Dutch Dare Scalloped Edge

The challenge this week was to use a scalloped edge somewhere on your card. I have used one of my new Martha Stewart border punches to create the scallop at the bottom of the card. The image is one of the stamps that was in the Magnolia Winter stamp club set. I had not even inked her up until last night and did not realise how cute she was until then. DP are basic grey dasher (I don't have many of these left now - just as well I have nearly finished my Christmas Cards). Ribbon, flower and gems from my stash.



All our snow has gone now and it is a really horrible rainy day here today.

I am now starting to panic a bit about getting all my Christmas bits and bobs done before I head off on holiday next Saturday. We are heading down to Aberdeen on Sunday to drop of some presents which means that I need to get the shopping finished tomorrow and get everything wrapped. It is just as well that I had decided not to put any decorations up here this year as I have no idea when I would have found the time. However, I am looking forward to decorating over in Spain when we arrive there on the 20th.

Dutch Dare - Use 3 flowers

Here is the card that I have made for Dutch Dare Card Challenge this week. The challenge was to use 3 flowers on your card. I have used this cute little stamp that I got from Pollycraft designs - thanks to Linda for telling me about Pollycraft, they are some really cute designs. The papers are Basic Grey Urban Prairie and the sentiment is one from a 99p clear stamp set, flowers by Prima and jewels and ribbon from my stash.

Well I woke up to a little snow on the car this morning - not a lot, but looks like we may get more today. I have a wedding to go to at 4pm so I hope that it will at least be dry for the bride arriving.



Thanks for looking.

SugarNellie does Friday Sketchers and Dutch Dare Card Challenge

Beatrix has a great sketch on Friday Sketchers this week and the challenge on Dutch Dare Card this week is to make a Christmas card. I have taken this opportunity to use another one of the Home Grown collection of stamps from Sugar Nellie. (These stamps are all available here) The papers are from the DCWV Christmas Wishes multi stack and I have coloured in this wonderful snowman with copic markers.



Have a great weekend.

One card, two challenges

This is my card for A Spoonful of Sugar challenge this week which is to make a card with a pink and green colour scheme. It was only when I had finished it that I saw that the challenge on Dutch Dare Card challenges this week was to make a card with a wild animal on it - well this bear is the nearest thing that I have to a wild animal in my collection of stamps to I hope that it qualifies - certainly does not look like an fierce wild animal!!

I have used papers from K&Company, Prima Flowers and the little bear and the sentiments are both from CC designs.

Dutch Dare Card Challenges #8

This weeks challenge is a sketch by Korin from Sweet'n Sassy Stamps. Sketches are my favourite kind of challenge and this was a great one. I haven't made a card that is not square for such a long time and it made a nice change. The papers and flowers were a download from Fred She Said Store. Image is Magnolia and the sentiment was done using one of the new Cuttlebug border folders.

Thanks for looking.
