Pattie's Creations Challenge #71 - Monochromatic

Here is my DT card for the next challenge at Pattie's Creations.
Silly me didn't realise that monochromatic could be hues of
various colours, so I did black/gray, but I am happy with the
outcome.  It would be interesting though to try out using nice,
brighter colours.  I also had a chance here to use my new
dies!

Greeting Card Challenge- July 8 - Cookie Theme

Decided to enter a challenge at The Outlawz, which I've

belonged to for some time, but just don't find the time to

be active there.  The Challenge is to make a card or 

project with the cookie as the main theme or 

focal point.  There must be a sentiment on the card.

Here is what I came up with:

Distressing – Tom Holtz Distressing Tool

Tsukineko – Brilliance Dew Drop Ink

Glossy Accents - Ranger

Ribbon, Pattern Paper – My Stash

ADFD Challenge #73 – 'Stress It'

It's been awhile since I contributed to a challenge,
and since I had new dies to try out, I decided to
take part in the A Day For Daisies Challenge,
which is to use distressing, which I like to do
on most of my cards anyway.

Stenciling

Recently, whilst in London, I bought a craft magazine which gave
a bunch of free stencils (I just couldn't find a digital scrapbooking
magazine anywhere!), so I thought I would give stenciling a go and
here is what I came up with.  I must say I was surprised at how
easy it is to do.  In the first photo are the pieces I put together.
The flowers I glittered.

A Birthday Card

Been away awhile visiting family and friends in London.
Made a special journey to a hobbycraft shop in Greenford,
which was very worthwhile.  Now I have two more die sets,
rhinestones and a great set of clear stamp general sentiments
- been looking ages for sentiments like these.

Pattie's Creations Challenge #70 – Summertime Fun

Here is my card for our next challenge at Pattie's Creations. 

The little girl looks like she is having fun, as I hope you

are at this time of the year.  I am lucky as I live two

minutes from a river and a fairly short car ride to

the sea, but the latter I rarely go to.
