Ribbons and Pearls

Stampin Royalty has a challenge this week called 'Ribbons and Pearls'.

I found this challenge a little bit challenging, as I live in a very male dominated household, and don't use ribbons or pearls as a focal point. Well, all in all, it turned out okay I think. I guess this card could be classified as either male or female, hmm.

Ribbons and Pearls Challenge #170

95th Birthday

Here is my card for the http://www.stampinroyalty.blogspot.com.au challenge #161 (Birthday).

Another Special card for another special person. Our Aunty Cath has just turned, yes you guessed it, 95 years of age. Wow. Such an achievement for such a wonderful person. It is also cased from my previous polka dot card with a few minor alterations.

Guest Designer Week 2 Dynamic Duos

Okay, so only I would schedule a post with no content. So sorry for that. Here is the second card I have made for my Guest designer spot at www.thedynamicduochallenge.blogspot.com, using the above colours of course. The stamp set is one of Stampin Ups, that I have only just received, and must admit, love it. The stamp is called Topsy Turvy Celebration. Cool.

Here is another card for the girls that I have made (just in case my son is invited to another girls birthday). It’s always handy to have a stock pile ready to go. These downloads are from Kenny K. He has awesome digital images, especially for teenagers. I coloured the stamp in using photoshop 9 and all the cardstock and designer papers is from Stampin Up. I have taken a closer photo of the image so you can see it better.

Ahoy There–I’m back

Wow. I didn’t realise it had been so long since I had been in my craft room. Any wonder I am so grumpy. LOL. So here is the latest card I made yesterday. The image is from Bugaboo Stamps its another digital stamp. I must confess, I am addicted to digital stamps. All of the cardstock and patterned paper is from Stampin Up (naturally). The greeting is also from Stampin Up.

I again used Photoshop Elements to colour the image in and used the dodge and burn tool for the shading. I CASED this card from Paul Ford, who is on the designer team for Bugaboo Stamps, and I suggest you check out his work. He is another extremely talented artist. If you click on his name on the Bugaboo site, it will take you to his blog. Worth checking out.
