ABC Design Team Card - B is for Buttons and WOJ Design Team Card Racheals Sketch

Hiya

Here are my design Team cards for this week.

On ABC the theme is Buttons, so I have used K and Co Buttons my life journey paper and added a button to the flower. The image is a gorgeous Sarah Kay coloured in distressed inks.

On WOJ there is a fantastic sketch by Racheal. I have decided to distress my papers and hand stitch it. The papers are My Minds Eye and K and Co. The image has been coloured with distressed inks and the roses have been glimmer mistes in cherry blossom. The sentiment is handwritten and says goodluck but it is hard to see in the photo.

I hope you like both cards.

An old but beautiful Sarah Kay

I have decided to try and resurrect some of my old stash I loved this stamp but shock have not used it in nearly a year! I decided to use the Spoonful of Sugar challenge of swirls to inspire me. I distressed with antique linen and tea dye the image then painted using distressed inks - the dress is fired brick believe it or not! The papers are a lush K and Co pad I love, the flowers I made and then glitzed with glimmer mist and the lace is stash. I hope you like it. The weather here is awful it is like winter it is so dark hence the poor photo quality.

Spoonful of Sugar - Sketch

Yet again an awful photo of the card - by correcting the exposure due to the dark nights it seems to blur the image slightly and I don't know how to recrisp it. Well I am not sure about this, I am suffering from lack of inspiration and mojo I keep thinking my cards are not good enough.

I have taken inspiration from Kim and added swirls to the picture as the papers are so busy ribbons would not work. The papers added to the bas are all faux stitched in green and I have used a paper to mount the image instead of using plain card stock for a change. I hope you like it.

ABC X is for X on the card somewhere

I did this card before christmas for the challenge as my Nan had a bad fall and it was only after I received a card from Cathy I realised not only had we used the same stamp for this challenge but also pink! The flowers are from prima, large peach set and I have added pink gems to the centre. Image is of course Sarah Kay, my sweet Lili, which has been watercoloured, then mounted and cut using nesties. The ribbon is stash and crosses behind the image and the paper is from Laura Ashley.

I hope that you like it and will join us this week.

Magnolia v Stampavie - bows

The Magnolia v Stampavie is a challenge I have not done since the two blogs merged and I don't know why. This lovely Sarah Kay image has been coloured with waterpencils and mounted onto 2 layers of card both fauxed stitched -a dark green and a pink. I have used a sheet of Basic Grey sugared as backing and a piece of antique lace. There are 3 ribbons tied on the card and I have finished it off with a prima hydranga flower.
