FLYING BY AND WONDERING WHAT HAPPENED WITH THE DAY ...

Happy Saturday evening all and this is really going to have to be a mega quick post ... I've had a busy day which was mainly crafting and completing orders but don't know where the time has gone! Hence my late blog session!!!

Anyway over the course of the day I've made 3 cards for challenges so here goes:

My first one is a commission for a 'French' themed birthday card and I decided to join the brand new challenge at Card Concept. I think my style would have to be Freestyle Collage but no doubt someone will pick me up if it doesn't quite fit into that category!

                               

I've used:

Uniko Studio: Flower Power Background stamp set to create a backing feature
Inks: Memento Ink Dark Cocoa onto Kraft card
Sentiment is computer generated
MFT Die-namics Eiffel Tower die from Dies to Die for who also sent me the pink doily as a freebie
Twine, pearls, envelope and wish ticket from my stash.




Next up my entry to this weeks Less is More and Clearly Besotted Challenges where the themes are Hearts and Love respectively. I'm short on Anniversary cards so thought I'd make a start with the romance theme in the air.




Items used:
Stamps and Sentiments: Clearly Besotted Paired Up & Love Hearts
Embossing Folder: Craft Concepts Woodgrain
I've added some glamour dust to the hearts and around the 'sun' too




Finally my combined entry for the ColourQ and Freshly Made Sketches challenges. My card stocks are very low and I needed a Thank you card so here it is:




Items used:
Memory Box - Thanks script die
Uniko Studio - Christmas Stars background builders
Stampin Up - candy dots
Sizzix - Dotty embossing folder

   


Sorry it's so rushed today but time is marching past bedtime. Bye for now and thanks for stopping by.
