My DT Card on CC Blog

Well here is my card using the sketch created by Tina and she requested we made it a Blue Card.

For this I used the Popcorn Florals CD Rom.
I used paper design No 1 in the co-ordinating background paper section, and for the image I used Bear Design No 10 from the decoupage section.
The cardstock and Mirri board i got from Sara-CC.
I also used some brads, pretty blue and white flowers from Papermania and a sentiment from another cd rom(can't think which one it was....sorry) I printed off a while back that didn't get used till now.

My first sketch on my blog

I thought i'd have a go at a sketch for my blog, so if you wish to have a go at it, please do. I do not have any prize ....sorry. I am doing them just now and again and not on a regular basis due to not having a great deal of time to myself.

I have done mine on an Halloween theme and it is my first ever Halloween card.....lol







My card ingredients were:

The Orange/Black/Green Cardstock is from The PaperMill Shop
The Backing paper and Decoupaged Topper is from a CD rom called "The Orange Blossom-Crafting Treasury Volume 1"
And I hand wrote the word BOO!

Hope you like it and enjoy having a go at my sketch.

Wendys live challenge card.

Sorry but I had to do another Popcorn Bear card. I am so far behind with Christmas cards that from now on until the end Nov, when I do sketchs and challenges they're gonna be Christmas ones.

Sorry for the slightly wonky matting, I was having a bit of a blonde moment there.

Materials used for this project are:
1. Popcorn Bear Christmas CD Rom - Frosty & Bright, from this I printed off 3 x A4 matching Backing sheets and an Image from the Images section.
2. I used an A4 Sheet of blue holographic Mirri board (small amount of it used).
3. 1 x A3 white linen card from from The PaperMill Shop.
4. 2 x A4 Royal blue card stock from Creations Plus
5. I used my nesties for the matting inside, and the cuttlebug snowflakes embossing folder for the blue matting on the inside.
Finally I used some powder blue raffia for the ribbon effect to the front.

Hope you like it xx
