CD Sunday Challenge - From Me to You

This card is for our niece Rebecca who is 13 in a few days and who is heavily into Forever Friends.  I have used  DoCrafts Forever Friends Black and Gold CD for this card.  I am sure it is very simple for most people to use but as I am an absolute beginner in all cards digital, I  took all evening to make this one!  All the additions to the backing papers have been added separately with dimensionals so that they leap off the page.  I am very pleased with the result and I know she will be delighted.

Thanks for calling by and do feel free to leave a comment - I find them all very encouraging.

Christmas Card - Two Challenges

Bah! Humbug! challenge this week asks for a different shaped card from a square or rectangle, and Rainbow Lady's challenge is A Stitch in Time.
My card is octagonal (made with the Eazi Box Board) and the festive flowers involved using a darning needle to sew the gold lurex thread through the scallop circle punched centres.  I do hope this is enough sewing to qualify, as this is as good as it gets on the needlework front from me!
The sentiment is from DoCrafts, the ribbon from my stash and the highlighting was sponged in white Brilliance ink.  The sentiment was embossed with red Sparkle ep and is lovely bright and shiny in reality.  I am very pleased with the way this card has turned out  as it was a total experiment.

Bah! Humbug! #27 - Meeces

Mice sitting at the edge of their mousehole, silhouetted by the light of a frosty moon, watching Santa and his sleigh heading out to deliver gifts to all the boys and girls.  

I wonder how the story ends?

The mouse family is by Clarity Stamps, Santa and sleigh by Crafty Individuals, the rest of the scene is created by sponging shades of yellow, apricot and navy inks around a mask for the moon.  A bit of glitter was added with a Sakura Stardust pen. The Ho Ho Ho sentiment is by Docrafts.

Bah! Humbug! #42 - Presents

For this week's challenge I had an opportunity to use my latest Cuttlebug folder Flourish Frame. I think it is really attractive - just a little difficult to find something small enough to fit inside! The backing paper is by Artylicious - Seasons Greetings and the stamps were a freebie in a Do Crafts magazine. The parcels were coloured in with Sakura Metallic and Stardust pens.

Thank you for stopping by and please leave a comment - I appreciate them all.
