Triple challenge

Wow, that weekend went fast. Summer holidays are here and I have a million things to do, extra work and 3 kiddies in tow! Phew...but shockingly enough I did manage to make a couple of cards last night. This one is for three challenges combined. I used the sketch over at Papertake Weekly. The theme I used is for this weeks "A Spoonfull of Sugar" challenge, and the theme is "summer". I am also going to enter this card in this weeks " Cute Card Thursday" challenge. Over at Cute Card you are to make a card with stitching included, real or faux. I used some summery K&Co papers that were given to me by a very good friend (thank you, hun!) , love these papers, they are so gorgeous. Cut out a flower from the paper and used it as an embellishment. Need some primas desperately so will hit the Craft shop this week. For the image I used a cute Gorjuss girl from Sugar Nellie. I coloured her in with promarkers. I also used some flatbacked pearls that I got on Ebay. I doodles some faux stitching aswell. I just love combining challenges, it makes it more..um...challenging!! ;D Thanks for coming by and have a great day!

A Spoonfull of Sugar/Daring Cardmakers

Whohhooo...another card for me today! Made this one for a lady at work, she has her 40th next weekend. This card I have incorporated in two challenges, over at Spoonfull the challenge for this week is butterflies. I got these DP a few weeks ago and one of the designs in the pad is of butterflies so I cut some out to use as embellishments. Lets hope she hasn't got a butterfly phobia...eeekkk! :D For this weeks Daring cardmakers they need some sunshine, since it's a bit dull down there. So the challenge is "sizzling hot", to use bright colours for your card, like orange, red and yellow. I used my Cricut machine to cut out the circles and "40" and for my round sentiment I used a SU stamp. I also used a couple of SU punches, circle and scalloped circle. The flowers are from Prima and Papermania. The letters for "VAL" I stamped with my little alphabet cube from Studio G. Quite a simple card, but didn't want to make it too fussy for her. Had a great time making it though, since hardly get any time nowadays. Thanks for popping by. Have a good evening.
