A Card for the Sir Stampalot "Poppy" Challenge

I was looking through my stamps the other day and found a poppy stamp, and as if by chance I also came across a challenge for which it is just ideal and that is:-

So this is the card I started to create.

 

I used a stamp that I had been given as a freebie on one of my craft magazines, it was stamped onto white card and for a change I thought I would use my Karisma polycromatic pencils, I used several reds and oranges to get the shades I wanted, then cut it out with my oval Nestabilitie die, afterwards I cut a mount out of red card with a deckle edge one. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been also mounted onto a piece of the same red card.

The card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first mount of red card, and I was lucky to find a "Poppy" digi paper set from Creative Cottage which I felt went well with the colour scheme. The first is a red background then on top I have used two strips on which I have used one of my Martha Stewart Flower border punches, then a Ive wrapped a ribbon around the middle and positioned my mounted image towards the right, and the sentiment at the bottom on the left.

I then wrapped three poppies in a bunch with a piece of velvet ribbon and tied it in a bow and stuck it at the top on the left.

A Card for Totally Tilda's Challenge - "Easter Card Special"

Good Morning Ladies well Im actually early this morning for a change but thats because I made this card last night while hubby was at his radio club, anyway todays card has been created for the Totally Tilda Challenge "Easter Card" and Ive used this sweet image of Tilda, masked her and stamped the Easter Egg behind her afterwards coloured her with my copic pens and cut her out with my rotatrim. The sentiment is another of the Magnolia stamps and has been treated as the stamped image.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card with a first layer of purple pearlescent card, and then used three papers from Donna's Bearlymine Digi Papers, the bottom one is one of Donna's new design one called "Spring Flight" which will be availiable on the 15th February, as I said yesterday they are stunning and you wont go wrong as they are so pretty, this one has a yellow base with green leaves with a dragon fly pattern, its not to easy with my photo as the flash unfortunately glares a bit, anyway on top of this I have used a green spotted strip on top of which is a mauve plaid one, on both these two I have used the Easter Chick border punch from Martha Stewart,  then theyve been placed across the middle of the base layer and around the edge Ive wrapped a dark purple seam binding ribbon.

I then stuck my mounted image towards the left and my sentiment below to the right, I then created a triple bow and stuck a pearl brad through the middle and stuck it on top of the ribbon that was wrapped around the middle. To finish of I die cut two dragonflies with the Doo Hickey dies and stuck them either side at the top.

A Card for Just Magnolia and Totally Papercrafts Challenges

Good Afternoon Ladies, well yes I know Im late again, but weve been swimming today and I got a bit behind with my jobs, so anyway Im here now so please forgive me. Todays card has been created for the Just Magnolia "Ribbons" and  Totally Papercrafts "Friendship" Challenges, and Ive used this new image of Tilda for my card, Ive stamped her onto white card then used my copic pens to colour her, afterwards Ive used the oval die to cut her out and used a scalloped one for the mount, both of these are the Nestabilitie Dies. The sentiment was one from my stash thats been stamped onto white card then cut out with my rotatrim, Ive also done the same with the mount.

The base card is a 6"x 6" white card and for the first mount Ive used a piece of blue pearlescent card, and I am using two papers from the brand new digi paper set called "Spring Blossom" from Donna's Bearlymine Designs, these will be available on the 15th February, and believe me this set and the second one "Spring Flight" are stunning, I will be using the papers from that set in the future and you will see what I mean. This first paper has a base of blue, yellow and green with daisy flowers all over it, the second paper I have stuck on top of a piece of the same blue card that Ive used a large heart border punch from Martha Stewart, this was stuck down the card towards the right hand side, and the second paper is a pretty blue base with yellow hearts and blue flowers on it, on top of this I have put another piece of blue card thats been put through my cuttlebug with an embossing folder.

I then wrapped a blue satin ribbon around the middle with a piece of lace underneath it, then positioned my mounted image in the middle with the sentiment below. I created a flower with the Doo Hickey Hydrangia die, and stuck it on the card at top of some punched out leaves and a small rose in the middle. The final thing is the two blue heart gems at the bottom on the left.
