QUIXOTIC CHALLENGE 26......."HOW SENTIMENTAL"...

Hi....i'm alittle late posting my card today..i've had a busy day and nows the first chance i've had to get on the computer.
I've made this card for the Quixotic Challenge where this week the brief is "HOW SENTIMENTAL"....make a sentiment/word art the focus of your card or project.

Quick and easy...i love to play with my Spellbinders frames and pendant dies as you have probably gathered from my card.It's suprising what combinations you can come up with!

Recipe for card:-

Stamps...Waltzing Mouse "Afternoon Tea" and "Afternoon Tea Sentiments",the little tea bag stamp i've actually stamped onto a double layer of a tea bag,cut it out and just adhered to the card at the top so that it looks like a real tea bag.

The large kettle i've stamped and coloured with Distress Ink "Spun Sugar",cut out and raised up using Pinflair Silicone glue gel.

Spellbinders dies :-bottom layer..."Foliage Frame" x 2 (black).second layer Shapeabilities Pendant "Fleur De Lis" x 2,top layer,sentiment cut out using circle nestie die layered onto a big scalloped circle.....all layers have been edged with the "Spun Sugar" distress ink.

Paper is Basic Grey "Ambrosia" again edged with "Spun Sugar"

Black pearls from stash.

Well hope that sounds ok to you..lol,we've (me and OH)have just had a bottle of homemade Elderflower wine with our meal and it's gone to my head....doesn't take alot..lol,don't drink much so soon gets over me!

That's about it then.

Take care

FOREVER FRIENDS CHALLENGE......."PINK and GREEN"

Hi....thought i'd make a card for the Forever Friends Challenge this week where a colour combo of "PINK and GREEN" is asked for....

For my card i've used Forever Friends stamp "Birthday Cake" coloured with Promarkers and Prisma's with alittle glamour dust threw in for good measure...lol.

The paper i printed out off the computer i think it's from a Funky Fairies set.

The sentiment is part of the image stamp but i decided to stamp and use it on it's own.

Metal charm and ribbon from stash.

POLLYCRAFT and A SPOON FULL OF SUGAR

Hi....Another card again today to cover 2 challenges....Pollycraft where this week the brief is "SUMMER BLOOMS" and A Spoon Full Of Sugar "CUTE and GIRLY"...it's the first time i've entered Pollycraft,i thought i'd give it a whirl,i was having a sort out the other day and came across a few Pollycraft stamps which i'd never inked up and this is one of them!

Recipe for card:-

Stamp...Pollycraft one of the Sharing Sherbet range,not sure of the name,i think maybe it's retired now.Coloured with Promarkers and Prisma's.....jazzed up here and there with some glamour dust.

Embossing Folder....Crafts-Too Dots 5x5.

Sentiment Stamp....Cuddly Buddly....Round Greetings.

Fabric Brad...My Minds Eye.

Not too sure about the end result of this one....never mind i've had my play for today :0).

The paper is Basic Grey "Urban Prairie"....which i've added alittle pink to the flowers using a Copic marker...i wanted to bring the pink into the BP.
