Simon Says Challenge

Hello!

Had a weekend of crafting (not a whole weekend unfortunately!) but managed to make quite a few cards which I'll post over the next week. Firstly, I made this card for the Simon Says Challenge which this time is -

• 3 TYPES OF EMBELLISHMENTS
• 2 PATTERNED PAPERS (you can also use coordinating cardstock)
• 1 IMAGE

I took A LOT of inspiration from Martine's card who is on the Simon Says DT. I couldn't help it, her card was so cute!

This card is for a man so I tried to 'butch it up' using string, buttons, a few distressed edges and manly colours. (No flowers here either!)

Summery Birthday

I recently got some new My Minds Eye papers that I've been dying to have a play with so I combined it with a few challenges and this is the result...

(Sorry the photo isn't great, there wasn't any natural light when I took the photo).

Sketch from Spoon Full Of Sugar, I used faux stitching around the image for Creative Inspirations, buttons for the centre of the flowers for Just Magnolia and the Cupcake Craft challenge was to include blossoms and butterflies . The Roses On Paper challenge is 'summer and vacation' and the Simon Says challenge is 'summer fruit colours'. The My Minds Eye papers are so lush and juicy, these areas also covered.

Thought I'd try a new way of showing what materials I've used so here goes -

Image: Magnolia, Kars 'Children' clear stamps for the butterflies (both coloured with Copics)
Papers: My Minds Eye - Bloom and Grow
Tools: Carla Craft flower punch, large Dovecraft flower punch, Woodware grass fronds punch
Embellishments: Anita's gems, buttons from stash, stickles glue
