Many thanks

Hello lovelies I hope your week is going well. It has got really cold again booo! I hope your all keeping warm. Well that's January nearly done where did that month go?  It is actually scary how fast the days are going already. I'm hoping we will start to get sunnier days near spring, we have had so much rain here in the UK and my heart goes out to all the people who have lost their homes through the flooding. Its so sad. Lets hope things get better for everyone.


So I have just finished this card which I have made for a couple of challenges:

sassy studio designs
crafty little fairies-lavender and lace
sweet stampin-in stitches
the ribbon girl-anything goes

I hand stitched the card front, and added my stamped image along with buttons and flowers. I used my pro markers to colour her in and added a double ribbon bow with twine to finish the card off. I also used my polka-dot embossing folder to add some texture. 

Well I hope you all have a lovely week and I am still trying to sort blogger out but thank you all for hanging in there with me. 

Thanks for popping by,

Vic 

Shabby tea room challenge week 144

Hello :) thank you for stopping by my blog today. I hope you are all having a lovely weekend.

I have made this card for a challenge at the shabby tea room, I absolutely love their challenges and the design team over there are amazing!! The challenge this week was to make a card using the colours pink,aqua,silver with some glitter.
This is what I came up with and I have got to say I really enjoyed this challenge but what I have missed is taking part each week due to moving home and having nowhere to craft I have really missed taking part, however I can't be beaten and I'm having to go through my boxes of craft bits to try and make a card which seems to take forever he he!

The products I used to make this card were:

Kraft card base
Grid paper from Cosmo cricket
Me to you bear chipboard embellishment
Vellum butterfly's
Tab cut with my cameo
Felt flower with a glitter centre
3D flowers handmade
Paper smooches stamp
Versamark ink
Doily cut with my cameo
Pattern tape
October afternoon flower paper
Glossy accents
Seam binding
Glitter glue
Foam pads

To make the card I cut down my backing paper and placed this on the front of my card, I then cut a strip of october afternoon paper and placed this on top of the grid paper,which i then added the doily with foam pads and placed the teddy on top.

Next I cut out the tab and stamped my greeting on top and I then added the washi tape along the bottom of this.

I adhered the tab near the middle of the card, and then made the flowers which I placed along the side of the doily. I wanted a more 3D effect so I found some vellum butterfly's and placed them onto my card front.

As I needed to add glitter I found a flower and added glitter to the centre. I finished off the card with white seam binding to make it look complete.


I really enjoyed making the card and taking part this week. I hope you enjoy the card too.
