Metal

Good evening to you all . Hope you all are well ? Im still feeling a bit under the weather due to having a head cold . 

Today is the start of a new challenge over at LEJ Designs the theme being "Use Metal " .  The first randomly drawn name will win 4 digis of their choice from lejdesigns 

 And the  sponsor for this challenge is crafty-emblies who are offering a £10 box of goodies to the second randomly drawn name . 

I have used the image called Cecil and Celia which can be found  here at Lejdesign digi stamp shop . I have coloured the images with my pro-markers and have used Metal corners as embellishments along with a couple of paper flowers . 

                        (( I apologise for the poor picture))

Thank you so much for stopping by and hope you all have a good evening and good luck if you are entering the challenge .

                               Its Cats and Dogs 

Good afternoon ....Its me again with another post !! 
Today im sharing with you some sweet little cards i made this morning using some beautiful and cute card toppers from Kanban .


They are just adorable . My first card is a small 4x4 card  using one of the cute cat toppers. (I have however cut the silver frame away as i wanted a plain picture ) Using my trusty dies i created my own frame and glued with gel glue to give it some dimension . I would like to enter this card into  Emmas Cards Challenge .











My second card is made using one of the sweet dog toppers . As she is wearing a hat i thought a hat embellishment would set it off a treat . this card is a 5 x 5 .

My third card is just to adorable.....A sweet little puppy who couldn't resist . This is a 7 x 5 card . I have embellished this card with a Kanban butterfly  ( adding gems to the body for sparkle ) and a couple of flourish corners and card candy .

Thank you all for popping by and i hope you have a great afternoon . I am now going to try and sort out all the mess i have made in my craft room .....Wish me luck lol

Luv & Hugs

 New Beginnings

Good afternoon to you all . I do hope that you are all okay today and feeling well . I have enjoyed my morning making this card . Once i have written this blog i had better get some house work done !!!

My card is a 8x8 and i have used several different papers from stampin up to create the back grounds . Each paper has been matted onto Pink mirri card from Creata along with the flourishes  and small flowers.

The images i have used are all from Paper craft junkies .  I have used pro markers to colour the digi images and also decoupaged them to give them depth .

I finished my card with some lovely pastel pink glitter ribbon , some silk flowers from creata  , some ice white pearls and a sentiment i printed .

I would like to enter this card into the following challenges

Button up

Well i hope you have all had a wonderful Christmas and a happy new year so far . Today i am sharing my first card for 2013 . It just so happens to be my  DT  

" button up " card for  DCC & Friends

There is a great prize up for grabs this month which is a bundle consisting of decoupage sheets , 2 sets of clear stamps and a set of die cuts. The challenge will run from Midday Jan 4th till Midday Jan 31st . So for your chance to enter this fab challenge please visit DCC & Friends challenge blog.

As Valentines will soon be upon us i took the theme of love to make my card . I used a musical backing paper in gentle  tones and pastel pink , white and lavender  for my colour palate .
Using sizzix heart dies i created 2 contrasting hearts and embellished with buttons. I stamped the greeting onto a white heart and then edged with pale pink inks. Finale touches are a satin ribbon and a bow embellished with a button and 3 additional buttons along the side which i threaded with light pink bakers twine.


Thank you all for popping by and i hope to see some of your work over at   http://www.dccfriendschallenges.net/ .
Have a great weekend 
Love Caroline xx
