1 QUICK CARD.....TO COVER 2 CHALLENGES.

Well i wanted to join in with a couple of the challenges,but i've been pushed for time so it had to be a pretty quick and simple card.....no stamping or colouring,well i stamped the sentiment that took all of a second...lol.

Not my usual type of card,but hey i rather like it now it's finished.

The 2 challenges are Basicgrey challenge 27 which this week the theme is "TEXTURE"and Colour Create challenge 8 which this week is "NAVY,TURQUOISE and LIME",gorgeous colour combo.

For my card i've used Basic grey "Urban Prairie","Boxer"and "Offbeat",i've cut the flower out using shapeabilities Nested Flowers then i've used Swiss dots embossing folder to give some texture. the butterflies have also been cut out and embossed on the Wizard.I've used silicone gel between each of the flower layers to give some dimension and height.The butterfly i've made up of i each of the colours like the flower.

I've used my MS punch to form the decorative edge along the bottom and in the corner of my card.

The sentiment is by Scappy Cat.

Ribbons,button and gem from stash.

Well thats about it folks....

ABC CHALLENGE....F IS FOR FLOWERS.

The ABC challenge this week is "F is for flowers",should imagine there will be a few joining in this week,most people embellish with flowers.

For my card i've used a Foam stamp i got from QVC some time back and had never got round to inking it up,it's a fairly large stamp,the card base i've used is 6x6,this will give you some idea of how large.

I stamped the image using Versafine Vintage Sepia and just added a touch of colour to the flowers using chalks.All layers,lace and flowers have been distressed lightly with the same ink pad.

The paper is Basic Grey "Urban Prairie",Prima flowers and a Dovecraft flower brad.

The lace came with the Blog candy i won from Bev,gorgeous lace Bev thank you.

Sentiment is from a set from Create and Craft,no make.

Flat backed pearls and hatpin from stash.

Quick post...most dash now to start the tea,

Hope you've all had a good day,
