Rainbow Lady's Challenge 154

Good morning to you all, what a week we have had with Mr Blogger, unfortunately we were not able to leave you comments last week but thankyou for you stunning entries.
I am late posting as my laptop decided it didn't want to play and I ended up having to reload everything from scratch.
On to this weeks challenge over at
RAINBOW LADY
We are staying with Song Titles and this week our challenge is
Some Enchanted Evening.
Us, the DT's were able to choose a Digi Image from our friend CRAFTY ANN who is sponsoring the challenge this week.
My DT Card is shown below




I created my card base using the FREE version of Craft Artist, I hope you can see the lovely palm tree.
My scene is from Crafty Ann which I imported into Craft Artist and changed the colour, it has then been cut with a Nestie Label Die.
My lovers are from Dancing with Shadows CD - Joanna Sheen
This is also cut with a smaller Label Die.
As a finishing touch, I added the words from the song.

We hope you will join us again this week as we love visiting your blogs to see your creations.
Hopefully we will be able to leave comments too.

Bah Humbug Challenge 10

Good afternoon to you all,
Over at Bah Humbug this week, the ladies have chosen 'APERTURES' for this weeks challenge.

This set me thinking as I wanted to try making an aperture from my Nestability Dies.
So here is my card


I used Silver Pearlescent Card 5 x5 and used the larger of my Nestie Scalloped Circle Die to cut the aperture.
I had already had this Sarah Kay image stamped onto Hammered Card so all I had to do was colour her using Promarkers. I bought this stamp in 2009 when I shopped whilst on holiday, at The Craft Barn and this is her first outing.
I added a little sparkle for her fur trim using Glamour Dust
I inked the edge of the die cut using Shabby Shutters Distress Ink.
Another card to my growing pile and it's all down to my friends at Bah Humbug

Rainbow Lady's Challenge - #136 - Highland Fling

Good morning to you all and welcome to our latest challenge over at
Rainbow Lady
Cynthia chose Highland Fling for her theme to celebrate Burns Night on 25th January.

Do pop over to Cynthia's Blog to see what the rest of her Design Team Gems have made.

This challenge had me baffled so I decided to look up Burns Night on Google.
As I didn't have any images suitable I went for :
The Selkirk Grace & Bill of Fare as these are an important part of a Burns Supper Night.
I used my Nestability Dies to cut and emboss round the sayings and distressed the edges using Chipped Sapphire Ink.
The plaid paper is from my stash. A ribbon has been wrapped across the card and the sentiment - Auld Lang Syne added.
Matching flowers from my stash finished off my card.

We hope you will join in with us again this week, and look forward to visiting your blogs and leaving comments.
