Big Happy Birthday

 Good morning,  this is my DT card for the May Challenge at Stamping Sensations.

The theme for this month is CUTE CREATURES or Anything Goes, there are some lovely prizes from Highlight Crafts.

I made this card for a friend's upcoming BIG birthday, I very kindly haven't splashed her age all over it, although sorely tempted, as I know she can be a bit sensitive about it!

The image is by Anita Jeram (Colorado Crafts) coloured with Copic markers, I chose to use blue/green as much as possible as they're her favourites. The stamped sentiment is part of the same set.

Sadly, this challenge will be the last one, after 16 very successful years Brenda has had to make the very difficult decision to finally close its doors. It would be great to see it go out with a final flourish and a bumper crop of entries so please do take the opportunity to join in one last time. 

There's plenty of inspiration over at the Challenge Blog, full details of how to join in and the lovely prizes to be won.

Hope to see you there

Chris

Feeling 'all white'.

 

Good morning, it's time for our May Challenge at Crafty Calendar, the theme for this month is 

ALL WHITE.

This is way out of my comfort zone - I tried but not loving this card! I  think White on White cards can look elegant and beautiful and tend to think of weddings or Christmas so as I don't need a wedding card I went for Christmas. I used an embossing folder (came with magazine) a snowflake ribbon die from Poppy Stamps and TH sentiment dies. I distressed the edges of the focal panel and added some faux stitching with a white gel pen- it's white so it doesn't show up in the photo. Finished with a few little gems. 

The prize this month is 2  digi images of the winner's choice from LOTV

Now the rest of the team have absolutely smashed this theme so if you need some inspiration hop over to Crafty Calendar and take a look- wish I'd seen theirs before I made mine! 

Thanks for visiting

Chris
