Cute Card Thursday Week 5

Well it's my last week as Guest DT for Cute Card Thursday for April and I must say I have really enjoyed the challenges, my inspiration goes AWOL at times,

I'm sure you can all identify with that one!

The theme this week is 'Make Your Own' which panicked me a little at first but once I got my head together it was okay. For this card I have stamped the background swirls with Distress Ink - Victorian Velvet and edged with Walnut Stain with Stickles Star Dust. Tilda is coloured using Distress inks and the flowers I made following a fab tutorial here.

Cute Card Thursday Guest DT Week 4

Well its week 4 at Cute Card Thursday and its a brilliant sketch by Andrea. This is my fourth week as Guest DT and I must say I have really enjoyed the challenges, so much so it's spurred me on to enter a few challenges, something I havent done for quite a while. Time just whizzes by though and by the time I finally manage to get around to making a card the challenge has moved on to the next one!

For this card I have used Papermania Rose Garden backing paper, I love this paper and the little tag is part of the same set. I have coloured Tilda with Promarkers, the edges I have distressed with Walnut Stain and added Star Dust stickles. The gorgeous blooms are from Wild Orchid, I have spritzed them with Glimmer Mist Gold although you can't see it very well on the photo. The ribbon butterfly is my first attempt following a tutorial from Sue Nelson of Heartprints.

Thanks for looking, hope the sun is shining wherever you are.

Guest DT for Cute Card Thursday Week 2

Well the challenge this week at Cute Card Thursday is Mono Mania and as I have been invited to be Guest DT for the month of April, this is my creation for week 2. I have chosen the colour pink as it's my most fave colour and I have made a tent card which seem to be very popular at the moment. It was very simple to make following a fab tutorial here, I love these cards, I think I shall be making more of these!

The base card is Bazill, the backing paper is Papermania Rose Garden and the stamps are of course Magnolia. The images are coloured using Promarkers, the edges of the card and the aperture are distressed with Walnut Stain distress ink and Star Dust stickles glue.

Hope you are all enjoying the lovely Spring sunshine, its so nice to see the sun after such a long, cold and dreary winter.

Thanks for looking!!
