Hey There!

This is another card I made for the Moxie Fab World Birthday Sketch. Although I don't have a 'Birthday' sentiment on the card, it can be used as a birthday card. The crochet flowers were made by me along with the clay flowers in the centre. I recently got some moulds from Natalie from HappyDaks and had fun making flowers from FIMO clay. Since all the flowers were handmade, I'm submitting this card for The Less is More - Make Your Own Flowers challenge.

Ingredients:

Neenah Solar White card, Kaisercraft Tigerlilly, Tim Holtz Embossing Folder, MFT DieNamics Fishtail Layers STAX, PS Sentiment Sampler, HA Bubble Gum, Tim Holtz Peacock Feathers, Twine from The Twinery, FIMO, Flower moulds.

Twine Flowers for Maddy

I'm back with a very quick card, well sort of.. I was going to post last night but got involved with watching the television. We had a change in the leader of our country last night due to a ballot within the Labor Party. The elected Prime Minister who was overthrown three years ago was voted back in by the same Members - go figure. Our first female PM resigned last night and a newly elected PM was sworn in today... just in time for our up coming elections!

This card was inspired by the sketch on CAS(E) this Sketch and the colours of the current Moxie Fab World Tuesday Trigger - Scene in Tangerine. I'm also submitting this card to Simon Says Stamp Anything Goes challenge and I'm also sending this card to Maddy. Thanks for dropping by!

Ingredients:

Cardstock - Neenah Solar White

Stamp - Hero Arts CL661

Ink - Hero Arts Green Hill

EF - Sizzix Tim Holtz bricks

Others - Twine from The Twinery, Enamel dots from My Minds Eyes

Retro Flowers

Happy World Card Making Day! My day started off very well with an email from Paper Crafts Magazine, one of my submissions was accepted for Card Creations magazine (March 2013), this card cannot be published until the magazine comes out. Yay! I was so excited as this is my first paid publication call! To share the excitement, I had to make a card for WCMD! This card is based on the colours of CR84FN64 (Lt blue, yellow, green), the Retro sketch and the photo inspiration from Runway Inspired's Richard Chai Love Spring photo. I've been wanting to try stamping with the back of the cling stamps, so I pulled out the Sweet Threads stamp set and starting stamping away. Note to self - this technique does not work well if the images are not symmetrical! Anyway, I decided to go ahead with it anyway, I'm pleased with the results. What do you think? Thanks for dropping by!

Challenges:

CR84FN64 - Lt Blue, Yellow and Green

Black and White Retro

I had to clear all my crafting mess from the dining table last week as we had a family birthday celebration. It gave me a chance to organise my newly assembled Alex drawers from Ikea. It's so nice to have everything neatly filed away in 6 large drawers! I've used the colours of the CAS-ual Fridays challenge (Black and White +One) with this week's Retro sketch. I've also taught myself to crochet flowers as I'd rather make them than buy them. I've had fun making them in baker's twine with various colours. I'm also submitting this card into the Moxie Fab World Gallon/Quart and Pint challenge - White is Gallon, Black is Quart and Red is Pint! Thanks for dropping by!
