Challenge #142 - Masked Ball

Good morning to you all, Thursday is upon us once again which means time for the latest challenge from

Rainbow Lady

This week we are inviting you to a Masked Ball or Mardi Gras and we have the lovely

Joanna Sheen

as our Sponsor this week.

One lucky participant will receive a Voucher to spend in her shop.

For my DT card I chose backing papers and this lovely image from

Debbi Moore's Venetian Masquarade CD/

I printed the backing paper onto a Deckle Edged Pearlised Card.

The lovely lady has been printed onto Glossy Photo Paper and I added a touch of glitter to her dress for some sparkle.

My sentiment and ribbon border are from the same topper sheet.

I added some beautiful blue Ric Rac Ribbon, placed at an angle and finished it off with tiny Gems.

Thanks for looking, don't forget to check out the rest of the DT's blogs as they have fabulous creations to share with you.

Less is More - 3 Squares

Over at Less is More challenge blog this week the theme is:

3 Squares

I have been wanting to join in since they first started some 3 weeks ago and this week I have made it.

Most of my followers will know that I have a love for Butterflies so when this months copy of Craft Stamper came yesterday and had this lovely FREE stamp on it's cover, I knew this was the stamp to use.

The stamp is by Glenda Waterworth who I am sure you will have heard of, Glenda's new company Chocolate Baroque is scheduled to give 'live' very soon.

My squares were cut using a Nestie - Lacey Square Die.

I stamped the butterflies using Chipped Sapphire Distress Ink

My Happy Birthday sentiment has been stamped using Brilliance Moonlight White.

This is a first for me and I hope the ladies over at Less is More are happy with my interpretation.

Thanks for visiting and do feel free to leave a comment, I find them all very encouraging.

Bah Humbug Challenge

Over at Bah Humbug this week, the humbuggers Ann & Max have chosen

'Things that Fly' as their challenge this week.

My base card is one I got when I visited the Sincerely Yours Show, it is packet containing several different colours and a different size for me. Sorry but I can't remember the name of the stall.

I chose to matt and layer before adding my image which is from Joanna Sheen CD - Giordano Christmas Creations.

The base matt was done using Alcohol Inks, Mountain Rose, Hazelnut & Caramel which I ran through my Bug using Swiss Dots embossing folder.

The second matt is a smaller version of the base card and again I ran it through my bug using the same embossing folder.

My topper has been printed onto Pearlescent White Card.

A Seasons Greeting Peel Off completes the card.

Thanks for visiting today and please feel free to leave me a comment as I find them encouraging.
