Scrap card

I was so pleased with the effect of this design on a previous card, that I decided to make it again using pieces from my scrap box. I could probably make a hundred of these and still have a box full of snippets!!
I would like to enter the challenge at

Christmas again

I should have scanned this card against something dark so that you can see it is a square card.
I was inspired by the challenge at Craftyhazelnuts Xmas, and chose to use red, white green, reindeer, and holly.
The reindeer is embossed with white detail EP, and I am please with how it turned out.
Thanks for looking

My first for this year!

Christmas card - that is!
I have used 2 images from my Tim Holtz set, stamped in Adirondack Expresso. It goes well with the pale cream card. I distressed the edges a little.
I have used a piece of very old lace, and threaded it with some recycled gold ribbon. The holly is a punch and I added 3 red beads to finish.
Sorry the scan is a little crooked!.

CAS birthday card

Today I have been busy with cardmaking and this is one of them.
The base card is from Craftwork Cards, included in a lovely prize that I won from Enfys - (Going Buggy)
I have used washi tape on a slope and stamped the sentiment and flowers above. I have also added some minute buttons at the centres of the flowers.
I would like to enter this one at

Nautical

The present challenge at Opus Gluei is a beach theme, so I thought this one would be appropriate.
I have used an embossing folder, and highlighted the raised areas with a metallic paste. I have also coloured the scallop shell with copics and metallic paste as well. I layered it onto black card, after tearing the bottom edge and added a couple of diecut shells.

I have made another card using the sketch from Cardmaking Paradise.
This is an ideal way to use up all those little snippets that we manage to save!!

with love

This is the first time I have used this cute wee bear which was in a free set with a magazine. I stamped with Brilliance Graphite Black and heat embossed with clear EP. I used the leftover snippet from the last card that I made and layered it onto the green card which I embossed with my cuttlebug. Coloured with copics
I am entering the following challenges
