At Last A Card .......

It does seem like ages since I made a card for some challenge's, I have been busy finishing a couple of DT creations but not a lot else???  I think I just lost my mojo for a little while, but I have not lost the ability to shop, I have bought a few gorgeous new stamps that are waiting patiently to inked!!!

This is my new Greeting Farm stamp, meet "Ruby" she is just soooo cute!! I love the expressions that are captured in these stamps.

I have made this card for the following challenges;

Anyone for Anya, "heart 4 heart's sake".

The Pink Elephant challenge 51 "polka dots, a bow and pink".

Fussy and Fancy Challenge 3, "hearts".

Papertake Weekly sketch 33,  I have used the nice and simple sketch, my favourite kind. 

Saturday Callenge 67, Donna's colour challenge

                                                                                 

                                           

I have couloured Ruby with promarkers, stickles stardust, glossy accents, DCWV c/s, BG Eva, MS heart punch, ribbon, flat backed pearls, nesties, swiss dots embossing folder.   I have used a scrap of card under the punched heart and used glossy accents between the latice.

At lat I have got this posted I have struggled all afrternoon to try and get my computer to pick up the SD card so I could up-load my pictures from the camera????  Arrrgh!!!  I will be back later with my card for the new challenge at Just Bears.  Thanks for stopping by I love to know what you think about my cards, so please leave a comment then I can return your visit.

A Double Challenge .....

I have combined the sketch from Sketch Saturday week 68, sponsored by Simon Says Stamps $25 voucher!! Anyone for Anya challenge is the second challenge which is "pink & white +1 other colour", sponsored by Dies to Die For - a cute Superstar Anya!!

I have coloured my Snuggle Anya with promarkers, (blossom pink & rose pink with lavendeer) the papers are Craftwork Cards again, retro flower punches, gems, brad, ribbon PM cardstock.

The papers do have extra colours in but they matched the image so well that I just had to use them!! It's surprising how difficult it is to stick to so few colours for a card!! The flowers are punched from bits from my sctaps box as it is begining to overflow again!!

Thanks for stopping by, have a great Weekend whatever you are doing,
