Embossing and ribbon

Freshly made sketches have this sketch for the week

 

My take

 

I adhered the ribbon to the card stock prior to pricking the pattern. It as quite a tricky business sticking over the ribbon as the holes where rather hard to see. I hand embossed the leaves.

CASe this sketch have a new sketch

 

 

Here is my take on it

 

 

A while ago when I was a guest designer ( here and here ) I had to make a couple of Autumn inspired cards, this was one of them but as I made far too many before I made up my mind on which to send for inspiration, I didn't use it in the end. So I'll enter it into this challenge instead.

 

 

Supplies:

Card stock: 160gsm in white

Paper: Gold 80gsm

           Green spotted paper

Button from my stash

Thread: All colour codes and brands unknown

Pattern: Goosloo Art. Borduurpatronen

Love that Guy

Split coast stampers Free 4 all 311 have "Love that guy" as their cue for this week. The challenge is to make a Valentines Card for the man in your life. We don't really do Valentines (I'd much rather be spoilt because DH thought of it himself than for him to be prompted to spoil me!) but if I was to make him one it would probably be something along these lines.

 

I took the hearts from a Stitching Cards pattern and changed them up a bit.

 

  

Supplies:

pattern: Stitching cards border valentine hearts

Thread: Black:DMC Noir

             Red: Brand and code unknown

Card stock: 160gsm in red and white



 

In Sympathy

Another colour challenge at TGIF challenges

 

 

This card was made as a Sympathy card.

 

I rather stupidly didn't check that the stitched flowers would fit into my oval die and true to form once I had stitched them they didn't. I had to "make them fit" and ended up cutting the oval by hand.

 

I will also be entering this over at Addicted to CAS where the cue is

Isn't it amazing how some weeks the challenges are all rather similar and you are able to make one card work for more than one challenge and then other weeks nothing seems to link up? Well this week is one of the latter. Not much is gelling for me.

But not to worry I'll give it my best shot starting over at CASology where this is their cue

 

 

I made this card

  

 

I recently went to a closing down sale and managed to pick up some lovely things for next to nothing. This was one of them. It was a fraction too big for the card stock size that I use so I chopped off a bit of the nose of the car.

A quick, easy card but lots of fun to make. 

 

 

Supplies:

Card Stock: 160gsm in white

Glitter: Kindy Glitz in Crystalina

Liquid pearls in platinum and gold

Addicted to CAS have one word as their cue this time and it's....... 

 

 

It fitted perfectly with the birthday card which I made for one of my nephews. He loves cricket and plays the position of wicket keeper so I decided to make him a cricket ball,

 

 

 

I used a pre cut card base and covered it with red paper. The sentiments were computer generated and I did some faux stitching in black around them. I used the same fine liner to rule a "join" down the centre of the ball.  To depict the stitching on the ball I used a white gel pen.

 

 

Supplies:

Pre cut ball shaped base card

Pentel white gel pen

Pentel black fine liner

Red paper 80gsm
