Tiffany Doodles New Challenge - Flower Power - TD03

Can you believe that another month has "whizzed by"?  I missed the 7th August deadline to post my Tiffany Doodles DT card for this month's challenge - but as the saying goes - "better late than never!".

This month's challenge is "Flower Power".  You can create a card using any stamp you wish, Tiffany has some wonderful flower digis - she even has freebies here too!.  Be sure to check them out.

I have made lots with the wonderful Velvet Flower freebie like this, and these and this.

I used the Lenten Rose w/Blossom digi for this card and used the cut outs from the kraft to create a matching tag.

Supplies: Tiffany Doodles Lenten Rose w/blossom, pp from Cosmo Cricket, 

kraft cardstock, Sentiment - SRM Sticker, Spellbinders Blossom Die Cuts, copics, 

ribbon by MemrieMare on Etsy and handmade fimo buttons which I made myself!

My inspiration photo!!!!!  I took this in the garden in February 2009 - I know I have one with the seed pods too but can't locate it at present.

Hope you will play along with this month's challenge.  Have Fun!  See you over on Tiffany Doodles.

Paperplay - Recipe!

This week's challenge on Paperplay is set by Jan and it is a recipe - use two dp's, 3 flowers, 1 ribbon and a charm.  This week's challenge is very kindly sponsored by Stitchy Bear Stamps and they gave us some very cute images to play with.  Thanks so much.

I used this cute bunny - "bunny blu" which is available here.  I coloured him to match my Cosmo Cricket papers and used some Papermania sheer ribbon, three DCWV flowers in shades of orange and word art from Create with TLC.  Okay... so here it is... I don't actually own any charms to go on my card... so I put a brad on one of the flowers instead... so technically it's not right... so I haven't followed the recipe correctly.... so .... slap on hand... I beg your forgiveness!!!! 

Hope you get a chance to play along this week - hope to see you over on Paperplay!.

Happy 40th! Birthday

My SIL asked me to make some cards for her - so this is one I made for a friend's 40th.  Her friend is an Accountant and I think the paper is just perfect, it looks like an old maths test!.  It is from Cosmo Cricket (the boyfriend range).  I made a puffy vintage flower and used a Papertrey Ink button in Ocean Tides, tied with some embroidery floss.  Added some pale cream pearls and adhesive numbers that I picked up whilst living in the States.

Thanks so much for stopping by.  Hope you have a great day.

Summer Card - Just add Water!

Supplies:  Still Summer digi Image by Mo, Sentiment from Create with TLC, 

textured cardstock from Papermania, MS punch and copics

Made this card using a wonderful image called "Still Summer" from Maurie J Manning aka Mo.  She is just super talented and produces AMAZING images.  She has a wonderful Paper Craft Planet Group and Facebook Group - so be sure to check them out.  I coloured with copics, added wordart from Create with TLC, matted and layered and hey presto... a Summer Card!

Hope the weather is lovely where ever you are and you are enjoying the Summer season.  Thanks so much for stopping by and taking a peek - it is a three day weekend here in Ireland today - yipee!.  I really appreciate the visit and any comments you leave.  Thanks so much.
