The Card Chain Challenge (CCC) that Deborah used to run has moved over to Lily Pad Cards and has a couple of changes.  Now you must make your card, post the link and then you are entered.  

This month I followed the "theme" - friendship and decided to stay away from the sketch or colour palette.  Normally I would try and incorporate more than one aspect in my card but in order to meet the May 6th deadline - this is my card.  Lot going on this week!

I am also entering it into this month's challenge over on Hero Arts - Fabulous Flowers and ATC's.

Hope you are having a great Tuesday - won't be around much this week but will get caught up next week - I promise.  Thanks so much for stopping by.

You make my heart happy!

Another entry for this month's Hero Arts Love and Friendship Challenge.  I had fun creating this.  I actually envisaged it in my waking moments very early a few mornings ago and kept a snapshot in my brain until I managed to create it with stamps and paper.

I stamped the HA Heart Flourish (K5153) onto kraft and then cut the craft and machine stitched it to the black cardstock which I had punched with a scallop border punch.  I machine stitched them together with black thread.  I then stamped the heart part of the image repeatedly in red on white cardstock, cut out and popped on top with foam dots.  I added glossy accents to the bottom hearts and stickles to the red hearts when they were in situ.

Added the pearls at the end to finish it off!  Matted and layered and finished.  One of my little guys has been home sick since the weekend - on the mend but it is restricting my time leaving comments on all my blogland friends blogs..... I will be back!!!

Thanks so much for stopping by and I hope you have a good day. 

Many thanks Card

This is one of my card's for this month's challenge over on Hero Arts.  The Challenge this month is "Everything Autumn!".  I played around with the new digital kit by Hero Arts called Basic Tree - available here. 

I used Papertrey Ink Dark Chocolate cardstock for the base, matted on a cardstock from my LSS in an orangey/red colour which I ran through my new embossing folder - Woodgrain by Tim Holtz.  Sticker is a sentiment sticker from SRM Stickers.  The buttons are dark chocolate and from Papertrey Ink too.  I coloured the image with copics and added glossy accents to the red leaves only for added texture. 

I am also entering it into the Wee Memories Challenge - "Fall into Autumn" - be sure to check out their DT creations - wow, just amazing.

Pollycraft Monday Challenge is also "Autumn Colours".  Paula and the DT have amazing autumnal goodness on show too.

Thanks so much for peeking.
