Cupcake Inspirations Colour Challenge #191 - Guest Designer

Good Afternoon, well a little while ago we were asked by Nina of Cupcake Inspirations and Veronica from The Paper Shelter if we would like to guest design a card for this "Colour" Challenge for them, and Im hoping that you might like to take part as well.

Here is the photo that was given to us to use as inspiration, and The Paper Shelter are sponsoring it and offering a prize of

$20 Gift Voucher to spend on their website

And this is the card I created for the Challenge.

 

For my card I have used this "Santa's Cute Helper" and you will find it here, and at the moment The Paper Shelter have her on offer so its a good time to go and visit the website to see what else you can get at a special price. Ive printed her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, then used Nestabilitie Labels Die No.17 to cut her out, then drew around the metal die onto red card to create the mount for it. The sentiment is one from my stash and I have stamped it also onto white card and created a mount from some of the red card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, the papers I chose to use are also from The Paper Shelter and these are called "Christmas Spirit" and you will find them here, these are also on special offer so do please go and visit The Paper Shelter website and pick up these special prices while to can.  I have used several of the papers and layered them up onto mounts and they used some white webbing behind them afterwards I placed my mounted image towards the left with the sentiment across the bottom right hand corner.

To finish of I used some red card and a ornament border die to create the border at the top and a Memory Box ornament die in two colours for the embellishment on the right. The last little flourish are the two buttons at the bottom and on the sentiment.

Now that youve seen my card I do hope that you will go and visit The Cupcake Inspirations Challenge Blogspot and see for yourself what fabulous cards the Design Team have created and I hope that you also will want to take part in this "Colour" Challenge.

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

Challenge #91 - The Paper Shelter - "Birthdays"

Good Morning Crafters, its only days away now to my own big birthday I know you want me to write up exactly how old I am but I find it embarrassing to actually say it out loud anyway you can see from my profile what it is, its plus one. Anyway today's Challenge over on The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot is just right for all of those experiencing birthday like myself its a "Birthdays" theme and I know its one of the most popular themes for making cards so you can start putting your thinking caps on while taking part in it.
As usual our very generous sponsors are Veronica and Pedro of The Paper Shelter and they are offering a fabulous prize of  $30.

but as always this is providing you have used one of their products on your card, but even if you have'nt they will still give you three images of your own choice. I wish you would take a visit to their website The Paper Shelter, (click on this) and you can see for yourself what stunning and beautiful images they have for sale, they are always updating their catalogue and they also have some lovely papers that go with their images and printables, plus which they really are so reasonably priced as the exchange rate is brilliant and gives you real value for money.
Now I want to show you the card I created for this Challenge.

 

I used this gorgeous yummy "Birthday Cupcake" image you will find it here, and I coloured it with my copic pens then cut it out completely, and the sentiment is one of the new Britannia dies and this was cut out of pink pearlescent card.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of pink card, I then used the "Birthday Cupcake" papers from The Paper Shelter you will find them here,  the first paper is a pink background with lots of cupcakes on, and on top of this I have used a blue background with swirls on and a pink with spots on and then used my Cheery Lynn Pastry Dies to create two doilys which were then placed at angles on top of the first mount.

The Cupcake image was then placed in the center with the sentiment placed across the bottom right hand corner. To finish of I have used a rolled daisy die from Die-namics to create the three flowers in the top left hand corner, these were made with some of the left over papers and the leaves were punched with a rose leaf punch from some of the pink paper.

Now youve seen my card I do hope you will go and visit The Paper Shelter Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and I do hope you will feel able to take part in this weeks "Birthdays" Challenge.
