CRAZY 4 CHALLENGES - C4C538 - LACE CARD

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by!

This week over with the Crazy 4 Challenges design team the challenge is:

6th June - C4C538: The month of June derives it name from Juno, the Roman Goddess of marriage. It was thought that couples who married in June would be blessed with prosperity and happiness. Brides seem to have lace on their dress so please create a card with Lace … either Real or Faux.

For this challenge I was inspired by a card made by Becca Feeken over at Amazing Paper Grace and you can see that card here.

The die I used is from Spellbinders and is called the Card Creator Emmeline Treillage Etched Die Venise Lace by Becca Feeken.  I love this die - it's so pretty and delicate.  I thought it would fit well with this week's challenge.

The flowers I used on this card are from Kaisercraft as are the gems and the Sentiment is from Taylored Expressions.

The rectangle die I used is from My Favourite Things.

It is a see through card and would be perfect for a wedding or anniversary card but I wanted my card to have a different feel to it and you could send this card for a birthday or just to let someone special know that you are thinking of them.

My card is similar to Becca's but with my own spin on it. I love the way my card turned out.

Thanks for looking and until next week - it's bye for now!

CRAZY 4 CHALLENGES - C4C491 - FLAMINGO CARD

Hi Everyone!

Thanks for stopping by today!

This week over with the team at Crazy 4 Challenges the theme is:

July 6 – C4C491: Today is National Fried Chicken Day in the U.S. For today's challenge, create a card with a bird on it.

So, I decided to use a card that I have previously made but was towards the end of 2017.
I used the layering flamingo stamp and die set from Hero Arts and made a see through card using acetate. This type of card was inspired by Jennifer McGuire and the video is here.

I did some partial die cutting around the flamingo using the coordinating die and I am very pleased with the way this card came out. I posted it to a friend who was very happy to receive it and this is actually her picture that I am using.

Here is the pic - I hope you enjoy looking.

Until next week - bye for now!
