Cross Stitch Cake Card...

I began the cross stitch with one of my best 

friend's in mind, as it is her birthday soon. 

 

I've never used a piece of cross stitch on a card 

before, but the finished design fitted perfectly into the aperture 

I had made for another embellishment..

and the rest, as they say, is history...

I used:

Creata papers, metallic embossed embellishments, 

mirror card, double sided peel-offs, brads and glitter,

a hunkydory card blank,

Grace Taylor Vintage scrapbook paper,

an offcut of ribbon

and various threads and aida for the cross stitch

Detail of the cross stitch design

I'm entering this card into the Creata Challenge, 

which is based around the colour inspiration below:

Hope you like my card, and thanks for 

taking the time to read my post.

Cuddly Creatures...

I made this card for the current challenge, Cuddly Creatures,

on Kerrie's Kraft Korner facebook group

and am also entering it into the 

current Creata Challenge, Pets.  

Just for the record, I don't actually keep a whimsical 

Owl as a pet, but if I did, 

it would look exactly like this...

This card also features my very first attempt at paper weaving!

Detail of the owl stamp. The body, branch and wings are 

separate stamps that I coloured and cut out.

And, of course, where would I be 

without my paper flowers!

I used:

Creata design paper and mirror card, Dovecraft paper flowers, 

some brads from my stash, pencil crayons, and a Woodware stamp.

Shabby Chic...

I am entering this card into the current Besties Challenge to make 

a card with a Shabby Chic aesthetic

http://bestieschallenge.blogspot.co.uk/

I used:

Bassill Basics and Centura Pearl card stock, vellum paper, 

printed parcel paper, stamps by Hunkydory and Stamp addicts, 

Spectrum Noir alcohol pens, Vintage Photo and Walnut Stain Distress Inks, 

Xcut corner punch, Dovecraft paper flowers and buttons,

 a scrap of ribbon and a Sherri Baldy digi
