The Card Concept - Not sure which style this is. Somewhere between 'Clean & Layered' and 'Classy & elegant'?


The Paper Players

Ferns & Butterflies

Hi! There's a monochrome challenge over at Colour Me...!, which inspired me to make this card. I clear embossed the stamped fern, and then used Shimmer sprays for the colour.

Big Orange Flower!

Hi! Here's a card I made tonight, after borrowing a stamp set from my lovely friend Linda at Crafty Distraction :)

I clear embossed the stamped petals, coloured them with inks, and then cut them out. I used part of a blossom punch for the base of the flower, and added a few details in white to match the petals. I used ink dusters on the bottom of the card to make the grass.

Wisteria Wonder

Hi! Only a few hours left of Sunday, but time to make a few more cards :) I just made one for the Colour Me...! challenge, which uses one of my favourite colours!

Christmas in July

Hi! There are a few Christmas challenges going on at the moment, and I have a brand new stamp to play with! I kept it quite simple so it's also ok for a man - I resisted the urge to add bling and sparkle! Just a little bit of silver pen...

New Stamps!

I've been on eBay again, which is always dangerous... my new stamp set arrived this morning, and I really love them! They were free with one of the Cardmaking & Papercraft magazines, but the seller had never used them.

I've made a couple of cards using one of the flowers images and a Happy Birthday sentiment;

This one was inspired by the gorgeous colours in the Colour Me! challenge:

I'm also entering it into the Sparkles Monthly challenge 'It's Spring'      

For both cards I used the Papertake sketch no. 64:

The current Papertake Challenge is 'Take Your Pick', which meant you could 1 or more of the following:

• Any Papertake sketch
• Glitter
• Blue and/or green
• Easel Card

I'm entering the card below in the challenge because it has the blue (with a tiny bit of green), and uses the sketch:

I'm also entering it into the Cas-ual Friday challenge, which involves using tan, white and one bright colour. I'm hoping they will forgive the two tiny green leaves being an additional colour... :)

Birthday Flowers

Here are a couple of birthday cards I made using a digi from Leaves of Time, and adding some ribbon and gems.

I'm entering this one into the following challenges:
Papertake Weekly Challenge: 'In The Garden'

I used lace instead of ribbon and gems for this one, for a softer look. I'm entering this into the following challenges:
