Daring Card Makers Origami

A lovely challenge for me to think about. I have done some origami before but a long time ago. This challenge from Daring Card makers made look at something simple to do.

I chose to make a fish. Turned out a little bigger than I wanted, so made a smaller one and one even smaller.

The back ground has been dry embossed and a little patterned paper at the bottom of the card.

Happy Crafting.

Here we go with another card with the image I love so much.

This time I cut him out completely and attached him to a tag for the sketch given out on Freshly Made Sketches

Mojo Monday Sketch

I just don't know where the time has gone. We are heading towards the weekend quickly and I find myself catching up with challenges.

So to start off the next few posts is Mojo Monday

Here is their sketch and the card has to be tall and skinny (unlike me!)

I have taken elements of this sketch and created this card.

I do love this image very much and it doesn't matter what colour I do him/her in.

Happy Crafting.

AAA Cards Chalk Board

Thanks to a lovely comment on my last post I have found a new challenge blog.

 AAA Cards Blog set a challenge each week.

This week it's chalk board.

I have made my chalk board with mount board inked up in black and a white stazon ink pad to add the chalk effect.

I have yet to think of how to pop it onto a card but as it is a tag I had to add ribbon. One pale pink, white and black to co ordinate with the chalk board.

Less is More.. Die Cut

I have been playing around with letter dies. I have made my friend a name plaque for her children.. 5 in total.

Over at Less is More  they are asking you to use die cuts on your creations. So my creations have letter dies on. It is shadow box letter die set.

Freshly Made Sketches 137

I do love sketches that I can work to and get inspiration from.

This week over at Freshly Made Sketches I have followed their sketch exactly.

Stamp is from Stampin Up! I have kept the colours a kind of vintage.

Happy Birthday

 A simple card for a birthday. This fits two challenges. Firstly Cute Card Thursday they are asking for just text.

So no other stamping either by hand or digitally.

Next is Mojo Monday where I have used their sketch as inspiration, as I turned it round and made the round a rectangle. So it is more inspirational than direct use of sketch.

Happy Crafting
