The card challenge on Scrapology this month has been sponsored by Tracey Dutton from Lavinia Stamps is challenging you to create a card based on 'Dreams and Delights'

Here are the two cards I had fun making for the design team gallery.

I used various Lavinia stamps to create these cards, lots of masking was involved for both of them. For the first card I used distress inks and a brayer to create the background on matt card. For the second one I tried Linda's Gelli plate with the prayer and inks.

I also used:
Black Bazzill
Greeting stamps are from Lili of the Valley
Scalloped edge scissors
Ribbon
Liquid Pearls & Stickles
Stampin' Up punches
8" x 8" card blanks from Craft Creations
Patterned papers from Basic Grey's Marrakech collection

Pop over to Scrapology to see what the rest of the design team made for inspiration and have a go at our challlenge, there is a great prize on offer too!

52 Christmas Crackers 2014 - Week 28

Back with my Christmas card for this week, and I'm finally up to date again after my holiday. For details of this challenge please see Kool Kitty Musings Blog.

A quick reminder that this week's prompt came in the form of a photo for inspiration to get us kick-started. :) {Pinterest pin}

Lots of lovely features in this set of images that can be translated onto a card - I picked up on the fancy frame using the Cricut to cut a frame with the Sophisticated cartridge. I used black as a striking contrast colour element. I picked out the aqua for the background and red from the roof both from My Mind's Eye papers.

I focused on a quote/word art by cutting the word 'CHRISTMAS' with the Cricut using the Designer's Calendar cartridge and some silver glitter Thickers. 

I also used some Christmas sticker freebies, gems 3D foam pads and Liquid Pearls.

Thanks for looking.

There are a lot of lovely features in this set of images - I picked out the fancy frames and a banner from the 'Victorian Romance' cartridge. I used black and white Bazzill cardstock and aqua patterned paper from Basic Grey's Nook and Pantry collection. My silver letters are 'Peel-offs' and I have embellished the frames with some Liquid Pearls. The frames have been built up with 3D foam pads.

Happy Anniversary Mum and Dad!
