Pink Gem Challenge - "Snowflakes"

Good Morning Gemsters, todays Challenge over on Pink Gem Designs Challenge is "Snowflakes" and I have to admit Janet is so talented and has such a lovely selection of images to play with and you will them here
 

And here is the Card I created for the Challenge


This image is called "Snowflake Wonder" and you will find it here, I printed the image onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens, afterwards I then cut it out and stuck glitter on the bottom and the snowflakes.
The base card is 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a piece of blue card for the first mount and the papers I used are also from Pink Gem Designs and they are called "Snowflakes" and you will find them here, I used 3 of the papers the first a blue background with white snowflakes and then the soft green and pink I have cut into strips and used the Martha Stewart Border punch down the edges and layered them up as shown.
The mounted image was then placed in the middle with a sentiment which was stamped onto another piece of white card and mounted also with a piece of blue card.
To finish of I have used a Martha Stewart Snowflake punch and created several snowflakes which were dipped into glitter and layered up and placed down both the left and right side of the card.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will wan to take part in this "Snowflakes" Challenge.

Good Morning Paper Shelter Followers, a lot of you are probably aware a couple of weeks ago the company went through a very bad patch and we are hoping that now things will start to improve but we are now disassociating with Pedro because of this and hopefully it will not be long before Veronica is starting afresh with a new Artist.
So this weeks Challenge is being sponsored by Veronica and she is still offering a fabulous prize of $30 to spend on The Paper Shelter website

I printed her onto white card then coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I cut her out with my Nestabilite Die and a fancy one for the mount out of beige card. The sentiment is from my stash and it was mounted on to a die cut from the same design set.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card and again the first mount is out of beige card and I used the backing paper from the image "On Air" and you will find it here. I then placed a circular doily and on top I placed my mounted image and the sentiment in the bottom right hand corner.
To finish of I have used several music instruments and placed them down the right hand side and beige pearls down the left hand side.

ABC Challenges - "Q is for Quick" - All Dressed Up

Good Morning again Crafters as this is my second post today (which is unusual for me) I hope you will bear through and see my card and all the chatter I leave. This fortnights Challenge over on ABC Challenge Blogspot is "Q is for Quick" and we are being sponsored this time by "All Dressed Up"


And here is the card I created for it


This image is called "For You" and you will find it here, I printed her onto white card and coloured it with my copic pens and cut it out with my Nestabilitie Die and then used a fancy one for the mount in pink card.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of pink card, the papers are also from All Dressed Up and this set is called "Pink (Girl) Papers" and you will find them here. As the theme asks for a quick card I have used just one of them a very pretty pink flowered paper and then layed my mounted image in the middle, and the "For You" sentiment was cut using a Die I believe probably Justrite and I cut it out of pink and white and layered them on top of each other to shadow it and make a little more pronounced.
Now that you have seen my Card I do hope you will pay a visit to the ABC Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for the "Q is for Quick" Challenge I hope you to will want to take part in this Challenge and look forward to seeing yours.

Pink Gem #177 Challenge - "Halloween"

Good Morning Gemsters well this fortnights Challenge is being hosted by Me and I chose the theme of Halloween as the Pinks next one wont be till November and I adore all the Halloween images that Janet designs and I just couldnt ignore it for my choice so I do hope you like it to.
As I have already said that Janet is our sponsor and our designer and owner of


And here is the Card I created with my choice of image I do hope you like the result


This little lady is "Chloe with Cauldron" and you will find her here, I printed her onto white card and coloured her with my copic pens, afterwards I used a Nestabilitie die to cut her out and then a fancy one out of orange card. The sentiment is one from my stash and has been treated in the same way as the image.
The base card is a 6.50"x 6.50" white card with a first mount out of orange card and the papers are also from Pink Gem Designs and is called "Batty Papers" and you will them here. I have used four papers and layered them up as show and on the edges of three of them I have used Halloween border punches from Martha Stewart, two of them are the tombstone one and the other a spider web.
I have just discovered after loading this photo up that the spider has escaped and has landed on the edge of my mounted image, I do hope Chloe isn't spooked by it, Im not sure I would want it to suddenly appear like that on me, it is rather a large one.
To finish of I used a Memory Box die for spider web and spider in the top left hand corner and a pumkin punch to create the die cuts also on the right handside.
Now that youve seen my Card I do hope that you will pay a visit to the Pink Gem Designs Challenge Blogspot and see what the rest of the very talented Design Team have created for your inspiration and hopefully you to will want to take part in this "Halloween" Challenge.
