We all cannot wait to see what you all create with this sketch!

This is my card.



I started with a black cardstock base, the black strip along the middle and the four squares.  All were outlined with metallic blue marker.  I then stamped the squares with a variety of stamps by Michael Strong "Cloisonné Leaves", "Cloisonné Flower", "Cloisonné Pot", and "Cloisonné Vase", using Close to My Heart "Colonial White" and positioned them on an angle along the strip with gold gel pen doodles in the spaces on the strip.

I finished off the card with some bling from my stash.

Have a great week

This weeks challenge with Joann @ Jo's Scrap Shack is to use the colours grey blue and to use embossing.  I made a Mothers Day card for my awesome Mum.  I used black cardstock for my base which I folded and embossed using the Honeycomb Textured Impressions embossing folder from Stampin Up.  I then rubbed the raised areas using Colonial White ink from CTMH.

I then embossed a number of blue and grey pattern paper scraps and cut them out to fit inside the hexagons creating the flower pattern.  I then used some grey ribbon to form the stems and leaves and stamped the sentiment and the lips.

The card is very different from my initial vision and I am yet to decide whether I like it or not.  The important thing is Mum loved it and in the end that is all that matters.

Thanks for stopping by.

Welcome to the One Year Blogaversary Blog Hop of Jo's Scrap Shack!!




Come join us as Joann and her friends celebrate the First Birthday of Jo's Scrap Shack.  There are some  great goodies to give away.  Just become a follower on each leg of the blog and leave some love.  Winner will be drawn on Monday 6th May.


You should have arrived here by way of Candice.  If you have lost your way or magically appeared here fear not I have the whole line up of Blogs at the end of this post to enable you to join in and be in the running for prizes.

I can't believe it is a year since a number of Joann's friends encouraged her to do some creating and what a year it has been.

In celebration I created this cute little card

My base is black cardstock with the patterned paper from Crate Paper.  I just love this paper it is my last little scrap left.  My main stamp is a freebie I got a while back included in a magazine.  Isn't he just adorable?

I colored him with Copic Markers Warm Greys W0, W3, & W6 and the surrounding sky with B000.  The grass was a combination of Copic G24 and Spectrum Noir CG2, DG3 & JG6

I cut the image and the purple glitter CS using QuickKutz  Nesting Scallops. The sentiment is a stamp from Close To My Heart "Cherish the Moment" set which I hand cut out along with its glitter CS.

I crossed some ribbon across the PP layer and secured it on the back before attaching the PP to the base.  The sentiment was then attached over the top of the ribbon with one thickness of foam tape.  The image was then attached using two layers of the foam tape.

I then doodled around the edge of the card with a purple Faber-Castell metallic colour marker

Thanks for taking the time to drop by.  Don't forget to leave a comment and become a follower to be in the running for the goodies from Jo.
