You Rock...

My second try at this sketch from A Spoonful of Sugar and I'm still not 100% happy with it, but eeeeeeek at least I tried.  My daughter, Shelley, wanted a Valentine card for her boyfriend, Tony, who is a rock music fan so this fit the bill nicely.  They both loved it - infact the term 'Wicked' was thrown around quite a lot so I was pleased with myself.

Materials used...

• Stamps by Inkadinkado
• Cuttlebug Embossing folders
• Heart and corner die by Spellbinders

My card is also for the challenges at...

• Stampotique - Love
• Dutch Dare - Valentines
• Cute Card Thursday - In the name of love
• Crafty Ann's - If music be the food of love
• Daring Card Makers - Hearts

Have a great day everyone.  I'm on a First Aid course today so that should be fun.  Just wish it didn't involve 3 buses to get there, but ah well needs must.

Pink Elephant - Challenge 54 - Ribbons...

I really can't believe we are on Challenge 54 at The Pink Elephant.  It seems like it was only a few weeks ago that we were planning our first challenges.  This week our theme is ribbon and we are being sponsored by one of my favourite stamp companies - C. C. Designs at All that Scraps.  I love their images and I love the way you can buy many of them in both stamp and digi format.  On my card I've used Leisel and her Wheelbarrow from the Swiss Pixies digital range.  I've filled the barrow with tiny paper flowers that I've had in my stash for ages, but I think the possibilities for this are endless.

Leisel has been coloured with Promarkers and then matted and layered on to blue card and floral paper from the DCWV Spring Stack.

I used this week's amazing sketch at Sweet Sketch Wednesday for the layout of my card and my card is also for the challenges at ...

• Pile it on - Flowers
• C.R.A.F.T. Challenge - Digi Colouring

Working till 10 tonight and then a really early start for the next two mornings so I may not be visiting everyone's blogs quite as much this week.  Enjoy your Monday everyone and do remember to visit The Pink Elephant to see what the rest of my friends have created.

Happy Birthday Max...

Yeah Max is 21 (again) - Happy Birthday Max

Hope you have the most wonderful day ever - although I do think next Sunday will be even better - just think of the company you will be in - SQUEAL!!! 

As you may have guessed this is the birthday card I made for my great friend Max.  I know she likes easel cards and I hope she loves this one and the Sugar Nellie stamp I've used to create it.  (I won't say anymore about the stamp just incase she's reading this before opening her presents).

The paper is DCWV and was part of the absolutely fabulous DCWV Butterfly pad that Lorraine sent me.  The photo does not show the beauty of this paper/card as it has so much texture as well as glitter.  To add to the glitter I've added gemstones in as many places as possible.  Blow the  'less is more' train of thought it's Max's birthday and the more bling the better.

Well that's my theory anyway!

As well as being for Max's birthday my card is also for the challenges at...

• Crafty Creations - Friends (Max is one of my bestest friends)
• Tanda Teaser - Cute
• ABC Challenge - New ( my stamp is new)
• Fussy and Fancy - Dazzle us (there would be more dazzle if glitter showed up in photos)
• Secret Crafter - Multifold

Happy Valentines Day to everyone and may your day be full of hugs and kisses.
