The male room

 I had a cover from a Kraft 12 x12 paper pad. It featured stripes of all the papers within. I decided to cut the cover up and make 2 cards. Nothing gets wasted here!

My first is for The male room, where they want hobbies. 

I had a webber BBQ sticker left from a Simple stories sheet so used it on this card. Lots of men like cooking BBQs.




The second card has a black daisy glued to it. It would work for anniversary or engagement maybe.



As you like it challenge

I've covered a biscuit tin I found in a clearance sale for As you like it this month. 

I started with the tin. I used Ruby Rocket Reminisce paper and matching cardstock stickers. 

Vintage lace was used around the edges and on the top of the lid. The crochet flower came in a prize pack so I made it my centre feature. I put Bella bling flourishes on the opposite corners.

Finally, I cut some leaves from green polka dot paper and added those.



I will add something inside the tin and give it to a friend for a gift.

613 Avenue create

 My next card is for 613 Avenue create. I made a tag using mixed media and want to use it . I had some music paper so put that as my background, then added the tag on top. Forst I used a light blue watercolour wash on my tag. Next, I misted in red through a stencil to get the herringbones. Finally I added the bird sticker.


My sentiment said every love story is beautiful. This can apply to several different scenarios.


I'm also entering this on Creative Artiste mixed media challenge.

Tic tac toe and AAA cards.

 This morning I thought I'd make some cards using my Counterfeit kit papers. 

They are for various card challenges.


Tic tac toe wants us to use a line from here.. I've gone across the top line.

This is also for AAA cards where we are asked to copy the design of a card.

Paper funday card

 At The paper Funday challenge they ask for summer themed cards.

I had the word smile from Cocoa Vanilla stickers and another Cocoa vanilla cut aparts sheet with bright summer inspiration.

I made this card for a friend who has just had an operation. It is bright and will cheer her up.



I've also made a pink card for my great niece's 21st

Freaky Fast formula

 


In my counterfeit kit I put some offcuts. I was able to use 3 of them on this layout. I chose one of the bright gaudy papers and a simple photo


Just a few simple embellishments.
