ABC Challenge

 I am entering this card for the ABC Toys and Crafts Challenge Inspiration http://abcdesignblog.blogspot.com/.  This is the picture that is to be used as inspiration,  I have picked up on the use of pink and red, a colour combo I love, and the gingham.  I have used silk to cover the Maya Road Envelope.

Bye for now,

I came 2nd!

Hi all,

Just a quick post to thank the Nicky and her team at http://www.polkadoodle.blogspot.com/ for placing my card second in their design challenge:

Plain and Simple

Evening,

I am posting this card I made for this weeks challenge over on Allsorts http://allsortschallenge.blogspot.com/, the brief being plain and simple.

I love fabric and have a huge stash of scraps from the days when I sewed a lot, I can never throw even the titchiest piece of a beautiful fabric away.  I have decided to use fabric more in my cards so here's a start.  This is one of my more recent fabric purchases and it comes from a designer called Jeanean Morrison, its called Picnic Parade.  I just love the colour combo, its so vibrant.

Hope you like it,

Colette x.

More Halloween crafting.

I love Halloween and Autumn in general.  Its the colours mainly that appeal so when I saw this challenge http://ribbongirls.blogspot.com/2010/09/colour-challenge-1.html I couldn't resist having a go.

It started out as a card and morphed into a little wall hanging.  I mounted the card onto a piece of grungeboard that was part of a bracket book.  I have also used some grungeboard Halloween shapes (the cats and the lantern) which I painted with black metallic paint and the pumpkins come from a Polka Doodles digi kit.  I used some Rock candy crackle paint which ended up curling the paper which I hadn't expected but it adds to the whole shabby look.  I tied on some black and white fibre to create a little hanger.

Thanks for looking,

Colette x.

Challenge Entry for Oldie But a Goodie

Morning Everyone,

I spied this challenge on Fleur's blog http://fleurapassionforcraft.blogspot.com/ and decided to enter it with this card.  I made it for my daughters Birthday and it features 'Rose' from the Flower Fairies.  It just sums up my little Charlotte, very tiny and delicate and with the sweetest little nature possible!

Craft desk is a mess but...

....2 posts in one day! I am on a roll so don't want to stop in case the creative juices stop flowing.  The card has been created for http://theshabbytearoom.blogspot.com/2010/09/week-27-fresh-living.html challenge.

The brief was to use green and or the theme of Nature.  I have combined both, I used elements from the 'Sing your Song' stamp set from Elusive Images, Cosmo Cricket papers, 2 M.S. punches (what did we do before they came along!) and a Basic Grey rub-on.

All for now,

Colette x.
