Now dont forget we are celebrating our birthday on the Creative Card Crew Challenge this week, and we would love you to join in with the celebrations.
I will have some fabulous candy up for grabs, however to enter you must join in with our challenge this week, and leave a link on this post to your card. Your card/project must be a new one and not one you have previously posted. I will be picking a winner on the 16th March.
I look forward to seeing your creations!
This morning i have been concentrating on my friends 40th Birthday card. I have been thinking about it for weeks, but as per usual left it to the last minute to actually make. The mojo has gone walkabouts, and apart from knowing i wanted to do an easel card, i hadn't a clue what i was going to do!
I had the lovely Rose Garden paper pad from Papermania unopened, and decided to use this as my inspiration. As our CCC challenge theme this week is celebration i looked for an image to tie in with this. I love this whiff of joy mouse and cupcake, one of my favourite all time stamps. I have coloured with my pro-markers and highlighted with glossy accents and stickles.
The Quixotic Challenge this week is called "Leave it Out" and the challenge is to use leaves on your card/project. So i am entering this card into this challenge. Ive used the Marth Stewart fern leave punch.
Forgive me for such a terrible photo but the light in here is not good today.
I have personalized the card with chipboard letters from my Brenda Pinnock set that ive had for ages, im so pleased to actually be using up some of the components!
Also using the martha stewart punch that i received in my QVC pick of the day last month, and decorating with liquid pearls.
Flowers are punched from my Nellie Sneddon flower punches and accented with prima pearls and stickles.
To complete i have made a matching box to house the card, a little more impressive than my usual envelopes.
