The Paper players

I've made another card this morning using the last of my stars kit, for Paper players 

Here's their sketch with lots of layers.


and here's my interpretation of it.

 It is a congratulations card.

I'm pleased I could use the zigzag washi tape on this plus a cream label that I had in my stash.


Mojo Monday

 Here is the latest sketch at Mojo Monday


I decided to do another Christmas card.

Every year I send a card to my friend Chris and her husband , Noel. It has become a joke for me to send a noel card. I chose red white and blue for this card and finished it off with a silver star and some blue pearl bling. I think it looks festive.

As you like it challenge

 I used the purplish paper from the mat on the previous layout to make 2 cards.

Along with the paper I added items from my beach kit, including the sunglasses, a scalloped edging and a pink bling flower. The tag came recently with a prize I won on CSI.

I'm entering these both on AS you like it challenge where they ask bright or pastels? 

I personally like bright colours on cards, it looks more cheerful . (The one exception would be sympathy cards.)

Lasting Memories -Flowers

 At Lasting Memories this week they want flowers.

This gave me the opportunity to use the botanical kit from CKC which so far I have largely ignored.

I had a paper featuring big white lilies, so I fussy cut around the tops of  those to pop my photo under.I double matted and found a purple paper in my stash to match. Then I glued 2 larger flowers in white plus the very last of my green Prima flowers I bought 16 years ago. (hooray!)

The left hand side looked bare so I used a strip of Graphic 45 Fairy paper to compliment the green and minor colours such as mauve in my photo.

AAA cards

 


 I'm joining in on this challenge at AAA cards and have used blue cardstock plus an owl from my botanical kit.

I found a strip of coloured paper which blends with the colours and measured it to 1/3 of the total card.

My owl sits on one end with the sentiment.


The dirty marks are on my scanner not the card.Soon to rectify that !

ABC Christmas challenges

 ABC Christmas challenges want S for Snow or T for tinsel.

I've made a card using 2 different snow papers plus 2 strips of washi tape.

The lower strip of washi says Christmas and seems to spark in the scanner for some reason. It doesn't have that line in real life.
