Pearly Sparkles Challenge #115 - Patterned Paper

Hello and welcome to my blog.

It's time for a new Pearly Sparkles challenge, over at the Pearly Sparkles Challenge Blog. Our theme this month is to use Patterned Paper. I've used Core'dinations Teal Flower as the background paper.  I used backing paper from Anne Constantly-Carding's Unicorn Magic kit to make the flowers. I also created a box for the card using the same products.



I also used the following:
Cardstock: Teal, and White
Maximum Crafts Picture Window Easy Frame die set
John Next Door Blossom Flower die
Phill Martin Sentimentally Yours Classic Birthday Verses sentiment stamp
Pearls from my stash 

I hope you like the card I've made. If you've got time please leave a comment to let me know what you think. I love to read them and I really do appreciate them.

Critter Crazy Challenge #106

Hello and welcome to my blog.

I'm delighted to have recently joined the Critter Crazy Challenge Design Team. Challenges start on the 1st of the month and are anything goes but you must include an animal of some sort as the main focus. This is in the broadest sense of the word and can be furry, feather or insect etc. 

The main focus of my card is a deer scene created using Maximum Crafts Majestic Deer Scene die. This could be used for a Christmas card, as I've used a bauble card blank. It could also be used for other types of card, it would be good for a masculine card.


I also used the following:
Cardstock: Black, White, Gold Mirror
Hunkydory Adorable Scorable Marbellous card
Various circle dies
Back ribbon 

I hope you like the card I've made. If you've got time please leave a comment to let me know what you think. I love to read them and I really do appreciate them.
