Counterfeit Kit Challenge #3

 I'm actually in hospital as you read this. I'm having a knee replacement.

Challenge #3 is a double sketch page.


To create my circles I used red paint and a fine paint brush. I couldn't layer them over the photos but otherwise it is the same.

My photos are from a wedding that my daughter attended recently. 

Here is side one


and here is side two


and the stitched double finally looks like this.


I used several flowers I had in my kit plus tiny wooden and sticker hearts.Two papers were fussy cut to get the larger pink flowers. 

I'm very pleased with how this turned out.

Little Red wagon

 At Little red wagon they want Easter cards.


Because it is autumn here in Australia, I decided to use fawn and orange tones. I had the bunny and sentiment (You are my sunshine) already.

It will go well for an Easter card for the family.

Shopping our stash inking

 Today I used a gum leaf from the garden to ink out an autumn card.


I used a gold background Then inked around the leaf several times using old paper distress ink and pinecone ink.

I added a cluster of items next to my sentiment -hatpin, button, leaf and some hessian. 

This is for Shopping our stash.

Lasting memories circles wreath

 At Lasting memories they want a circle using punches or die cuts. I used die cuts but the letter Q in various sorts,


When we went to Disneyland we had to queue everywhere. I used 2 photos of the queues then surrounded them with various Q letter.. It is something different and a good way to use up random letters.

  

Atlantic Hearts Challenge

 Here is the sketch for Atlantic Hearts challenge


I've used an offcut paper from my Counterfeit kit.

The wood veneer cherries or peaches replace the leaves on the sketch.

Cupcake Inspiration

 


The above challenge at Cupcake inspiration inspired me to make this card. I started by embossing the white paper then inking it with cyan blue (lightly)

Next, I added the flower, leaves and circular sentiment. "Sweet life" could cover many occasions.


I've also made a card for Neglected stuff challenge.

These presents die cuts have been hanging around my craft room for ages along with the word Christmas. I've had them for a few years and been meaning to use them.

Today was the day. My background paper features some houses, so I cut it so the houses were in one corner then added my gifts and sentiment. I used a thin washi tape in silver to finish off the card.
