Thinking of you....

So I needed a rush card this week for a sick friend and I didn't have much time to make one, so I updated an old one I still had. I needed a more mature and peaceful image for my card so I used this Penny Black Butterfly image called soft wings. I used a gold metallic ink to stamp and did some clear embossing over the top added extra flowers and pearls and there you go. The recipient loved it, she was in awe of all the detail, so I assume she has never received a card like this before. Have a great day.

Bizzy Becs Store Blog Challenge

Hi all,today's card is for Bizzy Becs Store Blog Challenge which starts today and it is a colour challenge.I had a bit of trouble finding something in mint,which I don't have much of and this is what I came up with.Now the colours don't have to be an exact match,just as close as you can get.I do love this colour combo and my mission now is to try and get some goodies in mint....lol....The image,sentiment,flowers,brads and nestabilities are all available from Bizzy Becs.You have one month to get your entires in and the prize is a New Release Spellbinders Die Set Floral Doily Motifs pictured below,I so wish I could enter....lol...

Don't forget Bizzy Becs has also released a new set of digi images today and they are now available for purchase......I just love these boy images.I am sure many of you will be reminded of your boys when you see these images. 

Creatalicious Challenge #3

Good afternoon,here is my DT card for Creatalicious challenges...........the challenge is to use scraps/used sheets of DP,you can use new cardstock and to add flowers handmade by you. Bec found a tutorial on these flowers and I just couldn't resist and had to make them,though I did wonder if Bec and I would make the same flowers........lol......If you would like to make these flowers you can find the tutorial here, they are very easy to make.I did however adjust mine a little,the one on the tutorial was too big for my card,so for my biggest flower I used a 7cm square piece of cardstock and the smallest I used a 5cm square piece of cardstock.I also drew the swirl slightly closer together so it didn't stick out so high off my card,that should make it a little easier to post.A couple of posts ago I made a rose for my boot card,so if you would like to make one of these roses you can get that tutorial here .

How cute are these little CC Design images,I just adore them and they are fabulous to colour,if you are after any of these images you can get them from Bizzy Becs and she has 15% off them at the moment and I don't know when that finishes,so better hurry if you want some.Thanks for stopping by.

Colour Throwdown # 28

Good afternoon everyone,I hope you are enjoying your weekend so far.We are staying indoors as the temp today is 42 degrees(107.6 F) and tomorrow is supposed to be 44 degrees(111.2 F),we have had the air conditioner on since this morning to keep the house cool and it is staying on....LOL...I hate the hot weather.This card was made for the color throwdown challenge,this weeks colours are Red Riding Hood,Pink Pirouette and Chocolate Chip.We don't have these colours in Australia,so I have used Ruby Red,Pretty in Pink and Chocolate Chip.The image was stamped for me by my friend at Busy Becs, and I had already coloured it so this card came together quite quickly.I am really happy with the end result,I love these challenges especially if you are stuck for ideas.Have a fantastic weekend and thanks for stopping by and leaving all those lovely comments,I love reading them.

It's My Birthday - C.C. Designs

This is is my latest card,I wanted a bright card this time. I am not really into the bright colours but I do like to vary my cards as everyone is not going to like what I like.Even though I am not into the bright colours,I am quite pleased with how it turned out.This stamp is so cute,I have had it a little while and only just had the chance to use it.I have been wanting so many stamps from overseas that when I found them here in Australia I purchased all the ones I wanted,now I am determined to use every one of them.....though it might take a little while.I do have a much brighter and clearer photo of this card, but it didn't show the embossing at the bottom, and this one doesn't show the Kindyglitz around the edge of the centre piece.I went with the embossing to show how good the Cuttlebug embossing borders are.Thanks for coming back to look at my cards.
