Challenge #23 Newsprint

Here is my enrty into the Ribbon Reel Challenge:  You had to include newsprint or bookprint and ribbons

 

I have chosen to use Prima Printery Collection of papers for most of the card as I thought it summed up the whole book print theme.  The stamped image is from Papermania Chatsworth collection which I have just stamped and embossed in gold.  Then I have made some little embellishments using clear embossing powder.

Cupcake 182 Yellow and Red

I thought I would give another craft challenge ago.  So here it is:

It is the Cupcake Craft Challenge

You had to use Yellow and Red as the main theme of your card or project.

I have used papers from Pink Petticoat called Autumn Blossoms and the Image is from Sliekje's Digi Stamps which I have coloured with promarkers and added some glitter.

TSTR Week #104 -'Colourful Confections'

Another week and another challenge at the Shabby Tea Room.  I love it!! Please come and join us and play along.

This week we had to design a card or project using the picture below for inspiration and include a tag, the colours blue, pink and green.

Here is my entry.

I have used backing papers from Printable Heaven. Yummy Cake Receipes

The green spotty paper was from my stash.  I have made a rosette into a lolly pop and added a sentiment tag and the stamp image is from Kanban which I have coloured using promarkers and paper pieced the ribbon.  I have also included some paper flowers and a little sweetie.

Liebster Award

I have been given a Liebster Blog award by Whimsical Whispers

The LIEBSTER BLOG AWARD is used to show appreciation of smaller blogs (under 200 followers) and to help spread readership and joy. It comes from the German meaning Dearest or Beloved, but can also mean Favourite. As part of the tradition, the award is to be passed along to five other blogs that have motivated and inspired me.

The other rules are:

The blogs I choose must have less than 200 followers.

I must comment on their blog, so that they know about it.

I must link back to the person who gave me the award and thank them, and post the award on my blog.

Birthday Tea

A friend asked me to make a card for her daughters birthday, so here it is:

I have used all the things I love just hope her daughter likes it too.

The backing papers are from Pink Petticoat Autumn Blossoms along with the cupcake stand stamp from Papermania summer blooms, which I have stamped and embossed in pink and added a little glitter.  The spoons and the tea pot are stamped in black with clear embossing powder over the top and these are from Prima the Printery Collection.  I have also included some paper flowers made using the Spellbinders Rose creation die.  So everything I love in one card!!
