Pink Gem Challenges - "Too Cute to Spook"

Good Morning Gemsters, I nearly forgot it was time for another fabulous Challenge over at Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot and this time its all about Halloween and the title is "Too Cute to Spook" and of course we are being sponsored by our very talented Janet Roberts of Pink Gem Designs

And we are such a lucky Design Team as we have access to some beautiful images to choose from and here is my choice

This young bat is called "Batty Flying" and you will find him here, I have then printed him onto white card and before colouring him I created the sentiment which was then printed around the top of the diecut.
I coloured him with my copics and then cut him out with my Presscut circle dies and used a larger one for the mount out of black card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of black card and the papers I have used are also from Pink Gem Designs and you will find them here. I have used three papers and a Martha Steward Batty border punch down the edges of the first one and a Spiderweb one for the second and then layered them up in the center of my base card and stuck my mounted image in the center.
To finish of I have used a Martha Stewart Pumkin punch and added them across the bottom of my card.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and dont forget the title of this Challenge is "Too Cute to Spook".

A Christmas Card for a Child - Sundays with Santa - Facebook Challenge

Good Morning Crafters, each week over on Facebooks Sundays with Santa we host a challenge for a Christmas Card and last weeks one was to create a Card for a Child. And as Im on the Pink Gem Designs Design Team I am lucky to be able to use any of Janets stunning images and designs to play with, and this one is from a new set of Toppers that she has just released for this Christmas coming

Pink Gem Designs

As you can see there are a lot to choose from, I printed the able image "Barclay Bear" onto photo paper, and then cut out the background and mounted it onto a piece of blue card. The Bear himself I cut out and then decoupaged him onto the main image on the background. I layered up the flowers in the three corners and the sentiment in the top right hand corner.

This Card is to be entered in the following Challenges:-
