Fancy borders

Hello fellow crafters, I’m here to share with you the fruits of today’s work! I’m glad to say that the two cards that I made turned out pretty nice - especially that the challenges I created them for are high in my ranks, and I’m always trying to do my best for them :)
Here’s my first creation, that was designed for Mercy’s Tuesday Sketch Challenge #44 , and Flourishes Timeless Tuesday Challenge #39:

Photobucket

Apparently I’m not the only one combining these two together, since Mercy’s sketch includes a punched border, which happens to be the Flourishes’ recipe.

Next card is for Mojo Monday Week 110:

Photobucket

I’d usually have a lot of work with layering for the Mojo Monday’s sketches, since they’re just asking for that :) The final effect can be really rewarding though, as any fan of layering knows well… Well, my layering tends to be far from perfection, since it’s hard to cut some shapes neatly without dies, yet the card above is one of my better jobs 😉

Thank you so much for looking!

Highlighted bloom

This is going to be my last card for tonight, it’s made for the sketch CPS 137 at Card Positioning Systems:

Photobucket

The layout and the colours were adjusted to meet the rules of the recipe over at The Pink Elephant, which are the colour black, hardware and distressing.
Black & white is perhaps not the first choice of colours to compliment powder pink and browns, but they look great together, don’t they?
There is also one more challenge that this one goes to, and it’s Pin-Up at 365 Cards. The requirement is to include either a stick pin, safety pin with beads, or/and a charm on the project.

Thanks a bunch for stopping by!

Get well wishes

Good afternoon fellow crafters! I’m back with a simple card, a submission for the 2 Red Bananas recipe, which is a square, the colour red, and 3 buttons; and “Get Well Soon” challenge at Simon Says Stamp:

Photobucket

I chose the DP with a subtle pattern for the background, and stamped it randomly with doodle flowers, using white chalk ink. After allowing it to dry, I traced the lines with white marker, and then sponged the edges of the paper with red ink. I cut a long piece of red cardstock, embossed vertical lines, and sponged the piece with green ink to bring forth the pattern. I used watercolour pencils for the image, but haven’t blended them, so the colours would stay crisp.
Hope you like it, thank you so much for stopping by!

Seize the cupcake!

Here’s my submission for the sweet Sunday sketch challenge #41 at The Sweetest Thing:

Photobucket

There’s also a nice challenge over at Cute Card Thursday called Candy Corns, which is about making a candy-themed project, that I’m submitting this one to. Lastly, I think this card corresponds better to Crazy 4 Challenge week 8 It’s All Geometric!, than my first entry for this challenge, so there it goes too :)
Hope you’ll like it, thanks for looking!

Catching up on the challenges

There’s a line up of five challenges prepared for the following card that I’ve just finished:

Photobucket

I hate how I dread to miss any of them, one day it’s going to drive me crazy if I won’t have time enough for whatever reason…lol. On the brighter side, it’s fun to see how many different requirements can be met on a project.
So this one goes to:
- Friday Sketchers, for I used their sketch 75;
- Crazy 4 Challenges with their challenge called It’s All Geometric, that’s about including 3 different geometrical shapes;
- Color Throwdown‘s current colour combo of purely pomegranate, certainly celery & taken with teal (I know there are be dabs of several other colours on the DPs, but the given trio forms the leading scheme);
- Delightful Daisies at Charisma Cardz, which gives me the opportunity to play with my daisy-shaped fabric flowers;
- and finally, Favourite Things at Daring Cardmakers, that says: “use at least 5 of your own personal favourite things”. What are mine? Firstly - papers (YUM!), then bold colours, ribbon (yesss!), flower, gemstones and chipboard. To close my fav list, there should also be brads and a stamped image, but there was no place for them on this card. It’s rich enough already 😉

Thank you for stopping by today, happy crafting!
