FM86.. It's a Non Tradition!




Today's card is for the challenge over at The Friday Mashup!

I covered the top half of a Very Vanilla card base with Blue patterned paper and the bottom half with vintage style Red/Cream dotted patterned paper and inked the edges of the Card with Crumb Cake.  I die cut a long ticket border from Red/Cream doily paper, inked the edges with Crumb Cake, and layered it across the seam of the papers.  Some White lace was tucked under the ticket border.  At the bottom right corner you'll notice a small stitched zigzag horizontal line.  Two labels were die cut using textured White paper and lined paper, then mounted on the center of the card.  A sentiment was stamped in Bermuda Bay ink onto a Very Vanilla notched strip, edges inked, and affixed across the upper right corner of the labels.  A White half back pearl is added to the right of the strip.  I die cut a basket with Brown/Cream paper and wrapped White rustic twine around the top half of the basket and added a White button with the same twine in the left side.  The basket was them mounted with pop dots.  Three Silver snowflakes and two Silver circles were punched and adhered to the card.  Finally, a postage label was stamped, punched, and added with a mini clothes pin, and adhered to the basket.

Thanks for stopping by!

Today's card is inspired by two challenges, Create with Connie & Mary & Hand Stamped Sentiments .  I began on a piece of 3 x 6 Pool Party cardstock.  I really love this tone of blue.  The first layer is Pink Pirouette that has been run through my big shot, using the polka dot embossing folder.  I cut a banner using a piece of Regal Rose patterned paper then stamped it.  I also used some pretty designer paper, cut it into a banner, then added two clear rhinestones.  The center banner was stamped on Whisper White using Basic Grey ink.  I finished this card off with some gorgeous ruffled Pool Party ribbon (gotta get more of this, its amazing), a punched flower with a Rose colored button. Thank you for stopping by!  Alyson  
This is a set that we will be making at my 'It's Time for Spring' card class.  I chose two challenges for my creation.  The color combo from CR84FN Color Challenge and the sketch from Waltzingmouse Sketch Challenge . I began my creation on some Whisper White cardstock, then stamped these butterflies using my markers in Only Orange, Pretty in Pink and Bashful Blue.  You can hardly see in the photo, but I scorded 10 lines at the bottom and added some glitter. Here are the challenges: Please stop by again soon. Alyson

Colour Q Challenge ~150~

This next one was made by my crafter in training: way to go Mads!! Begin on some White cardstock.  Adhere a textured White mat onto the base.  To this I added textured Lucky Limeade and Poppy Parade.  Die cut flowers of your choice in Poppy Parade, followed by some punched out Daffodil Delight butterflies.  For the finishing touches add a coordinating button and sentiment.   Thank you for stopping by!   Alyson
