CCCB March - Green / St Patricks Day

The theme for this month's challenge( #14) at The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog is Green or St Patrick's Day.  We'd like to thank our sponsor for this month, Rick St. Dennis.  

Here is the card I have made for this challenge.  




St Patrick's Day is not really something that I celebrate, so I thougth I would go with the green theme and make a card with one of the wonderful images from Rick St Dennis.

I sponged some white card with green and then stamped the background with a swirly stamp, but it could hardly been seen, so I then dry embossed it with a chervon embossing folder.  Now you can see the mixture of swirls and the cherovon lines.

We would love for you to take part in our challenge which goes for this month.  Click here to see the rules and to enter.

CCCB Love/Friendship Challenge - Week 4

The Crafter's Cafe Challenge Blog closes tonight.  With February being a short month I have just realised that today is the last chance to take part in this month's challenge - Love/Friendship sponsored by Whoopsi Daisy!

Here is my second card that I made for this challenge.

Sorry not the greatest photo.  The good news is my computer is finally working again, so I can finally take better photos with my camera rather than my mobile.

We hope to see you next Wednesday for our new challenge for March.

Thanks for stopping by.  Hope to see you again soon.

Hero Arts 90 minute scramble

It has been many months since I have been able to take part in the Hero Arts 90 minute scramble.  Paula in Australia hosted this scramble.  We had 90 minutes to create a card with a Celebrations/Congratulations theme.

Here is what I made.



Sorry the picture is not quite so good. It was taken with my mobile phone, rather than my camera.  We have had some computer issues.  Our computer has now been repaired, but I haven't been able to download all the programme I use with my camera yet.  Hopefully it will all be up and running again soon.

Supplies:
Stamps:  (From Hero Arts) 4 flowers CG290, Branch Background CG122, Little Greeting Happy Birthday stamp C5594 
Cardstock: Kraft and orange
Ink: Versafine black, Gumball Green (Stampin' Up)
Other:  DSP (for paper piercing the flowers), Bitty Butterfly Punch (Stampin' Up), Pearls

The scramble started at 8am New Zealand time.  It was a busy morning, getting breakfast for myself and my children, making my card and getting everyone ready for church for 10am, while my husband enjoyed a bit of a sleep in. I keep an eye on them all while I made my card at the dining room table.  My two year old, Amanda decided she wanted to join me too.   Here she is busy at work!
